CO2 Alarmism: Science or Superstition?
American Thinker ^ | September 15, 2025 | Brian C. Joondeph

When Americans hear about carbon dioxide (CO2), it’s often shown as a harmful pollutant that threatens the planet. Politicians, activists, and media outlets warn that if we don’t reduce emissions right away, disaster will happen. 

Preeminent “climate scientist” Al Gore told Congress in 2007, “The science is settled. Carbon dioxide emissions - from cars, power plants, buildings, and other sources - are heating the Earth's atmosphere.” He continued warning, “The planet has a fever.”

What if the fever is instead a cold plunge? As CNN reminded us earlier this year, “Record-breaking cold: Temperatures to plunge to as much as 50 degrees below normal.”

The Weather Channel posted on Facebook last week, “Record-breaking cold temperatures for the month of August provide many their first taste of fall.” What happened to global warming?

Let’s not focus on the last year or the last fifty years. Instead, let’s look at the past 600 million years. From this perspective, the story looks very different.

Dr. Patrick Moore, cofounder of Greenpeace, authored a policy paper in 2016 titled, “The positive impact of CO2 emissions on the survival of life on earth.” Note the organization he cofounded. This is not some far-right, anti-science, fascist, Nazi, white supremacist organization, as the left would characterize anyone questioning “settled” climate science. Since its founding in 1971, Greenpeace has promoted environmental activism.

Dr. Moore, in his paper, presented the graph below.

The graph caption indicates that temperature and atmospheric CO2 are only loosely correlated, if at all.

It's a graph of global temperature and atmospheric CO2 concentration over the past 600 million years. Note both temperature...

Agriculture would benefit enormously from a little additional CO2, as would rain forests.

Neither, it is a psyop to garner more control over the people... I have yet to see proof of used motor oil causing cancer, not even in Ca where the psyop was invented. Yet the psyop has taken over the whole nation and created hardships including businesses shutting down because they cannot afford to comply to the government control and regulation.

We’re alive despite the decades of alarmist predictions. New York and Miami are not under water. This real life science experiment says the alarmist claims were false.

No, Al - THIS science is "settled":

Gotta give him credit...his specific brand of fraud didn't further impoverish a small country like the Clintons with Haiti.

on shorter time frames over the last couple million years—you can see that its temperature that drives co2 levels not the other way around

There ought to be awards for the most prodigious C02 production. The Ultimate Greening Of The Earth Awards

The more C02 in the atmosphere, the more green the planet.

There could be awards for C02 contributions: weekly, monthly, annual, and yes The Lifetime C02 Achievement Award.
