Scientists Blow The Lid Off Climate Change Myth - Stunning New Study Reveals Shocking Truth About CO2

Sunlight and clouds, not CO2, are the main drivers of Earth’s climate, according to a new study that is set to shake the very foundations of the climate change debate. The study, which was conducted by Ned Nikolov, a physical scientist and researcher affiliated with Colorado State University, and Karl Zeller, a retired U.S. Forest Service meteorologist, found that recent warming is not the result of increasing CO2 levels in the atmosphere, but rather due to the Earth absorbing more sunlight as a result of reduced global cloud cover.

This finding is in direct contrast to the prevailing narrative on climate change, which holds that human-induced increases in CO2 levels are the primary cause of global warming. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has consistently pushed this narrative, with many of its reports emphasizing the need for strong, rapid, and sustained reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in order to mitigate the effects of climate change.

However, Nikolov and Zeller’s study suggests that this approach may be misguided. By analyzing satellite data from NASA’s Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) platform, the researchers were able to determine that the Earth has warmed significantly over the past 24 years due to an increase in the amount of sunlight it has absorbed. This increase in solar absorption is, in turn, due to a decrease in global cloud cover.

According to Nikolov, "CO2 is an invisible trace gas that does not interfere with sunlight. It’s believed to trap thermal radiation coming from the surface, but that’s a misconception because the absorption of longwave radiation by CO2 and heat-trapping are completely different physical processes. According to the 2nd law of thermodynamics, heat-trapping is impossible in an open system such as the atmosphere."

Nikolov and Zeller’s study also found that the Earth’s energy imbalance, which is often cited as evidence of human-induced climate change, is not caused by increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Instead, they found that it is due to adiabatic dissipation of thermal energy in ascending air parcels in the troposphere due to a decreasing atmospheric pressure with height.

The implications of this study are significant, as they suggest that the focus on reducing CO2 emissions may be misplaced. Nikolov argues that the real drivers of climate change are changes in cloud cover and albedo, which are externally forced by factors such as galactic cosmic rays, solar wind, and interactions between the Sun’s and Earth’s magnetic fields. He calls for large-scale interdisciplinary research into the physical mechanisms controlling the Earth’s albedo and cloud physics, as they are the real drivers of climate on multi-decadal time scales.

As it stands, the scientific community has been criticized for its narrow focus on greenhouse gas emissions as the primary cause of climate change. This study suggests that this focus may be too narrow, and that other factors, such as changes in cloud cover and albedo, may play a much more significant role in driving climate change. Whether or not the climate science community will take heed of these findings remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: this study is sure to shake things up in the world of climate science.

Although the climate community has been warned about this new research study, the IPCC did not respond to The Epoch Times’ request for comment regarding Nikolov’s findings by the time of publication.
