Professor Ross McKitrick: CO2 is NOT the villain: ‘Extra CO2 isn’t like sulfur or ozone—it’s good for plants. It’s caused global greening, improved crop yields, even turned deserts green’

 

3/4 CO2 Is Not the Villain

Most of what you hear in the media is ridiculous. The normal, sensible work never makes the papers.

Wind Energy is Like a Railroad With Missing Tracks

Imagine building a railway… with 3-mile gaps every 10 miles. Still cheap? Sure. Still useful? Not at all.
That’s wind power without a reliable backup.

Wind Energy is Like a Railroad With Missing Tracks

 

Imagine building a railway… with 3-mile gaps every 10 miles. Still cheap? Sure. Still useful? Not at all.
That’s wind power without a reliable backup.

 

This thread unpacks four eye-opening clips from Professor Ross McKitrick, an economist at the University of Guelph. 

 

McKitrick has spent decades researching climate policy, energy economics, and environmental data.

His work cuts through the noise, and he doesn’t mind being unpopular for telling the truth.

 

2/4 Storage Systems Are a Fantasy

 

You need a way to store some of the excess electricity. Build a lake in the sky? Batteries the size of a country? No one can even conceive of it.

 

McKitrick on why energy storage is the fantasy holding up green dreams.

 

The storage systems aren’t there. They’re so expensive that fossil fuels are still the cheapest and most reliable.

McKitrick flips the narrative:

 

Extra CO2 isn’t like sulfur or ozone—it’s good for plants. It’s caused global greening, improved crop yields, even turned deserts green.

 

Yet this upside of CO2 rarely makes headlines.
