Newsweek’s The Debate podcast invited James Taylor to join their program to discuss Heather Goldstone, the chief communications officer for the Woodell Climate Research Center.
Kudos to the podcast moderators at Newsweek for the fair and balanced broadcast of this topic.

During the vast majority of human civilization, temperatures were significantly warmer than today. More than 30,000 scientists have signed a paper saying we are not facing a climate emergency.
Throughout Earth’s history, a more normal level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been around 1000 ppm, not the 420 ppm we see today. The fact that carbon dioxide levels are so high and yet temperatures are lower than most parts of human civilization compared to the last 100 or a few 1,000 years tells you that carbon dioxide is not the control button for global temperatures.
I believe humans could play some role in this warming. But to say you know exactly – I think that’s really a leap of logic. The American Meteorological Society is the only scientific body in the world whose full members have been questioned extensively on this subject. And when asked, “How worried are you?” only 30 percent say they are very concerned.

We know for sure that the earth is green; NASA satellites measured it. We also know that crop production is breaking records almost every year in most countries. According to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, they have very little confidence in the observed negative effects between global warming and severe weather events. NASA satellites have measured a decrease in global forest fires. We’re seeing positive effects from more atmospheric carbon dioxide and warmer temperatures.
It is very important to have affordable and abundant energy; this is the lifeblood of every economy. There’s a reason new energy projects are being built and implemented in virtually every country in the world, primarily coal and natural gas. I do not believe that the heads of state or government in practically every country in the world are lacking in intelligence; I don’t think they’re stupid. There’s a reason coal and natural gas dominate power generation. When the day comes when wind power, solar power can compete with coal and natural gas, I’ll be the first to cheer them on.
