Even if the entirety of the modern CO2 concentration increase is due to human activity, the impact (pressure) on global temperatures amounts to no more than 15-18%.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a new study<\/a><\/strong>, geology professor Dr. Wojciech Stankowski<\/strong><\/a>  has summarized some of the reasons why the prevailing narrative that says humans can drive climate change by burning more or less fossil fuels cannot be supported by the evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Past natural climate changes such as Greenland\u2019s \u201ctemperature increases of up to 10\u00b0C within just 50 years\u201d 14,700 and 11,700 years ago confirm that the modern climate change rate (just o.05\u00b0C per decade since 1860) falls well within the range of natural variability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further, a CO2 concentration change from 0.03% to 0.04% (300 ppm to 400 ppm) is not significant enough to impact temperature change in the global ocean, which covers 71% of the Earth\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf carbon dioxide were the main driver of temperature fluctuations, its concentration variations would have to be enormous.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCurrently, CO2 levels are around ~400 ppm. If this entire difference [the ~100 ppm CO2 increase since the early 20th century] is attributed to human activity, anthropogenic pressure accounts for no more than 15-18%.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natural factors such as tectonics, changes in galactic phenomena, and the Sun\u2019s magnetic fluctuations continue to modulate changes in climate. Human activity can only play a non-dominant modifying role at most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe overall trends in climate change rhythms will continue to be determined by the complex nature of galactic phenomena, the energy-magnetic fluctuations of the Sun, and their interactions with Earth\u2019s magnetic field.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe ever-increasing intensity of anthropo-pressure does not hold a dominant role in climate change.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
