“The bottom-line summary of the author's opinion after research of the scientific literature is that carbon dioxide (<span class="caps" style="">CO</span>2) is not a major contributor to current global warming nor to Earth's paleoclimates.”

According to Leighton Steward, “In addition to being shown to not being a significant driver of current temperature change,<span class="caps" style="">CO</span>2 is shown to be a positive factor in Earth's ecosystems, a benefit to the plant (food) kingdom and thus the animal kingdom, which includes humanity.” <a href="http://desmogblog.com/h-leighton-steward#s4" style="text-decoration: none;">[4]</a></font></p><h2 style="line-height: 2em; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"> Affiliations</font></h2><ul style="margin: 1.5em 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px;"><li><p style="margin: 1em 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><a href="http://sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Plants_Need_CO2" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;"><strong>Plants Need Co2</strong></a> — President/Chair. <a href="http://desmogblog.com/h-leighton-steward#s8" style="text-decoration: none;">[8]</a></font></p></li><li><p style="margin: 1em 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><a href="http://sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Co2_is_Green" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;"><strong><span class="caps" style="">CO</span>2 Is Green</strong> </a>— <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/gwire/2010/07/14/14greenwire-ads-backed-by-fossil-fuel-interests-argue-co2-79814.html" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">Spokesman</a> and Chair.</font></p></li><li><p style="margin: 1em 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><a href="http://www.exxonsecrets.org/html/orgfactsheet.php?id=47" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;"><strong>Institute for the Study of Earth and  Man (<span class="caps" style="">ISEM</span>)</strong> </a>— <a href="http://smu.edu/isem/board.html" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">Chairman</a>. <a href="http://desmogblog.com/h-leighton-steward#s9" style="text-decoration: none;">[9]</a></font></p></li><li><p style="margin: 1em 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><a href="http://www.eogresources.com/about/officers_board.html" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;"><strong><span class="caps" style="">EOG</span> Resources </strong></a>—<a href="http://www.eogresources.com/about/officers_board.html" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;"> Director</a>. <a href="http://desmogblog.com/h-leighton-steward#s3" style="text-decoration: none;">[3]</a></font></p></li><li><p style="margin: 1em 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=American_Petroleum_Institute" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;"><strong>American Petroleum Institute (<span class="caps" style="">API</span>) </strong></a>— Honorary Director. <a href="http://desmogblog.com/h-leighton-steward#s3" style="text-decoration: none;">[3]</a></font></p></li><li><p style="margin: 1em 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><strong>Louisiana Land and Exploration Company</strong> — <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/1988/11/17/business/business-people-louisiana-land-gives-president-2-more-titles.html" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">Past President</a>, Chief Operating Officer and, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer.<a href="http://desmogblog.com/h-leighton-steward#s10" style="text-decoration: none;"> [10]</a></font></p></li></ul><h2 style="line-height: 2em; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"> Publications</font></h2><p style="margin: 1em 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">According to a search of Google Scholar, Steward has not published any articles in peer-reviewed journals on any subject.</font></p><p style="margin: 1em 0px;"><strong><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Books</font></strong></p><ul style="margin: 1.5em 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px;"><li><a href="http://www.plantsneedco2.org/default.aspx?act=documentdetails.aspx&Documentid=360&category=Recommended%20Reading%20List&MenuGroup=&SMID=375&SMSubID=&nosearchprompt=1" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">'Fire, Ice and Paradise', Steward, <span class="caps" style="">H.L.</span> (2009).</font></a></li><li><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><a href="http://books.google.ca/books?hl=en&lr=&id=Q9EAlBQC3c0C&oi=fnd&pg=PP9&dq=H.+Leighton+Steward&ots=x3CbQRuIlv&sig=pp4TYFgfofEnR_MXKBQU-t_JjyI#v=onepage&q=H.%20Leighton%20Steward&f=false" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;"><em>Sugar Busters!
