Carbon Dioxide Is NOT Causing ‘Climate Crisis,’ Study Warns

A group of leading climate scientists has issued a warning to governments and the public after conducting a study that debunks the globalist anti-carbon agenda.

Three scientists, including the world-renowned Atmospheric Professor Yi Huang of Canada’s McGill University, have published a study showing that carbon dioxide is not causing a so-called “climate crisis.”

They analyzed data that is frequently used to promote the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) “Net Zero” agenda.

However, even after doubling the current amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) in their calculations, the scientists found that figures quoted for the impact on “global warming” were exaggerated by at least 40 percent.

In addition, they found that CO₂ isn’t capable of heating the atmosphere beyond the levels already passed in the pre-industrial age.

“Transmissivity in the CO₂ band center is unchanged by increased CO₂ as the absorption is already saturated,” they note.

The study’s findings destroy the “settled” climate science that backs the collectivist “Net Zero” agenda of WEF and its allies.

As Slay News has reported, carbon dioxide has become increasingly demonized by corporate elites, globalist government officials, the WEF, the United Nations (UN), the World Health Organization (WHO, and other unelected bureaucrats.

In order to meet the goals of the “Net Zero” agenda, members of the general public will be expected to drastically reduce their quality of life while paying for major tax hikes to cover the cost of the scheme.

Sacrifices promoted by the WEF and UN include bans on private car ownership, restrictions on travel, eliminating the majority of the farming industry, replacing meat and dairy products with lab-grown and insect-based “foods,” and the introduction of digital IDs, CBDCs, “cashless societies,” and limits of privacy.

The head of the UN, Antonio Guterres, even expects the public to start living in mud huts to meet the “Net Zero” targets.

One idea often touted by WEF members is massive global depopulation.

As Slay News reported, one WEF member recently suggested a 90 percent reduction in the world’s population would “help” globalists meet their “Net Zero” targets.

Of course, these restrictions will only apply to the general public and not the powerful elites who need private jets to “save the planet.”

Meanwhile, the findings from the groundbreaking study are likely to be ignored by the corporate media.

It’s more likely that some activist “journalists” and scientists may seek to get the paper retracted.

For the time being, it is published by the American Meteorological Society in its peer-reviewed Journal of Climate.

The scientists didn’t only debunk the anti-carbon “global warming” narrative, however.

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.

None of this will be a surprise to regular readers since it would appear to be confirmed by observations that the region has shown “nearly non-existent warming” over the last 70 years.

The recent “mind-blowing’” scare over low levels of winter sea ice has been debunked by evidence from early weather satellites showing similar levels in 1966.

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 watts per square meter 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.

The inconvenient idea that CO₂ “saturates” above certain atmospheric levels, possibly at levels lower than current concentrations, has long been dismissed.

However, it does have the advantage of explaining the higher gas levels seen in the past.

Carbon dioxide only absorbs heat in narrow bands on the infrared spectrum and it commonly overlaps with other warming gases such as ubiquitous water vapor.

“The water vapor and CO₂ overlapping at an absorbing band prevents absorption by additional CO₂,” observe the authors.

The water vapor usually damps the doubled CO₂ forcing by reducing the energy additional CO₂ can absorb, they add.

The W/m² figure is a vital building block in attempts to put a figure on the final temperature rise caused by a doubling of CO₂, a process known as climate sensitivity.

Scientists also point to other influences, or forcings, on climate and these include feedback from many sources such as evaporation, ice albedo (reflection), and clouds.

For a “settled” scientific narrative, it is remarkably little understood how such feedback actually happens.

In fact, it is probably beyond accurate measurement in a chaotic, non-linear atmosphere.

The results of climate models over 40 years would appear to confirm that last statement.

None of this has stopped activist scientists from claiming double CO₂ warming between 2-6°C.

It is essentially a made-up figure often called a hypothesis – science-speak for an opinion.

Despite claims it cannot be “denied,” it is not a “theory” or a “law.”

It is an opinion that has remained unproven for over 50 years.

Not a single science paper can tell us what the climate sensitivity figure is.

Corporate collectivists insist that temperatures will rise by up to 6°C.

Yet, others suggest it is well below 1°C and indistinguishable from natural climate variation.

Despite all this, a majority of science papers preach climate doomsday scenarios using RCP 8.5 “pathway” modeled data that suggests the global temperature will rise by up to 4°C within less than 80 years.

Other green agenda “experts” use computer models to claim that they can attribute single bad weather events to long-term changes in the climate.

All of this is pseudoscience since it’s non-falsifiable and hence doesn’t meet the test of a scientific hypothesis.

It is however the lynchpin of the argument that there’s no point in debating climate science and all heretics should be silenced in the interest of drastic Net Zero-inspired economic and societal control.
