Here are seven proofs that human CO2 does not control the CO2 level. My published papers describe these proofs, but this summary may help people understand these proofs.

Here are seven proofs that human CO2 does not control the CO2 level. My published papers describe these proofs, but this summary may help people understand these proofs.

Fundamentals:

• CO2 flows through the atmosphere as water flows through your bathtub.

• Half-life is how long it takes for the level to decrease by half with no inflow.

IPCC’s core theory:

• (a) Natural CO2 stayed constant at 280 ppm after 1750.

• (b) Human CO2 caused all the CO2 increase above 280 ppm, or 140 ppm today.

• (c) This theory makes human CO2 33% of today’s CO2 level of 420 ppm.

• (d) Human CO2 half-life is 1000 years. Here are seven proofs (not opinions) that show IPCC’s core theory is false.

1. IPCC argues, “Nature absorbs human CO2. So, nature cannot also emit CO2. So, human CO2 increased CO2.” This circular argument assumes (a) is true to prove (a) is true.

2. Natural CO2 and human CO2 flow independently through the atmosphere. When at equilibrium, the percent of human CO2 in the atmosphere equals the percent of human CO2 in the CO2 inflow, which IPCC says is about 5%. So, human CO2 is about 5% (or 20 ppm), not 33% (or 140 ppm) as IPCC’s core theory claims.

3. IPCC data show the natural CO2 half-life is 2.4 years. Human CO2 half-life cannot be 1000 years because human and natural CO2 molecules are identical, so their half-lives are identical, or 2.4 years. To get 1000 years, IPCC needs a fictitious magic demon to trap human CO2 and let natural CO2 go free.

4. Human CO2 has added only 1% to the total carbon in the carbon cycle, which adds only 4 ppm to the CO2 level. So, there is no climate emergency.

5. (D14C + 1000) measures the carbon-14 in a sample of carbon-12. The natural level of (D14C + 1000) is 1000. Human CO2 has no carbon-14, so it lowers D14C. If human CO2 were 33% of CO2, it would lower (D14C + 1000) from 1000 to 666. But (D14C + 1000) is still 1000. This proves human CO2 is insignificant to the CO2 increase.

6. Human CO2 cannot have caused the CO2 increase before 1955 because the sum of all human CO2 emissions before 1955 is less than the CO2 increase above 280 ppm.

7. The COVID-caused 20% decrease in human CO2 emissions did not slow the steady increase in atmospheric CO2 because natural CO2 causes the CO2 increase.

If you want a down to earth, succinct explanation as to why humans are not contributing to global warming, Dr. Ed Berry is the number one climatologist on the planet who makes sense.

The #1 proof that humans aren't increasing CO2 levels is that the Dims say humans are.

The #2 proof is that the Dims try to silence those who disagree with them.

This brings to mind the fearmongering about the hole in the ozone in the 60s and 70s. In the 80s or 90s they admitted the opening and closing of the ozone hole was a natural event.

So all those ladies with the beehive hairdos and hairspray in the 50s and guys with mullets didn’t actually cause the ozone hole and didn’t wipe out mankind.

That’s a pretty ingenious argument.

Recently enjoyed a video where a real scientist provided real facts. During both the 2008 financial crisis, and the Plandemic, human production of C02 fell dramatically. The increase in atmospheric C02 continued to increase.

For years I have used the Plant Food fact in discussion with any liberal who will listen. The real greening of the Earth is with C02. Besides all of the plant life on solid ground, there are billions of plants, large and microscopic, in our oceans. Heck, there are even little creatures that literally eat oil. When the Gulf oil spill happened, ‘scientists’ could not find half of the the estimated oil. Real scientists discovered huge plums of the ocean bacteria eating the oil plumes. According to NOAA, there are at least 7 bacteria that eat oil. This is no real surprise. A large amount of oil seeps into the ocean from the ocean floor every day. It is food to something.

If you’ve ever been deep sea fishing you discover the ocean is basically a giant soda pop. Any disturbance makes it fizz like champagne. The ocean is one giant belching CO2 reservoir.

still haven’t aught on...proof has no meaning if it contradicts the narrative.

” (a) Natural CO2 stayed constant at 280 ppm after 1750.”

(a) Natural CO2 stayed constant at 280 ppm BEFORE 1750.

And unfortunately, the #1 refrigerant in the world was thrown by the wayside because of “the science”. 1234yf will save the planet.... yeaaaaaa. Please clap.

Another article confirming the fact that “climate science” is nothing more than political theater. And not for the obvious reasons.

The atmosphere is not part of climate. It merely converts climate - which is a surface feature - into weather. Until science comprehends what climate is, we’ll be hearing these many “one hand clapping” arguments.
