Recent Research Shows Nature, Not Human Fossil Fuel Use, Continues to Drive Climate Changes
by H. Sterling Burnett November 13, 2016While the media and various politicians continue to parrot environmental alarmists’ claims the science is settled, humans are causing dangerous climate change, real scientists, doing the hard job of actually examining evidence and providing hard data on climate changes as opposed to pontificating on disaster based on flawed models and unvalidated hypotheses from their ivory towers in academia and government agencies, continue to demonstrate nature, not human greenhouse gas emissions, dominate climate change.

Study Confirms Natural Gas Economy Has Lower Methane, Global Warming Emissions
by James Taylor October 20, 2016The prospects for significant reductions in greenhouse gases has received a major boost, as scientists report methane emissions from fossil fuels have not increased, even with a substantial increase in natural gas production.

Methane From Fracking: Not the Monster Bill McKibben Sniffs Out
by Isaac Orr September 16, 2016Methane is not the monster it’s made out to be, because emissions from oil and gas operations are generally low, and when leaks do occur, they are fixed quickly and easily.

The recent release of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) 600-page methane rule was the latest skirmish in the war on methane, but the next battle will be felt at your supermarket. According to EPA, the oil and gas industry is the top methane offender, but livestock — especially cattle — is a close number-two, making ranchers and their cattle radical environmentalists’ next targets.

Heartland Daily Podcast – Bette Grande: New Methane Rule vs. Strippers (Low-Volume Wells)
by Isaac Orr June 9, 2016The Environmental Protection Agency has a new target in it’s sights…strippers. Now that we have your attention, In this edition of The Heartland Daily Podcast, research fellows Bette Grande and Isaac Orr discuss how the EPA is targeting oil and gas wells that produce less than 15 barrels of oil equivalent per day. These wells, also known as stripper wells, are under attack from new EPA methane regulations that inappropriately apply rules for new wells on these typically older, lower volume wells.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued its final methane rule on May 12. The 600-page rule is agenda-driven and backed by pseudoscience, emotions, and unicorn dust, and it’s important to note one specific change in the final rule amounts to a regulatory taking. The final rule imposes costly regulations on wells producing fewer than 15 barrels per day, effectively shutting down those businesses.

The greenhouse regulators approve burning trees and plant trash in power stations because that recycles the life-supporting natural gases – water vapour and carbon dioxide.
-
The relentless war on carbon is justified by the false assumption that global temperature is controlled by human production of two carbon-bearing “Greenhouse Gases”. The scary forecasts of runaway heating are based on complicated but narrowly-focussed carbon-centric computerised Global Circulation Models built for the UN IPCC. These models omit many significant climate factors and rely heavily on dodgy temperature records and unproven assumptions about two trace natural gases in the atmosphere.
