“There is ‘NO Climate Crisis’ says a coalition of 1,600 actual scientists” in a recent letter to the California Air Resources Board. [emphasis, links added]
The scientists find that “California is in no danger of unusual drought: The annual precipitation in California has fluctuated greatly over the last 150 years, with only a slight decrease.”
California also has record low levels of air pollution that are below the threshold of human health effects, James E. Enstrom, PhD, MPH has told us repeatedly for years. He’s also one of the 1,600 scientists who signed the letter to CARB.
The scientists also insisted that carbon dioxide is beneficial to Earth.
The CO2 Coalition’s letter is particularly timely with Gov. Gavin Newsom taking his climate change road show to the Vatican later this week where he was invited to speak by Pope Francis at a Summit of mayors and governors.
The Summit, which will be held from May 15th to May 17th, will cover “the impact of rising temperatures” in local communities, and “climate resilience.”
This one-page summary letter begins with a link to a 16-page detailed report containing strong evidence.
An open letter to the California Air Resources Board
Dear Sir or Madam:
Good news: There is NO climate crisis in California. This claim was verified by the scientific data that were compiled by the CO2 Coalition, a nonprofit organization to determine and propagate the facts regarding carbon dioxide (CO2) and the climate (CO2 Coalition, 2024).
The key findings provided below stand in contrast to the climate crisis claims made in the March 1, 2024, California Priority Climate Action Plan (Priority Climate Action Plan, 2024) and the California Climate Disclosure Rules (Senate Bills No. 253 and No. 261) (Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America, 2024). More details can be found in the attached letter and appendix.
- Modest warming of California is beneficial and not a cause for concern: Globally, more people have died from the cold than from the heat since 2000.
- Increase in agricultural production: The combination of lengthened growing seasons (from warming) and increased CO2 concentrations has contributed to this increase.
- CO2 is essential: Plants need CO2, sunlight, water, and nutrients from the soil to produce food and oxygen, both of which are essential for human and animal lives.
- CO2 is beneficial: Exposing plants to higher concentrations of CO2 increases their growth, food production, and drought-resistance; and greens the Earth.
- California is in no danger of unusual drought: The annual precipitation in California has fluctuated greatly over the last 150 years, with only a slight decrease.
- Ski resorts are experiencing more snow: Most (21 of 22) ski resorts in California had increasing snowfall from 2012 to 2023.
- California is in no danger of drowning: North Spit, CA, has the highest rate of sea level rise of 0.005 meters/year, or 1.64 feet in 100 years, which is easily mitigated.
- Less natural disasters over the years: Significantly reduced number of wildfires and acres burned were reported in the United States and globally; California has infrequent tornadoes, no landfalling hurricane from 1851 to 2023, and no tropical depression from 1950 to 2023; and tropical storms are rare in California, with the last two reported in 2023 and 1997.
- Air quality in California keeps getting better: The concentrations of major pollutants have decreased over the years.
In conclusion, there is NO climate crisis in California and CO2 is essential for all life on Earth. If you need additional details, the CO2 Coalition will be happy to respond to any inquiries you may have, and the members of the CO2 Coalition will be happy to meet with you for further discussions. Several members of the CO2 Coalition have signed the No Climate Emergency Declaration (CO2 Coalition, 2023).

Listened to a podcast featuring Andrew Montford of the GWPF. who said that climate alarmists are impervious to facts and it was impossible to convince by argument. The only hope was a catastrophe either economic or energy which might generate a rethink.
The climate change movement is and always has been a political movement. True science will continue to be ignored.
And 1600 Scientists are far more truthful then two fake Scientists like Gore and DiCaprio and phony groups like Union of Concerned Scientists Center of Science for the Public Interest and the Crack-Pots we see in the Fake News every day
