Net Zero BUST: International Energy Agency report: ‘Far from falling rapidly…CO2 emissions reached a new record high’ in 2023

Reuters: Global energy-related CO2 emissions hit record high in 2023 – IEA # https://newsletter.climatenexus.org/20240302-iea-report-un-position-paper-methanesat-launch Clean Energy Growth Doubled, But Not Enough To Outpace CO2 Pollution: Global climate pollution rose 1.1% in 2023, with dramatic gaps between cuts by wealthy economies and increases in many developing markets, the International Energy Agency said in its annual emissions report, Friday.

Study: Elevation Of Early Holocene’s W. Antarctic Ice Sheet Once Plunged 480 Meters In 200 Years — When CO2 levels were much lower than today – Dwarfing any retreat rates of modern era

The Elevation Of The Early Holocene’s W. Antarctic Ice Sheet Once Plunged 480 Meters In 200 Years By Kenneth Richard on 26. February 2024 Retreat rates for the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) were massive during the Early Holocene, when CO2 concentrations were low and stable (~265 ppm), dwarfing any retreat rates witnessed in the modern era. New […]

Carbon Dioxide Causes Much Less Warming Than is Commonly Believed, New Paper Finds

Chris Morrison of the Daily Sceptic: Three scientists, including Atmospheric Professor Yi Huang of McGill University, have reduced by nearly 40% the basic amount of warming caused by a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide – a figure commonly used to promote the global warming scare. In addition they cast doubt on the ability of CO2 to heat the atmosphere beyond the levels already passed in the pre-industrial age. “Transmissivity in the CO2 band centre is unchanged by increased CO2 as the absorption is already saturated,” they note…It is published by the American Meteorological Society in its Journal of Climate.

Another sensational finding is that higher levels of CO2 seem to actually cool Antarctica. “The [doubled CO2] forcing in polar regions is strongly hemispheric asymmetric and is negative in the Antarctic,” write the scientists.

The main paper is behind a paywall but an excellent summary of its contents is provided by the science blog No Tricks Zone. The science is complex with the ‘Abstract’ explaining that the paper evaluates the “spatiotemporal variation of the instantaneous, longwave CO2 radiative forcing at both the TOA [top of the atmosphere] and surface”. In plain terms, the work investigates the rise in temperature at three levels in the atmosphere as the Earth adjusts its thermal balance from heat trapped by so-called ‘greenhouse’ gases. Using a watts per square metre formulation (3.7 W/m2), it is commonly held by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that a doubling of CO2 will lead to a rise in temperature at the TOA of 1.2°C. The scientists have reduced this number to 2.26 W/m2, a 39% reduction down to a temperature rise of 0.72°C. At the surface, the rise is only 0.55°C. Large parts of the globe are measured at 0 W/m2 including below zero for Antarctica.

Study: ‘Global greening is an indisputable fact…the rate of global greening increased’ from 2001-2020 – Published in journal Global Ecology & Conservation

  https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2351989423004262 Global Ecology and Conservation Volume 49, January 2024, e02791 Highlights • The global greening is an indisputable fact. • The rate of global greening increased slightly. • The drought has only slowed the global greening, but not caused the global browning. Abstract Increases or decreases in remote sensing-based vegetation greenness are usually referred to […]

Former German Minister warns government is using CO2 ‘like the virus’ to create a tyranny – ‘Why this longing for bans, renunciation & penance?’



Kristina Schröder — a minister in the Angela Merkel government for four years:
  “Corona is now over, now it’s about climate change.” …

Against the background of the experience of the pandemic, it is easy to imagine these future measures to contain the infection, pardon, CO 2 occurrence: There is a threat of requirements that affect our most private lifestyle. How we live, heat, move, travel and what we eat could soon no longer be an individual decision, but increasingly dictated by the state.” … 


“Why this indifference to the loss of freedom and prosperity?” And: “Why this longing for bans, renunciation and penance?”

‘CO2 readings from Mauna Loa show failure to combat climate change’ – Daily atmospheric carbon dioxide data more than double last decade’s annual average

New modeling study suggests plants might be able to absorb more CO2 from human activities than previously expected – ‘Paints an uncharacteristically upbeat picture for the planet’ – Published in journal Science Advances

https://phys.org/news/2023-11-absorb-co2-human-previously.html by Trinity College Dublin New research published in Science Advances paints an uncharacteristically upbeat picture for the planet. This is because more realistic ecological modeling suggests the world’s plants may be able to take up more atmospheric CO2 from human activities than previously predicted. … Simply planting more trees and protecting existing vegetation is […]
