Putting a tourniquet around the energy supply to eliminate CO2 emissions is a worse idea now than it was a few years ago.
Putting a tourniquet around our energy supply in the name of eliminating CO2 emissions is a much worse idea now than it was even a few years ago, and that seems to be widely recognized (even in Europe).

The combination of different evidence weighting and logical frameworks can lead to different climate conclusions.
The combination of the DOE and Dessler report highlight areas of disagreement among climate scientists, and illustrates how weighting of different classes of evidence, addressing different topics, and different logical frameworks for linking evidence can lead to different conclusions.

Most of climate science has become focused on mega-modeling and politicking rather than thinking.
But most of climate science has become BORING . . . too much mega-modeling and politicking, and not enough thinking.

High solar variability may mean that solar activity's contribution to late 20th century warming is underestimated.
I also checked in with members of the ACRIM science team, they continue to support high solar variability. Hence, the high-level conclusion in the DOE Report "Moreover, solar activity's contribution to the late 20th century warming might be underestimated" is justified.

High amplitude natural variability and inhomogeneous datasets imply low confidence in detecting hurricane trends.
The combination of high amplitude natural variability plus short and inhomogeneous data sets imply low confidence in the detection and attribution of any trends.

There is little to no link between extreme weather events and fossil-fueled warming.
Although there is little to no link between extreme weather events and fossil-fueled warming (see the CWG Report), the U.S. currently has substantial vulnerabilities (and electric utility systems are hugely vulnerable to extreme weather events).

U.S. policy actions are expected to have undetectably small direct impacts on the global climate.
Chapter 12 concludes that U.S. policy actions are expected to have undetectably small direct impacts on the global climate and any effects will emerge only with long delays.

Climate scientists disagree on the extent of warming caused by human emissions versus natural variability.
However, climate scientists disagree about: How much warming is associated with our emissions Whether this warming is larger than natural climate variability.

Even if Net Zero objectives were achieved globally by 2050, the climate would continue to change due to natural variability.
Even if Net Zero objectives were achieved globally by 2050, the climate would continue to change from natural weather and climate variability: volcanic eruptions, solar effects, large-scale oscillations of ocean circulations, and other geologic processes.

An increase in wealth provides more certain protection against climate-related risks than emissions reduction.
Thus, an increase in wealth provides much greater and much more certain protection against climate-related risks than emissions reduction.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
