ANOTHER REASON WHY THE AGW AGENDA IS INSANE: THERE IS NO CONSISTENT MEASURE OF MAN-MADE CO2

CCF: Discrepancies in CO2 Reporting

Written by Roger Pielke Jr.'s Blog | 02 September 2010

CO2scorecard.org has released a report (PDF) showing that different sources arrive at sometimes very different estimates of carbon dioxide emissions for different countries. The figure [right] comes from the report and shows various estimates of 2006 US emissions.

The report concludes:

Policy implications are quite serious because the empirical discrepancies in the current annual CO2 emissions estimates far exceed the annual reduction targets generally proposed by policy instruments like the cap‐and‐trade program or national commitments.

I come to a different conclusion -- namely, that the uncertainties in data provide (yet) another reason to disfavor top down programs focused on scheduling annual, national commitments to carbon dioxide reductions.

THIS PROVES THAT ATTACKING MAN-MADE CO2 IN ORDER TO CHANGE GLOBAL CLIMATE IS INSANE.

AND DOING IT WOULD HURT POOR PEOPLE MOST - BECAUSE THEY WOULD BENEFIT MOST FROM UNBRIDLED ECONOMIC AND INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT.

YES: ONE OF THE CHIEF CAUSE OF PERSISTENT GLOBAL POVERTY IS THE GREENS = AND THE REDS OF COURSE!

WHICH IS WHY I HAVE LONG SAID, IF YOU WANT TO MAKE POVERTY HISTORY, THEN YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE LEFT HISTORY.
