Reexamining the global warming narrative: Insights from “The Satanic Gases” by Patrick J. Michaels and Robert C. Balling Jr.

 Patrick J. Michaels and Robert C. Balling Jr. argue in "The Satanic Gases" that mainstream panic over global warming is politically motivated rather than scientifically sound, criticizing figures like Al Gore for exploiting extreme weather events for political gain.

The authors demonstrate that climate models have consistently overstated warming trends, with real-world data showing minimal temperature increases in over 80 percent of the troposphere — undermining claims of rapid climate change.

Contrary to apocalyptic predictions, rising CO? levels enhance plant growth, agricultural productivity and ecosystem health, with studies confirming a global "greening" effect.

Federal funding and institutional incentives bias research toward alarmism, with scientists incentivized to perpetuate exaggerated narratives despite contradictory evidence.

The Kyoto Protocol and similar mitigation efforts are deemed costly and futile, with the authors advocating instead for adaptation strategies and evidence-based policymaking free from political distortions.

In "The Satanic Gases: Clearing the Air about Global Warming," climatologists Patrick J. Michaels and Robert C. Balling Jr. present a bold challenge to the mainstream narrative on climate change.

They argue that much of the panic surrounding global warming is politically driven rather than scientifically justified. Their book dismantles the alarmist claims often promoted by figures like former Vice President Al Gore, who has built his career on framing extreme weather events as direct consequences of human-caused climate change. Michaels and Balling contend that these incidents are exploited for political gain rather than reflecting genuine scientific consensus....<<<Read More>>>...

UK researcher teams up with Australian tour operator to spread a rumour that “the UK” is considering Carbon Passports

 Over the last week, it has been reported in several outlets that “the UK” is considering implementing “Carbon Passports” to restrict Brits from travelling by aeroplane.

After digging a little deeper, “the UK” turns out to be a lecturer at a UK university, Ross Bennett-Cook, citing a report commissioned by an Australian tour operator, Intrepid Travel.

We have to wonder how Bennett-Cook and Intrepid Travel hope to benefit from spreading this dystopian message because, as Australian Senator Malcom Roberts said last year, the climate fraud “is driven by globalist politicians and directed by parasitic billionaires.” And it is the parasitic billionaires who will profit from this criminal activity....<<<Read More>>>...

Climbing CO2 levels fuel agricultural triumph—and spark a climate debate

 Soaring carbon dioxide emissions, long branded as planetary poison, have paradoxically fueled a global “greening” of Earth’s vegetated areas—and made fruit crops hardier. The findings, analyzed alongside climate skepticism, reveal a scientific and political divide reshaping the climate change discourse. 

A groundbreaking study in Nature Climate Change revealed that up to half of Earth’s vegetated land has greened since 1982, with CO2 fertilization driving 70% of the change. This “greening” equates to an area twice the size of the United States, transforming landscapes from North Carolina strawberry fields to Iceland’s barren highlands.

Rising CO2 levels act as a “carbon fertilizer,” supercharging photosynthesis in plants. In greenhouses, tomato yields jump 80% when CO2 reaches 1,000 ppm—a level far above today’s 430 ppm—and strawberries gain extra sugars. Even space exploration benefits: elevated CO? boosts vitamin content in lettuce grown in simulated Martian conditions.

But the gains aren’t just in labs. Global warming itself aids agriculture. Extended growing seasons cut frost risks for orchards, with U.S. yields benefiting from a two-week longer growing period since the 1910s. Vulnerable crops like grapes and blueberries, which once perished in unseasonal freezes, now survive warmer springs...<<<Read More>>>...

CO2 revolutionizes greenhouse farming revolution globally, decentralizing the food supply

 As governments and corporate elites push draconian climate policies—carbon taxes, energy rationing, and forced deindustrialization—the truth about carbon dioxide (CO2) remains buried under layers of fearmongering. While activists scream about an “existential climate crisis,” farmers and scientists are quietly harnessing CO2 to multiply crop yields, defeat famine, and revolutionize agriculture. A groundbreaking study published in Horticulture Research shatters the mainstream narrative, proving that elevated CO2 levels turbocharge plant growth, delivering bountiful harvests in greenhouses worldwide. But don’t expect Al Gore or the UN climate experts to mention this. The climate industrial complex thrives on deception, not solutions. Meanwhile, CO2 is revolutionizing greenhouse farming, decentralizing the food supply, allowing communities to break free from corporate control over their food supply.

Key points:

• CO2 is a plant nutrient, not a "pollutant," and greenhouse growers deliberately inject it (up to 1000 ppm) to boost yields by 80% or more.
• China, Spain, and the U.S. are leading a greenhouse farming revolution, leveraging CO2 to grow food in deserts and urban wastelands—proof that emissions can feed the world.
• While the EPA shuts down power plants in the name of "climate change," farmers beg for more CO2 to combat global food shortages.
• Rising atmospheric CO2 (now ~420 ppm) is replenishing levels that were far higher during Earth’s most fertile epochs—long before SUVs existed.
• The climate cult’s war on CO2 is a war on human survival, sabotaging food security to advance a globalist control agenda....<<<Read More>>>...
  

The carbon cost of AI reasoning: A new environmental challenge

 As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve, its environmental impact is becoming a growing concern. A recent study has revealed that advanced AI reasoning models, designed to provide more accurate responses, can generate up to 50 times more carbon dioxide (CO?) emissions than their less sophisticated counterparts. This finding raises critical questions about the sustainability of AI technologies and their role in contributing to climate change.

The study, conducted by a team of researchers led by Maximilian Dauner at Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences in Germany, was published on June 19 in the journal Frontiers in Communication. The research highlights the environmental trade-offs associated with the quest for more accurate AI models.

The study focused on the carbon emissions produced by different large language models (LLMs) when answering a series of questions across various topics, including algebra and philosophy. The researchers used the Perun framework to analyze the performance and energy consumption of 14 LLMs, ranging from seven to 72 billion parameters, on an NVIDIA A100 GPU. They then converted the energy usage into CO? emissions, assuming each kilowatt-hour of energy produces 480 grams of CO?.

It found that reasoning models, which use a "chain-of-thought" approach to break down complex problems into smaller, logical steps, were significantly more energy-intensive than their more concise counterparts. On average, reasoning models generated 543.5 tokens per question, compared to just 37.7 tokens for concise models. This disparity in token generation led to a substantial increase in CO? emissions....<<<Read More>>>...

Physics debunks climate alarmism: CO2 cannot overheat the planet – IT FEEDS THE WORLD

For decades, fearmongering politicians, corporate elites, and captured media have weaponized climate science to justify draconian regulations, wealth redistribution, and the destruction of modern energy systems.

Yet two of the world’s leading physicists — MIT’s Richard Lindzen and Princeton’s William Happer — have dismantled the so-called "climate crisis" with irrefutable physics. Their groundbreaking research proves that rising CO? levels cannot cause dangerous warming or extreme weather — but they do dramatically increase global food production, greening the planet and fighting starvation.

Key points:

CO? is not a "pollutant": At today’s atmospheric concentration (~420 parts per million), CO?’s greenhouse effect is saturated, meaning additional emissions have negligible impact on temperature.

Historical data contradicts alarmism: Over 600 million years, CO? levels were often 10x higher than today — with no runaway warming. Ice ages and warming cycles predate industrialization.

More CO? = more food: Doubling CO? to 840 ppm could boost crop yields by 40%, reversing famine threats. Plants thrive on this "miracle molecule."

Climate models fail: Government-pushed computer simulations overheat by 200–300% compared to real-world data. The IPCC’s "97% consensus" is a rigged political tool.

Net Zero = economic suicide: Eliminating fossil fuels would cripple agriculture (via nitrogen fertilizer loss), spike energy poverty, and cost $275 trillion by 2050 — with no climate benefit....<<<Read More>>>....

Global greening surges 38%, but media silence reinforces “climate crisis” narrative

 A groundbreaking global study, published by Spanish researchers Gutierrez-Hernandez and García, has uncovered a 38% rise in vegetation growth across landmasses over the past four decades—yet this environmental success story has vanished from mainstream media. 

Using advanced statistical methods, the team’s “True Significant Trends” (TST) analysis confirmed rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO?) as a primary driver of reforestation, greener deserts and record crop yields. But instead of celebrating these findings, outlets like The Guardian and BBC have opted for silence, clinging to alarmist climate narratives despite hard data undermining claims of ecological collapse.

The study, published in Climate Dynamics, found that nearly three-quarters of observed trends show greening, with browning confined to arid regions struggling against natural cycles—not human activity. Simultaneously, U.S. climate scientists note a 1% annual wheat yield boost from CO? enrichment since 1850, while UNESCO data reveals North American wildfires at 25% of 1600–1900 levels. Yet campaigners persistently label CO? a “climate pollutant,” even as evidence piled up that Earth’s ecosystems are thriving in this “gas of life”-enriched era...<<<Read More>>>...

Global Greening From Higher CO2 Hits “Striking” New Heights – but the Mainstream Media Won’t Tell You About It

 Significant new evidence has emerged of widespread and significant increases in plant vegetation across the Earth due to the recent rise of the trace gas carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Using what they describe as True Significant Trends – a workflow programme integrating sophisticated spatial and time-period data – a geographer and an agrobiologist in Spain found “robust quantitative evidence” of widespread global greening, describing it as “striking” – “with a significant portion of Earth’s terrestrial land surface showing measurable increases in vegetation cover over the last four decades”.

This is the CO₂ story that dare not print its tale in the mainstream media. Recent dramatic world vegetation boosts are easily tracked by satellite, and estimates of growth range around 14-20% over just 40 years. Recent scientific work has found the rate of greening has actually been increasing since the turn of the century. Ask Grok for recent coverage of this important trend in the BBC and Guardian, and the answer comes back with none since 2016. Global greening heads a long list of taboo subjects for captured journalists promoting the political Net Zero fantasy. Also on the not-to-do list is the pause of the Arctic sea ice extent since 2007, the continued strength of the Gulf Stream, record growth for three years of coral on the Great Barrier Reef and North American wildfires in the last 100 years running at barely a quarter of those recorded back to 1600....<<<Read More>>>...

Carbon Dioxide is Good for the Planet

 Kemi Badenoch, the Tory leader of the Opposition, has stated that the quest to reach Net Zero by 2050 is in fact “impossible”. This has of course brought condemnation from officialdom. 

Without showing any evidence of self-awareness, Ed Miliband, the Labour Government’s Energy Secretary, accused her leadership of being “off to the Wacky Races” because of the statement. 

It would seem that here in the UK the official narrative, which leads towards a self-flagellating zero carbon future, must be upheld. This is despite many global players, including the USA, China and India, rejecting the unrealisable goal. Internationally, there isn’t the political will to seriously stop carbon fuel use, and the UKs sack-cloth-and-ashes approach is very damaging to both public finances and the environment, by industrialising countryside. As Ben Pile points out climatism maybe dying in parts of the world, but not here in the UK and EU.

The fear-narrative is also promoted by governmental institutions. Professor Stephen Belcher, the Met Office Chief Scientist, recently said: “The latest planetary health check tells us that earth is profoundly ill” – a statement which is based upon the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide allegedly being at the highest level in the last 800,000 years. The Chief Scientist here is not just reporting facts, but passing a value judgement on what level of carbon dioxide is good for the health of the planet....<<<Read More>>>...

While scientific evidence shows CO2 is life-sustaining, the “official narrative” continues to gaslight its crucial role in our world

 Emerging scientific evidence challenges the narrative that carbon dioxide (CO2) is harmful, highlighting its role in global greening, increased agricultural yields and biodiversity restoration.

Studies indicate the atmosphere is already saturated with CO2, making additional emissions negligible in driving global temperature increases, contradicting the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (“IPCC”) predictions of catastrophic warming.

Research shows that rising CO2 levels (e.g., from 100 to 400 ppm) result in minimal temperature increases (e.g., 0.3°C), with no additional warming beyond 400 ppm.

CO2 drives photosynthesis and plant growth, with satellite data showing a 20-30% increase in global greening since 1982, particularly in regions like India and the Sahel.

Despite scientific evidence, mainstream media and political agendas continue to push Net Zero policies, ignoring CO2‘s life-sustaining benefits and its positive environmental impact...<<<Read More>>>...

The green revolution: How CO2 is saving the planet, not destroying it

 In an era dominated by climate alarmism and the relentless push for Net Zero policies, a growing body of scientific evidence is challenging the narrative that carbon dioxide (CO2) is a planetary villain. Peer-reviewed studies and respected scientists are now revealing that CO2 is not only harmless but actually beneficial to the Earth, driving a global greening phenomenon that is feeding the world and restoring biodiversity. Yet, this groundbreaking research is being systematically ignored by the mainstream media, which remains wedded to a politically motivated climate agenda.

Recent studies published by the CO2 Coalition and other independent scientific groups have shown that rising CO2 levels are not the existential threat they’ve been made out to be. In fact, the atmosphere is already “saturated” with CO2, meaning additional emissions have a negligible impact on global temperatures. This saturation effect, long argued by climate skeptics, explains why historical CO2 levels—10 to 15 times higher than today—did not lead to runaway warming. Instead, CO2 is proving to be a boon for plant life, driving a “green revolution” that is increasing agricultural yields and greening vast swaths of the planet...<<<Read More>>>...

£22 Billion on Carbon Capture? It’s Hard to Think of a More Stupid Waste of Public Money

 The Government has pledged nearly £22bn for carbon capture and storage projects in a move that has united sceptics and alarmists in condemnation of the expensive and unproven technology. BBC News has more.

The Government said the funding for two “carbon capture clusters” on Merseyside and Teesside, promised over the next 25 years, would create thousands of jobs, attract private investment and help the U.K. meet climate goals.

Sir Keir Starmer, who is to visiting the north-west of England with Chancellor Rachel Reeves and Energy Secretary Ed Miliband to confirm the projects, said the move would “reignite our industrial heartlands” and “kickstart growth”.

But some green campaigners have said the investment would “extend the life of planet-heating oil and gas production”.

Carbon capture and storage facilities aim to prevent carbon dioxide (CO2) produced from industrial processes and power stations from being released into the atmosphere.

Most of the CO2 produced is captured, transported, and then stored deep underground...<<<Read More>>>...

The Sun, not CO2, drives the Earth’s climate, a new study says

 A report from the IPCC indicates that Earth’s warming trend is not caused by human-related activities but by changes in the planet’s albedo.

Ned Nikolov – a scientist specialising in climate, cosmology and astrophysics – and Karl Zeller – a climate scientist and Nikolov’s longtime research associate – argue that the IPCC’s data interpretation of the data is flawed and that atmospheric pressure plays a more significant role in global warming than greenhouse gases.

Nikolov and Zeller suggest that the IPCC has misrepresented, and potentially falsified, CERES, data on solar and long-wave radiation to fit the prevailing narrative of human-induced climate change, specifically by inverting trends in solar energy absorption.

Based on his analysis of NASA’s CERES data, Nikolov suggests that 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 my theory,” Nikolov said. “It comes directly from satellite data that NASA has provided. It’s on their website.”

Zeller criticised the IPCC’s data interpretation, noting that their models present misleading trends by inverting the actual measurements, showing an increase in albedo....<<<Read More>>>...

God’s breath of life and the satanic war against CARBON

People who oppose CO2 are at war with carbon – including the climate alarmism groups cutting down trees and sequestering carbon.

"They're at war with CO2, which is the miracle molecule provided by God, and this is not a coincidence. So the climate agenda is opposed to the breath of life and the miracle molecules of God," he said.

"The climate agenda is rooted in Satanism – the destruction of life on Earth, the ecosystem, humanity, the food supply, the plants and animals and everything that is on God's green Earth. Everything described in [the book of] Genesis that God created, the climate agenda is trying to destroy."

According to Adams, the satanic climate agenda pushers want to eliminate all CO2 from the atmosphere using massive carbon sequestration projects. These projects will suck CO2 out of the air and store it underground – depriving the world's forests, food crops and grasslands of this molecule, and reducing photosynthesis and food crop production as a result.

Plants, crops, rain forests or trees won't grow without CO2, and higher levels of this are good for the planet and result in more green areas. Moreover, increased CO2 will help increase rainfall in many areas as the oceans are slightly warmed. Even government agencies like the National Aeronautics and Space Administration are now admitting that slightly rising levels of CO2 over the past century are greening the Earth.

"So those who are at war with CO2 are at war against pollinators, honeybees, bumblebees and what have you – they're at war against God. They're at war with life on Earth. They're at war with humanity,"...<<<Read More>>>...

Sunlight and clouds, not CO2, responsible for planetary climate changes

Ned Nikolov, a physical researcher and scientist affiliated with Colorado State University, is speaking out about the false claims of the United Nations (UN) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concerning the agency's claims that carbon dioxide (CO2) is destroying the planet.

On August 14, President Biden released a National Heat Strategy for 2024-2030 report in which the IPCC's propaganda against CO2 is prolific. Nikolov wants the world to know that both Biden and the IPCC are "completely wrong" in their assessment of what factors impact the climate.

"The greenhouse theory claims that atmospheric composition is important," he said. "They are arguing that tiny increases of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere cause global warming and that we must stop burning fossil fuel to avoid dangerous climate change. This is completely wrong."

The co-chair of the IPCC Working Group I, by the way, is a Chinese climatologist by the name of Panmao Zhai who is aggressively pushing anti-CO2 propaganda on the world.

"Stabilizing the climate will require strong, rapid, and sustained reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, and reaching net-zero CO2 emissions," Comrade Panmao is quoted as saying.

Carbon dioxide and a warming climate are not problems, peer-reviewed paper says

 According to a peer-reviewed paper published in the American Journal of Economics and Sociology in May 2024, “Carbon dioxide and a warming climate are not problems.”

The authors, Andy May and Marcel Crok, argue that the sceptical position on dangerous man-made climate change is supported by a comprehensive literature review. In other words, those who are disparagingly labelled by the establishment as “climate change deniers” have credible evidence on their side.

The main argument made in May and Crok’s paper is that the evidence presented by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (“IPCC”) to support the claim that human-caused climate change is dangerous is not convincing.

Firstly, the IPCC claims that human greenhouse gas emissions are the “main driver” of warming since 1979, but this is disputed. Natural climate oscillations like the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (“AMO”) can explain a significant portion of the 20th century warming.

The AMO is a cyclic phenomenon of sea surface temperature (“SST”) anomalies in the North Atlantic Ocean. It has a significant impact on global weather patterns. The theoretical measure of the variability of the SST of the North Atlantic Ocean is called the AMO index.

The AMO index oscillates between positive and negative phases. During the positive phase, the North Atlantic Ocean experiences warm SSTs, while during the negative phase, SSTs are cooler. The AMO index is associated with shifts in hurricane activity, rainfall patterns and intensity, as well as changes in fish populations....<<<Read More>>>...

CO2 is the GREENING molecule: New study shows how elevated CO2 levels increase vegetation growth and WATER AVAILABILITY in the Northern Hemisphere

The Democrat’s Green New Deal proposes a war on carbon dioxide, investing in methods to sequester this all-important atmospheric gas under the ground. However, according to new research, elevated CO2 levels are not only important for vegetation growth, but also play a role in maintaining water availability in the Northern Hemisphere. Artificial carbon capture and other geoengineering projects could be the main driving force behind wildfires, droughts and collapsing water tables in the Northern Hemisphere.

The study, published in Environmental Research Letters, reveals significant changes in the relationship between vegetation growth and water availability in the Northern Hemisphere's mid-latitudes over the past three decades. The research, led by Yang Song and colleagues, highlights the impact of elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) levels on this relationship, suggesting a closer relationship between vegetation growth and water availability than previously understood.

The very compound that the Democrats are targeting – CO2 – is actually the solution to preserving croplands, grasslands, forests and water supplies for growing populations....<<<Read More>>>...

Prof. William Happer: “More CO2 is good for the world”

Why is CO2 good for the world?

“If you look at the geological history … we’re in a CO2 famine now compared to what’s normal for plants. And just about any plant if you give it more CO2, and a lot more, it will do better … most greenhouses double or triple the amount of CO2 … because the plants grow so much better – the quality of the flowers and the fruits are so much better,” Prof. Happer said.

He further explained that since the Cambrian explosion of life “CO2 levels have gone way down.”

The Cambrian explosion refers to the rapid and sudden emergence of complex life forms on Earth, approximately 541 million to 530 million years ago. It is believed to have laid the foundation for the incredible diversity of life on Earth, with many modern animal groups emerging during this period.

The high levels of carbon dioxide during the Cambrian period may have played a crucial role in the evolution of life on Earth. Studies suggest that carbon dioxide concentrations during the Cambrian period were much higher than they are today. One study found that CO2 levels were 1,000 parts per million (“ppm”) and R.A. Eggleton’s book ‘A Short History of Climate Change’ stated that CO2 levels may have been as high as 4,000 ppm during the Cambrian period, compared to the current level of around 400 ppm.

“[CO2 levels have] typically been three, four, five times than they are now. And plants are adapted to much higher levels and so they’re harmed in a number of ways by the low levels [of CO2] now,” Prof. Happer explained.

One of the harms to plants with low CO2 levels is photorespiration. Photorespiration is an important aspect of plant metabolism and plays a fundamental role in plant growth and development. When CO2 is low, “the enzyme [plants] use is poisoned by oxygen if there’s not enough CO2, so plants have to devote a lot of their resources to detoxifying this oxygen poisoning [instead of to growth],” he explained.

“If you double CO2 [the plants] don’t have to work as hard to protect themselves from oxygen. That’s the main reason greenhouses work better is that you get rid of the oxygen poisoning – the photorespiration,” he said.

“It’s unbelievable that they’ve managed to turn this beneficial gas, a part of life, into a threat,” he added. He continued:

“They talk about carbon pollution. I can’t imagine what they’re talking about. We’re made of carbon, and we breathe out two pounds of CO2 a day, each of us – that’s 8 billion people....<<<Read More>>>....
