A study published in the journal Applications in Engineering Science confirming the claims of leading scientists in other research that adding carbon dioxide at current levels is unlikely to contribute much to further warming due to the saturation effect.
The study, written by three faculty members from the Institute of Optoelectronics at the Polish Military Technical University in Kraków, includes a literature review of the impact of anthropogenic increases in atmospheric CO₂ concentration on the Earth’s climate, as well as an independent analysis of the radiative absorption. of potential carbon dioxide. The study concludes that, although the issue needs further investigation, the best estimate is that atmospheric CO₂ concentrations have already reached a level beyond which further emissions are almost impossible. absorbing solar radiation and contributing to warming.
There is little or no debate as to whether it is at all there is an atmospheric saturation effect for CO₂. CO₂ absorbs solar radiation in a specific frequency band, and when 100 percent of that frequency band is reached, adding more CO₂ does not cause additional warming. The debate is about the question of whether this frequency band has been reached or exceeded. According to this study, the answer is a resounding yes.
According to the theory, confirmed by laboratory tests, the ‘mass absorption’ of CO₂ is about 0.6 kg / m². The current amount of CO₂ in the Earth’s atmosphere is already about 6 kg/m² – about ten times the amount of absorption.
“This means that additional CO₂ emissions will have very little warming effect, as the gas has absorbed almost all the infrared radiation it can capture within the spectrum in -he took it,”
Vigilant News writes in a report about the investigation. The findings of the study were largely ignored by the mainstream media.
“The question arises as to whether the extra carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere absorbs thermal radiation,” the authors say.
This and previous studies by the scientists suggest that the answer to this question is no:
“This clearly indicates that the officially reported effect of anthropogenic CO₂ increase on the Earth’s climate is only a hypothesis and not a proven fact,” the scientists conclude.
The results of the study are consistent with the work of leading physicists such as Dr. WA van Wijngaarden from the department of physics and astronomy at York University in Canada, Dr. Will Happer from the physics department Princeton University and dr. Richard Lindzen, professor emeritus in the Department of Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences Massachusetts Institute of Technologyas well as independent researchers such as Randall Carlson and others. All have long argued that CO₂’s impact on the climate is overestimated, and its benefits, particularly the greening of the Earth, are often overlooked.
In July 2024, Lindzen and Happer testified before the Kentucky Legislature as follows:
Carbon dioxide physicists say that the ability of CO₂ to warm the planet is determined by its ability to absorb heat, which decreases rapidly as the concentration of CO₂ in the atmosphere decreases. increasing. This scientific fact about CO₂ changes everything about popular ideas about CO₂ and climate change.
Carbon dioxide is now a weak greenhouse gas. With the current concentration of CO₂ in the atmosphere at around 420 parts per million, additional amounts of CO₂ have little ability to absorb heat, so it is now a weak greenhouse gas. The potential to warm the planet at higher CO₂ concentrations is very low.
This also means that the common assumption that carbon dioxide is the “main cause of climate change” is scientifically incorrect.
This study and the work of countless other researchers show that the science is hard, but not in the way that climate alarmists claim or accept. If this research is correct, an increase in CO₂ emissions could have a very small effect on temperature, while at the same time having a large, positive effect on plant life.
If CO₂ is not the reason for the slight increase in recent temperatures, one must look for other reasons, one of which was recently suggested in an article published in the journal Geomatics.
In this study, researchers used satellite data and observations to determine that a decrease in the Earth’s albedo, linked to variations in solar radiation,
“Explains 100 percent of the global warming trend and 83 percent of the annual variations in [wereldtemperatuur]as measured by six satellites and ground-based monitoring systems recorded over the past 24 years. “
According to this study, a decrease in the Earth’s albedo – a critical point ignored or misrepresented by the IPCC – has caused the Earth to reflect less solar energy back into space and more of absorption, promoting the recent warming trend. Rising carbon dioxide concentrations have nothing to do with recent warming, according to this study, which is consistent with research showing that CO₂ has reached or exceeded its saturation point in radical effects.
