Surprising Facts About CO2 with Dr. William Happer and Gregory Wrightstone
We’re inundated with reports from media, governments, think tanks, and "experts" saying that our climate is changing for the worse, and that it is our fault because of man-made CO2 emissions. But despite apocalyptic predictions about climate, our earth, the planet is improving.
Why? And why aren’t we hearing about it?
It is possible that Co2 is not a pollutant?
Rather, that it’s a miracle, and not a curse?
In this episode of The Bill Walton Show Dr. William Happer, Co-Founder and Chair of the CO2 Coalition and Gregory Wrightstone, its Executive Director explain why they believe this to be true.
The CO2 Coalition, an independent, non-profit organization, aims to provide scientific facts and data to counter the prevailing narrative on climate change and promote a more balanced understanding of the role of CO2 in the environment. Available scientific facts have persuaded Coalition members that additional CO2 will be a net benefit.
First and foremost, CO2 is plant food. Green plants grow faster with more CO2. CO2 increase is enhancing corn production… a lot.
The 140-million-year trend is that the CO2 level is dangerously decreasing.
Observations show no significant change in extreme weather, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, or droughts.
Rising sea levels and melting glaciers confirm modern warming predated increases of CO2.
We are living in one of the coldest periods ever. For most of Earth’s history, it was about 10°C (18°F) warmer than today.
Temperatures changed dramatically during the past 10,000 years. It wasn’t us. An “ideal” temperature is not that of 150 years ago.
IPCC models have overstated warming up to three times too much.
For human advancement, warmer is better than colder.
"The true horror will be when the next cold period comes. Because we look back over the last 5,000 years of human history, the warm periods have been hugely beneficial to humanity and the cold periods have been horrific." Greg Wrightstone.
Dr. Happer is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Physics at Princeton University, has published over 200 peer-reviewed scientific papers and served as Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Director of Emerging Technologies on the National Security Council.
Mr. Wrightstone, a geologist, is the bestselling author of Inconvenient Facts and has published more than 200 papers, publications and commentaries concerning climate change and energy.
