Thank you for joining us for two-and-a-half days of discussion and debate over the causes and consequences of climate change, the most important and controversial topic of our time. I hope you enjoy the presentations and learn something new. Real Science This year’s program features approximately 60 scientists and policy experts speaking at plenary sessions and on panels discussing what real science is telling us about climate change. They will discuss the latest discoveries in climate history and physics, extreme weather events, the all-important question of attribution (what causes climate change?), and the impacts of climate change. JoSeph L. Bast President While we have a stellar line-up of speakers, I am disappointed once again by the refusal of scientists THe HeArtland Institute who support the predictions of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to attend and defend their position. More than 30 “warmists” were invited to present at this event. All refused. If it is fair to judge a scientific theory by whether its advocates show up to defend it, then the theory of catastrophic anthropogenic global warming is a failure. Real Choices The debate over climate change is charged with partisan fever because it affects important public policies. These are the real choices we face as taxpayers, consumers, and voters. TABLE OF CONTENTS The IPCC’s science reports are used to defend policies that impose substantial costs on consumers and Schedule . 4 threaten to destroy hundreds of thousands of jobs. Fear of “global warming” is invoked to justify a Book Signings . 6 litany of government interventions, everything from “smart growth” and organic gardening to corporate subsidies and income redistribution. Speakers . 8 Speakers at this conference address these choices, in particular the promise and limits of renewable Cosponsors . 16 energy, the health effects of climate change, and the economics of adaptation and emissions control. Judging by the press and statements made by environmental advocacy groups, asking questions about real science and real choices in the climate change debate is so dangerous that it ought to be forbidden. According to the mainstream media, this very conference isn’t occurring! But we are in fact meeting, and asking questions. And we are being heard all around the world, thanks to the Internet. We thank you and our 59 cosponsors for the courage to attend and for helping to make this meeting possible. I hope you enjoy the conference, and I welcome your feedback and suggestions for future events. Sincerely, Joseph L.

  • October 17, 2017 the Honorable Scott Pruitt Administrator Environmental
    October 17, 2017 The Honorable Scott Pruitt Administrator Environmental Protection Agency 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20460 Dear Administrator Pruitt: On behalf of the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) and the Science and Environmental Policy Project (SEPP), I am writing to transmit to you a letter signed by more than 60 climate and health experts in support of our February 2017 petition, and in support of a similar petition filed by the Concerned Household Electricity Consumers Council, asking the Environmental Protection Agency to reconsider the 2009 Endangerment Finding for greenhouse gases. Since 2009, a number of the basic claims in that document have become increasingly questionable, and there are growing doubts about the computer models on which the finding was based. These seriously undercut the foundation for our government’s climate policies. The Endangerment Finding is the basis for a host of incredibly burdensome and wide-ranging regulations, ranging from auto fuel economy standards to the Clean Power Plan. These threaten access to affordable energy, as well as millions of jobs, and countless lives around the world. The finding has been used by other federal agencies to greatly expand their own regulatory programs, while other nations and international groups have relied on it to justify their own restrictions on affordable energy. The Endangerment Finding needs to be reexamined to ensure U.S. energy policy is based on sound science. We would appreciate the opportunity to further discuss these petitions with you. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Sam Kazman General Counsel Competitive Enterprise Institute October 17, 2017 The Honorable Scott Pruitt Administrator Environmental Protection Agency 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.

  • This Was Passed to File at the 10:00Am Hearing on May 23
    THIS WAS PASSED TO FILE AT THE 10:00AM HEARING ON MAY 23. 2018 BY ALAN CARLIN CASE NUMBER: PUR-2017-00162 Hi Why the SCC Should Not Grant Certificates of Public g Convenience and Necessity for Proposed Pleinmont ^ Solar Farm Development in Spotsylvania County, with @ Emphasis on Science and Particularly Energy ^ Economics Testimony by Dr. Alan Carlin, Fairfax, VA, at SCC Hearing on May 23, 2018 in Richmond, VA Oral Testimony I am Dr. Alan Carlin, a 39 year scientist/economist with the USEPA, retiring in 2010. I have a BS in physics from Caltech, and a PhD in economics from MIT, and have carried out, supervised, and published considerable research over the last 50 years on the economic and scientific aspects of environmental problems, particularly energy and electric power issues. Further details are in the written version of this testimony in opposition to the proposed Pleinmont Solar Farm Development in Spotsylvania County. Climate alarmists for many years have claimed that 97% of climate scientists agree that the earth is warming primarily because of human emissions of CO2. Science, however, is based on use of the scientific method, not who claims to have the largest number of supporters. As far as climate in general, it is true that many scientists dependent on a salary from the Federal Government support (whether they believe it or not) the 97% claim, but those believing otherwise do not dare say so, as they would not only be fired for deviating from the so-called "consensus," but also be blackballed from the industry, and financially ruined for life.
