Humans are not creating a global warming crisis.

See Studies show Earth warming more slowly than predicted by Craig Idso and James M. Taylor, in 10-21-13 San Antonio Express-News. Craig Idso, Ph.D., is the founder of the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change and co-editor of the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change. James M. Taylor is senior fellow for environment policy at The Heartland Institute. Excerpts:
"...sound science continues to deliver blow after blow to claims of a global warming crisis."

"On Sept. 17, the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change released Climate Change Reconsidered II: Physical Science, or CCR-2, containing more than 1,000 pages of scientific research indicating global warming is not an impending crisis. Forty-seven scientists contributed to CCR-2, presenting nearly 5,000 citations of peer-reviewed studies exposing flaws in global warming alarmism."

"The following week, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC, released its Fifth Assessment Report, which backtracks on many prior IPCC predictions and contradicts many of the most frequent assertions made by global warming activists."

It "...contradicts claims that global warming is causing more extreme weather, acknowledges global warming is occurring more slowly than the IPCC previously predicted and predicts less future warming than previous IPCC reports."

"Several peer-reviewed studies published during recent weeks reinforced the lack of a global warming crisis. For example, a study in the peer-reviewed Nature Climate Change reported global warming is occurring more slowly than what was predicted by 114 of 117 climate models relied on by the IPCC and other government agencies. Real-world warming is occurring at merely half the pace projected by most climate models..."

"... Earth is undergoing substantial greening as a result of higher carbon dioxide levels and more-favorable weather conditions."

"Global hurricane frequency is undergoing a long-term decline..."

We have "...the longest period in recorded history without a major hurricane strike. Tornado activity is in long-term decline..."
