Convenient Warming: One on one with the executive director of C02, author Gregory Wrightstone

Summary

In this episode of Clarity from Chaos, the topic is climate change. The host, DK Campbell, and guest, Gregory Wrightstone, discuss various claims related to climate change and debunk them with scientific evidence. They cover topics such as air turbulence, the Green New Deal, forest fires, and the impact of climate change on agriculture. They also discuss the benefits of increased carbon dioxide levels and the potential for nuclear power as a clean energy source. The conversation highlights the importance of separating science from politics and provides resources for further education on the topic.

Takeaways

• Claims linking climate change to air turbulence, forest fires, and other events are often based on misinformation and lack scientific evidence.
• The Green New Deal and other climate change policies can have significant economic costs for taxpayers.
• Increased carbon dioxide levels have benefits for crop production and ecosystems.
• Nuclear power could be a viable clean energy solution, especially with the development of small modular reactors.
• Educating children and the public about the science of climate change is important to combat misinformation and promote critical thinking.
