Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant; on the contrary, it helps crops grow faster and nourishes plants and trees, which in turn produce oxygen for us to breathe. Carbon dioxide is plant food! Someday the world will look back and laugh when people finally understand that the pursuit of economic sacrifice in the name of saving the planet from increasing carbon dioxide was, in fact, misguided.
Temperatures have fluctuated over the past 5,000 years, and some argue that today’s global temperature remains within historical variability. A modest amount of warming, should it occur, could be beneficial to certain regions of the world. During the Medieval Warm Period (approximately 800 to 1200 AD), when temperatures in some regions were reportedly warmer than today, there was notable human prosperity, and Greenland supported settlements consistent with its name. Contrary to claims that polar bears are on the brink of extinction today due to global warming, their global population has increased from an estimated 5,000 in the 1960s to more than 25,000 today.
The idea that America could run entirely on solar, wind and biofuels energy is unrealistic. A natural gas-fired power plant may occupy roughly 15 acres, while large-scale wind installations can span tens of thousands of acres. Wind turbines, often reaching 300 feet or more, alter landscapes and have been associated with bird mortality, while producing intermittent electricity. Assertions by figures such as Al Gore and other progressives that alternative energy sources alone can provide continuous, economical and reliable power are detached from practical reality. The Green New Deal is an example of excessive environmental intervention.
When it is claimed that a consensus of scientists agrees on climate change—a position associated with advocates such as Al Gore—skeptics argue that such appeals to consensus should be examined carefully. Science evolves continually and is not “settled” in the absolute sense.
Once the progressive principle is accepted that carbon dioxide emissions must be monitored, regulated and taxed, then this opens the door to extensive bureaucratic oversight. Regulations affect personal choices, including choices of vehicles driven, travel destinations, recreational boating, and even the carbon footprint associated with food purchases, creating a regulatory maze.
Misguided attempts to reduce carbon emissions cause more economic harm than the projected effects of climate change itself. Weather forecasts are often unreliable beyond a week, yet policymakers are urged to restructure the global economy based on climate projections decades into the future—projections that remain uncertain.
Although public opinion polls often rank climate change as a lower economic priority compared to immediate concerns, major legacy media outlets continue to emphasize alarming forecasts. While the most extreme environmental activists may be relatively few, critics contend they have gained influence by persuading individuals who believe urgent planetary intervention is necessary.
Readers should not to accept apocalyptic narratives uncritically, given that financial incentives—including government grants and foundation funding - - motivates most progressive advocacy. Climate policy is intertwined with broader ideological agendas in the United States and internationally.
