The Truth About Climate Change
Let the Real Climate Experts Speak
We see, hear and read a lot about a ‘human-caused climate crisis leading to imminent extinction of life on the planet.’ We hear about the ‘goal of net zero CO2’ or ‘net zero carbon.’
The climate change issue has taken on a religious fervor and crusade in many circles and by millions of people who believe we are on the path to the end of life on earth due to climate change. On the other side of the spectrum are those who dismiss the idea there is a climate crisis at all - much less one caused by humans.
The debate over climate change is hot and heavy. So what’s the truth? What does the true science say? (At the end of this article, the driving forces behind the climate agenda are given.)
Scientific Principle #1: The Climate Changes!
The first and most fundamental scientific principle and fact is that earth’s climate has been changing for billions of years. Climate has undergone dozens of volatile ups and downs throughout history, going through several heating and cooling cycles - each lasting thousands, hundreds of thousands or millions of years. And CO2 levels have changed over that time as well.
Here are some graphs illustrating this. Look at the ups and downs just over the past 2,000 years.
Let’s take a much longer look - the past 450,000 years:
Here’s a look at the past million years. Note the cyclical temperature swings.
Here is the most recent temperature graph from a peer-reviewed study conducted by E.J. Judd, et al, A 485-Million-Year History of Earth's Surface Temperature:
Since CO2 is at the heart of the climate debate, here is the timeline of planetary CO2 levels. (CO2 levels were dropping to dangerous, life-threatening levels. CO2 levels and the vital importance of CO2 are discussed in the Climate Science section below.)
These are natural (of or related to nature) cycles caused by
the sun
earth’s orbit around the sun
natural, evolutionary changes in the earth itself
Scientific Principle #2: Pollution vs Climate Change
Pollution is a serious threat to life in the world - but is not a driver of climate change. Toxins and carcinogens dumped into the soil, water and air cause all sorts of harmful effects:
Medical conditions and diseases such as cancers, respiratory illnesses, blood disorders and fatigue
Depletion of nutrients in soil, which results in nutrient deficiencies in food, which in turn lead to increases in various illnesses and a general decline in health
Lower-quality or toxic air and water, the two most important things all life needs to live.
A deteriorating environment that is less pleasant to live in, which can become foul and depress quality of life.
So pollutants are a serious, life-threatening condition which must be handled and resolved. Rational, common-sense environmental policies are needed, and carcinogenic and toxic products should be banned - for obvious and multiple reasons.
The technology exists to reduce pollutants from current energy-production systems to a bare minimum or even zero!
What is needed is the will and decision to USE that technology - not ban the use of fuels such as coal, natural gas or oil. We HAVE the technology to keep the air, soil and water clean and clear of pollutants from existing energy generation systems. All we have to do is install and use that technology.
And we can certainly ban all carcinogenic and toxic products - we just need the will to do so.
We can have our cake and eat it, too.
We can keep our economies humming with coal, oil and gas-driven systems while employing technologies to absorb and clean the resulting pollutants, preventing them from entering soil, air and water.
Rational environmentalism means applying basic, common-sense policies to prevent pollutants and toxins from poisoning our air, soil, food and water. Tree-hugging, over-the-top, hysterical, radical, extremist environmentalism is unnecessary and counter-productive.
However, as detrimental to health and life as pollution is, the climate isn’t changing because of it.
So the second scientific principe is that there is an enormous difference between pollution and climate change.
The Climate Science
Let’s have actual, legitimate climate experts answer the question: Is there a climate crisis caused by humans?
“There is no climate emergency.” - Declaration signed by 1,860 scientists
“There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.” - Declaration signed by over 31,000 scientists and experts
https://defyccc.com/oregon-petition/
“There Is No Climate Emergency, Say 500 Experts in Letter to the United Nations
Natural as well as anthropogenic factors cause warming.
Climate policy relies on inadequate models.
CO2 is not a pollutant. It is a plant food that is essential to all life on Earth. Photosynthesis is a blessing. More CO2 is beneficial for nature, greening the Earth: additional CO2 in the air has promoted growth in global plant biomass. It is also good for agriculture, increasing the yields of crops worldwide.
Global warming has not increased natural disasters.
Climate policy must respect scientific and economic realities.
There is no climate emergency. Therefore, there is no cause for panic.”
“There is no climate emergency. The faux urgency of the climate crisis is giving us no time or space to build a secure energy future… I object to the manufactured consensus for political purposes, a manufactured consensus of scientists at the request of policy makers.” - Dr. and Prof. Judith Curry, one of the world’s leading climate experts
“Climate science is awash with manipulated data, which provides no reliable scientific evidence… The false and manipulated data are an egregious violation of scientific method. There is no risk that fossil fuels and carbon dioxide will cause catastrophic warming and extreme weather.” - Prof. William Happer and Prof. Richard Lindzen, climate experts

Article 2 here
“All global warming observed in the past 24 years can be attributed to increased solar energy absorption due to reduced cloud cover, not rising CO2 levels. This is not theory. It comes directly from satellite data that NASA has provided. It’s on their website.” - Dr. Ned Nikolaev and DR. Karl Zeller
“Natural climate variability caused the 2023 global warming spike of 0.29C. A recently published paper found that the 2023 global warming spike was driven by the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO).
“ENSO is an internal variability in the climate system (a natural climate variability) that comprises a positive phase, El Niño, and a negative phase, La Niña. It occurs every few years, typically every 3-7 years, in the tropical Pacific Ocean, affecting global temperatures, winds and atmospheric conditions.
“According to the study, it is ENSO, and not external factors such as ‘emissions’ due to human activity, that caused the 0.29oC spike (give or take 0.04oC) in global temperatures last year. And it’s not the first time on record that ENSO has caused such a spike.”

Dr. Ronan Connolly, climate scientist, dispels myths and disinformation about climate change, and provides the full science on what is actually occurring - and has occurred in the past - with the earth’s climate.
Climate insiders speak:
“One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. Instead, climate change policy is about how we redistribute de facto the world's wealth.” - Ottmar Edenhofer, Professor of the Economics of Climate at the Technical University of Berlin, and lead author of the IPCC's fourth summary report released in 2007, speaking in 2010.
“The true aim of the U.N.'s 2014 Paris climate conference was to change the (capitalist) economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution.” - UN climate chief Christiana Figueres
“No matter if the science is all phony, there are collateral environmental benefits. ... Climate change [provides] the greatest chance to bring about justice and equality in the world.” - Christine Stewart, Canada's former Minister of the Environment
Dr. Willie Soon, astrophysicist and geoscientist, debunks climate change propaganda.
“There is NO climate crisis. OVERVIEW of the FACTS:
Human produced carbon dioxide is not causing the climate to change.
The global temperatures and CO2 levels have been changing between extremes for millions of years!
Only 0.3% scientists (not 97%) believe humans are causing climate change!
The amount of human-produced CO2 in the atmosphere is negligible!
Increased CO2 is not causing weather extremes!
CO2 is safe, good and not a pollutant!
“Human produced CO2 is causing climate change" is political!
- The Right Climate Stuff
“The climate emergency is fiction. Although ostensibly the IPCC [UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] is a scientific body, the findings of its scientists are frequently distorted and hyped by the government and NGO [non governmental organizations] bureaucrats who dominate the organization. The bureaucrats have played a major role in exaggerating the scientific conclusions of successive IPCC reports and escalating the rhetoric of its official pronouncements.” - Dr. Ralph Alexander, physicist
“Demonizing CO2 and fossil fuels impoverishes humanity, has no impact on climate, negatively impacts the economy, threatens national defense, reduces plant production.
“Mother Nature is the cause of climate change. Human influence is minor. Weather events are not getting worse. Carbon dioxide is GOOD.
“There is no Climate Crisis.”
- Tom Moser, NASA engineer
“UN claims that human-caused CO2 emissions are imperiling the planet are totally garbage. CO2 doesn’t cause a change in temperature. Global warming causes more CO2.” - Dr. Edwin Berry
“CO2 follows temperature, which, itself, is due to solar activity. During the ice ages, we had great temperature variations, and this has to do with, not straight-up solar activity, but the amount of solar activity that is hitting the Earth at certain important latitudes, all caused by celestial events.” - Prof. Ian Clark, Dept. of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Univ. of Ottawa
“A ‘climate crisis’ has scant scientific support. Today's climate isn't ‘broken.’ Fears of future catastrophes depend upon extreme scenarios fed into models entirely unsuited to the task
“Precipitous and ill-considered responses to climate fears are a greater threat to well-being than anthropogenic climate change.
“Advocacy for overly rapid global decarbonization is immoral Ill. Overly rapid national decarbonization will be disruptive, expensive, and will degrade national security.”
- Prof. Steve Koonin, climate scientist
“First and foremost, CO2 is plant food. More CO2 means more plant growth. More CO2 helps to feed more people worldwide. Current CO2 levels are near record lows. We are CO2 impoverished.” - The CO2 Coalition
“The climate-change scheme and net-zero carbon policy are based upon a false notion that carbon dioxide and other gases cause global warming. They do not. We don’t have to guess about this. We have empirical and scientific proof.” - James T. Moodey

“It is beyond me why my colleagues would utilize the media to push an unsupported agenda that recent hurricane activity has been due to global warming. I found it a bit perplexing that the participants in the Harvard press conference had come to the conclusion that global warming was impacting hurricane activity today. To my knowledge, none of the participants in that press conference had performed any research on hurricane variability, nor were they reporting on any new work in the field. All previous and current research in the area of hurricane variability has shown no reliable, long-term trend up in the frequency or intensity of tropical cyclones, either in the Atlantic or any other basin. The IPCC assessments in 1995 and 2001 also concluded that there was no global warming signal found in the hurricane record.” - Dr. Christopher Landsea, meteorologist

“The ‘environmental’ movement has become more of a political movement than an environmental movement. They are primarily focused on creating narratives, stories, that are designed to instill fear and guilt into the public so the public will send them money.” - Patrick Moore, founder of Greenpeace
“Climate Change: Alarmists ignore how changes in the sun and earth's motion dwarf CO2's power; ignore major cooling forces; suppress highly qualified dissenters; and alter data - all to hype CO2 hysteria.”
“The goal of the Climate Alarmists is to reduce CO2 levels to zero. Current CO2 is 422.17 particle per million (PPM). The optimum amount of CO2 for plant life is 1000-1200 PPM. The point at which plants suffer is 10,000 PPM. The point at which all life begins to die - plant, animal and human - is 250 PPM. Therefore a net zero CO2 would mean a dead earth devoid of any life whatsoever.” - Helena Glass

“It's not CO2... It's H2O! Water vapor plays a crucial role in Earth's climate system, acting both as a natural greenhouse gas (GHG) and as a participant in the hydrologic cycle. It's the most abundant GHG in the atmosphere, surpassing carbon dioxide (CO2) in its greenhouse effect contribution.
“Water vapor is recognized as a key climate variable, the most important gaseous source of infrared opacity in the atmosphere, and accounts for about 60-80% of the natural greenhouse effect for clear skies.”
- Dr. Matthew Wielicki

“Overall, the Antarctic ice shelf area has grown by 5305 km2 since 2009, with 18 ice shelves retreating and 16 larger shelves growing in area. Our observations show that Antarctic ice shelves gained 661 Gt of ice mass over the past decade, whereas the steady-state approach would estimate substantial ice loss over the same period, demonstrating the importance of using time-variable calving flux observations to measure change.” [1Gt = 2.2 trillion pounds, or 1 trillion kg]

“Blaming climate change for every tragic weather event is easy and convenient. However, this can be a dangerous oversimplification that ignores the role of policy and infrastructure failures in exacerbating these disasters.
“For instance, the devastating floods in Germany in 2021 were not caused by climate change, but by the failure of local and regional governments to adequately manage floodplains and build resilient infrastructure.
“Similarly, the wildfires in Maui in 2023 were fueled by a combination of failed infrastructure and poor land management practices.
“Wildfires in Canada were mostly arson. Poor forest management is the second reason. Nothing to do with climate change.”
- Dr. Matthew Wielicki
“The U.N. is planning for countries to cut emissions to as close to zero as possible by 2050. The plan is collective suicide. It started with the hysteria of the New Ice Age and a little-known CIA report in 1974 that claimed that a major climatic change was underway. Later, the ‘global cooling’ alarmism morphed into its opposite, by employing the false notion of global warming due to excess CO2 - which is chemically a falsehood.” - Malgosia Askanas, senior research and development associate at Aurora Biophysics Research Institute

“To what extent are temperature levels changing due to greenhouse gas emissions?The results [of these studies] imply that the effect of man-made CO2 emissions does not appear to be sufficiently strong to cause systematic changes in the pattern of the temperature fluctuations. In other words, our analysis indicates that with the current level of knowledge, it seems impossible to determine how much of the temperature increase is due to emissions of CO2.” - John K. Dagsvik and Sigmund H. Moen
“While the scientific community has become addicted to blindly using these computer programs to fix the data biases, until recently nobody has bothered to look under the hood to see if the programs work when applied to real temperature data. When we looked under the hood, we found that there was a hamster running in a wheel instead of an engine.” - Dr. Ronan Connolly, climate scientist
“NOAA has been criticized for allowing more than 90 percent of its climate stations to be affected by the urban heat bias, The Epoch Times reported in January, citing scientists and a separate study examining NOAA’s temperature records. By 2022, about 96% of the stations failed to meet the agency’s own standards for reliability.” - Anthony Watts, meteorologist.
“Wallace Manheimer (Renowned American physicist): Leaders of climate science societies are suffering from mass delusion.
“Wallace Manheimer argues that there is no scientific basis for expecting a climate crisis from increased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere within the next century and the emphasis on a false climate crisis is becoming a tragedy for modern civilisation.
“His research debunks many fashionable claims surrounding politicised “settled” climate science. And he argues that “Net Zero” policies would be disastrous, unreliable and expensive, both in the United States and globally. He has also expressed dismay at learned societies making definitive claims despite the availability of contrary information.”
“I don't think there is a catastrophic climate change happening at all; it's just cyclical. What we have observed now and the warming that we have observed pretty much ended in the late '90s, so we are now at a plateau in terms of temperature.” - Dr. Ned Nikolov
“The argument that climate change is ‘settled science is no more. Scientists and researchers are now stepping forward to declare that the narrative is fake. Many are arguing that while the climate changes, there is no climate emergency.” - Alex Newman
“Climate change is based on false narratives. The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [IPCC] is not a science organization. It is a political organization. The IPCC hires scientists to provide them with ‘information’ that supports the ‘climate emergency’ narrative.” - Dr. Patrick Moore
Who is Behind the Climate Agenda?
From all the above studies, we see there is no climate crisis, much less one caused by humans or ‘cow farts’ or any other factor listed by climate cultists.
But we do have a serious and life-threatening pollution problem as discussed earlier. It’s important to differentiate between the very real pollution crisis vs. the manufactured and false climate ‘crisis.’
The climate ‘crisis’ was conjured up in the late 1960s by the Rockefeller Foundation and Club of Rome. This ‘crisis’ and its resulting climate agenda were adopted by the UN and sold to the world. Various global oligarchs and organizations have jumped onto this climate bandwagon - to include Bill Gates, Prince/King Charles, Queen Maxima, the WHO, WEF, European Union/European Commision, U.S. Democrat party and others.
The climate agenda is being orchestrated by this consortium of global oligarchs, global corporations and governments. These articles give full details, documentation and names names:

Excellent info. I especially appreciate the part about "pollution vs. climate change" because it is differentiating the two. I hate seeing how the public has been manipulated by twisting them together, appealing to our sense of common good. The same thing was done during Covid with "Wear a mask, save an elderly person's life". So with climate change, its "buy an EV and save the children".
Excellent article, very well assembled. I’d also point out that CO2 has minimal impact to warming beyond 100 ppm. CO2 also overlaps almost entirely with water vapor, which is much more abundant in the atmosphere.
