Despite being skeptical that
mainstream media would pick up this
breakthrough story, 1609 scientists, including two Nobel laureates,
gathered together to sign a declaration, proclaiming that,
"there is no climate
emergency"...!
The main goal is to end
the mass climate hysteria and the destruction this clamor brings to
the U.S. economy.
"There is no climate
emergency.
Therefore, there is
no cause for panic and alarm. We strongly oppose the harmful and
unrealistic net-zero [carbon dioxide] CO2 policy
proposed for 2050.
Go for adaptation
instead of mitigation; adaptation works whatever the causes
are",
...the document signed by
Nobel prize recipients John F. Clauser from the U.S. and Ivar
Giaever from Norway/U.S. and the others emphasized.
They also note that,
climate science should be less political, while
climate policies should be more scientific.
According to them,
scientists should openly address uncertainties and exaggerations in
the predictions of
global warming, while politicians should
dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined
benefits of their policy measures.
The proclamation also pointed out that Earth is undergoing cold and
warm phases and they are natural phenomena and the gap between the
real and modeled world tells us that we are far from understanding
climate change.
"The geological
archive reveals that Earth's climate has varied as long as the
planet has existed, with natural cold and warm phases.
The Little Ice Age
ended as recently as 1850. Therefore, it is no surprise that we
now are experiencing a period of warming",
...adding that warming is
even far slower than what was predicted on the basis of modeled
anthropogenic or human activity forcing.
Lately, climate alarmists and
globalists are also pushing for CO2
emission reduction, even resorting to measures of taxing animals'
burps and farts just to make sure CO2 is reduced.
However, the scientists
dispelled this narrative.
"CO2 is not a
pollutant. It is essential to all life on Earth. More CO2 is
favorable for nature, greening our planet. Additional CO2 in the
air has promoted growth in global plant biomass.
It is also
profitable for agriculture, increasing the yields of crops
worldwide."
They do not only
exaggerate the effect of greenhouse gases but they also ignore the
fact that enriching the atmosphere with CO2 is beneficial.
In fact, as per the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA), when trees absorb and store CO2 in
their fibers, it helps to clean the air.
According to the Arbor Day
Foundation, a mature tree absorbs more than 48 pounds of CO2 from
the atmosphere in one year and releases oxygen in exchange.
"So,
you'd actually want more trees.
If you actually believe the climate
change narrative, you'd actually think that the solution is to plant
more trees," award-winning investigative reporter Joshua Philipp
pointed out during an episode of EpochTV's "Crossroads."

Additionally, the declaration highlighted how global warming has not
increased natural disasters as there has not been any statistical
evidence that it is intensifying hurricanes, floods, droughts, or
other such natural disasters, or making them more frequent.
Meanwhile, there is ample evidence that CO2
mitigation measures are
as damaging as they are costly...
Politics and MSM distort the true message of "climate change"
Professor Steven Koonin, former Undersecretary for Science at the
U.S. Department of Energy and author of the 2021 bestseller,
"Unsettled
- What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't and Why
It Matters",
...said in his book that what the largely unreadable (for
laymen) and complicated science reports say on climate change is
completely distorted by the time their contents are filtered through
a long line of summary reports of the research by the media and the
politicians.
"There are abundant opportunities to get things wrong
- both
accidentally and on purpose - as the information goes through filter
after filter to be packaged for various audiences...
It's not only
the public that is ill-informed about what the science says about
climate," he said, detailing how the government and UN press
releases do not accurately reflect the reports themselves.
"Distinguished climate experts (including report authors themselves)
are embarrassed by some media portrayals of the science," he further
stated.
During an "Uncommon Knowledge" interview with
Peter Robinson, Koonin
revealed that his colleagues' reactions to his book were that he
should not be telling the public or the politicians the truth about
climate change.
"I was taught that you tell the whole truth [as a scientist]. And
you let the politicians make the value judgments and the
cost-effectiveness trade-offs and so on," Koonin said.
He noted as
well the immorality of asking the developing world to cut down
emissions when so many do not even have access to electricity and
the immorality of scaring the younger generations...:
84 percent of
American teenagers believe, as of January 2022, that if climate
change is not addressed,
"it will be too late for future
generations, making some part of the planet unlivable."
In March, the White House released a report,
"undermining any claims
of an ongoing climate crisis or imminent catastrophe," Koonin wrote
in July.
"The report's authors should be commended for honestly
delivering likely unwelcome messages, even if they didn't make a
show of it.
The rest of the Biden administration and its
climate-activist allies should moderate their apocalyptic rhetoric
and cancel the climate crisis accordingly.
Exaggerating the
magnitude, urgency and certainty of the climate threat encourages
ill-considered policies that could be more disruptive and expensive
than any change in the climate itself."
However, President
Joe Biden continues with his radical policies and
fearmongering.
"I don't think anybody can deny the impact of the
climate crisis anymore," he said, commenting on Hurricane Idalia on
August 30.
"Just look around. Historic floods. I mean, historic
floods. More intense droughts, extreme heat and significant
wildfires have caused significant damage..."
