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, […]

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 […]

Reconstructed ice core CO2 values and modern CO2 and CH4 measurements do not support the narrative that human emissions are driving changes in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. New research extensively reviews the “pitfalls” of believing the conventional wisdom about modern CO2 concentration variations, as well as the “flaws” in reconstructed CO2 values from ice cores. […]

It turns out the benefits of rising CO2 concentrations offsets any projected agricultural damage from climate warming. In 2023 US EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) activists dubiously raised the “social cost of carbon” (SCC) five-fold due to unsupportable forecasts of agricultural deterioration and declining crop yields resulting from doubled CO2 and consequent climate warming. The 500% […]

Warming effect of leaked hydrogen is almost 12 times stronger than CO2 Hat-tip: Klimaschau We’ve been told that hydrogen is now the savior of the energy transition. At some point, the green energy planners realized that the power grid cannot serve as a storage system. So a storage material without carbon had to be found: […]
