Wind and solar energy are inefficient, unreliable, expensive sources of energy.
They need back up from coal, gas, nuclear or hydro power, available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, making them even more expensive!
Cheap electricity creates wealth and jobs.
One out of seven people on this planet has no electricity!
Denying poor countries access to fossil fuels, as environmentalists want to do, would condemn them to permanent poverty -- that means environmentalists are not the nice people they pretend to be.
Cheap electricity from coal brings people out of poverty.
Burning coal releases CO2.
CO2 is plant food.
The Earth greens from more CO2 in the air even though only 3% of CO2 emissions are man-made (97% of CO2 emissions are natural).
There's no scientific proof CO2 drives global warming, and that's why computer climate predictions (simulations) based on that belief are wrong over 95% of the time .
Earth has not warmed since the early 2000s, in spite of much more CO2 in the air, and computer climate models erroneously predicting warming every year.
Climate change science is not settled.
There is no climate change consensus -- the 97% consensus claim is a complete fabrication.
Earth had much higher atmospheric CO2 in the past with no runaway warming.
In fact, periods with high CO2 levels had:
(1) Ice ages,
(2) No acid oceans,
(3) No correlation between CO2 and average temperature, and
(4) No correlation between CO2 and sea level
The high atmospheric CO2 from long ago is now sequestered in sedimentary rocks (removed from the air naturally).
Historical data show us that a cool climate is less healthy than a warm climate, and scientific data show us low CO2 levels slow the growth rate of plants -- both are bad news, and we had both in the 1700s.
There's no logical reason for people to want less CO2 in the air in the future.
There's no logical reason for people to want global cooling.
And there was never any reason to fear CO2.
