Debunking the climate change consensus – part 1

Well, duh, of course it is happening. Witness the urban heat island effect where it is warmer in cities than in the countryside. But, unless “human-caused climate change” is a serious problem, there are no policy implications of the AAAS statement.

American Chemical Society:

The Earth’s climate is changing in response to increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and particulate matter in the atmosphere, largely as the result of human activities.

Again, so what? (for the reasons discussed above).

American Geophysical Union (AGU):

Based on extensive scientific evidence, it is extremely likely that human activities, especially emissions of greenhouse gases, are the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century. There is no alternative explanation supported by convincing evidence.

Even if that were true (it isn’t), warming since the mid-20th century is very small, so again, there are no policy implications of this statement.

American Medical Association: I won’t even quote them since medical doctors have no expertise in climate change causes. Regardless, their assertion is akin to the others above.

American Meteorological Society:

Research has found a human influence on the climate of the past several decades ... The IPCC (2013), USGCRP (2017), and USGCRP (2018) indicate that it is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-twentieth century.

Again, so what?
