ARLINGTON, Va. President Biden’s Social Carbon Cost Rule is “scientifically invalid and would be catastrophic for the poor, people around the world, future generations, and the United States,” according to the statement. Court summary of two physics professors at Princeton and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the CO2 Alliance.
Filed today with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, summary amicus curie said, “There is a great deal of scientific evidence that fossil fuels and CO2 provide enormous social benefits.” It asks for the rule to be prohibited from further use pending the outcome of the trial court hearing.
The case before the appellate court – State of Louisiana vs. Biden – seeks to stop using “interim rules” made at the behest of the president. BILLIONThe Biden administration’s SCC rule directs regulators to include a purportedly projected “global cost” of each ton of carbon dioxide emissions from a range of projects that need funding or approval. federal government, from transportation to housing, energy and infrastructure.
The academics named in the abstract are Dr. William Happer, president of the CO2 Alliance and professor emeritus of the Department of Physics at Princeton University; and Dr. Richard S. Linden, professor emeritus in MIT’s Department of Earth, Atmosphere and Planetary Sciences, CO2 Alliance member and past chair.
The summary says the district court’s preliminary order should be reinstated because the technical documentation supporting the SCC and President Biden’s executive order imposing the rule is “scientifically invalid and would be catastrophic for the SCC.” with the world’s poor, future generations, and the United States.”
The abstract says: “Credible scientific theories come from confirming theoretical predictions with observations, not consensus, government opinion, peer review, or data be manipulated. The summary says the US Supreme Court has adopted the CO2 Coalition’s “basically” view of what constitutes valid science.
As a brief note, however, SCC-supporting predictions – especially climate projections generated by computer models – frequently fail the real-world observational test. Meanwhile, the summary says, advocates push for an SCC on the basis of a statement of consensus, support of government opinion on scientific challenge, endorsement of colleagues, manipulating some data and omitting other information.
One glaring omission in the administration’s proposed regulation is the benefits of carbon dioxide and of fossil fuels whose combustion in power generation and industrial processes emit gases.
“There is overwhelming scientific evidence that fossil fuels and CO2 provide enormous social benefits to the poor, people worldwide, future generations, and the United States, and therefore, will it would be disastrous to reduce or eliminate them.”
Briefly note that warming and moderately higher levels of carbon dioxide in recent decades have been correlated with greening of the entire Earth and record crop harvests. The document shows that gross domestic product per capita has increased over the past 2,000 years from a few dollars to approximately $7,000, closely tracking the increased use of coal, oil and natural gas over the centuries. recent century.
The summary said that the president’s order violates a congressional directive requiring benefits as well as costs to be taken into account in environmental considerations, and it exceeds the president’s authority to unilaterally create legislation. new.
The CO2 Coalition, based in Arlington, Va., is an organization of approximately 95 scientists and researchers engaged in educating thought leaders, policymakers, and the public. about the important contributions of carbon dioxide to human life and the economy.
