Andrew Follett There’s no link between the pro-green energy policies of states and falling carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, but there is a statistically significant link between falling CO2 and natural gas electricity, according to statistical analysis conducted by The Daily Caller News Foundation. Statistical analysis and regressions run by TheDCNF found no statistically significant link existed…
By Andrew Follett Environmentalists like to claim that fracking accelerates global warming, but that’s likely not the case, according to numbers crunched in a report published Monday by the pro-industry group Energy In Depth (EID). Environmental claims that America’s hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, boom accelerated global warming due to methane emissions were just blown away, according to a report published…
By Andrew Follett Conservatives should “call the left’s bluff” on global warming by asking why environmentalists oppose using proven technologies like nuclear power or hydraulic fracturing to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, according to an article published Thursday in Forbes. James Taylor points out in the piece that if conservatives pressure the left to accept natural gas and…
Andrew Follett Global warming has really helped the Alaskan moose, according to a study published Wednesday by scientists from the University of Alaska. The research compared historic changes in Alaska’s summer temperatures from 1860 to 2009 to the height of shrubs that are eaten by moose. High carbon dioxide (CO2) levels and an extended summer growing season caused Alaskan plant…
Andrew Follett The European Union is set to emit 2 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) more than it promised the United Nations due to an accounting problem. A note from the European Commission, which The Guardian saw Monday, stated that Europe gave out too many permits for CO2 emissions, which threatened December’s international agreement…
Michael Bastasch The White House’s global warming claims are now being contradicted by the Obama administration’s own scientists. President Barack Obama’s administration has repeated the talking point over the year that man-made global warming has increased the incidence of heavy rainfalls across the U.S., but a new study casts doubt on this assertion. National Oceanic…
Michael Bastasch A new study supports evidence that rising levels of carbon dioxide emissions are making American forests healthier and more resilient. In fact, U.S. forests are likely to get even healthier over the next few decades. “We found that trees are tolerant of rising temperatures and have responded to rising carbon dioxide,” according to…
Andrew Follett Secretary of State John Kerry admitted that reducing carbon dioxide emissions in the U.S. and developed world will not help the environment or even slow down global warming at the United Nations Paris summit Wednesday. “If all the industrial nations went down to zero [carbon dioxide] emissions, it wouldn’t be enough. Not when more…
