“So, what does science really tell us about climate change? It’s very different from what one might read in, say, the New York Times or even, sadly, in editorials in Nature and other once-prestigious science journals. We know climate change is a permanent feature of planet Earth; any human impact that might be occurring is probably too small to discern against a background of natural variability; and CO2, so often blamed for changing the weather, is almost surely a minor player compared to natural processes. Despite all the hot talk, there is no “climate crisis” resulting from human activities and no such thing on the horizon.”
