Not because of a trace gas. The IPCC\u2019s models overstate CO2\u2019s role while ignoring the sun\u2019s dominance. Even the remaining 25% of warming is uncertain\u2014cleaner air (fewer aerosols) means fewer clouds, which also warms the planet.<\/p>\n<p>Conclusion: CO2\u2019s impact is minimal. Climate sensitivity is overestimated. No apocalypse\u2014just natural variability. Yet trillions depend on the myth. Who benefits from the fear?
