ORLANDO, Florida — So-called climate policies by governments and Big Business, not alleged man-made climate change, are leading the world toward catastrophe on multiple fronts, warned leading scientists and policymakers from across the United States and beyond. Gathered at the Heartland Institute’s 15th International Conference on Climate Change, this broad coalition of more than 50 experts sounded the alarm on man-made crises ranging from energy and food scarcity to economic devastation and even tyranny unleashed under environmental pretexts. A dozen of them spoke with The New American magazine about it. 

One of the major themes throughout the conference was the ongoing global-cooling trend observed in the temperature record. Over the last eight years, human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO₂₎ have continued to grow. And yet, according to government data, there has been no warming at all. Rather than causing catastrophic climate change or global warming, increasing atmospheric CO₂ levels have produced a “greener” planet and increased agricultural yields, experts said. That is because CO₂ is actually plant food, and plants thrive in environments with far more CO₂ than is currently in the atmosphere. 

But there was also a clear warning call from the assembled experts: If the “climate” movement led by governments, the United Nations, tax-funded environmental groups, and Big Business is not restrained, there will be a great deal of needless pain inflicted on humanity — especially the poor. For instance, U.S. Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), one of the keynote speakers at the event, warned that the Left was weaponizing “climate change” as a vehicle that could ultimately see the United States go the route of Venezuela, which is collapsing under socialism.
