The revelation this week that CO2 had just reached 410 ppm is just the most recent negative climate “tipping point” being reached. This news was accompanied by the usual links to future apocalyptic warming events and predictions of the Earth spiraling into planetary doom. According to the self-proclaimed guardians of the Earth, we need to enact strict regulations and taxes to reduce our use of fossil fuels to forestall these predicted harmful events that are occurring due to our “sins of emission.”

Yet the proposed solutions to this theoretical man-made warming, such as the Paris Climate Accord, are necessarily economically harmful to the developed nations while increasing energy costs for all. Full enactment represents a great transfer of wealth from the “haves” to the “have nots.” According to Bjorn Lomborg, economist from the University of Copenhagen, the Paris Accord would strip $1.5 trillion per year from the economies of the world yet forestall less than one third of a degree Fahrenheit in warming by the year 2100.

The facts belie the “heated” rhetoric and apocalyptic visions forecast by supporters of human-driven catastrophic warming. We find that the predictions of doom are just that – predictions and speculation based on climate models that don’t model climate very well at all. According to 2016 congressional testimony, Alabama State climatologist Dr. John Christy’s comparison of 100 climate model runs used to support the Paris Accord over-predicted warming in the tropics by 2.5 times and up to 3 times too much in the tropics.
