It is clearer that the climate is changing, and I am open to the claim that it is changing in a calamitous direction, but I am not certain. Many of the press releases are drawn from very limited studies relating a few variables. In isolation, they create a compelling argument for outcomes that would harm human beings. But given that there is no

The natural scientists, the actual experts on the effects of global warming, gave estimates that were twenty to thirty times higher than those of the economists, who had much greater faith than the scientists in the salvific power of money. Yet

Avec QuotaClimat, l’Institut Rousseau a rédigé une proposition de loi127 visant à élargir les capacités de régulation de l’Autorité de régulation de la communication audiovisuelle et numérique (Arcom) au champ du dérèglement climatique. Cette dernière serait dotée d’une mission de service public d’information sur les sujets environnementaux et de

The IPCC process may reduce the independence of climate forecasters. Although there are nominally about twenty different climate models used in the IPCC’s forecast, they make many of the same assumptions and use some of the same computer code; the degree of overlap is significant enough that they represent the equivalent of just five or six

agree with the cure. Another study co-authored by Kahan found that right-wing participants were more willing to accept that climate change is a serious threat if the remedy is geoengineering – launching solar reflectors, injecting aerosol particulates into the stratosphere and capturing carbon to store it in deep geological formations – rather than

“even if global temperatures were to rise six degrees, a hurricane in California would rank very low on the list of things we’d need to worry about.”92

scientists were outnumbered by the economists about three to one, Nordhaus gave equal weight to each respondent’s answer. This move tilted the study’s bias toward the economists, enabling Nordhaus to find that “for most respondents the best guess of the impact of a 3-degree warming . . . would be ‘small potatoes

Les productions de monocultures intensives, avec leur logique de rentabilité à court terme, ne prennent pas en compte les désastres climatiques, environnementaux et sociaux qu’elles provoquent en partie.

About the same rate persisted in the 2000s and Washington experienced a record heat wave in 2012. In his paper, Hansen had also made these predictions for three other cities: Omaha, Memphis, and New York. These results were more mixed and go to illustrate the regional variability of the climate. Just 1 out of 10 summers in Omaha in the 1990s
