Common air pollutants – such as sulfur dioxide, or ozone – reach unsafe levels for humans at just a few micrograms (millionths of a gram) per cubic meter, or just a few parts per billion, far less than the percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere. Thanks to how the greenhouse effect works, a little CO2 can cause a lot of heating.
DOE report written by climate contrarians shares misleading information, misrepresents scientific articles, cherry-picks results to fit a narrative and excludes well-established evidence.
Claim:
Whether all that additional carbon dioxide is a function of human activity, that’s still debatable.
A paper used unusual accounting methods by looking only at gross emissions and omitting CO2 sinks through reforestation; climate scientists explain that this method is misleading. It is like evaluating the status of your bank account based only on your income without looking at your expenses.
Individual vehicle emissions have improved through tighter regulations and better technologies, but vehicle pollution is an ongoing issue that harms human health and worsens climate change.
As the capabilities and adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) continue to grow, so are its energy impacts. Training and ongoing use of AI models requires significant energy due to their use of data centers – one of the most energy-intensive building types.
Summary Studies have shown that cattle farming operations – even ones that are perceived to be ‘better’ like pastured operations…
Claim:
It is not too hot now. Temperatures and CO2 are lower now than they have been throughout nearly the entire history of the Earth.
Claim:
Cow farts [methane emissions from cattle] are blamed for climate change, but there are bigger issues like people burning millions of tires in the deserts of Kuwait.
Claim:
Prioritizing plant-based foods and reducing overconsumption of animal-based protein is healthier and reduces greenhouse gas emissions
