No Climate Emergency

“While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease.”  -Genesis 8:22 NKJV

Good news!  The earth is just fine.  You can relax and enjoy life and the incredible creation God has given us.  Yes, we should support reasonable measures to fight pollution, encourage wildlife, and wisely use our natural resources.  But there is no climate emergency.  And, when problems arise, we can adapt. 

There is no climate emergency, according to over 1,100 scientists and professionals worldwide.  Climate Intelligence (CLINTEL) issued a summary of this view on June 27, 2022. 

Quotes from the World Climate Declaration (WCD): 

Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific. In particular, scientists should emphasize that their modeling output is not the result of magic: computer models are human-made.

Climate science has degenerated into a discussion based on beliefs, not on sound self-critical science.

There is no climate emergency

Scientists should openly address uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians should dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of their policy measures.

Natural as well as anthropogenic factors cause warming

The geological archive reveals that Earth’s climate has varied as long as the planet has existed, with natural cold and warm phases.

Warming is far slower than predicted

The world has warmed significantly less than predicted by IPCC on the basis of modeled anthropogenic forcing. The gap between the real world and the modeled world tells us that we are far from understanding climate change.

Climate policy relies on inadequate models

CO2 is not a pollutant. It is essential to all life on Earth. Photosynthesis is a blessing. More CO2 is beneficial for nature, greening the Earth: additional CO2 in the air has promoted growth in global plant biomass. It is also good for agriculture, increasing the yields of crops worldwide.

Global warming has not increased natural disasters

Climate policy must respect scientific and economic realities

The aim of global policy should be ‘prosperity for all’ by providing reliable and affordable energy at all times. In a prosperous society men and women are well educated, birthrates are low and people care about their environment.

It is not the number of experts but the quality of arguments that counts.  (End quotes.)

So, enjoy life and nature.  Plant a garden.  Plant a tree.  Visit wildlife refuges and national parks.  Learn more about the natural world, and walk humbly before God.
