On March 29, 2016, the CO2 Coalition and The New Criterion held a conference in New York City that challenged the supposedly “settled science” on climate change and purported detrimental effects of increasing levels of carbon dioxide.
Members of the CO2 Coalition and many other experts argue that carbon dioxide enrichment of the atmosphere provides manifold benefits for humanity. And observed surface warmings are much smaller than predicted by climate models. Economic models that fail to include the benefits of CO2 and the serious exaggerations of climate models and are being used to advocate “cures” that are much worse than the non-existent disease.
Featured speakers include Dr. Will Happer, emeritus professor of physics at Princeton University and President of the CO2 Coalition, Dr. Craig Idso, Founder Former President and Current Chairman of the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change, Dr. Patrick Moore, Co-Founder of Greenpeace and author of “Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout—The Making of a Sensible Environmentalist,” Dr. Ross McKitrick, Professor of Economics and Research Chair in Energy, Ecology and Prosperity at the Frontier Centre for Public Policy, Dr. Richard Lindzen Professor Emeritus of Atmospheric Sciences at MIT, Bruce Everett, a Specialist on Global Energy and Petroleum Issues and Adjunct Associate Professor of International Business, Fletcher School at Tufts University, Mark Steyn, international bestselling author and commentator, and Roger Kimball, Editor and Publisher of The New Criterion.
