New Study Takes Aim at Climate Change Scam

New Study Takes Aim at Climate Change Scam

The Environmental Protection Agency’s so-called “endangerment finding” back in 2009 has been challenged in a big way by a new report which threatens to knock down carbon dioxide regulations.
The report. In a press statement, researchers Drs. Jim Wallace, John Christy, and Joe D’Aleo claim that their study has “proven that it is all but certain that EPA’s basic claim that CO2 is a pollutant is totally false.”
The Daily Caller reported: “Wallace, Christy and D’Aleo — a statistician, a climatologist and meteorologist, respectively — released a study claiming to invalidate EPA’s 2009 endangerment finding, which allowed the agency to regulate CO2 as a pollutant.”
“This research failed to find that the steadily rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations have had a statistically significant impact on any of the 14 temperature data sets that were analyzed,” the researches explained in the second edition release of their peer-reviewed report.
“Moreover, these research results clearly demonstrate that once the solar, volcanic and oceanic activity, that is, natural factor, impacts on temperature data are accounted for, there is no ‘record setting’ warming to be concerned about,” the authors wrote. “In fact, there is no natural factor adjusted warming at all.”

The purpose of the study. The DC reported:

The study is intended to bolster a petition Wallace and D’Aleo filed with EPA as part of the Household Electricity Consumers Council (CHECC), asking the agency to reconsider its endangerment finding.
The libertarian Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) also filed a petition with EPA to reconsider the endangerment finding. The Trump administration has not indicated whether or not they will reconsider the Obama-era finding. Any challenge would be met with legal action from environmental activists.
CHECC’s petition relies on findings from a 2016 study by Wallace and company that found the three lines of evidence EPA relied on for its 2009 endangerment finding weren’t scientifically sound.

According to the new study, the supposed “tropical hot spot” that the EPA alleged would be created if humans continue to emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere by humans, “simply does not exist in the real world.”
The endangerment finding. The EPA’s 2009 endangerment finding about six greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, set the stage for the Obama administration to issue sweeping regulations regarding the climate change hoax.
According to the EPA’s findings, greenhouse gases emitted by vehicles, “endanger both the public health and the public welfare of current and future generations.”
That gave the Obama administration the legal authority to stick major regulations on vehicles, power plants, industrial facilities, and agriculture.
What this means. The Trump administration has not tackled the endangerment finding yet, despite other rollbacks of Obama era climate policies, but this could provide the impetus for them to do so.
