by Richard S. Lindzen – October 19,2021 Many of the world’s leaders appear to believe that emissions of carbon dioxide (CO₂) constitute an existential threat whose impact is already severe and will become impossible to deal with within a very few years. This has resulted in a number of international agreements, beginning with the Rio… Continue Reading
By Norman Rogers – October 20, 2021 The government and big financial institutions promote a fraudulent analysis of the cost of solar and wind electricity. Their narrative is that wind and solar are competitive with traditional fossil fuels and that the cost of wind and solar is rapidly dropping. Academics and the media amplify and… Continue Reading
By: CO2 Coalition Research Associate Vijay Jayaraj September 22, 2021 The global call to impose climate shutdowns akin to the COVID-19 lockdowns fails to recognize that there are millions of poor people for whom there is no room to compromise on energy liberty. Political organizations like the World Economic Forum see the pandemic-driven economic pause… Continue Reading
By: CO2 Coalition Research Associate Vijay Jayaraj September 22, 2021 Much of the media is reporting on what may be actual anxiety over climate change after ginning up fear of a climate apocalypse with false stories and exaggerated claims. “Activists ‘born into the climate crisis’ face another challenge: Fear of the future,” was the headline for a Sept.… Continue Reading
By: Dr. Bruce Everett – CO2 Coalition Director Even in today’s angry, partisan politics, reasonable people can agree that government policies at least should not be contradictory. For example, Social Security payments cannot be both increased and decreased simultaneously. President Biden, however, seems to have violated this principle by seeking less oil from U.S. sources… Continue Reading
ExxonMobil’s Neglected Shareholders By Bruce Everett – CO2 Coalition Director On May 26, over the objection of company management, two new directors were elected to ExxonMobil’s 12-member board.

By Norman Rogers – May 20, 2021 Bill Gates has written a book: How to Avoid a Climate Disaster. Unfortunately, the book is a disaster.

By Richard Lindzen and William Happer By obligating the United States once more to the Paris agreement, and by signaling very clearly that “climate” will be central to its policies, the Biden administration has joined other governments in the crusade against a supposed “climate emergency.” We use the word “crusade” advisedly, since the frenzy over… Continue Reading
Gregory Wrightstone “Winter is Coming” is the motto of the House Stark in HBO’s wildly popular “Game of Thrones,” referring to the looming deep cold that will be accompanied by terror and death.

By Gordon Tomb Other than by misspelling “fjord,” how would an American geologist draw the ire of a pair of Norwegian politicians? Answer: Write a book that counters the notion that human activity is causing the globe to warm with catastrophic consequences. Gregory Wrightstone’s 2017 book, Inconvenient Facts: The Science that Al Gore Doesn’t Want You to Know, was… Continue Reading
By: Gregory Wrightstone If you think that the Microsoft-owned social media platform LinkedIn is just about professional and business connections with no politics, you would be wrong. The online service appears now to be emulating its bigger social media rivals at Facebook, Google and Twitter in censoring views with which it disagrees. My second run-in with… Continue Reading
By Gregory Wrightstone – CO2 Coalition Executive Director Obama-era policies that favor so-called green energy over coal-fired electricity are dooming millions of Africans to lives of extreme poverty, environmental degradation, and increased risk of early death, according to a new analysis by the CO2 Coalition. The study by the Arlington, Virginia-based coalition of 60 climate… Continue Reading
By: Gregory Wrightstone – Executive Director, CO2 Coalition President Biden and others who would stake the future of modern civilization on wind and solar technologies are ignoring former environmental activists who have now soured on so-called green energy. As better-informed people increasingly turn to responsible use of fossil fuels and nuclear power, political leaders continue… Continue Reading
His email signature has at its close the irrefutable warning of the 18th Century French philosopher and satirist Voltaire who wrote “It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong.” Few know the true import of that phrase better than geological scientist turned climate/energy myth buster Gregory Wrightstone. Currently serving as… Continue Reading
Gregory Wrightstone (modified and inspired by Alistair Riddoch) THE STORY OF NOAH AND THE GREAT FLOOD According to the Bible, there occurred a worldwide flood a little more than 4,000 years ago that wiped out nearly all of a human population that had become thoroughly sinful. Only one man, Noah, was found to be sufficiently righteous.… Continue Reading

By Richard S. Lindzen CO2 Coalition note: This paper, originally published in 2008 was prepared for a symposium at Yale University and suffered a very unusual publication history.

The Great Energy Non-Transition By Bruce Everett, Ph.D. One of the troubling characteristics of today’s civic discourse is the tendency to confuse predictions with reality.

Dr. Richard Lindzen retired several years ago, and yet his immense contribution to the atmospheric sciences lives on. His research is still cited about 600 times per year. Lindzen recently published another… Continue Reading
Gregory Wrightstone The demonization of the “miracle molecule,” carbon dioxide, continued last week with the announcement that its concentration had reached 410 parts per million (ppm). Nearly all reporting of this noted that this was the highest level in 800,000 years and predicted a host of associated climate calamities. While the current concentration of this… Continue Reading
