Must Read: New Report Destroys the Climate Narrative

Last week, the Department of Energy issued a report that is a must-read for all receiving this newsletter:

A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate.

Before you go any further, please download the PDF and save it for future use.

The report fully aligns with the CO₂ Coalition's many analyses and was written by five respected scientists: John Christy, David Legates, Steve Koonin, Judith Curry and CO₂ Coalition member Roy Spencer.

DOE Summary of Report

• Reviews scientific certainties and uncertainties in how anthropogenic emissions of CO₂ and other GHGs have affected, or will affect, the nation’s climate, extreme weather events and metrics of societal well-being.
• Assesses the near-term impacts of elevated concentrations of CO₂, including enhanced plant growth and reduced ocean alkalinity.
• Evaluates data and projections regarding long-term impacts of elevated concentrations of CO₂, including estimates of future warming.
• Finds that claims of increased frequency or intensity of hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and droughts are not supported by U.S. historical data.
• Asserts that CO₂-induced warming appears to be less damaging economically than commonly believed, and that aggressive mitigation policies could prove more detrimental than beneficial.
• Finds that U.S. policy actions are expected to have undetectably small direct impacts on the global climate and any effects will emerge only with long delays.

Having had a short victory dance, we are back to work doing what we do, providing the truth about the many benefits of carbon dioxide.

EPA Quotes CO₂ Coalition on Endangerment Finding

An August 1st EPA Press Release featured a statement by executive director Gregory Wrightstone:

For more than 30 years, carbon dioxide has been demonized as a dangerous pollutant by a cabal of special interests who pursued political science instead of true science. Over the past decade, the CO₂ Coalition has rebutted this narrative by educating the public about the beneficial role of the gas in nature and by insisting on rigorous scientific inquiry in deciding such matters. EPA’s proposal today to rescind the regulation of CO₂ for vehicles validates our efforts and those of thousands of scientists and others who stood for the truth. We expect this and other regulatory reforms to end foolish public policy that has wastefully diverted trillions of dollars toward a manufactured climate emergency and away from work that could have otherwise benefited people.

Climate Facts and Fiction

Unless you are a strict consumer of chocolate, you might have been alarmed by reports of climate change threatening the existence of vanilla. The “Climate Fact Check: July 2025 Edition” linked below debunks this and other recent distortions of the truth.
