“There is ‘NO Climate Crisis’ says a coalition of 1,600 actual scientists” in a recent letter to the California Air Resources Board. In fact, the scientists find that “California is in no danger of unusual drought: The annual precipitation in California has fluctuated greatly over the last 150 years, with only a slight decrease.”
California also has record low levels of air pollution that are below the threshold of human health effects, James E. Enstrom, PhD, MPH has told us repeatedly for years. He’s also one of the 1,600 scientists signed onto the letter to CARB.
The scientists also insisted that carbon dioxide is beneficial to Earth.
The CO2 Coalition’s letter is particularly timely with Gov. Gavin Newsom taking his climate change road show to the Vatican later this week where he was invited to speak by Pope Francis at a Summit of mayors and governors. The Summit, which will be held from May 15th to May 17th, will cover “the impact of rising temperatures” in local communities, and “climate resilience.”
This one-page summary letter begins with a link to a 16-page detailed report containing the strong evidence.
****************
An open letter to the California Air Resources Board
Dear Sir or Madam:
Good news: There is NO climate crisis in California. This claim was verified by the scientific data that were compiled by the CO2 Coalition, a nonprofit organization with the goal of determining and propagating the facts regarding carbon dioxide (CO2) and the climate (CO2 Coalition, 2024). The key findings provided below stand in contrast to the climate crisis claims made in the March 1, 2024, California Priority Climate Action Plan (Priority Climate Action Plan, 2024) and the California Climate Disclosure Rules (Senate Bills No. 253 and No. 261) (Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America, 2024). More details can be found in the attached letter and appendix.
- Modest warming of California is beneficial and not a cause for concern: Globally, more people have died from the cold than from the heat since 2000.
- Increase in agricultural production: The combination of lengthened growing seasons (from warming) and increased CO2 concentrations has contributed to this increase.
- CO2 is essential: Plants need CO2, sunlight, water, and nutrients from the soil to produce food and oxygen, both of which are essential for human and animal lives.
- CO2 is beneficial: Exposing plants to higher concentrations of CO2 increases their growth, food production, and drought-resistance; and greens the Earth.
- California is in no danger of unusual drought: The annual precipitation in California has fluctuated greatly over the last 150 years, with only a slight decrease.
- Ski resorts are experiencing more snow: Most (21 of 22) ski resorts in California had increasing snowfall from 2012 to 2023.
- California is in no danger of drowning: North Spit, CA, has the highest rate of sea level rise of 0.005 meter/year, or 1.64 feet in 100 years, which is easily mitigated.
- Less natural disasters over the years: Significantly reduced number of wildfires and acres burned were reported in the United States and globally; California has infrequent tornadoes, no landfalling hurricane from 1851 to 2023, and no tropical depression from 1950 to 2023; and tropical storms are rare in California, with the last two reported in 2023 and 1997.
- Air quality in California keeps getting better: The concentrations of major pollutants have decreased over the years.
In conclusion, there is NO climate crisis in California and CO2 is essential for all life on Earth. If you need additional details, the CO2 Coalition will be happy to respond to any inquiries you may have, and the members of the CO2 Coalition will be happy to meet with you for further discussions. Several members of the CO2 Coalition have signed the No Climate Emergency Declaration (CO2 Coalition, 2023).
*******************
The letter is signed by Gregory Wrightstone, Executive Director of the CO2 Coalition.
The summary letter contains a link to the September 2023 “NO Climate Emergency” declaration signed by the 1,600 scientists, including long-time scientist and epidemiologist Dr. James Enstrom: https://co2coalition.org/news/over-1600-scientists-sign-no-climate-emergency-declaration/.
Dr. Enstrom says one of the most prominent signers is 2022 Nobel Laureate John Clauser, who described the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as “one of the worst sources of dangerous misinformation,” and was disinvited to speak before the U.N.’s International Monetary Fund (IMF) on July 25, 2023.
“The physicist believes that objective science on climate has been sacrificed to politics. The preeminence of politics is all the worse, he said, because so much money has already gone to climate,” the CO2 Coalition said.
“We’re talking about trillions of dollars,” he said, adding that powerful people don’t want to hear that they’ve made “trillion-dollar mistakes.”
“Concerns about such mistakes may have been what led to his dis-invitation to speak before the IMF,” the CO2 Coalition reported. “Dr. Clauser told The Epoch Times he’d received an email indicating that the IMF’s Independent Evaluation Office Director, Pablo Moreno, did not want the talk to go forward that day.”
“In an email, an IEO senior official told The Epoch Times that Dr. Clauser’s speech ‘has been postponed to reorganize it into a panel discussion. We are working to reschedule it after the summer,’ the official added.
“In recent years, the international economic and monetary agency has focused heavily on climate. Officials have laid particular stress on international carbon taxes. “The latest IMF analysis finds that large emitting countries need to introduce a carbon tax that rises quickly to $75 a ton in 2030,” the agency’s website on climate mitigation states.

The so-called climate crisis is almost exclusively a mechanism to allow people in power to exponentially increase their power and control over literally everyone and everything. The earth was several degrees (Celsius) warmer during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and life flourished. Additionally, there can be no life without carbon. Good luck finding a grant-funded scientist who will correctly point out the earth is still at the tail end of an ice age. Those afflicted with Climate Derangement Syndrome now constitute the largest cult religion that has ever existed.
What about TRUMP Derangement Syndrome?
Demented Donny loves you; he really DOES!
?????
Both syndromes are caused by ignorance of the natural world and lack of science edumacation. Particularly in Kalifornia, where science has been replaced with gender confusion in a campaign to make children available for use by the lqtgb whatever crowd.
You are certainly not woke, and you are probably proud of it.
Easily led to hate someone by watching tv and listening to people who hate someone for no reason. Luckily there are still people who look at things and judge for themselves what they like or don’t like about it. You? Follower. Easily fooled and led in any direction. . Hah ha. Sucker. Bet your parents are proud of their feeble minded child. Ask them. Dare you, you can’t handle the truth. Really, you can’t
ARCTIC Summer Ice Hasn’t Declined in a Decade, Climate Scientists Covered It Up. The press and the global warming crowd deliberately suppress the fact that ANTARCTICA has had record cold, snow and ice accumulation for decades. Even the last few years, ANTARCTICA , snow and ice have hit record numbers.
The number of catastrophic hurricanes and tornadoes has dwindled the last couple of decades.
The so-called doomed Great Barrier Reef is thriving and growing.
The oceans have not risen appreciably other than the normal waxing and waning of ice melt and evaporation cycles
Dear Fed Up,
You are certainly correct that the Climate Cult is a religion. You are also correct that the Climate Crisis is just a mechanism for the Ruling Class to justify spending tax dollars on anything they want. And you are correct that too many scientists play along with the climate nonsense for the grants they receive.
But let me correct you about Ice Ages and Interglacial Periods. We are presently in one of the roughly 10,000 year Interglacial periods that occur periodically after 100,000 year Ice Ages. These are caused by changes in the Earth's orbit, called Milankovitch Cycles. We are a few degrees C warmer during these Interglacials, because the massive continental glaciers melt and their white ice is replaced by much darker ground and vegetation that absorbs sunlight. Typically, this ends during the next 5,000 year Milankovitch "Great Winter," when the continental glaciers are again able to gain a foothold. We may be lucky this time, because the Earth's orbit has become almost circular, lessening the Milankovitch effects.
For the last 140 million years, the amount of CO2 in our atmosphere has been declining from about 2500 ppm to 400 ppm today. Life flourished during this period. Today, we are dangerously close to the minimum (200 ppm) to sustain life on this planet. Hence, more is exceedingly beneficial. It allows us to feed the eight billion people who call this planet home.

Dr. Fulks, thank you for that useful information! Even at the ripe age of 73 I truly appreciate learning new things. FYI, Dr. Patrick Moore, one of the original founders of Greenpeace believes we are still at the tail end of a glacial period. That's where my previous info came from.
Again, thanks!
The climate change “crisis” is truly the crime of the century. It is used as an excuse to increase government control over the people in undermining individual and economic freedom. It is responsible for catastrophic environmental and economic impacts caused by offshore wind and land based wind projects. The amount of the people’s money spent by governments on this hoax is beyond comprehension. This must be stopped, now!
The “Climate Crisis” is a fraud being used to transfer tax payer dollars to select politically connected people and companies. A secondary bonus for the corrupt ruling class is they get to try and dictate how people travel, eat and generally live. All their predictions have been wrong and no one is ever held accountable. They travel in their private jets, party on their mega yachts and live in their mansion beach houses by themselves while preaching that the world is about to end.
“‘Do as I say, not as I do,’ because I’m smarter and more important than you, and I have a private jet to prove it.”
Dear Robert,
You are squarely on target.

I agree with your article. What I do find odd is that there is massive flooding going on in Brazil and I find out about it at church because my Pastor asked the congregation to pray for Brazil. I am surprised that the climate alarmists aren't using Brazil as an example of climate change. I did see an article online that showed the massive devastation from the flooding and explained that some of the locals in Brazil are blaming cloud seeding for the flooding. Interesting times. My Pastor found out about the flooding from missionaries that serve in the region.
Hal, when the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano erupted on Jan 15 2022 it sent 146 trillion grams of water vapor into the stratosphere (NASA estimate), and ever since then there has been unusually high rainfall around the world. This is certainly an example of "climate change", but it has nothing at all to do with CO2 emissions.
Next thing you know, the climate cult will be outlawing and attempting to tax volcanoes for their eruptions....
Memo to Gov Gav:
Climate Change is a hoax and YOU are the reason for California’s deficit, not climate change!
Let’s hope this is the beginning of the end for the biggest scam in world history!
Heck even the little troll Greta Thunberg has shifted to a new cause!
HOW DARE YOU!!!
Ha,ha!
Yes, I dare!
Meanwhile Pope Francis claims that climate change has brought the world to the “breaking point" in his introduction to a 3-day climate summit to be held in the Vatican on May 15 - 17 that Gavin Newsom (aka Count Dracula ) will be attending. Pope Francis singled out the United States as particularly responsible for the climate “emergency” because of the “irresponsible lifestyle” of its citizens. The pope failed to mention that in aggregate, China’s emissions are more than double those of the United States, and America’s air is among the cleanest of any nation, while China’s air quality is among the poorest.
Pope Francis stated that climate change is “no longer a secondary or ideological question, but a drama that harms us all,” adding that climate change manifests “a tragic and striking example of structural sin.”
The Pope is a Marxist and WEF globalist stooge?
Again, the former Argentine bouncer spouts whatever the global elites ask of him. This is not the word of God. Jesus brought the message of love, hope and most of all, No Fear!
God wants us to enjoy the beauty he created and to be a free people and accept and love his savior.
1 John 4:18 - There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.
Proverbs 29:25 - The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe.
It appears to me that this Pope has not taken to heart the words of the Bible. So I ask why is he teaming with the King of Lies, Gavin Newsom the guy who pushes against God’s precious word, thou shall not murder! Abortion is just that!!!
If you look up photos of the art in the Vatican it is outright Satanic. This tells you his real agenda.
Amen, sister! It seems that many people who should know better treat the earth as an idol. If you look at most of the people who are currently praying to the planet, you will find their paganist beliefs are not too different from those unenlightened pagans from several thousand years ago.
Yes. Yes he is. A massive mistake by the Catholic Church to place this Marxist in charge. Unfortunately, he has stacked the deck with his followers so that the next elected pope will likely follow his lead. Is a schism coming?
Does anyone really belive that this Pope has any inside information or special or insight on any important topic? I hope not!
Does anyone really belive that this Pope has any inside information or special or insight on any important topic? I certainly hope not!
Yes.
Is Newsom riding his bicycle to the Vatican, to minimize his "carbon footprint" ???
Asking for a friend....
Nice!
If not a bicycle then maybe a nice long swim across the Atlantic and Mediterranean seas!
It would make Gaia happy.
ALERT -- The Pope has just issued an edict to all churches that, effective immediately, all sacramental wine is to be replaced with the more socially accepted Klimate Koolaid.
Love this!
The fake Pope must be confused between Jim Jones and Jesus.
Take this Kool Aid in remembrance of me….
"Climate Fetish" Book-- An urban myth is a fictional tale or conspiracy theory that circulates widely, is told and retold and presumed true by mere repetition. Urban myths are spread and illuminated in mass media, and become part of popular culture. Urban myths circulate from no singular source and can survive as fearmongering news items. Myth-making eco-propagandists have become mainstream news media assets. Urban myths can be dangerous propaganda that causes civic alarm and paranoia often for nefarious political advantage. Examples are the global Y2K internet collapse, white privilege, Russian collusion, World War III and endless doomsday scenarios. For over a half century, environmentalists have menaced us with fear-mongering scenarios of man-made ecological apocalypse. The environmental movement is the most densely-organized movement in human history. There are over 15,000 environmental nonprofits in the U.S. Having run out of green campaign grievances for their tax-exempt fundraising, radical eco-groups have come up with the most fantastic, intractable and theoretical problem of all – controlling dynamic, natural global climate variabilities (atmospheric thermodynamic radiative forcing). In scapegoating climate change for every inexplicable natural phenomenon and natural disaster, green-government tyranny would subvert capitalism itself with "climate austerity." Partisan green-government regulations inflate the costs of goods, services, activities, food, and energies.
The X link below was posted at Citizen Free Press this morning under the headline "Gavin Newsom has no shame."
Subhead on the tweet: "Gavin Newsom blames climate change for the massive budget deficit in California. [!!!] When everything else fails, blame the climate."
https://twitter.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1789993685188329950
In these dark times it is nevertheless a JOY to see the entire nation become more savvy by the minute about Newsom. Although it's difficult to measure, I can't help thinking Katy Grimes deserves A LOT of the credit for first getting the information out there into the national ether about this disastrous California governor and who this Gavin Newsom really is.
“LIVE NOT BY LIES” (or by eating bugs)
Climate Change policy has as much to do with protecting the environment as Covid policy has to do with protecting health. They are both scams for money and power.
Appealing to Newsom et al., including his cronies on the California Air Resources Board, to give up their Climate Change Scam based on facts and evidence has as much chance of success as appealing to the Chinese Communist Party and the Mexican cartels to stop making and selling Fentanyl based on facts and evidence that Fentanyl is killing 100,000+ Americans every year.
The coalition of kleptocrats and communists pushing the Climate Change Scam use Lenin’s principle:
--“A lie told often enough becomes the truth.”
And this is especially effective when few people push back with the truth. (BTW, how many Republicans go along with the scam?)
We should publicize the cost the Climate Change agenda imposes on the working men and women of California, America, and the world because polls show most people are very price sensitive about paying money out of their own pockets to fight Climate Change. However, as long as we accept the premise of the Climate Change Scam, freedom, prosperity, national sovereignty, and offering a middle class standard of living to the working men and women of the world inevitably lose.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote in “Live not by lies,”
--“And thus, overcoming our timidity, let each man choose: Will he remain a witting servant of the lies (needless to say, not due to natural predisposition, but in order to provide a living for the family, to rear the children in the spirit of lies!), or has the time come for him to stand straight as an honest man, worthy of the respect of his children and contemporaries?”
Let all freedom loving and truth loving people take every opportunity to be the boys and girls with the courage to say, “The Global Warming Emperor is standing there stark naked.”
It’s either that or learn to eat bugs.
Amen!
“Just Say No To Bugs!”
Gregory: You insightfully wrapped up all the devious, divisive, and DIE-abolicle climate distortions with COVID, the economy, and communist control. The consent of the governed is managed by tyrannical lying leaders like "let them eat bugs" Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci, Pope Francis, Governor Newsom...
They even claim mass migration, the border invasion is the result of climate change.
The bugs thing is part of the de-humanizing of people. They pushed "vaccines" that kill you, masks and standing 6 feet apart and all other sorts of de-humanizing behaviors on people as training. Bugs will actually poison you. Just say no is right on.
The problem with California is that most of the power is wielded by a handful of politicians from the most dysfunctional part of the state: the bay area.
