Recommendable! Contra one of the major demagogueries of our times!
This article does not even include other major facts to counter the climate demagoguery! E.g. urban heat island effect and concomitant deliberate elimination of weather stations in colder, remote regions of the world. E.g. what about periodic solar activity? E.g. when did the last ice age end (hint around 1825)?
And, but not least, thanks to the home office the daily commute will be significantly reduced; thanks to enhanced video conferencing, the frequent business travels will be significantly reduced.
"... But worst of all, the Biden administration’s basis for these policies, the claim that global warming presents an “existential threat,” is fraudulent. It is not based on any scientific consensus, and in fact, it ignores evidence of environmental benefits of global warming that offset its harm. ...
Studies published in May 2015, July 2021, and August 2021 analyzed millions of deaths in numerous countries over recent decades and found that cooler temperatures kill several times more people than warmer temperatures ...
Matt Ridley’s February 2022 essay explained that global warming has increased both agricultural yields and growth of forests, grasslands, and tree leaves. ...

The facts regarding natural disasters also do not support the “existential threat” claim. The number of hurricanes per year, a 2021 EPA report shows, has not increased since the late 19th century. Moreover, although you wouldn't know it from the panicky, sensationalized news coverage, the total acreage burnt by forest fires annually has decreased, and most rivers flood less today than they used to.
Since 1920, Earth's average temperature has risen by 1.12 degrees [Celsius or Fahrenheit???] and the world population has quadrupled from less than two billion to almost eight billion. Even so, the number of people killed each year by natural disasters has declined by about 90%. ...There is also the global air pollution death rate, which has declined by about 45% over the last three decades. Again, no "existential threat" here.
Climate change comes with trade-offs — this is not a new idea.
A group of eminent scientists, including Richard Lindzen of MIT and William Happer of Princeton, wrote in 2017 that “observations [over the last] 25 years, show that warming from increased atmospheric CO2 will be benign.” ...
[The demagogues] rely on speculative [computer] “models” that supposedly project global temperatures and predict disasters. But these models are highly unreliable. In Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn’t, and Why It Matters, Obama Department of Energy Under Secretary for Science Steven Koonin shows that these models are unable even to reproduce the temperature changes of the 20th century. ..."
