by Ron Barmby Most people have a firm opinion on whether human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are causing unnatural global warming, and hold that opinion without understanding how the molecule physically absorbs and then releases heat energy. Understanding that mechanism reveals why today’s significant global CO2 emissions are insignificant to future global warming. Analogies… Continue Reading
by Vijay Jayaraj Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are killing our planet. People must reduce their carbon footprint. Both are popular claims that draw approving nods from some. However, neither is true. CO2 is an elixir of life, supporting plants for hundreds of millions of years and making virtually all life on Earth possible. Plants rely on… Continue Reading
In 2009, the United States Environmental Protection Agency, under the auspices of the Clean Air Act, falsely determined that carbon dioxide was a pollutant. This is known as the Endangerment Finding and has been used since then to enable EPA to regulate and control CO2 emissions. It is this authority that is being used… Continue Reading

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
