Meridional transport is the main climate change driver Javier Vinós & Andy May – September 4, 2022 “No philosopher has been able with his own strength to lift this veil stretched by nature over all the first principles of things. Men argue, nature acts.” Voltaire (1764) 6.1 Introduction Climate is a thermodynamic process determined by… Continue Reading

A role for the sun in climate change Javier Vinós & Andy May – August 28, 2022 “Once you start doubting, just like you’re supposed to doubt. You ask me if the science is true and we say ‘No, no, we don’t know what’s true, we’re trying to find out, everything is possibly wrong’ …… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj With ice coverage for July and August remaining above the 10-year average of 2010-20, the extent of summer sea ice in the Arctic has surprised experts who once predicted that such levels would be impossible. This stands in stark contrast to the dominant climate narrative that predicts the dwindling of summer ice… Continue Reading
The climate shift of 1997 Javier Vinós & Andy May – August 22, 2022 “These shifts are associated with significant changes in global temperature trend and in ENSO variability. The latest such event is known as the great climate shift of the 1970s.” Anastasios A. Tsonis, Kyle Swanson & Sergey Kravtsov (2007) 4.1 Introduction While… Continue Reading

Open letter from Dr. Patrick Moore to British Columbia Liberal Leader Kevin Falcon
British Columbia Liberal leader Kevin Falcon has chosen cancel culture over free speech. Falcon recently removed British Columbia MLA John Rustad from caucus after Rustad retweeted messages from CO2 Coalition board member Dr. Patrick Moore. An open letter from Dr. Patrick Moore to Kevin Falcon in response to these actions follows: Dear Kevin, Is it… Continue Reading
Andy May – August 19, 2022 The SOHO Forum Debate began at 5:30PM (Central Time) on August 15, 2022 in the New York Sheen Center, as I announced here. Koonin won the Oxford Style debate since 25% of the in-person and online audience shifted to his view that the debate question: “Climate science compels us to make large and rapid reductions… Continue Reading
Andy May – August 15, 2022 There was a 49-to-24 percent pro-skeptic edge at the beginning but after the debate, the skeptics’ lead grew to 73-to-19 percent, wow. Maybe some of the skeptics pretended to be less skeptical in order to increase the positive shift caused by the arguments? Congratulations to Dr Koonin. Of course,… Continue Reading
Gregory Wrightstone – August 20, 2022 Imagine the theory of gravity being determined by a partisan vote. Or a group of politicians ruling on interpretations of the laws of modern physics. Bizarre as those propositions sound, that is what is happening in climate science. Scientific research is done predominantly in academia, where truth is supposedly… Continue Reading
CO2 Coalition member and coral reef scientist Dr. Peter Ridd provided a lengthy interview with in-depth background on the fabulous growth of the Great Barrier Reef to National Review. Remember that two decades ago both the polar bear and the Great Barrier Reef were the poster children of man-made warming. The polar is no longer… Continue Reading
Bob Zybach – August 27, 2021 The most deadly, destructive, and widespread catastrophic wildfires in Oregon’s history erupted on Labor Day this year, driven by strong east winds. But unless we change how our national and state forests are managed, these events will be just another chapter in this age of predictable, increasing, and ever-greater… Continue Reading
Javier Vinós & Andy May – August 15, 2022 “The atmospheric heat transport on Earth from the Equator to the poles is largely carried out by the mid-latitude storms. However, there is no satisfactory theory to describe this fundamental feature of the Earth’s climate.” Leon Barry, George C. Craig & John Thuburn (2002) 3.1 Introduction Nearly… Continue Reading
Tony Heller – August 9, 2022 [Context: The Biden Administration claims July was third hottest on record in the US. This claim has no basis in reality, and is what happens when there are no checks and balances to protect the public from intentional misinformation from government sources.] July temperatures were a little above average… Continue Reading
Javier Vinós & Andy May – July 31, 2022 “Probably no subfield of meteorology has had as much effort devoted to it as the effects of solar variability on weather and climate. And none has had as little to show for the research labor.” Helmut E. Landsberg (1982) 1.1 Introduction The sun has been identified as… Continue Reading
Javier Vinós & Andy May – August 7, 2022 “The complicated pattern of sun-weather relationships undoubtedly needs much further clarification, but progress in this field will be hindered if the view prevails that such relationships should not be taken seriously simply because the mechanisms involved in explaining them are not yet identified.” Joe W. King (1975)… Continue Reading
Gregory Wrightstone – May 27, 2021 What Climate Feedback gets wrong in its attempted takedown of CO2 Coalition commentary On Earth Day of 2021, the Washington Times published an op-ed that I wrote titled “There is no climate emergency – We love CO2 and so should you.” Not long after publication, the paper’s Facebook post… Continue Reading
By Norm Rogers – July 27, 2022 It’s hot out there; but Nevada Governor Sisolak’s prediction of doom lacks a scientific basis We are all suffering from global warming exhaustion. Google “Colorado River drought” to get more than a dozen pages screaming that because of global warming the end is near for the Colorado River.… Continue Reading
By Gregory Wrightstone – August 3, 2022 Recent flooding in Kentucky caused VP Kamala Harris to link it to climate change and one resident told Sky News that the flooding is the “worst I’ve ever seen.” That is likely true, but not very meaningful in terms of weather or climate history. His grandparents and great grandparents,… Continue Reading
By Gregory Wrightstone – August 1, 2022 On Jul 30, 2022, LinkedIn blocked or took down the CO2 Coalition page with no warning. The only explanation of our silencing was the notice at the top of our page: Only Page Admins can see this Page. It’s been removed because it goes against our Professional Community… Continue Reading

Why the Sun, Not CO2, Heats the Oceans Revisiting the Debate: Does Greenhouse Back-radiation Warm the Oceans?
By Jim Steele – August 1, 2022 Because infrared heat waves penetrates less than a millimeter into the ocean’s surface, many skeptics argued it is impossible to blame rising CO2 for ocean warming. However, several prominent skeptic scientists, people who I have great respect for, also weighed in arguing it was silly and useless to… Continue Reading
By Andy May – July 30, 2022 Andrew Dessler and Steven Koonin will debate the resolution “Climate science compels us to make large and rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.” Dessler will take the affirmative, and Koonin will take the negative. Dessler is a Professor of Atmospheric Science at Texas A&M University and Koonin is… Continue Reading
By Joseph D’Aleo – July 23, 2022 Nearly every area of the mid-latitudes will see summer heat during the high sun angle summer months. Some years the extremes are greater and more persistent than other years. Ocean temperature patterns, solar drivers and local factors including soil moisture, and foehn wind events play a key role in… Continue Reading
By Gregory Wrightstone & Gordon Tomb – July 22, 2022 As the imposition of a tax on the use of fossil fuels is debated in Pennsylvania and Virginia, along comes an analysis showing the failure of such efforts to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide in the name of saving the planet. Under a multi-state compact… Continue Reading
It is with a heavy heart that we report on the death of dear friend and colleague Pat Michaels on July 15, 2022 (born February 15, 1950). Patrick Michaels obtained a B. A. in biological science in 1971 and an M. S. in biology in 1975 from the University of Chicago, and in 1979 he… Continue Reading
