    In this post we hear from Professor Nir Shaviv, Chairman of the Racah Center for Physics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and IBM Einstein Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study.
    How Climate Change Pseudoscience Became Publicly Accepted

    ". . . Evidence for warming doesn’t tell us what caused the warming, and any time someone has to appeal to the so called 97 percent consensus he or she is doing so because his or her scientific arguments are not strong enough. Science is not a democracy.

    Whether or not the Western world will overcome this ongoing hysteria in the near future, it is clear that on a time scale of a decade or two it would be a thing of the past. Not only will there be growing inconsistencies between model and data, a much stronger force will change the rules of the game.

    Once China realizes it cannot rely on coal anymore it will start investing heavily in nuclear power to supply its remarkably increasing energy needs, at which point the West will not fall behind. We will then have cheap and clean energy producing carbon neutral fuel, and even cheap fertilizers that will make the recently troubling slash and burn agriculture redundant.

    The West would then realize that global warming never was and never will be a serious problem. In the meantime, the extra CO2 in the atmosphere would even increase agriculture yields, as it has been found to do in arid regions in particular. It is plant food after all."

    I'm proud to say it has been possible to present a fully elaborated challenge to the AGW consensus right here at DP. It is the Winter Gatekeeper Hypothesis, and can be found in six parts within this thread: The Sun-Climate Effect.

    There is no longer a consensus.

    New Study Claims The CO2 Increase Since 1850 Can Account For Only Half Of Modern Global Warming

    “The cause of global warming is still under debate.” – Choi and Manousiouthakis, 2022
    Radiative models estimating the temperature effects of increasing CO2 to 420 ppm indicate 0.64°C of the alleged 1.2°C warming since the 19th century could be explained by CO2 increases.
