NOBEL PRIZE WINNER PROF. LUC MONTAGNIER: "THE COVID VACCINE IS CREATING THE VARIANTS"
A common climate myth is that modern CO₂ is rising faster than anything in 800,000 years. The truth is, no one can ever know. And this is where the science rubber really hits the road. There's no way to measure the speed of previous warming episodes. This means no one can say modern warming is 'unprecedented'. The truth comes from science, the laws of physics and ice core studies for more than a century. Before snow turns into solid ice, it exists in what is known as the 'firn'. This refers to the porous, packed layer of snow that eventually settles into glacial ice. But this doesn't happen overnight. These ice bubbles are not sealed from the surrounding air. So the air moves freely through this layer for decades or even centuries before the weight of new snow finally crushes the pores shut. This gas-age/ice-age difference is why a single slice of ice contains air that is significantly younger than the ice surrounding it. Because the air can circulate during those 50 to 200 years (depending on the site’s snowfall rate), a single bubble doesn't represent a year. It can represent a rolling average of a century. If a massive CO₂ spike occurred 10,000 years ago but only lasted 40 years, the ice core would smooth it out. The spike would be averaged into the surrounding centuries of lower data, making it appear as a tiny, invisible bump. Comparing a 20-year satellite trend to a 200-year ice core average is like comparing a high-definition photograph to a smudge of charcoal.
Human civilization has only been around for thousands of years—and over that time, global average temperature has been as stable as our own body temperature, varying by just a few tenths of a degree across the centuries. Until now. Today’s rate of warming—more than 1.3°C (2.3°F) in just the last hundred years—is entirely unprecedented in human history. Why does this matter? Because nearly every aspect of our civilization, from infrastructure to food systems, is profoundly unsuited to the types of shocks we’re now experiencing. And while human systems can bend, to a point, eventually they will break. Read more of my interview with David Gelles here: static.nytimes.com/email-content/…
To blame humans for 100% of the carbon dioxide rise is simplistic and misleading. It suggests the natural world - with its tectonic shifts, mid-ocean ridge volcanism, feedback mechanisms and massive water vapor flux - all suddenly vanished in 1850. The greening of the planet (confirmed by NASA) proves the biosphere is actively utilising this CO2, yet the crisis narrative treats the Earth as a passive victim rather than a self-regulating, dynamic system. It conveniently tries to frame humans as careless or even as evil. It is more like a case of self loathing. You are completely ignoring the natural world and the real heavy lifters of Earth’s climate: the oceans and the hydrological cycle. The focus on a 150-ppm rise in CO2 bypasses the reality that the oceans contain 50 times more carbon than the atmosphere. Oceans hold 1,000 times the heat capacity. They contain 91-92% of all the entire world's retained heat energy. Water is 1,000 times denser and heavier than the air, a fine inert vapour by comparison We are currently observing the tail end of a multi-century adjustment, as the deep ocean responds to solar and orbital cycles that began long before the industrial revolution. This is how the natural world turns, very slowly. The CO2 rise isn't a human footprint crushing the natural world out of existence, it’s an echo from a complex feedback loop involving the entire planetary engine.
