Introduction Human health, morbidity, mortality and longevity are significantly impacted by climate. This review examines the evidence for past, present and possible future health impacts of climate change on disease and disease vectors, on extreme weather events, floods, droughts, heatwaves and wildfires, on food and famine, and on social and mental health. It will also...

Wind and Solar are Competitive with Fossil Fuels only in Subsidized Price, Not in True Cost
Wind and Solar are Competitive with Fossil Fuels only in Subsidized Price, Not in True Cost A CO2 Coalition Review of a Media Claim In a new Science & Policy Brief, economist Bruce Everett tackles a vital question in determining America’s energy future: are “renewable” forms of energy truly competitive with traditional fossil fuels? Says…
The President, not the New York Times, Is Right on the Social Cost of Carbon August 5, 2020 A CO2 Coalition Review of a Media Claim Energy economist Dr. Bruce Everett says in a new Science and Policy Brief: The Social Cost of Carbon (SCC) is an estimate of the present value of the future…

Do Government Policies Favoring Fossil Fuels Hamper the Development of Wind and Solar Power?
By Bruce Everett Ph.D. Executive Summary A number of studies claim that pervasive subsidies provide an unfair competitive advantage to fossil fuels over renewable energy. Many estimates have been made of the value of direct and indirect subsidies provided to fossil fuels, the most extreme being the 2015 study by the International Monetary Fund estimating...
Hyperpartisan “Fact-checkers” Appear to Find a Video Loophole in the 2019 Policy Change of Not Blocking Opinion Pieces The CO2 Coalition of climate scientists today published a Science & Policy Brief by Dr. Patrick Michaels, formerly the president of the association of state climatologists and an expert reviewer and author for the UN’s climate change…
The CO2 Coalition of climate scientists today released a White Paper analyzing decades of peer-reviewed research on the impact on the oceans of carbon dioxide emissions from the conversion of fossil fuels to energy. Ocean Health – Is there an “Acidification” problem? concludes that CO2 is an important plankton food that enriches sea life, and that the term “ocean acidification” is highly misleading....

Equal Warming, 1900 to 1950 versus 1950 to 2018: Why the UN Knows the First Half was Natural (2020 April)
Mathematics and Statistics Professor Caleb Stewart Rossiter Helps You “Do the Math” of Logarithms CO2 has a logarithmic effect on temperature. Using log math, CO2 levels from 1950 to 2018 have 5.23 times the impact of levels from 1900 to 1950. That means there was no measurable warming from industrial CO2 emissions in the earlier…
The CO2 Coalition presents a new publication series, Science & Policy Briefs, which summarizes issues that are addressed in more detail in our White Papers and Climate Issues in Depth papers. The first in this series, 5 Ways to Reduce Wildfire Risk in California, was written by Jim Steele and Genesis Torres. Mr. Steele is…
The Social Cost of Carbon and Carbon Taxes – Pick a number, any number From the Executive Summary Leaving aside its scientific and economic uncertainties, the government’s Social Cost of Carbon is so sensitive to input assumptions that small, quite reasonable variations can produce almost any price you wish. As a result it is not…
Plant production has been boosted, the need for water and fertilizer has been brought down, and field experiments show that these effects are likely to increase in coming decades....

Does the World Need Climate Insurance? The Best Scientific and Economic Evidence Says NO
The present white paper is the first in a new ongoing series of special studies examining how CO2 helps our world now and in the future. This analysis considers a major question raised by many people: “If there is uncertainty about the impacts of more CO2 in the atmosphere, shouldn’t we buy insurance?”...

BY KEN WILSON, P.ENG. (RET), JAN. 10, 2023 IPCC vs. The Facts: The Case for Climate Realism (pdf) From the Executive Summary: A key assumption driving the computer models in Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) studies is that rising CO2 levels from the burning of fossil fuels produces a strong positive feedback response from…
