A new documentary on climate change doesn’t dispute that carbon dioxide has an impact on climate, but it does does question if that impact will produce catastrophic results that justify the $1.1 million cost per American adult to eliminate fossil fuels.
One prominent environmentalist is calling for the end of cars. Another is calling for the end of all mating. One is OK with mating but only with short people. They all appear to believe that humans are a cancer on the planet and some of their views are becoming mainstream.
When activists talk of an energy transition away from fossil fuels to wind and solar, they’re looking at a small subset of the total energy people use. The larger portion is heavy industry. Energy experts say civilization not only depends on heavy industry, it’s virtually impossible to run without fossil fuels.
A conservative think tank sent out copies of a new textbook on climate change this week to teachers in Wyoming. It is raising alarm among those who want children taught that the planet is becoming uninhabitable as a result of climate change.

Cheyenne author, geologist, computer scientist, and environmentalist Tony Heller is a contrarian in national climate circles. He believes that carbon dioxide is not producing any meaningful warming and since CO2 is not a problem, he says we should just keep using fossil fuels.
Tony Heller, a geologist who lives in Cheyenne, is among a growing number of scientists who say that the idea climate change will bring about the apocalypse is not only unsupported by science, it’s harmful to the debate.
With global emissions on the rise, few doubt warming will surpass 1.5 degrees Celsius in the next few years. Is the result Wyoming becoming a wasteland?

That unfortunate result comes from reporters unwilling to make the time and effort to read the report itself, which – at hundreds of pages and still in draft form – makes for an interesting but not-pleasant task.
We see manipulative messaging examples every day. In food production it ranges from the use of terms such as factory-farmed animals or organic products, to the clean meat and meatless burgers (which are neither meat nor burger, and by the same token, just as milk comes from an animal with mammary glands, not nuts or beans).
