Contrary to popular belief, there are now many scientific papers showing that the influence of more Carbon Dioxide (CO2) on the climate is nothing – or next to nothing. I had thought about compiling a blog putting all these papers skeptical of significant warming by CO2 together until I recently found that someone already had the same idea as I had. Look here:

Scientific papers showing negligible influence of carbon dioxide on temperature and climate

To carry on with this work, I am just going to add links of skeptical reports in this blog that I am finding along the way from now on. I start with my own study, namely:

An evaluation of the greenhouse effect by carbon dioxide | Bread on the water

I have tried to keep it straight and simple so that it should be easy to understand for anyone with basic knowledge of physics. At the end of my report I mentioned 5 reports of other people who investigated same problem in different ways but arrived at the same conclusion, namely that there is little or no influence on the temperature by adding more CO2 to the atmosphere. Not so long ago I also came across this report:

Climatic consequences of the process of saturation of radiation absorption in gases – ScienceDirect

In the conclusion it says: “The presented material shows that despite the fact that the majority of publications attempt to depict a catastrophic future for our planet due to the anthropogenic increase in CO₂ and its impact on Earth’s climate, the shown facts raise serious doubts about this influence.

Most recently I came across this paper:

In the abstract it says:  “It showed that the curves and trends were too dissimilar to establish a connection. Observations from CO2/temp ratios showed that the CO2 and the temperature moved in opposite directions 42% of the time. Many ratios displayed zero or near zero values, reflecting a lack of response. As much as 87% of the ratios revealed negative or near zero values, which strongly negate a correlation. The infrared spectra showed the Greenhouse Gases had an exceptionally low absorption band between 11.67 µm to 9.1 µm, which is a zone called the infrared atmospheric window. Most of the Greenhouse Gases absorb little infrared inside that zone. And that zone is where the Earth’s surface emits almost all infrared radiation. Even with minimal absorbance, water vapor captures the most infrared radiation. It absorbs 84 times more than CO2, 407 thousand times more than methane, 452 thousand times more than ozone and 2.3 million times more than nitrous oxide. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the United States EPA excluded water vapor because it was not associated with man-made activities. They reported that water vapor and clouds were simply feedback mechanisms from CO2. Clouds reflect radiation from the sun. The Northern Hemisphere is 2.7˚F warmer than the Southern Hemisphere because of clouds. The world cloud cover has gone down 4.1% from 1982 to 2018. Calculations show that this could be responsible for 2.4˚F of the 2.7˚F. The research shows that most of the recent increase in temperature (89.9%) is because of fewer clouds.”
