Far from being dangerous, as the IPCC teaches, more carbon dioxide will create more food. However, driving GHG emissions to Net Zero and eliminating fossil fuels would be disastrous for billions of people

By Richard Lindzen & William Happer, CO2 Coalition, June 7, 2025

Below is the executive summary of a paper by physicists Richard Lindzen and William Happer that undermines the views of the IPCC and many governments that carbon dioxide is a harmful greenhouse gas that will cause unrestricted warming if drastic carbon emissions are not instituted.

Prediction of ‘extreme’ warming by 2070 shows that, far from facing a climate catastrophe, Canadians, most Americans, and most Europeans will actually be better off

By Climate Realists of B.C., August 29, 2025

In October 2021, the Financial Times of London published a map showing the climate-alarmist view of what our world will be like in 2070 in terms of “livability” (see Figure 1).¹

1. “Climate change could bring near-unliveable conditions for 3bn people, say scientists,” by Steven Bernard, Dan Clark and Sam Joiner, Financial Times, Oct. 31, 2021. The article is behind a pay wall, but you might find it with the search terms “livability map 2070 financial times” [↩]

Arctic ice isn’t shrinking; coral reefs are thriving. Does this mean the death of climate alarmism?

By Michael Shellenberger, Public News, Aug. 21, 2025

It’s been a bad couple of years for the climate apocalypse. In 2022, scientists announced that coral was at record levels on the Great Barrier Reef, after decades of claiming it would all die out. In 2023, Greta Thunberg moved on to battling Israel a year after making clear that she had viewed climate change as a tool to fight “the whole capitalist system.”

And last year, the New York Times was forced to acknowledge that 89% of atolls, like the Maldives, were either growing in size or not shrinking, after the media and alarmists had claimed, for years, that climate change would wipe them out.… Read more

A warmer planet means a longer growing season; more CO2 means more luxuriant plant growth. ‘Global warming’ is making the planet more livable

By Steve Sawyer, Quora, August 11, 2025

One of the biggest problems humanity faces is not “climate change” but the global-warming alarmists who continue to spread fear with their constant reports linking every and all natural disasters to global warming (including recent heat waves), which they portray as an existential threat to our world and all of the human race.

So far, global temperatures have risen 1 degree Celsius in the last 150 years (per IPCC AR6). That is far from a catastrophe or an existential threat.… Read more

Politicization and polarization of ’emissions reduction’ strategy has blinded climate alarmists and skeptics to seeking co-operative adaptive solutions to weather and climate events

By Roger Pielke, Jr., Honest Broker Substack, July 15, 2025

Twenty-five years ago this month, Dan Sarewitz and I published a widely read and discussed article in The Atlantic Monthly titled, Breaking the Global Warming Gridlock (unpaywalled version here). Today I quote extensively from it and share both my and Dan’s perspectives on it from 2025. … Read more

Fall in sulfur dioxide emissions and deforestation are more responsible for recent warming than carbon dioxide emissions

By Climate Realists of B.C., July 1, 2025

Summary

Historically, climate changes and global warming have not been well understood because of the incredible complexity of our natural world.

Therefore, in 1988, the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established to assess the science related to climate change. The panel assumed that natural drivers are constant over time and that the recent observed increase in global temperatures is caused by increases of anthropogenic (human-generated) carbon dioxide in our atmosphere.… Read more

Generations have been brainwashed into believing the false ideology that we face climate doom

By Nigel Southway, Take Back Manufacturing, June 21, 2025

We climate realists waste a lot of our time debunking the wild and weird statements made via the media by many scientists who are trapped in the climate emergency Industrial complex.

To keep the funding going or get that paper published, the Climate Emergency Industrial Complex has to say something eyebrow-raising that then gets super-amplified by a sensation-seeking media. Their writings have little to do with real science or solid input to future policies and much more to do with keeping the climate-emergency narrative going and keeping the funding flowing.… Read more
