Alarmists and Skeptics Agree on Something

                       

Kerry channels John Christy. Amazing! What is the point of COP21 again?

India and China aren’t going to buy into emissions reductions. This should allow Poland, Germany et al to breathe easier.

Kerry admits futility of US CO2 cuts in Paris speech

The fact is that even if every American citizen biked to work, carpooled to school, used only solar panels to power their homes, if we each planted a dozen trees, if we somehow eliminated all of our domestic greenhouse gas emissions, guess what – that still wouldn’t be enough to offset the carbon pollution coming from the rest of the world.

If all the industrial nations went down to zero emissions –- remember what I just said, all the industrial emissions went down to zero emissions -– it wouldn’t be enough, not when more than 65% of the world’s carbon pollution comes from the developing world.

Climatologist Dr. John Christy: ‘Even if U.S. disappeared today – no people, no cars, no factories – the impact would be negligible on whatever the climate does’        

"Even if the United States of America disappeared today – no people, no cars, no factories – the impact would be negligible on whatever the climate does," Christy said. "To me, it is not scientifically justifiable or economically rational that this nation should establish regulations whose only discernible consequence is an increase in economic pain (placed) most directly and harshly on the poorest among us. This happens when the scientific process that allegedly underpins regulations lacks objectivity and transparency."

Gee, perhaps we are making some progress after all.
