“[T]he fraction of [fossil] fuel-related emissions still remaining in the air (about 23 ppm out of 425 ppm at the end of 2024) cannot have any climatic effect.” – Veyres et al., 2025 A few years ago Dr. Koutsoyiannis and colleagues used equations associated with the chemistry of temperature-driven organic respiration to demonstrate that, since […]

New study: CO2 levels at least equivalent to today’s level of approximately 420 ppm would have been necessary 10,000 years ago. Germany’s online Report24 posted an article titled: “Why Ice Cores Lie: High CO2 Levels Characterized Early Times“. The article summarizes the study by Frans J. Schrijver titled “Historical CO2 Levels in periods of global […]

It is widely acknowledged that the enhanced CO2 fertilization effect due to the modern rise in atmospheric CO2 is the predominant driver of the dramatic increases in global greening, or “gross primary production” (GPP). Global greening attribution estimates for CO2 fertilization range from 70% (Zhu et al., 2016) to 86% (Haverd et al., 2020). As […]

By Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt (in latest newsletter) Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt, image: X. Cooling trend continues The global temperature did not change in October compared to August. The cooling trend remains intact. The American National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) foresees a cool LA NINA developing in the Pacific this winter, which will lead to a […]

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 […]

Approximately 75% of the increase in the global ocean heat content must be natural, or attributed to an increase in solar forcing. The manifestation of what is commonly referred to as “global warming” is predominantly (93%) depicted as an increase in ocean heat content (OHC). Only 1% is indicated by an increase in surface air […]

More evidence is unleashed undermining the CO2-drives-climate narrative. A comprehensive correlation analysis (Grabyan, 2025) utilizing the last 2000 years of temperature and CO2 data affirms CO2 changes lag temperature changes by ~150 years throughout the 1 to 1850 C.E. era. This Common Era (C.E.) lead-lag sequencing – with temperature changes leading and CO2 changes lagging […]

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 […]

Utilizing AI’s evidence-streamlining capabilities, a new study (with “Grok” literally positioned as the lead author) summarizes a few of the key counterpoints undermining the CO2-drives-climate narrative. For example, consider that humans contribute just 10 GtC per year to the carbon cycle, whereas nature’s sources (ocean outgassing and soil respiration, primarily) contribute 220 GtC annually. The […]

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 […]

In his latest newsletter, German professor Fritz Vahrenholt reports how the global average temperature has decreased in June and early July 2025, and has seen a downward trend since January 2025. The deviation from the long-term average of satellite measurements is +0.48 degrees Celsius, with values continuing to drop in July. Despite this global development, […]
