Such transformational changes in attitudes would help foster the necessary institutional reforms and technological innovations for providing the energy sources that have
negligible effect on global climate, atmospheric pollution and eco-systems, thus protecting generations yet to be born.
If we are in a global warming crisis today, even the most aggressive and costly proposals for limiting industrial carbon dioxide emissions and all other government proposals and taxes would have
a negligible effect on global climate!
Essentially, the «father of global warming,» James Hansen, admits that near - doubling atmospheric CO2 will have
negligible effect on global climate — an increment of < 1 °C.

Given that the celebrated Paris

negligible effect on global temperatures even if every country complied,
E.g., research assumes greenhouse gas emissions cause warming without explicitly stating humans are the cause»... carbon sequestration in soil is important for mitigating
global climate change» (4a) No position Does not address or mention the cause of
global warming (4b) Uncertain Expresses position that human's role
on recent
global warming is uncertain / undefined «While the extent of human - induced
global warming is inconclusive...» (5) Implicit rejection Implies humans have had a minimal impact
on global warming without saying so explicitly E.g., proposing a natural mechanism is the main cause of
global warming»... anywhere from a major portion to all of the warming of the 20th century could plausibly result from natural causes according to these results» (6) Explicit rejection without quantification Explicitly minimizes or rejects that humans are causing
global warming»... the
global temperature record provides little support for the catastrophic view of the greenhouse
effect» (7) Explicit rejection with quantification Explicitly states that humans are causing less than half of
global warming «The human contribution to the CO2 content in the atmosphere and the increase in temperature is
negligible in comparison with other sources of carbon dioxide emission»»
Essentially, one needs to show that the behaviour of the climatic signal is distinct from that generated by natural
climate variability in the past, when human
effects were
negligible, at least
on the
global scale.
