From The Guardian’s Rebecca Solnit: The president of Cop28, Sultan Al Jaber, has claimed there is “no science” indicating that a phase-out of fossil fuels is needed to restrict global heating to 1.5C, the Guardian and the Centre for Climate Reporting can reveal. Al Jaber also said a phase-out of fossil fuels would not allow sustainable…

“Overall, U.S. energy-related CO2 emissions increased slightly in 2022 to 4,939 MMmt from 4,905 MMmt in 2021, driven by a 2% increase in transportation sector emissions and a combined 1% increase in the residential and commercial sectors, according to our newly released annual report on energy-related carbon emissions. Industrial sector emissions declined by 2% as…

The group of dealers, which collectively dubbed themselves the EV Voice…

Magma-induced earthquakes began in southwest Iceland in late October, peaking last week before recently waning. As a surface expression of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the island nation is no stranger to volcanic activity. At least three major eruptions over the last 3,000 years were large enough to significantly impact global climate. Each of these three led…

From Texas Monthly’s Russell Gold: Every year since 1958, the West Texas town of Sweetwater has hosted the World’s Largest Rattlesnake Roundup, which is exactly what it sounds like. Thousands of the venomous ophidians are rooted out of their dens and brought to the Nolan County Coliseum to be gawked at, “milked,” and often beheaded and skinned. It…

Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon sparked a backlash from state lawmakers when he discussed plans to make the Cowboy State carbon dioxide-neutral during a talk at Harvard last month. The governor added that the problem won’t be solved by turning off fossil fuels, and he promoted the use of carbon capture and sequestration. These technologies either capture…

Recently Dr. Clauser has come out strongly against the notion that there is a climate emergency, but his remarks have been ignored by journalists following a ‘settled’ narrative. Unfortunately, the WaPo stunt turned into a spectacular own goal since it called on the services of the science influencer Michael Mann to attack Clauser’s view as…

Guest Column: Gordon Was Standing Tall In The Saddle Until He Backed Down Guest columnist Gregory Wrightstone writes, “Gov. 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…

The combination of modest warming, more CO2 and use of nitrogen fertilizers (derived from fossil fuels) are greatly increasing crop yields worldwide. Thanks to this abundance of food production, deaths due to famine are in steep decline despite increasing temperatures in the 20th century. The chart above is sourced from the new book A Very Convenient…

CO2 Coalition Director and Nobel Laureate (Physics) John Clauser traveled to Baltimore this past week to speak at a press conference on climate. He began his presentation with the exclamation: “Great news! There is no climate crisis!… Much as it may upset many people, my message is the planet is not in peril.” The Washington Post ran…

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…

From Daily Caller’s Nick Pope: The Washington Post published a piece on Thursday critical of a Nobel laureate scientist, quoting the criticisms of a scientist who has erroneously suggested that he is a Nobel Prize winner. In its story, the Post quotes Michael Mann, a climate scientist who currently serves as the director of the Center for…

From Bloomberg’s Michael Hirtzer: So much for the summer of drought and extreme heat in the US that triggered early fears about crop damage. On Thursday, the Department of Agriculture made it official: This year’s corn harvest was the biggest ever. The most widely grown US crop will total 15.234 billion bushels, the USDA said in its latest…

From Newsmax: Two new internationally peer reviewed studies published in major scientific journals have documented misleading Northern Hemisphere temperature data and attribution analyses indicating inadequate considerations of Urban Heat Island (UHI) influences on climate records and dominant influences of the sun in producing warming and cooling changes. Published in August by the journal Climate, the first…

Three CO2 Coalition members were quoted extensively in this Epoch Times article. John Droz, Lars Schernikau and Mark Mills provided critically needed information on the dangers of increased reliance on renewable energy. Gregg Goodnight also provided information on background to the author. “We’re following people here that are pied pipers,” physicist and energy analyst John…

From Polar Bear Science: Last December, researchers vigorously promoted a possible 27% decline in Western Hudson Bay (WH) polar bear abundance but kept hidden the fact that adjacent Southern Hudson Bay (SH) numbers increased by 30% over the same period. And surprise, surprise: the bombshell SH results call into question everything the ‘experts’ have been saying about polar bears…

From RealClearInvestigations’ James Varney: After years as a federal officer helping the Drug Enforcement Administration hunt drug lords across Central Asia, and years more teaching in Maryland classrooms, Robin Shaffer anticipated a quiet retirement watching the deep swells roll across the Atlantic and crash on to the broad Jersey Shore. Instead, he finds himself embroiled…

From Epoch Times‘ Alex Newman: Leading voices in the climate community are in an uproar as their warming hypothesis comes under fresh assault by new scientific papers.

From Real Clear Investigations’ John Murawski: As the Biden administration and governments worldwide make massive commitments to rapidly decarbonize the global economy, the persistent effort to silence climate change skeptics is intensifying – and the critics keep pushing back.  This summer the International Monetary Fund summarily canceled a presentation by John Clauser, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist who publicly…

From Epoch Times‘ Jan Jekielek and Mimi Nguyen Ly: Nobel Prize laureate John Clauser has recently been in the spotlight for challenging prevailing climate models, which he says have ignored a key variable.

From Epoch Times’ Naveen Athrappully: Climate Models and Sunlight Reflection International scientists have jointly signed a declaration dismissing the existence of a climate crisis and insisting that carbon dioxide is beneficial to Earth. “There is no climate emergency,” the Global Climate Intelligence Group (CLINTEL) said in its World Climate Declaration (pdf), made public in August.…

From Epoch Times‘ Kevin Stocklin column IN-DEPTH: Legal Storm Brewing Over Insurers’ ESG Agenda: Despite the claim that weather is getting more “extreme,” some who track climate trends say the evidence suggests otherwise.
