Hundreds of scientists and policy experts sent a letter to President Donald Trump asking him to withdraw from a major United Nations environmental treaty [UN Convention on Climate Change aka UNFCCC] ratified during the Bush administration.
Their letter states that “warming from increased atmospheric CO2 will be benign — much less than initial model predictions.”
More than 300 eminent scientists signed the letter. Scientists are now free to tell the truth that climate change is not science, carbon dioxide, a gas essential for life, must not be targeted.
The scientists want his to pull out of the treaty completely. CO2 is not a pollutant.
CO2 “is not a pollutant but a major benefit to agriculture and other life on Earth,” reads the petition, obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation. “Observations since the UNFCCC was written 25 years ago show that warming from increased atmospheric CO2 will be benign — much less than initial model predictions.”
Obama signed the agreement last November and promised to cut CO2 to 26%.
“Since 2009, the US and other governments have undertaken actions with respect to global climate that are not scientifically justified and that already have, and will continue to cause serious social and economic harm—with no environmental benefits,” reads a separate letter written by Richard Lindzen, a climatologist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
“While we support effective, affordable, reasonable and direct controls on conventional environmental pollutants, carbon dioxide is not a pollutant,” Lindzen wrote in his letter, supplementing the petition.

“To the contrary, there is clear evidence that increased atmospheric carbon dioxide is environmentally helpful to food crops and other plants that nourish all life. It is plant food, not poison,” Lindzen wrote.
Increasingly, scientists are finding the world has actually greened in the past few decades largely due to increased CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. CO2 fertilization is even greening some of the world’s most arid regions.
The Senate ratified the UNFCCC in 1992, and there’s not a ton of legal precedent on what the procedure would be for withdrawing from such a treaty.
Two months ago a group of 800 scientists called on Trump to stay party to the Paris agreement. Those scientists claim pulling out of Paris would “undermine our best chance to avoid dangerous climate change.”
“The United States will lose its seat of influence at the international negotiating table, and will cede to China, the EU, and other countries its authority as a political, technological, and moral leader,” scientist wrote to Trump in December.
Recycling is also garbage. It achieves little if anything and the money has far better uses. The Great Pacific garbage patch was also a lie. The entire climate change story is a lie.
The line that 97% of scientists agree on climate change is a lie. They might agree humans contribute to it but very few think humans affect on the environment is devastating.
