The Progressive-Democratic Party’s just passed Climate Correction Act/Inflation Reduction Act—Party can’t decide which it is—as doing wonders for Earth’s climate.
The Biden administration claims the law will enable the US to reduce carbon emissions in 2030 by around 40% below 2005 levels.
Environmentalist and Copenhagen Consensus President Bjorn Lomborg offered some actual data on the matter.
If you plug the predicted emissions decline into the climate model used for all major United Nations climate reports, it turns out the global temperature will be cut by only 0.0009 degree Fahrenheit by the end of the century. This is assuming the law’s emission reductions end when its funding does after 2030. But even if you charitably assume they’ll somehow be sustained through 2100 without any interruption, the impact on global temperature will still be almost unnoticeable, at 0.028 degree Fahrenheit.
That’s noise, not signal. Day-to-day—year-to-year—temperature varies, up and down, by that much.
But the Biden administration is perfectly willing to trash our economy and damage the lives of hundreds of millions of us Americans through that economic damage so it can virtue-signal and, especially, protect its political standing with the extreme Left.
That’s huge.
