Peer reviewed skepticism

A fine skeptical journal article waded through Green Pal review. Wonder of wonders!
The journal is the American Journal of Economics and Sociology. The article title is perfectly clear: “Carbon dioxide and a warming climate are not problems”.
See
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ajes.12579But it is an “Early View Online Version of Record before inclusion in an issue,” so get it before it gets too hot for the Journal. I understand it is very popular, so the green screams are deafening.
Alas, it is paywalled, but the lengthy free Abstract is as clear as the title. Here is the conclusion:
“Observations show no increase in damage or any danger to humanity today due to extreme weather or global warming (Crok & May, 2023, pp. 140–161; Scafetta, 2024). Climate change mitigation, according to AR6, means curtailing the use of fossil fuels, even though fossil fuels are still abundant and inexpensive. Since the current climate is arguably better than the pre-industrial climate and we have observed no increase in extreme weather or climate mortality, we conclude that we can plan to adapt to any future changes. Until a danger is identified, there is no need to eliminate fossil fuel use.”
