FACTSHEET: Craig Idso
DETAILS
Chairman of the Board, Founder and Former President, Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change.
Graduate Research Associate, office of Climatology, Arizona State University.
C. Idso's current research focus is on carbon sequestration. He is the son of the Center for the Study of CO2 and Climate Change's President Sherwood Idso and brother of VP Keith.
From 2001-2002, C. Idso served as Director of Environmental Science at Peabody Energy in St. Louis, MO.
According to a newsletter from Basin Electric, a Western Fuels Association member company, Craig and Keith Idso produced a report, "The Greening of Planet Earth �Its Progression from Hypothesis to Theory," in January 1998 for the Western Fuels Association. Western Fuels Association is the suspected funder of the Center, though there is nothing more than circumstantial evidence. The Center does not reveal its funding sources.
B.S. in Geography from Arizona State University,
M.S. in Agronomy from the University of Nebraska - Lincoln,
Ph.D. in Geography from Arizona State University.
KEY QUOTES
22 April, 2004
"Although historical and projected future increases in the air's CO2 concentration and its wrongly-predicted ability to lead to catastrophic global warming have been universally hailed by climate alarmists as diabolically detrimental to human health, scientific studies clearly demonstrate that such is not the case."

"Suffice it to say, in this regard, that many dire things have been predicted to occur to nearly all forms of terrestrial and aquatic life on the basis of climate model predictions of catastrophic CO2-induced global warming, based on predicted future increases in atmospheric CO2 concentration and all sorts of assumptions about how various physical, chemical and biological phenomena might, or might not, interact with each other. What we essentially have in this situation, therefore, is a highly tentative and tortuous trail leading from anthropogenic CO2 emissions to sundry doomsday scenarios that spell devastation as severe as extinction for many types of life forms."

a CO2-induced decline in oceanic pH that leads to a concomitant decrease in coral growth rate -- it would appear that the catastrophe conjured up by the world's climate alarmists is but a wonderful work of fiction.

KEY DEEDS
3 November, 2003
With father Sherwood and brother Keith, co-authored a report entitled "Enhanced or Impaired? Human Health in a CO2-Enriched Warmer World," which argues that global warming and an increase in atmospheric CO2 would be a boon to humanity.
