Study: If You Want To Go Green, Stick With Fossil Fuels

September 21, 2022 by PA Pundits - International

By Bonner Cohen, Ph.D. ~ “Contrary to the claims of proponents of the Green New Deal and Net Zero, fossil fuels are the greenest fuels. First, uniquely among energy sources, fossil fuel use emits CO2, which is the ultimate source of the elemental building block, carbon, found in all carbon-based life, i.e., almost all life […]

CO2 Important For Human Health: Who Knew? Scientists – Part Two

June 28, 2022 by PA Pundits - International

By Dr. Jay Lehr ~ I believe this topic is so important that I will make it a bit personal at least anecdotally from my experience. I am sure exceptional health which has followed me for 85 years till the China virus interfered for a few weeks, has been the result of a great deal […]

Oxygen is carried through our body by the hemoglobin in our red blood cells. Bohr discovered carbon dioxide acts as a a catalyst for hemoglobin to release its oxygen for […]

Why We Eat And Breathe

May 23, 2022 by PA Pundits - International

By David Wojick, Ph.D. ~ Spring and summer is the time of growth, with blossoms everywhere we look. Leaves and fruit on the trees, grass in the yard and pastures, vegetables in the garden, crops in the field. Did you know that all of this lush abundance is almost entirely composed of just two things? […]

Farming The Air

February 13, 2022 by PA Pundits - International

By David Wojick, Ph.D. ~ You are built almost entirely out of carbon dioxide and water. So is all the food you eat. Likewise for all the energy you use moving about and staying alive. Carbon dioxide and water! In short the carbon dioxide in the air is the global food supply. This is why […]

Could CO2 Actually Cause Slight Beneficial Warming?

December 5, 2020 by PA Pundits - International

By David Wojick, Ph.D. ~ Precision research by physicists William Happer and Willem van Wijngaarden has determined that the current levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide and water vapor are “saturated.” In radiation physics that means adding more CO2 or water molecules will bring modest warming that will benefit plant growth, and thus all life on […]

Weaknesses Of Wind And Solar: When Science And Reality Clash – Part 3

May 31, 2020 by PA Pundits - International

By Dr. Jay Lehr and Terigi Ciccone ~ In Parts One and Two of this Series, we established the Ciccone/Lehr Rule of Thumb which states that All Wind and Solar Power must be backed up with an equal or greater amount of Fossil Fuel Power running on standby 100% of the time. In this concluding segment, we […]

‘CO2 Levels’ And Your ‘Carbon Footprint’ – NOT The Problem You’ve Been Told

May 29, 2020 by PA Pundits - International

By Dan Nebert ~ Last year a student at a nearby university complained she couldn’t focus in class; she was convinced high levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) were the cause. The entire building was immediately evacuated and tested for “toxic levels of this dangerous gas.” After determining the CO2 levels were less than 500 parts-per-million […]

Common Sense Musings On The Climate Debate

October 14, 2019 by PA Pundits - International

By Dr. Jay Lehr ~ Scientists on both sides of the climate debate agree; Fossil fuel use puts C02 (Carbon Dioxide) into the atmosphere. Plants need C02 to survive. C02 is a greenhouse gas. Water vapor (clouds) is the largest greenhouse gas, by far. C02 levels in the atmosphere have increased and are higher than […]

It’s Time To Whack Obama’s Greenhouse Gas “Endangerment Finding”

August 31, 2019 by PA Pundits - International

By Dr. Jay Lehr and Tom Harris ~ On August 6, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce filed a motion with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit (Washington) that it be granted intervenor status concerning litigation launched by environmental groups against the Trump administration’s new Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule. The case in […]

Debunked: CO2 Will Not Cause A Food Shortage

June 6, 2019 by PA Pundits - International

By Larry Bell ~ A lead May 14 article posted by Sonya Collins in WebMD, “Will Climate Change Cause Food Sources to Dwindle?” suffers from very poor planet, plant and people health diagnostics. Key claims of the medically-muddled meme are that human carbon dioxide emissions are causing more frequent severe weather conditions to occur (which […]

‘Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment’

May 18, 2019 by PA Pundits - International

Joe Bastardi ~ Apparently, the new strategy to fight climate change is shock therapy. It’s like today’s environmental crusaders are channeling the Ramones song “Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment.” Here are some illustrations. Example #1: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said she was only kidding around when she made a big deal about the world ending […]

Feel Free To Exhale

May 15, 2019 by PA Pundits - International

By Craig Rucker ~ Global warming campaigners aren’t very good at being green. There’s their bird and bat chopping wind turbines, lifeless fields covered over by solar panel silicone, and generating electricity by grinding trees into pellets and burning them as “renewable” biomass. Then there’s their demonization of CO2, the gas you just exhaled. CO2 […]

Media Attacks. CFACT Rebuts. Media Retreats.

May 10, 2019 by PA Pundits - International

By Craig Rucker ~ Marc Morano, over at CFACT’s Climate Depot, has been busy fighting the good fight of climate realism on various media fronts. These include recent television appearances on Fox News, Newsmax TV, and The Sean Hannity Show, among others. His powerful presentation of common sense and logic, of course, has not gone unnoticed by […]

Rising CO2 Levels Boost Agricultural Productivity, Human Health

May 9, 2019 by PA Pundits - International

By Bonner Cohen, Ph.D. ~ A constant refrain of climate alarmists and “clean-energy” business eager to cash in on the scare is that the use of fossil fuels to create energy is endangering the climate by overloading the atmosphere with manmade greenhouse gases. This, we are told, is responsible for rising sea levels, floods, droughts, […]

Carbon Is Not A Synonym For Carbon Dioxide

April 26, 2019 by PA Pundits - International

By Dr. Jay Lehr ~ From the very day that Al Gore signed his name to the well known book, An Inconvenient Truth, the general population was told that carbon emissions were going to destroy our planet. Gore, more or less, coined the term “carbon footprint” (while always hiding the enormity of his own footprint). […]

Perspective Needed in Climate Debate

March 9, 2019 by PA Pundits - International

Joe Bastardi ~ I went to school with a lot of great forecasters. One of them was Scott Chesner, who is an on-air meteorologist in Tyler, Texas. Scott tweeted something this week that I thought was quite profound regarding the current generation’s “consensus” on climate: “One problem with global warming hysteria is ‘perspective.’ […]

Two CO2 Climate Change Myths

March 14, 2018 by PA Pundits - International

By David Wojick, Ph.D. ~ CO2 does not “trap heat” in the atmosphere and the increase in CO2 is not a buildup of our emissions. In fact these are two pseudoscientific myths that appear frequently in alarmist press reports and teaching materials. Neither one is true. The science is quite different. It is actually pretty […]

EPA Ponders Regulating CO2

December 27, 2017 by PA Pundits - International

By David Wojick, Ph.D. ~ The second shoe has dropped in EPA’s wondering about how to regulate CO2 emissions from power plants. As the shoe dropping metaphor suggests, EPA can now go to sleep for awhile. Everyone else is going to be very busy commenting on this complex issue. The first shoe dropped in October when […]

Ignorance, Intolerance, Violence

May 1, 2017 by PA Pundits - International

Using junk science marches, ignorant professors, resistance and violence to drive public policy By Paul Driessen ~ Recent science and climate marches demonstrated how misinformed, indoctrinated, politicized, and anti-Trump these activists are – and how indifferent about condemning millions in industrialized nations and billions in developing countries to green energy poverty. Amid it all, University […]

Prof At The Nation: CO2 ‘A Far More Deadly Gas’ In Syria Than Assad’s Chemical Weapons

April 24, 2017 by PA Pundits - International

By Tom Blumer ~ On the day after Earth Day’s “March for Science,” it seems appropriate to point to a column by University of Michigan History Professor Juan Cole in The Nation, a far-far-left publication considered a credible and authoritative go-to-source by the liberal intelligentsia. On April 18, Cole, echoing statements made during their final years […]

Will Climate Alarmism Abate As Disaster Fails To Materialize?

March 22, 2017 by PA Pundits - International

It is time for dirty science to clean up its own act By Larry Bell ~ Let’s finally clean the air on hysterical claims that switching from CO2-emitting fossil fuels to anemic and intermittent so-called “renewable” energy sources will quell rising tides of despair for polar bears. And while we’re at it, let’s recognize that […]

Group Defends Carbon Dioxide As ‘Elixir Of Life’ In Climate Change Debate

February 26, 2017 by PA Pundits - International

By Kevin Mooney ~ Forget everything government officials, many media outlets, and “activist scientists” have warned about the damaging effects of carbon dioxide, because in reality there’s no cause for alarm, a group called the CO2 Coalition urges. Scientists, engineers, and policy analysts who are part of the nonprofit organization turned out in force Friday […]

Why The Media’s Portrayal Of Carbon Dioxide Is Often Wrong

September 7, 2016 by PA Pundits - International

By Nicolas Loris ~ The media is helping governments wage an all-out war on carbon dioxide while distorting the truth about the colorless gas. This blitz could come with considerable costs for Americans with negligible benefits, at most. Over the weekend, the United States officially joined the Paris Protocol to combat manmade global warming while President […]
