Why the war on CO2 has done far more harm than good

Warmageddonists send a lot of time screeching and scaremongering about the potpentially catastrophic outcomes of increased atmospheric CO2 levels, exaggerating their claims wildly in order to frighten people into supporting their war on the oil and coal industries. Policies formulated to tackle the imaginary threat of anthropogenic climate change have in both the short and long term proved more disastrous that the wildest imaginings of swivel - eyed ecoloons could dream sticking with coal and oil ever would.
If challenged they often fall back on the precautionary principle: doing something has no negative outcome, whereas doing nothing might.
In fact the case is that doing something is far more likely to have negative outcomes. In a new paper for the Global Warming Policy Foundation, Andrew Montford, author of the Bishop Hill blog on climate change, has identified quite a number of negative outcomes of environmentalist-driven climate change policies – or what William Happer, Professor of Physics at Princeton University, terms in the foreword “the jihad against atmospheric carbon dioxide”.
They range from the economic: market fixing and transfers of wealth from the poor to the rich; to the environmental: slaughter of wildlife and clearing of rainforests; to the human cost: hunger and starvation, and other human rights abuses.

Here’s a round-up. Consider it a sort of Common Sense For Dummies primer.

Researchers Discover How to Use Living Plants to Generate Electricity.

Most of the hyped green energy solutions to generate electricity from wind or sunshine are so obviously flawed the only thing that makes them economically viable is that governments offer huge subsidies to generators. This in turn makes the sustainables so expensive that consumers cannot afford the intermittent energy they produce.
