A distraction due to errors, misunderstanding and misguided Norwegian statistics

Real Climate

A friend asked me if a discussion paper published on Statistics Norway’s website, ‘ To what extent are temperature levels changing due to greenhouse gas emissions? ’, was purposely timed for the next climate summit ( COP28 ). All this can be explained by physical processes and an enhanced greenhouse effect.

What Happened During the Montana Youth Climate Trial

Legal Planet

As I outlined here , Montana state law prohibits the consideration of greenhouse gas emissions or climate impacts–– inside and outside the state’s borders––when reviewing projects and approving permits.

The Endangerment Finding Is in Danger. Will EPA’s Zeldin Uphold Climate Science?

Union of Concerned Scientists

Back in 2007, the Supreme Court reached a landmark judgment in Massachusetts et al. establishing that heat-trapping emissions (or greenhouse gas emissions) are air pollutants covered by the Clean Air Act. This blatant attempt to do an end-run around scientific evidence deserves to fail. What is the Endangerment Finding?
