Let’s consider climate change – the world has constantly changed climate and will continue to do so. Even before human civilisation, the world went through ice ages and periods of global warming There will always be changes that affect our climate, even if we close down all thermal-fired power stations, steel mills and other manufacturing operations, putting employees out of work and drastically changing our way of life. Furthermore, there will always be geothermal activity that spew out heat and ash and this activity does affect the climate I am yet to hear scientific evidence to satisfy me that if the very, very small amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (approximately 0.38 per cent) was increased, it could lead to significant global warming I have never met a geologist or leading scientist who believes adding more carbon dioxide to the atmosphere will have any significant effect on climate change, especially not from a relatively small country like Australia.

Because the science firmly and overwhelmingly shows fracking to be safe and not a systemic threat to groundwater – nor does it cause cancer, asthma, or birth defects (as is claimed by the anti-human, environmental Left) – I’ll assume that the Oregon House’s decision to vote for this bill was purely for superstitious reasons. It’s the only logical explanation, because there is no scientific justification for banning an industry that has created billions upon billions of dollars in new wealth and is single-handedly responsible for 63 percent of the drop in U.S. carbon emissions over the past decade, according to the International Energy Agency Never mind that this industry can improve the state’s economy and bring in sorely needed jobs and tax revenue. The ban gives a bunch of clueless tree huggers the willies, so the entire state gets to suffer.

Let me be very clear. First, I believe that the climate is changing. I am not in denial. Second, CO2 is a contributor or ‘forcing function’ for climate change – certainly not the exclusive forcing function, but a major contributor – and it does require an energy strategy in this country and globally to address the long term implications. These two facts, I believe, are scientifically and technically documented and we have an obligation to address them as a society. With that said – what is also clear both scientifically and technically is that the EPA’s CPP is not a plan that will significantly impact global CO2 emissions. It’s not an environmental regulation, it is energy regulation. If the definition of ‘clean’ were the reduction of atmospheric CO2 levels – and that is a naively narrow, incorrect perspective, but if it were – then this CPP is not really clean, because it is neither relevant nor impactful to the environment. | 4_solutions_harmful_unnecessary | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/charles-d-mcconnell/ | en | null | null | 1,802 |

Yeah, well that’s true. […] CO2 plays a role in the rise of temperatures, that was the conclusion which one drew.

WOTUS is not about clean water, as the EPA claimed during its expensive and pervasive advertising campaign,” said White. “WOTUS is about amending the definitions of well understood words into tortured versions of themselves so that the EPA can seize control of dry land where water may flow after heavy rains. This means that if common drainage ditches or the channels between planted rows of crops contribute water flow, regardless of frequency or volume, to a downstream water it would categorically be within EPA’s purview. The average person will be forced to obtain a permit, potentially costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, from the U.S. Corps of Engineers just to erect a fence or put in a driveway.”9 Respect for private property rights is tantamount to protection of individual liberty,” said Henneke. “This preliminary ruling is only the first step towards reversal of the EPA’s unconstitutional regulatory policies. | 0_not_relevant | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/texas-public-policy-foundation/ | en | null | null | 4,659 |

Climate change is real and it’s a serious threat to our citizens, to our economy, to our environment and to our national security,” Manchin said in testimony during a Senate hearing on the climate crisis.2 ater in his opening statement, Manchin emphasized that climate solutions must not present any “additional economic burdens” [A]ll communities, including those in energy producing states like West Virginia, Alaska, are experiencing the harmful impacts of the climate crisis. These impacts are often felt disproportionately in West Virginia communities which are already suffering from the downturn in coal production, resulting unemployment and negative effects of coal company bankruptcies on retirement and health care benefits. Therefore, the path to a climate solution must offer states like West Virginians opportunities, not additional economic burdens,” Manchin said. e added, “The solutions must be grounded in reality, which requires a recognition that fossil fuels aren’t going anywhere anytime soon The role of fossil fuels in the global economy is growing, and the U.S. must lead the world in pursuing the solutions that will allow us to burn fossil fuels in a cleaner, more cost effective and more efficient manner. | 4_solutions_harmful_unnecessary | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/joe-manchin/ | en | null | null | 3,763 |

For decades, conventional wisdom has been that America was in a state of decline. This drumbeat, repeated relentlessly, held that raw-material scarcity and resource consumption would doom America. Costs would inexorably rise and resources would become more scarce. Indeed costs did rise. But the truth is that the political class made it so. President Obama famously sought to reduce American access to natural resources, to massively raise gasoline prices and thereby reduce its use. Last night President Trump highlighted the folly of such thinking. One year of change has brought not only lower gas prices, but the president noted that the United States is now a net exporter of energy. Decades of poor policy tied up the American economic engine in reams of red tape. President Trump highlighted his efforts to free the people and unlock America’s awesome energy potential. The ultimate resource is a free people and we, the people, like it. | 7_fossil_fuels_needed | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/james-wanliss/ | en | null | null | 5,987 |
