Net zero on energy promises

By John Mikkelsen - posted Monday, 22 December 2025


The belief that anthropogenic CO2 emissions are the main driver of climate change is an unproven hypothesis based on computer modelling, and ignores natural influences such as cyclical changes in the Earth’s orbit around the sun, gradual movement of the magnetic poles, huge emissions  of gasses and water vapour from under-sea and above ground volcanoes, changes in ocean currents and increased sun spot activity, to name a few.

Even NASA admits that higher CO2 levels have contributed to higher crop yields and a greening of the planet. Google’s AI bot again: “ NASA studies and a large body of scientific research confirm that elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels have contributed to the

‘greening’ of Earth and, in some cases, increased short-term crop yields. This is known as the CO₂ fertilization effect.”

Ancient ice cores have also shown that raised CO2 levels have always followed temperature increases by hundreds or even thousands of years.

Meanwhile water vapour is a much more prevalent and effective greenhouse gas, but not even Albo and Bowen have enough hubris to tax the clouds.
