Decarbonisation Is Betrayed Science
It is a great pity that Business Report routinely devotes pages to scientifically false articles produced by the Presidential Climate Commission, the latest one by Brandon Abdinor (September 3) being particularly outrageous.
His opening paragraph, asserting that “we are heating the planet at unnatural rates by emitting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels”, is debunked by science that is not manipulated to suit globalist ideology. A report by six independent scientists titled “A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the US Climate”, published in July 2025 by the US Environmental Protection Agency, notes that lower stratospheric temperatures have shown no significant trend since 2000 – contrary to the globalists’ model predictions of a CO₂-driven trend. Overall, the report stresses that given the scale of natural variations, attribution of greenhouse gas to temperature cannot be made with certainty.
But what it does state with certainty is that the application of globalist decarbonisation ideology poses a totalitarian threat to social welfare and liberty while it ignores the beneficial effects of CO₂ on plant growth and agricultural activity.
Ironically and amazingly, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has acknowledged in its fifth assessment report, chapter 10, page 662, that ‘economic damage from global warming is negligible.’ Nonetheless, the IPCC ploughs on using models based on high emission data, which produce alarmist projections such as rising seas, which have yet to materialise. Significantly, the IPCC ignores the increased greening of the planet through CO₂-boosted photosynthesis, thereby expanding vegetation cover in semi-arid regions and benefiting human life.
The above details expose Abdinor’s claim that the “mechanics of the climate crisis are underpinned by logical science” as baseless. His views are further debunked by two factors controlled by God: variations in the tilt of the Earth and variations in the elliptical path of the Earth around the sun, both of which have effects on climate.
History corroborates that by recording warming periods and cooling periods over the millennia, long before the mass exploitation of fossil fuels. Decarbonisation, therefore, betrays science and, as such, the Presidential Climate Commission is a total waste of taxpayers’ money.
