THERE WILL BE DISASTROUS CONSEQUENCES FOR THE POOR, PEOPLE WORLDWIDE, FUTURE GENERATIONS AND THE WEST IF FOSSIL FUELS, CO₂ AND OTHER GHG EMISSIONS ARE REDUCED TO “NET ZERO”

• CO₂ is Essential to Our Food, and Thus to Life on Earth
• More CO₂, Including CO₂ from Fossil Fuels, Produces More Food.

• More CO₂ Increases Food in Drought-Stricken Areas.

• Greenhouse Gases Prevent Us from Freezing to Death

• Enormous Social Benefits of Fossil Fuels
• “Net Zeroing” Fossil Fuels Will Cause Massive Human Starvation by Eliminating Nitrogen Fertilizer

THE IPCC IS GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED AND THUS ONLY ISSUES GOVERNMENT OPINIONS, NOT SCIENCE

SCIENCE DEMONSTRATES FOSSIL FUELS, CO₂ AND OTHER GHGs WILL NOT CAUSE CATASTROPHIC GLOBAL WARMING AND EXTREME WEATHER

• Reliable Science is Based on Validating Theoretical Predictions With Observations, Not Consensus, Peer Review, Government Opinion or Cherry-Picked or Falsified Data
• The Models Predicting Catastrophic Warming and Extreme Weather Fail the Key Scientific Test: They Do Not Work, and Would Never Be Used in Science.
• 600 Million Years of CO₂ and Temperature Data Contradict the Theory That High Levels of CO₂ Will Cause Catastrophic Global Warming.
• Atmospheric CO₂ Is Now “Heavily Saturated,” Which in Physics Means More CO₂ Will Have Little Warming Effect.

• The Theory Extreme Weather is Caused by Fossil Fuels, CO₂ and Other GHGs is Contradicted by the Scientific Method and Thus is Scientifically Invalid
