National Academy of Sciences’ Fast-Track Climate Review is a Political End-Run

The central pillar of the “Green New scam” is the claim, no qualifications allowed, that carbon dioxide emissions are harmful. But, of course, a few hundredths of a percent of extra CO2 in the atmosphere isn’t harmful to humans at the individual level. So, activists insist it hurts people indirectly, saying it will create an unlivable world decades or centuries from now, despite having no factual proof to back up their claims.

They’ve cemented this idea not because the science is damning (it isn’t) but by capturing a chain of intermediaries, from major media to well-funded nonprofit organizations, that stand between the research and the public, translating unalarming findings into sweeping political decrees.

The Department of Energy is trying to restore context to decades of one-way alarmism. Many people don’t know, for example, that multiple large studies found cold kills 5-15 times more people than heat, and climate disaster deaths have declined by roughly 98% over the last century as societies became more resilient. And almost no climate debate acknowledges that CO2-emitting machines power the life-saving infrastructure of modernity: storm warnings, refrigeration, hospitals, and vehicles.
