THE CARBON LIES
TRILLIONS STOLEN
MASS PSYCHOSIS

Rising CO2 is NOT caused by fossil fuels.
Rising CO2 is NOT harmful.
Both claims are categorically false.
Both are foreclosed by direct measurement.

Every carbon capture project, every carbon credit scheme, every Net-Zero pledge, every fossil-fuel restriction, every carbon footprint calculation rests on physics that has been falsified.

Trillions of dollars. Two lies. Here's the TRUTH.

LIE #1: Rising atmospheric CO2 is harmful.

There is NO evidence that increasing CO2 at current atmospheric concentrations causes ANY harm to humans, ecosystems, or the planet. NONE.

The harm claim typically routes through "warming." Two problems.

First: there is no physical quantity called "global temperature." What is reported as "global mean surface temperature" is an area-weighted arithmetic mean of intensive-variable surface readings from thermometers of varying kind, siting, and coverage. An arithmetic mean of intensive variables is not itself an intensive variable. It has no physical meaning whatsoever. Units belong to physical quantities. GMST is a number, not a temperature.

Second: even accepting the FALSE temperature framing, the radiative forcing from CO2 is trivially small. Happer and van Wijngaarden's line-by-line calculations from the HITRAN spectroscopic database give clear-sky CO2 forcing of 2.97 W/m² for doubling from 400 to 800 ppm at the top of the atmosphere.

The saturation is direct: doubling CO2 reduces outgoing radiation by only about 1%. Applying any reasonable cloud correction — Earth averages ~67% cloud cover, and clouds absorb strongly in CO2's principal 15 μm band, already blocking most of the outgoing radiation CO2 would absorb — reduces all-sky forcing below 1 W/m², plausibly below 0.5 W/m².

That is undetectable. Solar input at any surface location varies by hundreds of W/m² diurnally, dozens of W/m² seasonally, and dozens of W/m² between adjacent cloudy and clear moments. A signal of 0.5 W/m² does not rise above ordinary variability. There is nothing there to measure.

John Clauser (Nobel Prize in Physics 2022) has emphasized the further point: clouds are Earth's actual thermostat, responding to surface conditions on the scale of hours. No cloud feedback in any general circulation model has been validated against observation. A calculation that omits the dominant regulatory mechanism cannot testify to how the system responds.

Meanwhile, what CO2 does is measured, direct, and life-sustaining.

CO2 is the direct substrate of photosynthesis. Plants are the base of the entire food chain. Every calorie consumed by every animal, humans included, begins as photosynthesis. More atmospheric CO2 means more photosynthesis, more crop yield, more biomass. More CO2 means more life.

Satellite measurements since 1982 show Earth's leaf area has increased substantially, driven primarily by CO2 fertilization. Agricultural yields have risen with atmospheric CO2. Commercial greenhouse operators intentionally maintain CO2 at 1,000-1,500 ppm because plants thrive there.

The geological record: atmospheric CO2 has ranged from 180 ppm (glacial minima) to 7,000 ppm (Cambrian). Life flourished at the high end. The genuine danger threshold is the low end, near 150 ppm, below which C3 photosynthesis fails and terrestrial life largely ends.

LIE #2: Rising atmospheric CO2 is caused by human fossil fuel burning.

The isotopic mass balance forecloses this claim.

Fossil fuel carries δ¹³C = −28‰. The measured signature of the actual net addition to the atmosphere, from six independent records spanning 500-1000 years (four Scripps stations, Cape Grim Air Archive, Law Dome ice core, Caribbean sclerosponge), is δ¹³C = −13.2‰.

Under the physically dictated mass partition equation, the fossil fraction of the net atmospheric addition is approximately ZERO.

For fossil to dominate the atmospheric increase (the IPCC and @CO2Coalition FALSELY claim), non-fossil sources and sinks would need to carry δ¹³C = +46‰ or heavier. No terrestrial reservoir on Earth carries this signature. Not the ocean. Not the biosphere. Not volcanic. Not carbonate weathering. Nothing on this planet. This is two orders of magnitude away from REALITY. Not even close.

Trillions stolen.

Global spending on climate policy exceeded $2 trillion in 2024. McKinsey estimates cumulative spending of $275 trillion through 2050 under the industry-standard Net Zero 2050 scenario, roughly 7.5% of global GDP annually for three decades. Carbon credit markets alone moved over $100 billion in 2023, trading permission slips against a claim the physics forecloses.

Every dollar spent on carbon capture, offset schemes, Net-Zero infrastructure, carbon credits, and fossil-fuel restriction is STOLEN from productive economies on the basis of physics that has been falsified by direct measurement.

This is not waste. It is thievery.

Mass psychosis.
