Cooling the Climate Hysteria: Separating Fact from Fiction presents a compendium of essential research, taking a critical look at climate science and policy through the lenses of economic analysis and reasoning, statistical analysis, and historical and empirical scrutiny.
In this collection of essays, The Heritage Foundation's experts challenge mainstream views on anthropogenic (human-induced) climate change. Discussions include:
- Substantive discrepancies between model projections and actual climate data, pointing out discrepancies and questioning the assumptions behind environmental policies.
- Earth's natural climate variability, arguing that many models diverge from historical trends.
- Data practices of organizations like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), suggesting they often exaggerate risks.
-
Economic and health claims related to climate change, asserting these are frequently overstated.
In contrast to this alarmism, Cooling the Climate Hysteria advocates for a balanced, evidence-based approach to climate policy that considers both costs and benefits.
