Modern climate science is constructed on a foundation of belief. Svante Arrhenius is known as the “godfather” of the CO2 greenhouse effect. Today’s climate models are still based on his 1896 thought-experiment calculations of CO2’s imagined capacity to warm Earth’s surface (71% water) out of a frozen solid state by tens of degrees. His one-dimensional […]

CO2’s role in climate change is too small to detect in error-ridden attribution measurements. Downward longwave radiation (DWLWR) at the ocean surface “is among the most important components of the heat flux across the ocean-atmosphere interface, which, in turn, shapes the climate state of both the atmosphere and the ocean” (Peng et al., 2025). According […]

“The remaining 98.43% of climate forcing arises from sources other than anthropogenic CO2.” – Davis, 2025 When it comes to climate forcing, “atmospheric CO2 plays a minor and diminishing role in forcing contemporary global warming.” Key quotes from Davis, 2025 “As a result of today’s higher concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere, the radiative forcing […]

Global warming was significantly more pronounced in the early 20th century and prior to 1940, or back when CO2 emissions rates were 8.6 times lower than they were from 1983-2024. A new study using 60 million daily maximum/minimum temperatures from 1600 global weather stations across 29 countries indicates the globe warmed at a rate of […]

Recent warming is mostly due to natural climate factors…only 1/3 is attributable to the rising GHG concentrations. CO2’s impact on warming is likely wildly overstated. A recent paper by Ad Huijser, “Global Warming and the ‘impossible’ Radiation Imbalance,” published in Science of Climate Change, presents a detailed analysis that challenges the widely held assumption that rising greenhouse […]

The evidence keeps piling up. Climate sensitivity to an increase in atmospheric CO2 is effectively zero. Scientists Hermann Harde and Michael Schnell published a paper in 2021 entitled “Verification of the Greenhouse Effect in the Laboratory.” The study alleged to experimentally determine the atmospheric CO2 greenhouse effect not only exists, but functions in concert with physical […]

CO2 concentration increases are not the cause of rising temperature, but an effect of rising temperature. An independent researcher (Robbins, 2025) has reviewed recent research that suggests at least “80% or more of the [modern CO2] increase is of natural origin.” This is because “changes in atmospheric temperature are an ‘effect’ of changes in SSTs […]

Not only does CO2 have no discernible effect on climate, but any alleged anthropogenic role within the hypothetical greenhouse effect is not detectable either. In recent decades there has been a concerted effort to assert it is “settled” science to characterize variability in the atmospheric CO2 concentration – assumed to be modulated by human activity […]

“All in all, and contra to the IPCC reports, there is insufficient evidential basis for the use of carbon dioxide, et cetera, emissions – taken together, the IPCC’s Anthro – as climate policy variables.” − Green and Soon, 2025 A new evidence-based study provides compelling evidence that for decades the IPCC has been engaged “advocacy […]

Even if the entirety of the modern CO2 concentration increase is due to human activity, the impact (pressure) on global temperatures amounts to no more than 15-18%. In a new study, geology professor Dr. Wojciech Stankowski has summarized some of the reasons why the prevailing narrative that says humans can drive climate change by burning […]

“An increase in low cloud cover of only about 1% could largely compensate for the doubling of CO2.” – van Wijngaarden & Happer, 2025 Ph.D physicists detail just how insignificant CO2 is as a factor in climate change, revealing that doubling the CO2 concentration from 400 ppm to 800 ppm – a 100% increase – […]

The 2013-2022 warming trend and the extreme warmth in 2023 were “not associated with” declining outgoing longwave radiation induced by rising greenhouse gases. Instead, a new study published in the journal Science contends that decreasing cloud albedo and the consequent increase in ASR, or absorbed solar radiation (+0.97 to 1.10 W/m²/decade according to ERA5 and […]
