As 2014 draws to a close, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in our work, as well as to plead for your new, or continued, financial support in 2015.

For the past 17 years our organization, the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change, has worked tirelessly to educate the public with factual reports and sound commentary on the climatic and biological effects of the ongoing rise in the air's CO2 content. Our primary means for meeting this objective has been through the publication of our Internet website CO2 Science, where we have published and archived literally thousands of reviews and editorials on topics of current concern in the global warming debate.

Those of you who have perused our website and who are familiar with our work know that no other organization in existence provides as wide or as deep of a scientific analysis of the issues surrounding the global warming debate as we do. Because of this, our work has served as the backbone of a multitude of major scientific reports, including those recently issued by the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change, in challenging the inconsistencies, errors, and falsehoods of the climate alarmist narrative, which portrays CO2 as a pollutant that must be regulated in order to avoid catastrophic consequences to the climate and biosphere. Because of the work we do, we know that nothing could be further from the truth. Carbon dioxide is a life-giving and life-sustaining molecule with a multitude of virtues that benefit nature and humanity alike.

Doing the work of our Center is more than just a job for us; it is our passion. It engages us at dawn, sustains us through the day, and keeps us working far into each night. As 2014 comes to a close and a new year begins, I ask you to help us continue our work in educating the public on this most important topic by making a donation today. As a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, our Center relies upon public contributions to exist. If you have found our material useful, please make a generous donation so we can continue our work in 2015. We need your help and we pledge to do all we can to continue to produce the quality material that is worthy of your support. Donations may be made using your credit card or PayPal account by entering a donation amount (in US dollars) in the field below and clicking on the donate button. Or, you can contribute by sending your check or money order to the address listed below.

Thank you for your generosity and please continue to help the Center's sphere of influence grow by informing your family, friends and colleagues of our work.

With kindest regards,

Craig D. Idso
Chairman
