Measurement of CO2 Concentrations Through Time

When recording historic levels of CO2 concentration, records from air bubbles in Antarctic ice cores are regarded as the gold standard for paleo-atmospheric global CO2 concentrations during past interglacial and glacial periods over the last 800,000 years.  Antarctic ice-core data are openly available from the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) and have been studied…

We Can Still Avoid the Net Zero Trap

Radiative transport of energy in the atmosphere can be easily calculated using fundamental physics. These calculations confirm the observations that greenhouse gases play a modest role in climate warming. The important conclusion from theory and measurements is that there is no man-made climate crisis. However, climate models – constructed by governmental organizations – predict a…

Net Zero Averted Temperature Increase

R. Lindzen, W. Happer, and W. A. van Wijngaarden June 2024 Many people are surprised by how little warming would be averted from adoption of net zero policies. For example, if the United States achieved net zero emissions of carbon dioxide by the year 2050, only a few hundredths of a degree Celsius of warming…

Nutritive Value of Plants Growing in Enhanced CO2 Concentrations (eCO2)

We are pleased to announce the publication of our latest research report Nutritive Value of Plants Growing in Enhanced CO2 Concentrations (eCO2). Despite many years of claims that increasing concentrations of CO2 are an “existential threat” to life on Earth, one cannot identify any harm that has been done. In fact, the only clear result…

Wyoming and Climate Change: CO2 Should Be Celebrated, Not Captured

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report examines the actual and projected effects of the climate on the State of Wyoming in response to proposals to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) through the use of “carbon capture” in order to avert purportedly catastrophic atmospheric warming. This research concludes that Wyoming – like the planet – is benefiting…

The Role of Greenhouse Gases in Energy Transfer in the Earth’s Atmosphere

By W. A. van Wijngaarden, Department of Physics and Astronomy, York University, Canada and W. Happer, Department of Physics, Princeton University, USA We discuss the basic ways greenhouse gases affect radiation transfer in Earth’s atmosphere. We explain how greenhouse gases like water vapor, H2O, or carbon dioxide, CO2, differ from non-greenhouse gases like nitrogen, N2,…

200 Years of Fossil Fuels and Climate Change (1900-2100)

G. Shanmugam Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, The University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, Texas 76019 ABSTRACT The geologic record shows that the Earth’s climate has always been changing naturally during the past 600 million years in terms of CO2 and temperature, without CO2 emissions from Fossil Fuels by humans. There were both warming…

CO2 Coalition Submits Comment on EPA’s Proposed Power Plant Regulations as Dangerous and Unscientific

Release: Immediate July 21, 2023 Download entire comment here (pdf) ARLINGTON, Va. – A proposed federal rule to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from power plants should not be adopted because it scientifically invalid and would endanger lives by denying people the benefits of fossil fuels and increasing levels of CO2, according to two eminent physicists.…

Scientific Paper Concludes Refrigerants’ Gases Pose No Threat to Climate

A paper by two members of the CO2 Coalition, Arlington, Virginia, suggests that the promoters of man-made warming in the international community are promoting the expenditure of large sums of money on replacing certain refrigerants whose capacity to warm the atmosphere is of little consequence. The authors are Drs. William van Wijngaarden, formerly chairman of…

Impact of Changing Greenhouse Gas Concentrations on Ontario’s Climate

by W. A. van Wijngaarden The effect of changing greenhouse gas concentrations, most notably carbon dioxide, CO2, on climate was examined. In particular, calculations of the climate sensitivity, the warming of the Earth due to a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide, are discussed. Greenhouse gas concentrations, as determined from air bubbles trapped in ice as…
