The reports, assessments, and datasets featured here are primarily drawn from USGCRP's Global Change Information System, a web-based portal for Federal global change data and products. This page provides access to select relevant resources generated or sponsored by the U.S. Government and other authoritative scientific bodies, thereby fulfilling the requirement for a Global Change Research Information Office as mandated by the Global Change Research Act of 1990.
That looks like propaganda to you?
Understanding global change is critical to our Nation’s welfare and economic vitality.
The use of energy in general (primarily hydrocarbons) is highly correlated to world GDP.

Can We Really Hold On to the Industrial Age, with Virtually No Fossil Fuel Use?
This is one of the big questions. “Renewable energy” was given the name it was, partly as a marketing tool. Nearly all of it is very dependent on the fossil fuel system. For example, wind turbines and solar PV panels require fossil fuels for their manufacture, transport, and maintenance. Even nuclear energy requires fossil fuels for its maintenance, and for decommissioning old power plants, as well as for mining, transporting, and processing uranium. Electric cars require fossil fuel inputs as well.

Forcibly stifling the use of fossil fuels in the name of a "Climate Change" agenda will be far more catastrophic than the doom and gloom predictions put forth by such a profit-driven cottage industry.

Can we really hold on to the industrial age when we'll be spending hundreds of trillions of dollars to survive its effects? I'd also like to see the establishment of the causal relationship between fossil fuel usage and GDP that you take for granted.
The radical far right reactionaries love using the tactics of a Goebbels, a Streicher, an Alinsky. The wingnuts of the far right are easy to recognize by their tactics.

Mr Bedowin, how much CO2 does a nuclear power plant produce?
