Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn’t, and Why It Matters.
In a nearly 13-minute appearance on Fox Business’
Kudlow, Koonin pushed a number of claims from his book that contradict the established scientific consensus on climate change. Among other things, he stated that “we ve seen hardly any change in most severe weather events”; that “in the U.S., the highest temperatures haven t gone up in 60 years and are the same as they were in 1900”; and that there’s been “no detectable human influences on hurricanes over the last many decades.” He also questioned why “somehow people don’t want to use” fracking and said the current situation around climate change is “misleading panic.”

Scientists want to spread dust in the upper atmosphere to see if it will stop climate change.
The idea is to dump calcium carbonate, basically chalk dust, into the stratosphere to block some of the sun s rays with the hope of halting the climate from warming.
It s called Stratospheric Aerosol Injection or SAI.
The media calls it Bill Gates idea, but Gates is only one of many people funding the research and it isn t his idea, it s Harvard s.
The test launch for the project next month in Sweden was canceled after people complained. But there s likely to be another test in the future because some scientists think this could work, while others say it s a very bad idea.
‘Modest’ climate change ‘beneficial’ for the globe: Steven Koonin09/05/2021|10min
Modest global warming will be “beneficial” for the planet and even if the temperature increases by two or three degrees Celsius the impacts will be “modest”, according to Professor Steven Koonin.
“It is in fact getting warmer, it’s gotten about one degree Celsius warmer since 1900, and that warming is thought to be in part due to human influences and in part due to natural phenomenon,” he told Sky News.
“The assessment reports say that a modest warming will actually be beneficial for the globe, and only when we get to two or three degrees do we start to see some impacts, and even those, the official reports say, will be modest.”

(Tom Brenner /Reuters) The week of May 3: waiving the COVID-19 vaccines’ intellectual-property protections, disappointing jobs numbers, and much, much more.
Just in case its tax plans were not evidence enough that the Biden administration has little understanding of the value of incentives, its proposal that intellectual-property protections should be waived in the case of COVID-19 vaccines bolstered the message that no economically productive deed should go unpunished.
The New York Timesprovided some background:
The United States had been a major holdout at the World Trade Organization over a proposal to suspend some of the world economic body’s intellectual property protections, which could allow drugmakers across the globe access to the closely guarded trade secrets of how th
