Claim: Climate Science can Change Minds, but Skeptics Undo Progress

I agree Joe, the AGW version of climate science is so full of holes it is now leaking like a sieve, and forty years of failed catastrophic predictions is starting to sound like religion’s second coming.
Here is a list of scientific “facts” that confound the AGW hypothesis.

• Arrhenius’s calculations were wrong and his conjecture about the greenhouse process is flawed: CO2 only plays a marginal role in the climate system, due to its IR absorbing saturation levels at low <300ppm CO2;
• Henry’s law, dictates CO2 follows temperature and not the other way round, effect cannot precede cause, therefore the AGW theory is based on an erroneous causation;
• Anthropic CO2 is a tiny 6% of the overall atmospheric CO2 concentration as most of the increase has come from natural processes, i.e., plants, volcanoes and the out-gassing of oceans due to increase of temperature; the residency time in the atmosphere of each CO2 molecule is less than six years;
• 99.96% of the CO2 ever present in the atmosphere has been removed by various natural processes (mainly weathering) over geological times, then sequestered in ocean carbonate sediments and organic fossil fuels; 
• Anthropogenic global warming has been proved to be a minor effect, the longer-term climate risk is the lack of sufficient CO2 to support and enhance all life on Earth, therefore emissions growth is positive for humanity;
• Atmospheric sensitivity to CO2 is greatly exaggerated by IPCC and may be <1, the role of water vapor is underestimated and clouds have an overall negative feedback, so runaway global warming is impossible;
• The Greenhouse effect (absorption of IR radiations by some gases) is badly defined and intentionally kept confusing; however, a doubling of CO2 from 410ppmv should result in a temperature increase of only 0.35°C (after 100yr), because the warming capability of CO2 is now so close to saturation;
• In climate models, CO2 related GHG warming is enhanced by water vapor the main player, but water -resists modeling and entails that climate cannot yet be forecast beyond what meteorology achieves, i.e., 15 days; 
• IPCC GCM’s are not validated and have no true predictive value because they do not hindcast well, they assume high ECS, ignore negative feedbacks such as clouds and dismiss natural climate variability;
• Many of the world’s surface temperature datasets are locally affected by the urban heat island effect or corrupted by inappropriate homogenisation techniques designed to show human related global warming;
• Rising CO2 is beneficial for plant and crop growth and human sustainability. Record harvests in Australia and worldwide plus forest growth testifies to improved photosynthesis and plant fertilisation;
• Progressive acidification of open oceans is a myth; they have always been alkaline;
• Sea Level changes measured since 1907 show no acceleration (1mm y-1) and are unrelated to CO2 levels; 
• Solar and Earth orbital variations are among the main factors that drive long and short-term climate change, including the seasons, hydrological cycle, storms, oceanic oscillations and the Ice Ages;
• Solar flux changes during weak magnetic cycles cause stronger cosmic ray bombardment and ionized particles forming water droplets and cooling cloud development, thus negating AGW in the atmosphere;  
• Plate tectonics and gravity changes impact climate through mountain building, continent and ocean realignment, changing wind and currents that redistribute heat and water vapour from the tropics towards the poles;
• Natural oceanic oscillations ENSO (El Niño – La Niña), AMO, NAO, PDO are much more relevant to modern climate than AGW. High-capacity ocean heat and CO2 sinks act to moderate atmospheric effects and climate;
•The globe’s hydrologic cycle is a key factor regulating daily weather and short-term climate; the stronger the hydrologic cycle, the more ocean heating, surface evaporation, cloud development and cooling occurs; ,                                                                                                                                                        • Major volcanic eruptions can be globally disruptive and cause local cooling by sulphureous emissions and ejecta, they also emit considerable CO2 but are largely dismissed in GCM’s;
• Increased atmospheric CO2 can be seen as a good thing from both environmental and ecological aspects, as life and civilization generally speaking flourishes in warmer, CO2 enriched and wetter conditions;
• There is no convincing relationship between modern warming and increases in extreme weather events;
• No empirical evidence exists to support the assertion that a planetary warming of 2°C would be net ecologically or economically damaging. In contrast, moderate warming is likely to be beneficial to humanity;
• Many diseases that thrive during cold conditions, e.g., influenza and other respiratory afflictions like Covid, will be reduced by a warmer environment;
• Forward projections of solar cyclicity and other climate variables such as AMO and PDO imply the next few decades may be marked by global cooling rather than warming, despite continuing CO2 emissions and higher CO2 levels.
