@EpochOpinion @EpochTimes 1/10》The "climate crisis" is a political fiction, without basis in sound science.
The evidence is compelling that manmade climate change is modest and benign, CO2 emissions are beneficial, rather than harmful, and the social cost of carbon is negative.
@EpochOpinion @EpochTimes 2/10》Our CO2 emissions are affecting the Earth's climate… but for the better, not for the worse. The benefits are measurable by satellites. Here are some articles and peer-reviewed papers about it:

@EpochOpinion @EpochTimes 3/10》Elevated CO2 helps warm the Earth, but there's no convincing evidence that's harmful. In fact, scientists call warm climate periods "climate optimums."
Plus, additional CO2 is VERY beneficial for agriculture — a fact known to science for >100 years.

@EpochOpinion @EpochTimes 4/10》Elevated CO2 improves crop yields by "carbon fertilization," and also mitigates drought impacts, by making plants more water-efficient & drought-hardy, and reducing water requirements.
@EpochOpinion @EpochTimes 5/10》That's helping make large scale drought-triggered famines a fading memory, for the first time in human history.
Ending famine is a very, VERY Big Deal, comparable to ending war or disease.

@EpochOpinion @EpochTimes 6/10》It's impossible to overstate the importance of that. Compare:
● Covid-19 has killed about 0.133% of world population, so far
● The 1918 flu killed ≈2%
● WWII killed ≈2.7%
● But the global drought & famine of 1876-78 killed an estimated 3.7% of world population

@EpochOpinion @EpochTimes 8/10》In 2009 @NatGeo reported, "Vast swaths of North Africa are getting noticeably lusher due to warming temperatures, new satellite images show, suggesting a possible boon for people living in the driest part of the continent."

@EpochOpinion @EpochTimes @NatGeo 9/10》Not everybody at NASA is cloistered in GISS's NYC offices, writing fanciful, untestable computer models. NASA also employs excellent scientists who take real measurements, like these:
