Fossil Fuels Winning on Air Emissions (2023 update)

“Since 1970, implementation of the Clean Air Act and technological advances from American innovators have dramatically improved air quality in the U.S. Since that time, the combined emissions of criteria and precursor pollutants have dropped by 78%. Cleaner air provides important public health benefits, and we commend our state, local, community and industry partners for helping further long-term improvement in our air quality.” (- U.S. EPA, Our Nation’s Air: Trends through 2023)

Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions have never been considered a pollutant at ambient levels as have the criteria pollutants: Carbon Monoxide (CO); Lead (Pb); Nitrogen Dioxide (NO₂); Particulate Matter (PM); and Sulfur Dioxide (SO₂). With these real pollutants, the good continues to be good with more fossil fuel usage, less emissions. This is part of the increasing sustainability of fossil fuels, a multi-decade phenomenon with no end in sight.…

Whitewash on Display: Gaygate 2023, Climategate 2009

“Gaygate 2023 and Climategate 2009 reinforce each other. So when will basic honesty and academic standards return to academia? To climate science?”

It’s a whitewash–again. The plagiarism (and data falsification?) of Harvard president Claudine Gay brings to mind the similar exposé of the Climategate emails, whose words, sentences, and paragraphs had to be swept under the rug back in 2009/2010 by an embarrassed establishment protecting its own. [1]

Wiki’s whitewash, for example, brought attention to the source (“denialists”) and then misrepresented the importance of the exposé.

The story was first broken by climate-change denialists, who argued that the emails showed that global warming was a scientific conspiracy and that scientists manipulated climate data and attempted to suppress critics. The CRU [Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia] rejected this, saying that the emails had been taken out of context.
