Richard Lindzen, Professor of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences, Emeritus Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and William Happer, Professor of Physics, Emeritus, Princeton University, have published 'PHYSICS DEMONSTRATES THAT INCREASING GREENHOUSE GASES CANNOT CAUSE DANGEROUS WARMING,EXTREME WEATHER OR ANY HARM' More Carbon Dioxide Will Create More Food. Driving Greenhouse Gas Emissions to Net Zero and Eliminating Fossil Fuels Will Be Disastrous for People Worldwide.
"We are career physicists with a special expertise in radiation physics, which describes how CO2 and GHGs affect heat flow in Earth's atmosphere. In our scientific opinion, contrary to most media reporting and many people’s understanding, the “scientific premises undergirding” the Net Zero Theory, all the Biden Net Zero Theory rules and congressional subsidies are scientifically false and “wrong,”
"First, Scientific Evidence Ignored. All the agency rules, publications and studies we have seen supporting the Endangerment Finding and other Biden Net Zero Theory rules ignored, as if it does not exist, the robust and reliable scientific evidence that: (a) carbon dioxide, GHGs and fossil fuels will not cause catastrophic global warming and more extreme weather, detailed in Part III. (b) there will be disastrous consequences for the poor, people worldwide, future generations, Americans, America, and other countries if CO2, other GHGs are reduced to Net Zero and fossil fuels eliminated that will endanger public health and welfare...
"Second, Unscientific Evidence at the Foundation. Unscientific evidence is all we have seen underlying the Endangerment Finding and all the other Biden Net Zero rules..."
These statements are part of the introduction to the paper, from page 3. The technical discussion later in the paper details the specific scientific evidence that is ignored, and the essentially fraudulent claims that are made to support the AGW scam. The paper runs to 46 pages, and has been written carefully for laymen, while adhering to scientific rigor that conforms to the physical understanding of Earth's climate. There is also discussion of policies, regulations, laws, and orders that are of critical importance and time sensitive.
"In summary, the blunt scientific reality requires urgent action because we are confronted with policies that destroy western economies, impoverish the working middle class, condemn billions of the world's poorest to continued poverty and increased starvation, leave our children despairing over the alleged absence of a future, and will enrich the enemies of the West who are enjoying the spectacle of our suicide march."

The above chart isn't a straight line, where radiation of heat declines linearly with increasing CO2. This is because of saturation, and because different GHGs radiate at specific frequencies (temperature) and not at others. You can see big dips where CO2 does conserve heat, and that is reducing the loss of heat by >30W/m^2, which is why Earth isn't an icy grave. You can also see that doubling CO2 to 800ppm makes no discernible difference from 400ppm.
"...CO2...becomes a less effective greenhouse gas at higher concentrations because of what in physics is called "saturation." Each additional increase of CO2 in the atmosphere causes a smaller and smaller change in "radiative forcing," or in temperature.
"Saturation also explains why temperatures were not catastrophically high over the hundreds of millions of years when CO2 levels were 10 to nearly 20 times higher than they are today...
"Worldwide Net Zero by 2050 — only avoids a temperature increase of 13/100 (0.13 °F)...
"In conclusion, since CO2 is now a weak GHG [because it has reached the saturation point], and the warming effects of the other GHGs, including methane and nitrous oxide, are so small that they [are] irrelevant to climate, there is no risk GHGs and fossil fuels will cause catastrophic global warming and extreme weather."
I would not call that catastrophic global warming. No one rational would. However, the economic disruption civil society would have to suffer to attain Net Zero would be catastrophic, and not just for people, but for all life on Earth. That is because CO2 is the chemical basis for life on Earth, the fuel for photosynthesis that causes plants to grow and make the food for all animals, and all the O2 animals need to breathe.
"...doubling carbon dioxide from today's approximately 420 ppm to 840 ppm would increase the amount of food available to people worldwide by roughly 40%..."
Not just people, but all living things. Obviously I'm not providing here the details and rigor the 46 page paper provides. If you want to understand Earth's climate better, if you doubt my reporting, if you doubt the conclusions of the paper itself and want to find flaws to refute it with, follow the link and have at it.
I have understood AGW alarmism is a scam for most of a decade now, and one of the things this paper touches on is the $T's that are being raked in by the scammers. It's the second largest theft by fraud in history (only debt based money and fractional reserve banking are larger). Along with the other scams and frauds that are being committed against humanity today, the wars, the scamdemic, ethnic cleansing and genocide, child sex trafficking, rule by blackmail (extortocracy), prohibition, police state tyranny and surveillance, censorship, and all the other deliberate frauds and oppressions we suffer, we and our posterity are being robbed of unimaginable prosperity and felicity RIGHT NOW. The banksters that bribe and blackmail our governments are a gang of criminals, stealing the birthright rightfully ours, and our beloved sons and daughters - over our dead bodies.
We need to stop the lies, and this one, the AGW scam, is scientifically provably false. The $T's being sucked out of our wallets by the scammers can feed, house, and clothe the entire world right now. Have a look at the paper and understand the proof it provides that the AGW climate scam is theft by fraud, so that we can end the crime spree and deliver to our posterity what is theirs.
