factor governing the annual increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration is the SST [sea surface temperature] rather than human emissions.\u201d \u2013 Ato, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another day, another&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.53234\/SCC202407\/19\">new scientific paper<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;has been published reporting efforts to curb anthropogenic CO2 emissions are \u201cmeaningless.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this study multiple linear regression analysis was performed comparing SST versus anthropogenic CO2 emissions as explanatory factors and the annual changes in atmospheric CO2 as the objective variable over the period 1959-2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The model using the SSTs (NASA, NOAA, UAH) best explained the annual CO2 change (regression coefficient B = 2.406, P = &lt;0.0002), whereas human emissions were not shown to be an explanatory factor at all in annual CO2 changes (regression coefficient B = 0.0027, P = 0.863).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most impressively, the predicted atmospheric CO2 concentration using the regression equation derived from 1960-2022 SSTs had an extremely high correlation coefficient of r = 0.9995.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus, not only is the paradigm that says humans drive atmospheric CO2 changes wrong, but \u201cthe theory that global warming and climate change are caused by human-emitted CO2 is also wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cSST has been the determinant of the annual changes in atmospheric CO2 concentrations and [\u2026] anthropogenic emissions have been irrelevant in this process, by head-to-head comparison.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"491\"
