Discussing the impact of climate change in Arkansas

The CO2 Coalition's latest report shows that Arkansas is not suffering from climate change - in fact - exactly the opposite

I recently wrote about this report, Arkansas and Climate Change - No Warming. No Crisis. No Problem., which examines the scientific basis for claims of harmful climate-change-related impacts in Arkansas.

In this video we discuss the report in more detail, presenting more of the data. I believe that the CO2Coalition demonstrates convincingly that spending trillions of dollars globally on climate change mitigation is a waste of money. They show that evidence of an imminent catastrophe is scant and that the result would be an insignificant drop in global temperature.

This is not to say that we shouldn't be thinking about adapting to climate change as I wrote about in my article Adapting to climate change won't cost the earth and discussed here. Given the annual cost of Net Zero in the UK is about £30bn - investing in climate adaptation would be cheaper, at around £10bn per year, and more achievable.

The obvious question is whether Arkansas is a strange outlier? It’s difficult to imagine why this should be - but what do you think?

This post is public so feel free to share it, particularly with family, friends and colleagues who are concerned about climate change.
