Yes, it has an effect...an effect equivalent to a mouse fart at NRG Stadium.
99.72% of greenhouse gasses are produced by natural sources.
Now, I'm sure you will go off on some tangent, but the fact remains, 0.28% is man's contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions.
And that's overall...burning fossil fuels emissions is a smaller amount still.
That's like saying a small pinch of arsenic would still only be .28% of your body if you ingest it...
But it will still kill you.
But, heck, you know more about this than 95% of climate scientists, right?
If your body was producing 95% of the total arsenic, that .28% wouldn't even make the balance sheet.
95% of climate scientists have been wrong 95% of the time.
And then they lie about it.
Here you go...peer reviewed paper...
Information Manipulation and Climate Agreements
It appears that news media and some pro-environmental organizations have the tendency to accentuate or even exaggerate the damage caused by climate change.
This article provides a rationale for this tendency by using a modified International Environmental Agreement (IEA) model with asymmetric information.
We find that the information manipulation has an instrumental value, as it ex post induces more countries to participate in an IEA, which will eventually enhance global welfare.
From the
ex ante perspective, however, the impact that manipulating information has on the level of participation in an IEA and on welfare is ambiguous.
Information Manipulation and Climate Agreements
What's the upshot?
That they know you, they and the media are full of shit...but it "enhances global welfare" so that makes it ok.
