#ClimateBrawl

The CO2 Coalition are posting a re-imaged version of a long debunked fraudulent graph branded with their logo

The original version was from mining engineer Monte Heib's old crank blog

geocraft.com/WVFossils/Carb…

Debunking thread 1/8

2/8
Heib's badly plotted graph cites 2 sources:

(CO2) Berner et al 2001
ajs.scholasticahq.com/article/61570

(Temp) Scotese's old website: scotese.com/climate.htm

3/8

1. Berner et al 2001 directly REFUTES the false claim that there is "no correlation between CO2 and temperature"

"there is indeed a correlation between CO2 and paleotemperature, as manifested by the atmospheric greenhouse effect"

4/8

2. Scotese's old website.

scotese.com/climate.htm

Heib copied the "temperature" plot from an out-dated hand drawn sketch by Scotese

It's NOT based on any proxy temperature data.

It was just broadly estimated hot & cold periods over many millions of years

5/8

Heib dishonestly & incompetently just plonked the old GEOCARB III model's CO2 plot from Berner et al 2001 over Scotese's old hand drawn plot of broad "hot and cold" periods, with no regard at all for correlating the time periods (which were over many millions of years)

6/8
Heib also disregarded other factors from Berner et al 2001

"Factors considered that affect temperature are the evolution of the sun, the atmospheric greenhouse effect (relating temperature to CO2), and changes in paleogeography"

ajs.scholasticahq.com/article/61570

7/8

See Foster et al 2017

"The evolution of Earth’s climate on geological timescales is largely driven by variations in the magnitude of total solar irradiance (TSI) and changes in the greenhouse gas content of the atmosphere"

Mills, Scotese et al 2018 also refute Hieb's and the CO2 Coalition's dishonest claim that there is "no correlation between CO2 and temperature "

"We find a strong relationship between CO2 forcing and temperature from the proxy data"

sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

There is NO published research that supports the false claim by the CO2 Coalition that there is "no correlation between CO2 & temperature throughout geological history"

Here's another similar fraudulent graph they use- popularised by Patrick Moore

All the members of the fossil fuel industry funded propaganda group "CO2 Coalition" brand themselves as dishonest disinformers when they post a faked graph branded with their logo

Happer, Moore, Wrightstone, Lindzen & Ridd to name just a few.
