CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images A new U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) report was released on July 29: A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate. Below are miscellaneous comments on certain claims in the Report, so this is a review of some statements appearing in the critical review by the DOE. Many of the thoughts below are based on, or extended from, studies that have been published in book form. Statements From Foreword Written By Energy Secretary, Chris Wright. One: “I’m a physical scientist who sees modern energy as nothing short of miraculous. It powers every aspect of modern life, drives every industry, and has made America an energy powerhouse with the ability to fuel global progress.” This is a glowing accolade, which is largely true. But we have to remember that progress is often accompanied by, or left with, things that are detrimental to society. In the case of energy, things such as the Superfund program, managed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, addresses the cleanup of hazardous waste sites left behind by industrial activities. Waste sites have been leftover from oil and gas drilling. There are also plastics, largely made from chemicals like olefins that come from breaking of crude oil molecules. Plastics from water bottles to car interiors are a big part of mountainous landfills and trash dumps in the oceans. Scotland has a new program that incinerates trash that is not biodegradable. There is evidence that the rise in autism is caused my microplastics that cling to many of the fast foods or processed foods we eat. Two: “The rise of human flourishing over the past two centuries is a story worth celebrating. Yet we are told—relentlessly—that the very energy systems…
