Greenhouse Gas Reality, Not Fiction

Whaddya know?  The reality of "greenhouse gas" is a very mixed bag; it is not the fictionalized version promoted by the Gas-Grifter (windmills, sun-catchers, inane and horrifically expensive vehicle-exhaust regs) crowd.

The DoE released a significant report, summarized by Kim Strassel.

 ...Department of Energy’s Tuesday report ... knocks down the scientific basis of the supposed threat, by providing a more rounded and up-to-date assessment of the state of climate science….

The study—which its authors say is written “to be accessible to non-experts”—notes that historical data doesn’t back up claims that climate change is increasing the frequency or intensity of hurricanes, tornadoes, flood or droughts. It points out problems with modeling, uncertainties over the extent human activity plays a role, the relatively minimal economic effects of climate change, and the limits of U.S. policy action on global emissions.

Note well:  that report is peer-reviewed.  It's not one of the Lefty snow-jobs.

 ...Here are a few noncontroversial findings from the report—based on peer-reviewed literature from recent years—that might surprise Times readers. Global warming has risks, but also benefits, including greater agricultural productivity. We still don’t know the extent to which human activity plays a role in warming, given natural variability, data limitations, uncertain models and fluctuations in solar activity. Models predicting what is to come remain all over the map. U.S. historical data doesn’t support claims of increased frequency or intensity of extreme weather. Climate change is likely to have little effect on economic growth. U.S. climate policies, even drastic ones, will have negligible effect on global temperatures....

This country's taxpayers have spent uncountable trillions "fighting" climate change--or more honestly, lining the pockets of AlGore, windmill-makers, Red Chinese sun-catcher makers, and a wide variety of scoundrels pushing exhaust controls and electric cars.

It's about time we stop.

The “report” was at the behest of petroleum industry. Special interests gibs, courtesy of Trump. His specialty is gaslighting.

So the entire thing is a fabrication?

Be serious for a change. The other "reports" produced by EPA were--at least--self-dealing, designed to substantially increase the size of EPA and to perpetuate several myths about "change", the most significant of them being that 'we can fix it', along with the other myth that 'there is an ideal global temperature and it was hit in 1969.'

Balderdash.

Yet another lie on your part about the EPA manufacturing “climate change”. But that is no surprise.
