The Miracle of Carbon Dioxide

Agricultural scientists predict that a doubling of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would cause a “greening” of the planet unknown in modern times.

Given all the benefits that carbon dioxide represents to humans, animals, and vegetation itself, there appears little reason to impose draconian regulations on emissions of carbon dioxide.

History has proved that carbon dioxide is a giver of life. By no stretch of the imagination can CO2 be intelligently considered to fall within the definition of pollutant.  [Via Climate Realists]

Is NOAA Smarter Than Fifth Graders? Think-Tank Says, "Don't Bet on It" | Climate Realists

"NOAA's forecast was on target last year, but it was only the second time in seven years the agency got it right. This may help explain why its forecasts the past two years have had such enormous ranges," said Ridenour. "Is NOAA smarter than two fifth graders? Given its less than 29% success rate the past seven years, we sincerely doubt it. To find out for sure, we've commissioned two fifth graders to calculate the number of Atlantic hurricanes using a methodology that 5th graders use to resolve most of life's most vexing challenges."
