Yes, any gardener can affirm higher CO2 in your greenhouse will give you staggering results. I kept mine at 1800 ppms for years. The CO2 threat to the planet is the biggest farce outside of Covid.

CO2 would be 360 ppm which is waaaay less than the 3.6 %. More like 0.036%. Which has risen to over 0.04%. Great summary of one of the greatest frauds in history except for the decimal point showing how little co2 there is in the atmosphere.

A great presentation was done by prof Otto Weiss where he used Fournier transform to find the strongest patterns in the climate record and was able to identify the main drivers of climate. Hint none of them are CO2. Weiss specializes in laser physics, and these guys have a deep understanding on how the co2 molecule behaves as it absorbs energy. Short answer is co2 driven climate is an obvious lie.

Great article, Matt. Thanks for the walkthrough of this data and the references.

What a lovely, positive piece. Thank you, Matt! I am going to re-read and valiantly try to understand the bits that escaped me. Covid started a groundswell of citizen researchers, of which I count myself as one. A necessary endeavour. People have become lax and gullible, and take the words of the self-proclaimed, purported "experts" as godstruth. No more. Covid opened my eyes to these rapacious catastrophisers and their corporatist public-private partners. This anti-humanism in the guise of science is coming after my children, and I'll be damned if I will let them win in their dangerous, nihilistic project.

The real purposed behind man made climate change has nothing to do with saving the earth. In fact it is all about the total opposite. They don't want food to grow that they cannot control. They don't want humans to survive either. So drastically reduce CO2 you drastically reduce life in all forms. In order to push UN Agenda 21 (2030 Agenda, Great Reset, Green New Deal.....all the same program) they had to create a global boogie man to put fear into the brains of our children so they would grow up believing the lies about dirty, disgusting humans and how they are destroying the children's future world. They knew if people ever fond out what they were really doing people would protest around the world. So they had to come up with a global boogie man. Global warming was the answer and when that we discovered to be a fraud they dubbed it climate change which is much harder to dispute because heck the climate changes all the time naturally. But does man control climate change or even affect climate? No. NASA scientist John Casey explains it in his book The Cold Sun. It is the sun that controls the climate. The sun goes into period of hibernation and when it does the earth cools. This happens about every 250 years. John was invited to speak to our US Congress every year on his research up until Obama got elected. John's invitations were stopped but he continued to send his research to members of Congress. Now why would Obama uninvite such a renowned NASA scientist from sharing his research. Because it proved the climate change BS was just that BS.

You are doing great work, Mr Ehret. Huzzah!

Matt, well done. Your breadth of knowledge continues to amaze me. Here's another though: The earth's oceans are a vast CO2 sink, in equilibrium with atmospheric CO2. As the oceans warm, their capability to store dissolved CO2 decreases, and CO2 is expelled, As they cool, they are capable of absorbing more CO2. That's why geological data actually show that atmospheric CO2 is a TRAILING indicator of global average surface temperature. It is not a CAUSE of global warming, but a RESULT!

While it's true that human activity emits CO2 to the atmosphere, and those emissions can affect climate in the short term, in the long term, the emitted carbon must reach equilibrium with the CO2 stored in the oceans. Thus global (and ocean) warming drives CO2 out of the ocean, into the atmosphere. Much as increased atmospheric CO2 causes greening on land, fluctuations of CO2 in the ocean will result in more or less photosynthesis by plant life in the oceans. I don't understand all the chemistry that results, but there are vast forces that are totally ignored by "climate scientists" that accept the AGW narrative.

Sad to see them doing things to stop CO2 when temperature stopped rising in 1998 and never beat 1934-6

Those Plants are living High off the Hog, getting Fat, and pumping out the O2 like crazy!

You might want to take out or modify the statement: “.... CO2 were truly to blame for the heating, then why is Mars so cold with temperatures averaging minus 125 degrees Celsius (-195 degrees Fahrenheit) despite the fact that it’s atmosphere is 95% CO2?”

I might be missing something but i believe Mars has almost no atmosphere. So, 95% of almost nothing is a little bit less than almost nothing.

I published my first article on Substack and my take on lung physiology eliminates the idea we breathe in Oxygen and breathe out Carbon dioxide.

Curious?

We breath air not oxygen

Climate Change, one way or the other, is irrelevant. The problem is we need to increase global energy production by 5X in order to fulfill the aspirations of those in Developing Nations to have a good standard of living. There just ain't enough economical fossil reserves to achieve that.

The only source of energy capable of supplying that level of energy production is Nuclear energy. Just the land resources of uranium & thorium can easily power that level of energy production for millions of years. And fusion can do the rest, at least until the sun bakes the Earth. Happy coincidence, Nuclear has the lowest emissions of any energy source by a vast margin, including negligible CO2 emissions if that is anyone's concern. We might have to deliberately burn some fossil (at an economic loss) in order to keep the atmospheric CO2 level at an optimal level, probably ~400-500ppm.

Could you please elaborate on this statement, “… a practice once used in the west before the days of “post-industrialism” induced a collective insanity of consumerism in the early 1970s.”

What was the “insanity of consumerism?”

"Every cause has an effect, every effect has its cause; everything happens according to law; chance is but a name for law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the law."

- 6th Hermetic Principle

Matt's observations are evidence of the law at work.

Dear Matthew, great article, thank you so much for your educating us. I love how you stick to facts ;) With your permission, I would love to translate it into my mother tounge.
