By John Droz, Jr. -- January 5, 2015 2 CommentsThe Alliance for Wise Energy Decisions (AWED) is an informal coalition of individuals and organizations interested in improving national, state, and local energy & environmental policies. Our basic position is that technical matters like these should be addressed by using Real Science. It’s all spelled out at WiseEnergy.org, which is a wealth of energy and environmental resources.
A key element of AWED’s efforts is public education. Towards that end, every 3 weeks we put together a newsletter to balance what is found in the mainstream media about energy and environmental matters. We appreciate MasterResource for their assistance in publishing this information.

By Paul Driessen and David Legates -- November 12, 2014 1 Comment“Everybody talks about the weather,” an old adage states, “but nobody does anything about it.” Don’t tell that to the climate alarmists who conflate weather with climate because humans are causing climate “disruption.” Experts from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, fixated on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, tell us to “do something about it.” At the very least, they say, improved climate prediction can prepare us for the crises to come.
There are three problems with his narrative (outside of its recent political rejection at the U.S. ballot box, which means defunding to come).
One, scientists increasingly realize that carbon dioxide’s role as a “greenhouse gas” is much lower than previously thought.
Two, cutting CO2 emissions means slashing the use of fossil fuels that provide over 80% of America’s and the world’s energy enabling modern living standards and lifting billions of people out of poverty and disease.…
