For years, we’ve been told that CO2—a trace gas at just 0.04% of the atmosphere—controls Earth’s climate. But a new study in Science of Climate Change exposes the flaw: The data doesn’t add up.
– 93% of warming is in the oceans, yet their temperatures jump erratically, ignoring CO2’s steady rise.
– 1963–70: Cooling. 1970–80: Warming. Post-2000: Stability. Why? Natural solar cycles, clouds, and aerosols—not CO2.
– Satellite and ARGO data confirm: Earth warms when solar input increases. Not because of a trace gas. The IPCC’s models overstate CO2’s role while ignoring the sun’s dominance. Even the remaining 25% of warming is uncertain—cleaner air (fewer aerosols) means fewer clouds, which also warms the planet.
Conclusion: CO2’s impact is minimal. Climate sensitivity is overestimated. No apocalypse—just natural variability. Yet trillions depend on the myth. Who benefits from the fear? The science is settled—just not how they claimed.
