• Climate change will occur whether humans try to influence it or not.
• None of the current alarmist proposals to affect climate change will have any measurable effect on temperatures.
• Greater efforts by the US or other developed nations to lower CO₂ emissions will not result in lower world emissions relative to current levels since less developed countries are rapidly increasing emissions.
• There are no significant economic benefits of reducing CO₂ emissions.
• The basic Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming (CAGW) hypothesis promoted by alarmists is a failed scientific hypothesis.
• In the real world changes in atmospheric CO₂ levels will have no significant effects on temperatures.
• Natural factors can explain global temperature changes since the mid-20th Century.
• Atmospheric CO₂ levels are primarily determined by global temperatures, not CO₂ emissions.
• Reducing CO₂ emissions if actually implemented would greatly increase the costs of energy and decease its reliability at immense cost to ratepayers and taxpayers, particularly poor people worldwide.
