The CO2 canard is coming apart at the seams

 In 2007, the Supreme Court decided that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are pollutants and that the government can regulate them. Since then, many laws and treaties have been introduced to address climate change, with carbon dioxide often seen as the main issue. However, despite predictions, global temperatures have not risen as quickly as expected over the past 50 years.

The website "Watts Up With That" discusses challenges to the idea that rising CO2 levels will lead to significant temperature increases. Notable scientists, including William Happer and William van Wijngaarden, have argued that current CO2 levels are saturated, meaning they are unlikely to absorb more heat, even if levels double. They suggest any temperature rise from this would only be about 0. 5°C (1°F). This finding was supported by a 2024 experiment conducted by researchers in Vienna, which showed no significant increase in heat absorption with doubled CO2 levels.

Further studies by other scientists have reinforced the idea that there is no direct relationship between increasing CO2 levels and rising temperatures, explaining why the Earth has not experienced extreme warming in the past when CO2 levels were much higher than today.
