The Science and Environmental Coverage Challenge
Quote of the Week: “[W]e examine the results of [a theory’s] computation to nature…[and] examine it immediately with observations, to see if it really works. If it disagrees with experiment, it’s incorrect. In that straightforward assertion is the important thing to science. — Richard Feynman, The Character of Bodily Regulation, 1965 [H/t Happer & Lindzen]
Variety of the Week: $1.3 Trillion a Yr
THIS WEEK:
By Ken Haapala, President, Science and Environmental Coverage Challenge (SEPP)
Scope: The next points might be mentioned following the idea that in bodily science, bodily proof separates science truth from science fiction.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a rare gasoline on this planet. With out it, all inexperienced life would stop. All complicated life, which depends on inexperienced life, would stop. The EPA’s declaration that “the Administrator finds that greenhouse gases within the ambiance might moderately be anticipated each to hazard public well being and to hazard public welfare” is extraordinary. It requires extraordinary bodily proof. The EPA has none. As an alternative, it depends on the opinions of presidency functionaries who’re usually blind to how science works.
In submitting an Amicus Curiae (“buddy of the courtroom.”) transient (written argument), Professors William Happer and Richard Lindzen, and the CO2 Coalition imagine that “the ‘science’ relied upon by the EPA in its Endangerment Findings is significantly flawed and never actually scientific.”
Final week, TWTW mentioned a lecture by Professor Wyss Yim of Hong Kong College stating that there are two distinctively completely different occasions categorized as El Niños, one incorrectly. Conventional El Niños happen when regular circumstances within the Pacific change. In contrast, a Heat Pool El Niño happens when a pool of heat water seems within the oceans, be it Pacific, Atlantic, or different. These apparently random occasions are the results of submarine volcanoes and should have a major influence on international climate. Because of fashionable satellite tv for pc instrumentation, these occasions will be tracked. This week AAAS Science revealed a paper stating that “January 2022 eruption of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano reached the mesosphere”, one of many submarine volcanoes mentioned by Professor Yim.
Craig Idso has an essay on the hazards of decreasing CO2 emissions, one thing which authorities entities and their supporters don’t think about when calculating the supposed dangerous results of CO2 emissions.
The 27th annual convention to “save the planet” from lifegiving CO2 will begin subsequent week (COP 27). There’s a typical outpouring of far-fetched research on far-fetched harms.
**********************
Authorities Endangerment Discovering: Professors Happer and Lindzen and the CO2 Coalition assert:
“that the denial to rethink the Endangerment Findings is and not using a legitimate scientific foundation, arbitrary, and capricious. For a number of many years, Amici have studied the science and proof purportedly underpinning the Endangerment Findings and are specialists within the fields of physics and atmospheric sciences from which the EPA’s proof is drawn.” (p 1)
Chosen quotes making use of to the scientific technique are cited beneath. The web page numbers apply to the web page within the precise doc, not the recorded web page. For instance, p 1 turns into web page 11 of 47 within the recorded doc. The citations aren’t given beneath.
“INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT
The CO2 Coalition is a non-profit company comprised of greater than 100 scientists, engineers, and power specialists, publishing on varied facets of local weather change and associated fields.
Professors Happer and Lindzen are profession physicists who, for many years, have specialised in making use of the scientific technique to radiation physics and dynamic warmth switch.
Scientific information is decided by the scientific technique, by way of which theoretical predictions are validated or rejected by observations. If the theoretical predictions don’t work, the speculation is rejected. That’s actual science. [Boldface added]
Scientific information isn’t decided by government-controlled opinions, consensus, peer assessment, or theoretical fashions that don’t work. These are false science. This transient applies the scientific technique to the Endangerment Findings and its supporting Technical Help Doc and demonstrates each are scientifically corrupted and thus should be rescinded for the next causes.
• IPCC Authorities-Managed Opinions. The Endangerment Findings and the Technical Help Doc extensively depend on Intergovernmental Panel on Local weather Change (“IPCC”) assessments as a “major scientific and technical foundation” for the Findings. The IPCC is authorities managed and thus points solely authorities opinions, not actual science as the image beneath—of presidency representatives figuring out content material at IPCC’s Abstract for Policymakers’ writing assembly—reveals.[Picture not shown here}
This is not how scientific knowledge is determined. Governments do not determine scientific knowledge; the scientific method does. [Boldface added]
The risks of governmentally decided science have been tragically demonstrated a couple of century in the past when Stalin appointed Trofim Lysenko because the czar of Russian agricultural science within the former Soviet Union. Lysenko suppressed the scientific technique and dictated as an alternative that his agricultural theories be used. Lysenko’s government-dictated theories led to famine and hundreds of thousands of deaths by way of hunger and illness. It’s a poignant reminder that the IPCC’s government-dictated ‘science’ should not be used within the Endangerment Findings and Technical Help Doc.
• IPCC Theoretical Fashions Don’t Work. Each the Endangerment Findings and the Technical Help Doc must be withdrawn as a result of they basically depend on IPCC theoretical fashions that predict catastrophic warming until fossil gas CO2 is eradicated. The IPCC local weather fashions then and most lately have been confirmed conclusively by observations to fail by over-predicting warming. Due to this fact, they should be rejected and never used. See, infra, § IV.
• Peer Overview and Consensus. Each the Endangerment Findings and Technical Help Doc use peer assessment and consensus extensively, which, as famous, doesn’t decide actual science.
• Censorship of the Contradicting Actual Science. Through the use of “the scientific assessments of the IPCC, USGCRP, and the NRC” as “greatest reference” for science, 74 Fed. Reg. 66,511, the EPA inadvertently admits it censored the overwhelming proof from actual science that demonstrates there is no such thing as a hazard that fossil gas CO2 will trigger catastrophic international warming. See, e.g., infra, § V.
• The Endangerment Findings and Technical Help Doc are Driving Disastrous Penalties. Opposite to frequent reporting, CO2 is crucial to life by producing meals by way of photosynthesis. Rising CO2 within the ambiance by burning fossil fuels will produce extra meals for individuals worldwide. Elimination of fossil fuels in response to the Endangerment Findings might be doubly disastrous by decreasing the quantity of meals out there to individuals worldwide and eliminating the main supply of low-cost power.
Thus, actual science requires that each one the false science be faraway from the Endangerment Findings and Technical Help Doc. This requires deleting all of the government-dictated IPCC materials, all IPCC theoretical local weather fashions and eventualities, and all citations to consensus. Consequently, the Endangerment Findings and Technical Help Doc might be with out ample required actual scientific assist.
Accordingly, it’s Amici’s scientific opinion that the Endangerment Findings and Technical Help Doc are based mostly, partially, on authorities dictated materials and should be withdrawn earlier than they trigger extra disastrous discount within the meals provide worldwide and the tip of reasonably priced and dependable fossil gas power for individuals worldwide, future generations, and the US.” (pp 7 to 11)
TWTW helps the view of Professors Happer and Lindzen that the Endangerment Discovering endangers the integrity of American bodily science itself, changing bodily proof with government-controlled groupthink. The transient continues:
“ARGUMENT I. THE ENDANGERMENT FINDINGS AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT DOCUMENT ARE NOT BASED ON THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD
Based on the Endangerment Findings, ‘the Administrator finds that greenhouse gases within the ambiance might moderately be anticipated each to hazard public well being and to hazard public welfare.’ 74 Fed. Reg. 66,497.
Authorities-Managed Opinions. The Administrator emphasised that three authorities organizations have been the ‘major scientific foundation for the Findings:
The most important assessments by the U.S. World Local weather Analysis Program (USGCRP), the Intergovernmental Panel on Local weather Change (IPCC), and the Nationwide Analysis Council (NRC) function the first scientific foundation supporting the Administrator’s endangerment discovering.
The Technical Help Doc…summarizes scientific findings from the main assessments of the USGCRP, the IPCC, and the NRC accompanies these Findings.
‘It’s EPA’s view that the scientific assessments of the IPCC, USGRCP, and the NRC signify the perfect reference supplies for figuring out the overall state of data on the scientific and 4 74 Fed. Reg. 66,497’ (footnote omitted). 5 Id. at 66,510. technical points earlier than the company in making an endangerment choice.
Unintentionally, the Administrator made clear she selected to make use of government-determined opinions as ‘science,’ moderately than scientific information decided by the scientific technique: [Boldface added]
‘The USGCRP, IPCC, and NRC assessments have been reviewed and formally accepted by, commissioned by, or in some instances authored by U.S. authorities businesses and particular person authorities scientists. These experiences already replicate vital enter from EPA’s scientists and the scientists of many different authorities businesses.’
Id. at 66,511 (emphasis added).
Of the three, IPCC opinions are the dominant supply of purported ‘science’ underlying the Endangerment Findings and Technical Help Doc, and certainly all ‘Web Zero’ insurance policies to remove fossil gas CO2 emissions within the U.S. and worldwide.
Nevertheless, opposite to the vigorous assertions by the IPCC that it gives the perfect local weather science on the earth, the IPCC is government-controlled and, subsequently, the IPCC’s Summaries for Policymakers and evaluation experiences are authorities dictated opinions with little scientific worth, all of which is elaborated on in part III. 6 Id. at 66,511 [Boldface added]
Theoretical Fashions Don’t Work. As famous, the Endangerment Findings and Technical Help Doc basically depend on IPCC theoretical fashions that predict catastrophic international warming until fossil gas CO2 is eradicated. The IPCC local weather fashions utilized in assist of the Endangerment Findings proven beneath are essentially the most dominant fashions used to assist the argument that fossil gas CO2 should be eradicated and lowered to ‘Web Zero’ to keep away from catastrophic international warming. Particularly, the Endangerment Findings assert: ‘Based on local weather mannequin simulations summarized by the IPCC…[b]y the tip of the century, projected common international warming… [will range] from 1.8 to 4.0 °C (3.2 to 7.2 °F).’ 74 Fed. Reg. 66,519. The Technical Help Doc equally depends on IPCC theoretical local weather mannequin predictions to say that by the tip of the century there might be ‘a warming vary of three.2°F to 7.2°F.’” (pp 11 to 13)
The transient then demonstrates the wild mannequin outcomes which are meaningless as a result of the fashions aren’t examined in opposition to bodily proof. The transient has a piece on “Actual Science” which is decided by validating theoretical predictions with observations: “False Science” is decided by consensus, peer assessment, authorities opinion, fabricated information or fashions that don’t work. One other part is titled “The IPCC is government-controlled and thus solely points authorities opinions, not actual science.”
The fourth part is titled “The IPCC theoretical fashions don’t work and thus below primary scientific technique should not be used.” One other part is titled “Censored Actual science proves fossil gas CO2 won’t trigger catastrophic international warming.” This part consists of graphs of 600 million years of atmospheric CO2 and temperature information and an element titled Atmospheric CO2 is now “closely saturated,” which in physics means extra CO2 can have little warming impact.
The part earlier than the transient conclusion is titled “The Endangerment Findings and Technical Help Doc assist of ‘Web Zero’ fossil gas CO2 insurance policies will disastrously cut back meals worldwide and remove fossil fuels, the main supply of low-cost power for the US and folks worldwide.”
This transient is the best, well-articulated, sensible summation of the false science that went into the disastrous Endangerment Discovering that TWTW has seen. The implications of this ideological choice embody the perversion of American bodily science. All involved readers and all residents are inspired to learn it. See hyperlink below Difficult the Orthodoxy.

Unprecedented Remark: On January 15, 2022, the submarine volcano with some islands, Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai, erupted forcefully. Its estimated Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) is six, just like the land-based Mount Pinatubo in 1991. Because of fashionable satellite tv for pc instrumentation the volcanic plume was measured to succeed in an altitude of 57 km (35 miles). It despatched atmospheric shock waves, sonic booms, and tsunami waves world wide. NASA Goddard posted:
“Analyzing information from NASA’s Ionospheric Connection Explorer, or ICON, mission and ESA’s (the European Area Company) Swarm satellites, scientists discovered that within the hours after the eruption, hurricane-speed winds and strange electrical currents fashioned within the ionosphere – Earth’s electrified higher atmospheric layer on the fringe of house.”
NASA JPL posted:
“The underwater eruption within the South Pacific Ocean additionally blasted an unlimited plume of water vapor into Earth’s stratosphere – sufficient to fill greater than 58,000 Olympic-size swimming swimming pools. The sheer quantity of water vapor might be sufficient to quickly have an effect on Earth’s international common temperature.”
The article linked beneath acknowledged:
“‘We’ve by no means seen something prefer it,’ stated Luis Millán, an atmospheric scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. He led a brand new examine analyzing the quantity of water vapor that the Tonga volcano injected into the stratosphere, the layer of the ambiance between about 8 and 33 miles (12 and 53 kilometers) above Earth’s floor.
“Within the examine, revealed in Geophysical Analysis Letters, Millán and his colleagues estimate that the Tonga eruption despatched round 146 teragrams (1 teragram equals a trillion grams) of water vapor into Earth’s stratosphere – equal to 10% of the water already current in that atmospheric layer. That’s practically 4 instances the quantity of water vapor that scientists estimate the 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption within the Philippines lofted into the stratosphere.” [A teragram is about 1.1 US tons].
Based on the plain language abstract of the article:
“Not like earlier sturdy eruptions, this occasion might not cool the floor, however moderately it might probably heat the floor as a result of extra water vapor.”
Some years in the past, Joe D’Aleo and Joe Bastardi (now with WeatherBell Analytics) individually recognized heat spots within the oceans, referred to as heat pool La Niños by Professor Yim. They’re created by underseas (submarine) volcanoes. Final week on his Saturday Abstract, Bastardi spent 20 minutes presenting an array of charts supporting his claims that these eruptions are inflicting a warming of the ambiance significantly over the Arctic. They happen earlier than the peaks proven in atmospheric temperature developments proven over the previous ten years. (Earlier than then, detailed ocean temperature measurements didn’t exist.) The water vapor from the January volcanic eruption might trigger one other peak in atmospheric temperature developments in late 2022 and 2023.

City Warmth Island Impact: The surface-air temperature information utilized by the IPCC and its followers has a infamous defect in that it’s not adjusted for urbanization that’s occurring worldwide. The City Warmth Island impact displays the warming brought on by changing greenery with pavement and utilizing drainage to remove moist areas. Roy Spencer presents a starting of what’s wanted to regulate the floor information. Within the overview he states:
“A comparatively new international dataset of urbanization adjustments over the 40-year interval 1975-2014 based mostly upon Landsat information is used to find out the typical impact urbanization has had on floor temperatures. A way is offered to compute the magnitude of the City Warmth Island (UHI) impact on temperatures utilizing the instance of summertime 09 UTC (early morning) Built-in Floor Database (ISD) hourly information (principally from airports) over the interval 1973-2022 by evaluating urbanization variations to temperature variations from closely-spaced climate stations. The outcomes for the jap U.S. result in a 50-year warming pattern 50% lower than that from the official NOAA homogenized floor temperature dataset. It’s seemingly that the daytime reductions in temperature developments might be much less dramatic.” [Boldface added]
Spencer describes his effort and concludes, partially:
“The urbanization impact on floor temperature developments for August at 09 UTC (close to the time of day by day minimal temperature) leads to a 50% discount in these developments over the past 50 years. From some preliminary seems I’ve had on the information from different months and instances of day I’d say this may seemingly be the higher restrict of de-urbanization changes. So, it’s seemingly that developments in daytime temperature close to the time of the day by day most won’t be lowered practically as a lot as 50%.
“However given the truth that all CMIP6 local weather fashions produce U.S. summer season temperature developments larger than the NOAA observations means the discrepancy between local weather fashions and observations is even bigger than at present suspected by many people. John Christy and I imagine it’s time for a brand new floor temperature dataset, and the methodology outlined above seems like a viable method to that finish.” [Boldface added]
Certainly, it’s previous time to take away this travesty of bodily science. See hyperlink below Difficult the Orthodoxy.

Advantages of CO2: Over time, Craig Idso of CO2 Science has written in regards to the advantages of CO2 fertilization of vegetation. Writing for Grasp Useful resource, he addresses a special subject – the hurt that may happen by decreasing CO2. For this he cites an experiment of plant bulbs that have been a significant supply of carbohydrates for people 75 thousand to 125 thousand years in the past. Vegetation grown below lowered CO2, together with the IPCC’s declare of pre-industrial CO2 of a focus of 280 elements per million (ppm), did poorly in contrast with a focus of 390 ppm. At the moment’s focus is about 420 ppm. So, the packages to cut back atmospheric CO2 might actually endanger human well being and welfare. See hyperlink below Difficult the Orthodoxy.
**********************
Saving the Planet: The drumbeat to avoid wasting the planet is intensifying and all of the IPCC followers are lining up. The Lancet produced presumably the worst of well being research. It emphasised the deaths as a consequence of warmth. Nevertheless, it ignored that many of the populated world experiences a winter, and extra individuals die of publicity to chilly than warmth. However in saving the world, there may be apparently no purpose to grasp the world. See hyperlink below Defending the Orthodoxy and Article # 1

Paul Homewood reveals that in line with the Wall Avenue Journal, China, India, and different growing nations going to COP 27, search $1.3 Trillion a 12 months for the supposed harm that carbon dioxide emissions have prompted and to construct various power initiatives. Because the UN IPCC experiences of dangerous CO2 emissions are a counterfeit bodily science, will the UN pay them in in counterfeit cash? See hyperlink below Funding Points.

1. Local weather Change and the Lancet’s ‘Warmth Loss of life’ Deception
With COP27 approaching, the journal claims rising temperatures have killed individuals however ignores that they seem to have saved way more.

TWTW Abstract: The President of the Copenhagen Consensus writes:
“Because the United Nations’ annual international local weather summit, COP27, nears, it’s vital to look with skepticism on the tutorial experiences many information retailers cite as proof supporting radical local weather insurance policies. Too typically, they use extremely skewed information that appear to have been fastidiously chosen to assist aggressive environmental rules. One latest and much-cited Lancet report seems intentionally misleading.
The examine presents a daunting statistic: Quickly rising temperatures have elevated annual international warmth deaths amongst older individuals by 68% in lower than twenty years. That stark determine has been cited throughout, from the BBC and Time to the Washington Put up and the Instances of India, the world’s largest-selling English-language day by day. U.N. Secretary-Basic António Guterres publicized the report, tweeting a hyperlink with a grave assertion of his personal, ‘The local weather disaster is killing us. #COP27 should ship a down-payment on local weather options that match the size of the issue.’
However whereas their mannequin for warmth deaths is predicated on stable tutorial analysis, the report commits an novice statistical fallacy by blaming the rise in warmth deaths on ‘quickly growing temperatures.’
Annual warmth deaths have elevated considerably amongst individuals 65 and older world-wide. The common deaths per 12 months elevated 68% from the early 2000s to the late 2010s. However that’s nearly completely as a result of there are such a lot of extra older individuals at present than there have been 20 years in the past, in no small half due to medical improvements that preserve us alive longer. Measured throughout the identical time span the Lancet maps warmth deaths, the variety of individuals 65 and older has risen by 60%, or nearly as a lot as warmth deaths. When the rise in warmth mortality is adjusted for this inhabitants progress, the precise rise that may be attributed to rising temperatures is simply 5%.
It’s onerous to not see the Lancet examine’s failure to regulate this determine as a deliberate act of deception. Any tutorial who works with statistics would know to regulate the deaths to account for inhabitants progress. I’ve really raised this subject to the Lancet earlier than.”
Lomborg particulars his prior correction that The Lancelet ignored, then writes:
“This 12 months’s examine additionally cherry-picks information by discussing solely warmth deaths. All over the world, way more individuals die every year from chilly than warmth. Within the U.S. and Canada between 2000 and 2019, a median of 20,000 individuals died from warmth yearly and greater than 170,000 from chilly. This omission issues much more as a result of chilly deaths are reducing with rising temperatures. Modeling from the World Burden of Illness replicates the comparatively small enhance in warmth deaths proven by the Lancet, however reveals a a lot bigger decline in chilly deaths from rising temperatures. Primarily based on at present’s inhabitants dimension, the present temperatures trigger about 17,000 extra warmth deaths in older individuals, but additionally lead to greater than half 1,000,000 fewer chilly deaths. Reporting one discovering with out the opposite is deceptive in regards to the true impact of local weather change.
“This dishonesty results in worse coverage outcomes. Whereas activists push for excessive and costly local weather insurance policies that threaten financial progress, these aren’t the one and even the perfect methods to assist. Temperatures rose all through the twentieth century, however the U.S. nonetheless noticed a lower in warmth deaths, largely due to air-conditioning. Insurance policies that target lifting individuals out of poverty and offering reasonably priced, dependable sources of power would permit the remainder of the world to scale back warmth deaths and dwell extra snug lives. They’d additionally assist stave off the a lot larger menace of chilly deaths.”
