Net Zero: Bad data and faulty models leading us up the garden path again

 The UK government’s political project, to reach Net Zero by 2050, was adopted without democratic consent in 2019. There is no scientific basis for significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions as their effect on climate is limited.

Climate models are poorly designed and based on faulty data, including issues with weather station placements and adjustments that can misrepresent temperature trends.

The UK’s Net Zero initiative is misguided and detrimental, impacting agriculture, energy supply and the economy without contributing to climate improvement.

The political project, UK Net Zero by 2050, was undemocratically adopted by the UK government in 2019. Yet the science of so-called greenhouse gases is well known and there is no reason to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) or nitrous oxide (N2O) because of radiation absorption rates.

Adding to or removing these naturally occurring gases from the atmosphere will make little difference to the temperature or the climate. Water vapour (H2O) is claimed to be a much stronger greenhouse gas than CO2, CH4 or N2O but cannot be regulated because it occurs naturally in vast quantities.

Because of the nature of absorption of infrared radiation, most of the temperature change has already occurred and increasing CO2, CH4 or N2O concentrations will not lead to significant changes in air temperatures. This is because absorption is logarithmic (Beer-Lambert Law of attenuation) – a law of diminishing returns.

And there are many other variables which affect temperatures. The ocean is a huge heat sink (carrying heat away from the source) which moderates the global surface air temperature and absorbs CO2 (Henry’s Law)....<<<Read More>>>...
