by Frits Byron Soepyan Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon has signed a piece of legislation that directs public utilities providing electricity to more than 10,000 customers to “generate a specified percentage of electricity that is dispatchable and reliable low‑carbon electricity” from an existing coal‑fired plant or an equivalent new plant. “Low-carbon” is defined as electricity that… Continue Reading
by Frits Byron Soepyan In April 24, 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) passed a new rule that would require coal power plants that plan to continue operating after January 1, 2039, and new natural gas power plants that plan to begin operation on or after 2035 to capture at least 90% of… Continue Reading
We are pleased to announce the publication of our latest research report Nutritive Value of Plants Growing in Enhanced CO2 Concentrations (eCO2). Despite many years of claims that increasing concentrations of CO2 are an “existential threat” to life on Earth, one cannot identify any harm that has been done. In fact, the only clear result… Continue Reading
Is carbon dioxide poisoning the air? How much trouble are we really in? This CO2 Coalition Climate Chronicles video explains the role of carbon dioxide and its necessity for our food supply and survival. Continue Reading

New study finds that CO2 is increasing the rate by which the globe is greening, even under drought
From Just the News’ Kevin Killough: A new study finds that human-caused carbon dioxide emissions are driving increased plant growth that’s greening the Earth, even in areas experiencing drought. The peer-reviewed study, which was published in the scientific journal Global Ecology and Conservation, finds that the phenomenon known as “global greening” is an indisputable fact. The… Continue Reading

Letter To The Editor: Gov Gordon, We Disagree That There Is A CO2-Driven “Climate Crisis”
From Cowboy State Daily: Dear editor: This is an open letter to Governor Mark Gordon. You stated that Wyoming “will be the first carbon negative state.” You say you will lead the initiative to “decarbonize[e] the West”. Sen. Steinmetz and other legislators challenged you to support your claims of this supposed looming CO2-driven “climate crisis”… Continue Reading
By Larry Bell To get some sense of powerful political agenda influences on global climate and environmental policies, it’s instructive to revisit the acid rain hysteria of the late 1960s which led quite directly to demonization of carbon dioxide (CO2) as a “climate pollutant.” This second manufactured scare continues today, thanks to active assistance from… Continue Reading
A team of climate experts from the CO2 Coalition, including Dr. William Happer, Dr. Byron Soepyan and Gregory Wrightstone will travel to Wyoming to provide the facts concerning the huge benefits of carbon dioxide. Their new report Wyoming and Climate Change: CO2 Should Be Celebrated, Not Captured is available now. Gillette Community College, Presentation Hall… Continue Reading
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report examines the actual and projected effects of the climate on the State of Wyoming in response to proposals to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) through the use of “carbon capture” in order to avert purportedly catastrophic atmospheric warming. This research concludes that Wyoming – like the planet – is benefiting… Continue Reading
We have about 100 years of data on wildfires in the United States available to us. However, misleading charts only present data which appears to support a massive increase in wildfires. But when you examine the entire 100-year database, you reveal a completely different perspective that shows a dramatic decrease in the amount of acres… Continue Reading
Through a partnership of the CO2 Coalition and members of the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau (PFB), the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) has adopted policy statements presenting a rational consideration of the climate change issue. The action was taken at the AFBF national convention this month, reports Julie Schrum, a PFB board member. Last summer, CO2… Continue Reading
By Samuel Furfari COP28 was seen by many as groundbreaking, with the first appearance of the term ‘energy’ in the conclusions. The mention of a ‘transitioning away’ from fossil fuels’ caused a stir. However, an analysis of the text shows that there are so many loopholes that they have allowed developing countries to sign up because – as… Continue Reading
by Joseph Fournier I don’t know about you, but I am tired of being bombarded everyday by the claim that CO2 is a pollutant and that as a polluter I must pay. I seriously doubt the average person would accept this perspective, if they understood that CO2 is in fact a prerequisite of Life, and that… Continue Reading
Why are you hearing dire climate warnings? Almost daily? Preachers of a fiery climate change gospel want you to believe that only they have the plan to stop it. But to do so, they must take control of our financial system. The climate experts at the CO2 Coalition have the complete set of data and… Continue Reading
By Frits Byron Soepyan I am a chemical engineer who once did research on removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the emissions of industrial plants or directly from the atmosphere. But I now see CO2 as a critical plant food necessary for all of life on Earth. Frankly, the more the better. In my former career,… Continue Reading
Wyoming Governor Backs Down from CO2 Showdown by Gregory Wrightstone 11/12/23 Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon was standing tall in the saddle when he accepted an invitation to debate publicly his so-called carbon-negative policy in a state heavily engaged in the production of fossil fuels. However, he ultimately backed down. As reported by the Cowboy State… Continue Reading
In late October, education experts at the Texas Public Policy Foundation asked the CO2 Coalition to assist in reviews of science textbooks in the Lone Star State. Time was very short, and we quickly assembled a team of science and education experts. Within three days our team completed an analysis of the problems that we identified. A… Continue Reading
CO2 Rocks! From Hot Rocks to Cool Rocks By Bob Hoye When reviewing the history of our atmosphere, it is fascinating that at first it was all atmosphere and no Earth. And it was mainly hydrogen. Then, due to the implacable nature of gravity, enough of it got together to form our hot Sun, while… Continue Reading
Trent on the Loose interviewed Executive Director Gregory Wrightstone, author of the best-selling book “Inconvenient Facts.” The conversation focused on the oftentimes controversial topic of carbon dioxide (CO2). About Trent on the Loos: Trent Loos is a sixth-generation cattle rancher who travels the country on horseback looking for the people and places that make this… Continue Reading
The evidence is clear that natural forces and their feedbacks, not human-caused carbon dioxide, are the primary cause of today’s ‘climate change’ BY KEN WILSON, P.ENG. (RET.), SEPT. 14, 2023 INTRODUCTION The IPCC has dominated the funding and development of the anthropogenic global warming narrative since its inception in 1988. The IPCC’s work has been… Continue Reading
By Gregory Wrightstone A deception perpetrated by The Lancet is another example of how once respected institutions of the scientific community are not above abandoning principle to advance the fearmongering of a planet warming to purportedly dangerous levels. As reported in the CO2 Coalition’s online newsletter, The Lancet published a study showing that cold-related deaths… Continue Reading
