Carbon Dioxide: no big deal

Introduction

Important new research on climate change has just been published by David Coe, MA (Physics), a retired researcher with a career in industry, specialising for a large part in the measurement of atmospheric gases using infrared absorption spectroscopy.

His paper, co-authored with Walter Fabinski and Gerhard Wiegleb, challenges the prevailing view on climate change. This view is, firstly, that the carbon dioxide resulting from fossil fuel use is the prime cause of the warming of the Earth's atmosphere and, secondly, that we must abandon our use of fossil fuels by 2050, in a policy of Net Zero, or risk an accelerating and eventually uncontrollable overheating of the planet. We are bombarded on a daily basis from almost every section of the media with stories of impending doom, unless we take immediate and decisive action.

The full version of Coe's paper is titled The Impact of CO2, H2O and Other 'Greenhouse Gases' on Equilibrium Earth Temperatures. It is available to read on Paul Homewood's climate blog, Not A Lot of People Know That, dated 31 August, 2021.

His findings show that the popular claims of carbon dioxide's ability to influence the planet's mean temperature have been grossly exaggerated, and are based on unsound science. Net Zero is therefore an overreaction and a misconceived policy.

What follows is a simplified version. – Ian Phillips

Your body is crying out for...dirt

The idea of eating dirt isn't new. It's been around a long time, dating back more than 2,500 years. Hunters and gatherers couldn't avoid it, and regardless of culture, there's evidence people have included traces of dirt in their diets throughout the ages.

Biological Transmutations

Over the past two centuries a large number of experiments with animals, seeds and bacteria have demonstrated that biology is not only a chemical process, but also a nuclear one. It has been demonstrated that some minerals transmute into other minerals. With the development of lowenergy nuclear reactions (cold fusion), this topic is back in the scientific agenda. Very few scientists work in this field, but its importance is such that its further development is crucial.
