Brian Zinchuk: How a real life Hoth ice base in Greenland in the 60s calls CO2 concerns into question today
Whoa, there, Nelly! You’re telling me that carbon dioxide levels were a full third less than they are at this very moment, and yet the northernmost portions of Greenland (the most likely to freeze) was tundra? It did not have most of a mile of ice covering it? Well below the supposedly crucial threshold of 350 parts per million?
Maybe the science isn’t settled, after all.

Open letter: CCS is needed and ready to address climate change
The significant support for carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects adopted by the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom in recent months has highlighted the importance of CCS in meeting international climate goals. Indeed, achieving net-zero emissions will rely heavily on implementing CCS in industries across the world — power generation, cement, steel and fertilizer manufacturing and mining, in particular — as well as for hydrogen fuel production from natural gas and addressing emissions from the production and consumption of fossil fuels as the world undertakes an orderly transition towards decarbonization.
