There is an excellent video at the site of Don Easterbrook testifying before the Washington Senate. If anyone knows how to download the video to a dvd, please let me know. I've looked on YouTube & can't find it there. This is one to share...

This is from March, but I didn’t find it in a search of recent or older articles. It’s one that folks interested in the climate change/global warming hoax will want to see.

Data? We don’t need no stinkin’ data!
To: Twotone
Well, Im bringing data, he said. Youll hear very few opinions from me. When Im finished, you wont be asking what my opinions are. Unfortunately the people pushing global warming (AKA "climate change") have only their opinions and don't want to hear about data.
The EPA is a political tool of the Left and has nothing to do with science - unless, of course, it's created.

The bill passed in the Senate. I don’t know if the WA House has heard it yet. Hopefully, this will give everyone reason to go slow.
Oregon is also trying to pass a bill for some form of carbon tax. We just need to keep pushing the truth in front of their noses.

Just a day earlier, the entire Senate had approved SB-5802, which sets aside $250,000 to form a task force that would explore ways reduce CO2 emissions in the atmosphere based on the belief that CO2 depletes the ozone layer and causes global warming. The House had approved a companion bill the previous week and Gov. Jay Inslee is expected to sign it into law. From the article you linked.
I assume the idiot Govenor signed it...?

I guess I didn’t get that far in the article. The video was so excellent I didn’t bother to read the whole thing. No doubt the gov signed it. But...if they had any smarts they could rescind.

What you may not be aware of is that theres almost no CO2 in the atmosphere, he said. Its 39/1000ths of a percent. And since the 1950s, that number has increased by only 8/1000ths of a percent. Thats about as close to nothing as you can get. Theres not enough CO2 in the atmosphere to do much of anything, he said. Then you add to that the fact that CO2 only accounts for about 3.6 percent of the greenhouse effect, and you discover that carbon dioxide by itself is incapable of having any real effect on climate change.
Good stuff!

A great book to read on this subject is “Red Hot Lies” by Christopher Horner...GREAT book.
One of the things he talks about is the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere and how small it is, and he also talked about the AGW (anthropogenic global warming) crowd who view the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere as being like a window that someone has whitewashed.
AGW people liken the effect of CO2 in the atmosphere to that of a window that has been whitewashed and its effect on incoming light.
They make the comparison that if you use a weak whitewash on a window, some light will still come in.
Then you put another coat, and less light comes in.
Then you paint another coat and even less light comes in. As you keep adding coats, eventually no light comes in through the window.
This comparison, in their minds, is directly analagous to the warming effect of CO2.
Except that it doesn’t work that way. Warming can be slightly increased by increasing levels of CO2, but you reach a point where it isn’t linear. They think it is linear, you increase CO2 by this much, the insulating value goes up by this much.
In reality, as the concentrations increase, the insulating value increases by less and less until the curve flattens out.
Now, if you have an atmosphere like Venus, that is a different thing because CO2 is no longer a trace gas, it is predominant. But Earth isn’t Venus.
