More Proof That CO2 Climate “Control Knob” Is Bogus from C3 Headlines
Remote Sensing Systems (RSS) published their August 2023 global lower troposphere (LT) dataset, and it validates that global temperatures have increased over recent months. However, the world remains in a very slight cooling trend since the start of 2015—over 8.5 years.
By combining the RSS data with NOAA’s CO2 data, it’s possible to calculate whether the past three years of rising atmospheric CO2 are causing LT temperatures to increase.
As this chart confirms, the monthly moving three-year CO2 increases
have zero correlation (R2 = 0.00007) with monthly temperatures.
It also affirms that the widely claimed “control knob” is nothing more than political science fiction.
