Solar activity, oceans cycles, & water vapor explain 98% of climate change since 1900, NOT CO2! Climate Change Drivers by Dan Pangburn, MSME Summary Thermalization and the complete dominance of water vapor in reverse-thermalization explain why atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) has no significant effect on climate.

The authors conclude that narratives are “used to positive effect” in peer-reviewed papers. It puts science on the slippery slope to becoming propaganda (or, in today’s jargon, “fake news”). Scientists achieve career success but destroy the […]
