In the years before his death, Teller began speaking out about the hysteria over [[global warming]], writing in ''[[The Wall Street Journal]]'' in 1997 that "the jury is still out" on whether gases such as [[carbon dioxide]] cause global warming, but in the event it does occur, [[science]] and [[technology]] can address any such effects far cheaper than overregulating the market with emissions restrictions.<ref>Teller, Edward. "The Planet Needs a Sunscreen".  ''The Wall Street Journal'', October 17, 1997.  Also reprinted in the [[Hoover Institution]]'s ''Hoover Digest'' 1998, No.1, full text at http://www.evolutionquebec.com/site/archives/teller.htm</ref>  He suggested the cooling caused by [[volcano|volcanic]] eruptions could serve as a model for the deliberate introduction of fine particles similar to those produced by volcanoes into the upper [[atmosphere]], which would mitigate any warming at a cost of between 0.1% and 1% of the cost of implementing the restrictions called for by [[environmentalism|environmentalists]].<ref>http://www.ncpa.org/pi/enviro/envpd/pdenv125.html</ref>

Edward Teller is also a signatory to the Global Warming Petition Project, a [[petition]] urging the United States government to reject the [[Kyoto Protocol]], a petition which also reads in part, "There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate."<ref>http://www.oism.org/pproject/pproject.htm</ref>
