- A new study by Ned Nikolov and Karl Zeller challenges the prevailing view that CO2 is driving climate change.
- The researchers analyzed satellite data and concluded that Earth has warmed due to increased sunlight absorption caused by reduced global cloud cover, not increased CO2.
- Nikolov argues that CO2 does not trap heat in the atmosphere as commonly believed, and that atmospheric composition has no effect on global temperature.
- The study found that Earth’s albedo (the amount of sunlight reflected back to space) has decreased, leading to more solar radiation reaching the surface and causing warming.
- Nikolov and Zeller’s work suggests that the Earth’s Energy Imbalance (EEI) is not caused by greenhouse gases trapping heat, but by adiabatic processes in the atmosphere.
- The researchers call for more interdisciplinary research into the mechanisms controlling Earth’s albedo and cloud physics, which they believe are the real drivers of climate change.
- Their findings contradict the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and NASA’s stance on the causes of global warming.
- The article notes that this research challenges current climate change policies focused on reducing CO2 emissions.
- The researchers acknowledge that while they have hypotheses about what’s driving cloud cover changes, they don’t have a conclusive theory or predictive model yet.
Less clouds means more solar radiation absorption, leading to higher surface temperatures
