New Study: Human Emissions ‘Irrelevant’ In Determining Changes In Atmospheric CO2 Since 1959
New Study: Human Emissions ‘Irrelevant’ In Determining Changes In Atmospheric CO2 Since 1959 By Kenneth Richard on 2. September 2024 “The main factor governing the annual increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration is the SST [sea surface temperature] rather than human emissions.” – Ato, 2024 Another day, another new scientific paper has been published reporting efforts to curb anthropogenic CO2 emissions […]
Watch: Morano on Rebel TV on Elon Musk bizarre claims about CO2 & headaches
By Rebel News The Ezra Levant Show – RebelNews TV . Broadcast on August 16, 2024 On Friday’s episode of The Ezra Levant Show, Ezra was joined by Marc Monaco of Climate Depot to discuss Elon Musk’s bizarre claims about carbon dioxide. The Tesla CEO has been outspoken about global warming and even advocates for a carbon tax, some of […]
Elon Musk incorrectly claims rising CO2 will cause ‘headaches’ – Reality Check: MIT’s Dr. Lindzen: ‘CO2 is essential for life on our planet & levels as high as 5000ppm are considered safe on our submarines & on the space station’ & OSHA agrees
Donald Trump is clearly not buying Elon Musks’s obsession with Climate change & CO2. Musk is again creating fear: – CO2 levels below 150ppm = humans extinction – We are currently at circa. 423ppm. Alot closer to extinction than the 1000ppm that would make us ‘uncomfortable’. pic.twitter.com/SPuSJw2LdE — Marwan Nawaz (@MarwanNawaz) August 13, 2024 Experts […]
Freedom from Climate-Related Death Risk: Every 1% increase in population corresponded to a 53% increase in climate-risk safety
Freedom from Climate-Related Death Risk BY GALE POOLEY Our friend Bjorn Lomborg has updated his chart on climate-related deaths. Since the 1920s, the number of deaths has fallen by more than 97 percent. As the global population quadrupled over the century, the risk per million (of climate-related deaths) declined from 241 in the 1920s to 1.5 in […]
Global Greening Becomes so Obvious That Climate Alarmists Start Arguing We Need to nSave the Deserts’!
https://dailysceptic.org/2024/07/20/global-greening-becomes-so-obvious-that-climate-alarmists-start-arguing-we-need-to-save-the-deserts/ BY CHRIS MORRISON The world is ‘greening’ at an astonishing and rapidly growing rate and deserts are shrinking almost everywhere you look. All due, it seems, to a natural rise in carbon ‘plant food’ dioxide, not forgetting the small annual 4% portion contributed by humans burning hydrocarbons. Inconvenient to the political Net Zero narrative […]
After a trillion tons of CO2, the Great Barrier Reef hits record coral cover third year in a row – Despite predictions of climate doom
Jo Nova: Sixty percent of all human CO2 emissions have been emitted since 1985 but today the corals are healthier than ever …
“A record across the full 2,300 kilometer length of the reef…As [Scientist Peter] Ridd reminds us, in 2012 the AIMS team predicted the coral cover in the central and southern regions would decline to 5 – 10 percent cover by 2022. Instead the whole reef is thriving at 30 percent.”
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

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 […]
