No, the GOP is NOT united.

Democrats are united in their belief that human CO₂ emissions control the climate, but Republicans are divided.

Donald Trump made his position clear,

By slashing energy costs, we will reduce the cost of transportation, manufacturing, and household goods. We have to produce massive amounts of energy.

To remain a leading country, America must invest more in coal, gas, oil, and nuclear energy but this conflicts with the climate myth that requires we limit using carbon fuels for energy.

The big Republican problem is about 20% of Republican-leaning voters believe the climate myth because Republican leaders will not tell them the truth.

One reason Trump lost his presidential bid in 2020 was he could not defend his position in his critical climate debate against Biden. He thereby lost the 20% of Republican voters who believe they must vote Democrat to save the planet.

President Trump and Republican candidates for Congress face a repeat of 2020 in 2024 unless they tell the voters the truth about climate change.

Montana played a part in Trump’s 2020 loss. Senator Steve Daines and GOP chairman Don K refused to give Trump Jr a copy of my book before Trump’s 2020 climate debate. Had Trump read the first chapter, he would have won his climate debate and may have won his 2020 election.

Montana’s climate-science-deprived Republican leaders include Senator Steve Daines, wannabe Senator Tim Sheehy, Congressman Ryan Zinke, wannabe Congressman Troy Downing, Governor Greg Gianforte, and Attorney General Austin Knudsen. All have demographics in their favor to win their elections.

They support senseless carbon capture without calculating that capturing annual human CO₂ emissions will equal America’s annual $7 Trillion debt and do nothing because nature controls the CO₂ level.

Montana played a part in America’s loss of climate truth.

Montana’s climate-science-deprived Republicans support Knudsen’s stipulation in his non-defense of the Held v Montana “climate” lawsuit,

“for the purposes of trial, there is a scientific consensus that earth is warming as a direct result of human GHG emissions, primarily from the burning of fossil fuels.”

Even Knudsen’s stipulation distorts science. Scientific consensus is irrelevant to scientific truth. Human CO₂ does not warm the planet. In addition, Knudsen did not counter any Plaintiff’ claim.

Every true Republican should have called out AG Knudsen for giving away Held v Montana.

Judge Seeley correctly ruled for the Plaintiffs based on the evidence in the trial. Daines and his clone Sheehy claimed on “X” that the judge was wrong because she is a liberal. They did not tell the people that Knudsen purposely threw the trial.

In May 2022, I recommended to Knudsen’s assistant AG that we use 12 good climate scientists to defend Held v Montana. But my recommendations got shut down on June 3, 2022, by a Montana puppet master who seems to be working for WEF.

Had Knudsen allowed me to help him (Knudsen blacklisted me), we would have destroyed Steve Runnings’ climate argument in court and saved America’s freedom.

Running’s argument rests on the alarmists’ invalid claim that human CO₂ takes longer than natural CO₂ to flow out of the air. That is physically impossible because human and natural CO₂ molecules are identical. This fact leads to proof that natural CO₂ controls the CO₂ increase.

Held v Montana is about two issues. The plaintiffs must prove (a) their desired remedy will resolve their damage complaints and (b) human CO₂ causes their claimed damages.

Amicus Briefs on (a) may win and save Montana from economic damage but this win will not undo the political, economic, and educational damage caused by the climate myth.

Our Amicus Brief on (b), signed by 42 Montana Republican legislators and twenty-one others (filed by attorney Quentin Rhoades) summarizes some of the scientific proofs that the Plaintiffs’ claims are false. If the court considers (b), we will defeat Held v Montana.

Whose side are Montana’s Republican leaders on?

Their liberal climate actions help the powerful World Economic Forum convince Americans to vote for their own enslavement to “save the planet from climate change.” WEF plans to turn Americans into drooling climate zombies who will be happy to own nothing, go nowhere, and eat insects by 2030.

WEF needed Montana to lose Held v Montana and Republican leaders delivered.

Montana’s Republican leaders’ climate actions do not help Donald Trump win votes. They do not help the children who are suffering from the Democrats’ fear-led indoctrination in climate fiction.

The Held v Montana child plaintiffs did not suffer any damage from human CO₂. They suffered mental damage from climate indoctrination by their parents and teachers and Republicans who reject climate truth.

Republican leaders (even the former seals) don’t have the balls to tell people the truth about climate. They would rather Trump lose in 2024 than for them to spend an hour with a climate physicist like me to learn the truth about climate change.

I will endorse candidates who spend an hour with me to focus on climate truth.

CO2 does not warm the surface because it cannot do so. CO2 warms the air and 99% of that is non-radiating, non-GHGs. To put a fine point on it, CO2 absorbs only 8% of Earth’s IR footprint and close to the surface at 400ppm and 288K 94% of that 8% is thermalized (i.e., the energy is transferred from the IR-excited CO2 molecules by conduction [molecular collisions] before they can radiate. Worse: water vapor absorbs half of the same IR frequencies that CO2 does, so you have to reduce this remaining 6% of 8% by half. Finally, what little energy absorbed and radiated by CO2 has to be AGAIN (!!!) by half because half of the radiation goes up, leaving only half to go down.

What energy from the sun does the earth absorb? Well, officially 164W/M2, but 86W/M2 of that is converted into [surface cooling] evaporation (latent heat) and another 18W/M2 is conducted direct to the air from the surface, which means 99% of that goes to the non-GHGs because the air is 99% non-GHG and conduction goes proportional to the molecules in the ratio of their contribution to the total.

So we get (164-86-18) x 1/2 x 1/2 x 6% of 8% = 0.077W/M2, or effectively, zilch. Q.E.D.

For the 94% of CO2 absorbed IR that is thermalized see F.K. Reinhart (2017).
