Our strongest advocacy is for a national, annually escalating carbon fee and dividend.

Ben Santer said it "contradicted his findings while citing his research." It was debunked within a day of release.

If we don’t solve the massive “free-to-pollute” fossil fuel subsidy (IMF: $700B/yr in U.S.), there’s no pathway to climate safety. Period. Once you put a price (penalty) on pollution, that is when innovation happens, because it has a revenue proposition.

Bill Gates is just plain wrong about climate change
After 20 years positioning himself as a climate expert, Gates is now making straw man arguments and exposing the 'audacity' of a billionaire who thinks he can lecture the world.

Many of the Inflation Reduction Act's climate measures are expiring soon.
But while they were in place, they put us on track to save about 1 billion tons of carbon dioxide pollution over the next decade!

Scientists who study climate don't automatically attribute all changes to human activity. Rather, we carefully investigate every possible natural factor that could explain the planet's warming.
Could these be the real culprits?
The evidence is in--and the answer is NO.
