Mighty Earth claims that JBS is using 'PR spin' to mask a lack of progress in its deforestation commitments. The organization asserts that JBS only monitors a small portion of its supply chain in the Amazon, ignoring the Brazilian Cerrado and legal deforestation, while failing to enforce existing policies against non-compliant suppliers.

The document contrasts a 1995 ALEC claim that global warming predictions were theoretical and lacked scientific consensus with the 1995 IPCC Assessment Report, which identified a "discernible human influence on global climate." It details ALEC's role in distributing "model" legislation to state legislators to oppose EPA carbon standards and repeal renewable energy standards, noting that ALEC's Energy, Environment, and Agriculture Task Force has included members such as BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Peabody Energy, and Shell.

The Union of Concerned Scientists challenges Peabody Energy's 2014 claim that the benefits of CO2 outweigh its costs by 'orders of magnitude,' asserting instead that the social costs of carbon pollution—such as drought, heat waves, and coastal flooding—far exceed any benefits. The document details Peabody Energy's repeated efforts to challenge the EPA's endangerment finding and the IPCC's findings, as well as its affiliations with industry groups like ALEC and ACCCE to promote climate disinformation.

The document refutes claims that green buildings are harmful to health, clarifying that an Institute of Medicine report on climate change and indoor environments does not actually discuss "green" buildings. It explains that while tight building envelopes intended for energy efficiency can conflict with ventilation needs, proper engineering and adherence to current standards prevent health issues like "sick building syndrome," which occurred in the 1970s and 80s due to drastically reduced ventilation rates.

The Union of Concerned Scientists addresses several claims from Michael Crichton's State of Fear that cast doubt on global warming. The document explains that regional cooling trends are compatible with global warming due to factors like sulfate aerosols, and that the urban heat island effect is a minor component of temperature trends. It asserts that CO2 is a primary driver of warming, though other factors like volcanic eruptions influence short-term trends. The text highlights the retreat of major ice sheets and the long-term persistence of atmospheric CO2 as urgent reasons to reduce fossil fuel dependence.
