A new study of ancient ice core samples suggests that around 2.7 million years ago the world entered an ice age, even though carbon dioxide levels remained perfectly stable. The alleged correlation between the vital trace gas and global temperatures turns out to be yet another pseudoscientific myth.

The world of "mainstream" climate science (the part that claims the science is "obvious") is in disarray. New data show that CO2 concentrations nearly three million years ago were around 250 parts per million (ppm) - well below the 400 ppm assumed for this era. Moreover: over nearly three million years, this value varied by a ridiculous 20 ppm. Methane concentrations also showed no change. There was a sharp drop in global temperature and intermittent interglacial warming without any significant change in the so-called 'greenhouse gas concentration'.

Until now, an apparently fictitious value of 400 ppm from three million years ago has been used as a convenient explanation for the subsequent ice age (when the value allegedly fell to 250 ppm).Thanks to the study "Broadly stable atmospheric CO2 and CH4 levels over the past 3 million years" published in Nature by 17 US scientists, this excuse is now history. Suddenly, it has to be admitted that natural climate variations were the real cause of countless and sometimes very serious temperature changes. But when it comes to today's completely natural climate change, it is precisely these natural factors that are deliberately ignored in the interests of the green globalist 'Net Zero' fantasy.

Climate lobbyists are responding to this slap in the face by desperately clinging to the CO2 doctrine. One of the study's authors argues, in all seriousness, that the results suggest that the climate is even more sensitive to the warming effect of CO2. What doesn't fit is interpreted as fitting. This despite the fact that the data actually refute these very assumptions.

Professor Carrie Lear of Cardiff University topped it all off by arguing that the studies do not deny the importance of CO2, but highlight the sensitivity of the climate system - which is why the current rise in CO2 levels is "so alarming". Ah. Even though CO2 levels are unlikely to change, they are still the culprit. After all, the laws of the atmosphere are inviolable: whether this trace gas rises, falls or remains stable, it is always responsible for everything. And on this flimsy, unscientific assumption, humanity should now stop using hydrocarbons and allow itself to be catapulted back into the pre-industrial era.

Tim Naish, a professor at the University of Victoria in New Zealand, warned in New Scientist that "children should not be thrown away with the washing water". God forbid that 40 years of anti-scientific demonisation of CO2 should be stopped! Critics often try to downplay the data from ice drilling samples if it does not fit their narrative. However, they are the best source so far on past climate. And whatever data are used: it is simply impossible to find an obvious and consistent link between CO2 and temperature over the entire geological history of the last 600 million years. There is nothing to justify the political illusion that humans can adjust the global climate thermostat by abandoning fossil fuels.

The evidence for a man-made climate catastrophe is so weak that Professor Emeritus Les Hatton of Kingston University recently showed, using ice core samples, that a 1.1°C rise in temperature per century occurred every sixth century during the current interglacial period (which began 20 000 years ago). If you go back 150 000 years, this happened every sixth to twentieth century. There is nothing unusual about the current warming. None of it is primarily man-made. But of course you will never read this in the mainstream media addicted to climate narratives.
