By Bruce M. Everett At a recent Harwich meeting, state Rep. Sarah Peake, D-Provincetown, praised the proposed “Green New Deal” to move the U.S. to 100 percent zero-emission energy within 10 years. (Ignore for now the other Green New Deal proposals for guaranteed jobs, free health care and college, the elimination of poverty, etc.) Ms.
By Douglas Clark The Department of Energy (DOE) has earmarked up to $30 million for research and development (R&D) related to front-end engineering design (FEED) studies for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture systems. “With the Department’s ongoing investment in advanced carbon capture technologies, we will ensure that we can continue using our abundant domestic resources to
By Willis Eschenbach People often say that we’re heading into the unknown with regards to CO2 and the planet. They say we can’t know, for example, what a 2°C warming will do because we can’t do the experiment. This is seen as important because for unknown reasons, people have battened on to “2°C” as being
Paper Reviewed Mo, K.C. and Lettenmaier, D.P. 2018. Drought variability and trends over the central United States in the instrumental record. Journal of Hydrometeorology 19: 1149-1166. Climate models in general predict that extreme weather events will become more frequent and more severe in the future in response to CO2-induced global warming. Hence, it is important
When UC Santa Barbara geology professor emeritus James Kennett and colleagues set out years ago to examine signs of a major cosmic impact that occurred toward the end of the Pleistocene epoch, little did they know just how far-reaching the projected climatic effect would be. “It’s much more extreme than I ever thought when I
By Scott Waldman President Trump is dismissing climate science in the same way he attacks news reports that don’t portray him in a flattering light: by calling it “fake.” In a tweet yesterday, Trump quoted something Patrick Moore, who has long attacked climate science using his credentials as a Greenpeace activist in the early 1970s,
By Die kalte Sonne (German text translated/edited by P Gosselin) Whenever the hurricane season in the Caribbean begins, the whole world and the German Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) wait for a strong storm, as it presents the ideal opportunity to sell climate change, as was the case in September 2017 when Potsdam’s
By Ilene Eng Part of the New Green Deal aims to replace all cars and airplanes with zero-greenhouse gas transportation like electric cars and high-speed rail. It implies that carbon dioxide is doing us more overall harm than good. However, research shows that CO2 is more important than we realize. In response to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s
Concerns about the future are certainly justified, but for the present, a strategy of wait, watch, and grow is the best way to deal with global warming. By Caleb Rossiter A lot of smart people believe that we must end the use of the carbon-based “fossil fuels” of coal, natural gas, and oil that created

Effects of elevated pCO2 on physiological performance of marine microalgae Dunaliella salina (Chlorophyta, Chlorophyceae). Journal of Oceanology and Limnology 36: 317-328. Dunaliella salina is a green microalgae that is typically found in high saline waters. It is
The CO2 Coalition was established in 2015 as a 501(c)(3) for the purpose of educating thought leaders, policy makers, and the public about the important contribution made by carbon dioxide to our lives and the economy.
Political leaders know that serious CO2 reductions would bring higher energy prices, economic recession, and a prem… https://t.co/JNLHzT4Cl3
