Last month, Japanese researcher Dai Ato published a study that examined the relationship between atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels and human emissions, with sea surface temperature as a key factor.

The findings reject the theory that human-caused emissions are the primary driver of atmospheric CO₂ increase. Instead, the study concludes that sea surface temperature plays a dominant role in regulating CO₂ levels and no human impact is observed.

Ato’s study was published on 16 August in Science of Climate Change, a not-for-profit independent scientific journal dedicated to the publication and discussion of research articles, short communications and review papers on all aspects of climate change.

The multivariate analysis used publicly available data from prominent climate research and energy-related organisations. He found that human emissions were not a determining factor in any of the regression models. 

A regression model is a statistical technique used to estimate the relationship between a response (dependent) variable and a set of explanatory (independent) variables. 

The study concluded that sea surface temperature (“SST”), not human emissions, was the independent determinant of the annual increase in atmospheric CO₂ concentration.

“This study is the first to use multiple regression analysis to demonstrate that the independent determinant of the annual increase in atmospheric CO₂ concentration was SST, which showed strong predictive ability. However, human CO₂ emissions were irrelevant. This result indicates that atmospheric CO₂ has fluctuated as natural phenomenon, regardless of human activity,” the study says.

“The global SST has been the main determinant of annual increases in atmospheric CO₂ concentrations since 1959. No human impact was observed.”

Craig Kelly, former Member of the Australian Parliament, posted the news on Twitter.

Rejoice – It’s Over – Climate Alarmism Has Been Debunked

By Craig Kelly

A new just published paper is wonderful news for mankind, climate alarmism has been debunked.

• All the trillions of dollars that were earmarked to spend on big batteries, high voltage transmission lines, and wind turbines can now be diverted into health, improved living standards and eliminating poverty.
• Legions of climate grifters can now spend their time in productive endeavours.
• We won’t have to kill thousands of koalas by destroying their native habitat constructing wind turbines.
• The little children will no longer have to be scared.

For this new peer-reviewed published study concludes:

The global SST (Sea surface temperature) has been the main determinant of annual increases in atmospheric CO2 concentrations since 1959.

No human impact was observed.

This result indicates that human efforts to curb CO2 emissions have been, at least in the past, meaningless.

Moreover, the theory that modern global warming and climate change are caused by human-emitted CO2 is also wrong, irrelevantly to the credibility of the story that modern warming and climate change are occurring more dramatically than those in the past.

Multivariate Analysis Rejects the Theory of Human-caused Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Increase: The Sea Surface Temperature Rules, Dai Ato, Science of Climate Change, 16 August 2024

The entire climate scare campaign is first and foremost underpinned by the theory that man’s use of fossil fuels is causing CO₂ levels in the atmosphere to increase.

Secondly, this increase in CO₂  is not natural and is causing an increase in bad weather.

And thirdly, by stopping generating energy from coal, oil and gas, we can stop CO₂ levels from increasing and stop increases in bad weather.

However, this new study finds that increases in CO₂ levels are not caused by man’s activities, but by natural increases in sea surface temperatures.

This makes sense; as man’s activities (37 gigatonnes of CO₂) only account for 3% of the total CO₂ emissions into the atmosphere, compared to ~330 gigatonnes from oceanic sources and ~ 440 gigatonnes from terrestrial sources – and the CO₂ emitted from the oceans varies depending upon sea surfaces temperatures.

The study found that variations in sea surface temperatures is what is driving CO₂ increases.

For example, in 1992, the world experienced a global cooling snap caused by the Mount Pinatubo eruption, and in 1992 the atmospheric CO₂ concentration only increased by 0.49 ppm [parts per million].

In contrast, in 1998 an El Niño warmed the world, and the CO₂ concentration increased by 2.97 ppm

So, between 1992 and 1998, there was a six-fold difference in the increase in CO₂ concentrations (0.49 ppm to 2.97 ppm).  However, emissions from 1992 (23.4 gigatonnes) and 1998 (25.3 gigatonnes) differed by only 8%.

So, the science is in. The alarmism can end.

However, we need to understand that the climate change movement is a brainwashed cult, held together by a strongly held quasi-religious belief, not to mention the grifters making millions from perpetuating the alarmism.

And like those who injected themselves with a 4th, 5th and 6th covid  “booster” they will bury their heads in the sand and deny science and want to continue with the destructive insanity of Net Zero.

The Climate Trolls Came Out To Play But Kelly Was Armed And Ready

Below are two responses to Kelly’s tweet above, which attempted to politicise the findings of the study. Kelly responded to them.
