[T]he report concludes that the damage caused by global warming is far less devastating than that wrought by misguided climate policies, especially the European Union’s totalitarian ambition of a “zero-carbon society.”
The report deems the direct impact of U.S. emission cuts on the global climate as “undetectable,” with any measurable effects emerging only after long delays — casting serious doubt on the wisdom of ambitious unilateral measures.
If this is true for the U.S. with its 14% share of global emissions, what should be said of Europe, which accounts for barely 6%?
[N]atural factors — such as solar flares or volcanic events — may be more influential in certain climate patterns.
The report disputes the dominant alarmist discourse by pointing out that media coverage exaggerates negative effects while ignoring positives such as COâ‚‚ fertilization.
If Europe takes science seriously, it really needs to restore energy freedom — the right of each member state to use the energy sources that suit it, without authoritarian and arbitrary interference from “Brussels.”
Crucially, the report explains that, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) itself, the economic damage from global warming is secondary, even negligible, compared to other factors. Moreover, it concludes that the damage caused by global warming is far less devastating than that wrought by misguided climate policies, especially the European Union’s totalitarian ambition of a “zero-carbon society.”
Moderate in tone, rigorously reasoned, and impeccably structured, the report sounds the death knell for “climate change ideology,” a cult which, under the pretext of “saving the climate,” seeks to sacrifice humanity— particularly in the West.
1. Global Warming Causes Only Negligible Impact on the Economy
The report finds that carbon dioxide–induced global warming has a far smaller economic impact than generally assumed. This was acknowledged by the IPCC in its Fifth Assessment Report (AR5), Chapter 10, p. 662:
“For most economic sectors, the impact of climate change will be small relative to the impacts of other drivers…. Changes in population, age, income, technology, relative prices… and many other aspects of socioeconomic development will have an impact on the supply and demand of economic goods and services that is large relative to the impact of climate change.”
