Introduction to my forthcoming book
by Edwin Berry, Ph.D., Physics
Human CO2 does not cause climate change. High-school level science shows why human CO2 has an insignificant effect on atmospheric CO2. Therefore nature, not human CO2 emissions, is the true cause of climate change.
Climate alarmists predict disasters that never happen. They produce endless lists of bad things they claim climate change causes. They think their claims are “proof” that human CO2 causes climate change. But results, even if they happen, do not prove their cause. Only science can determine the cause of climate change.
What Feynman taught
Nobel Physicist Richard Feynman taught his students how to test a theory of cause and effect:
- The first principle is to not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool.
- To test your theory, you must use your theory to make a prediction. If your prediction disagrees with data, your theory is wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science.
- It doesn’t matter how beautiful your theory is. It does not matter how smart you are, or who you work for, or what degrees you have, or how many publications you have, or how much money you have, or how many people think your theory is right, … If your prediction disagrees with data, your theory is wrong.
If science does not test theories, it is not science. True science eliminates theories that make false predictions. The truth is in what is left after you eliminate bad theories.
Politics versus truth
The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the United States Global Change Research Program (USGCRP), the United States National Climate Assessment (NCA) claim human CO2 causes dangerous climate change. Their theory makes invalid predictions. Their science is flawed and fundamentally wrong.
The theory that human CO2 causes dangerous climate change is built on a foundation of sand. Those who promote this theory have not followed the scientific method. As Feynman warned, they have fooled themselves.
The proof that the alarmist theory is wrong is so simple that a judge and a jury can understand it. Smart attorneys can use this proof to win lawsuits against those who claim human CO2 changes climate.
Human CO2 emissions do not change atmospheric CO2 enough to change the climate. Nature controls the climate. Efforts to reduce human CO2 emissions are a waste of time and money.
Money, money, money
Climate alarmists want America to spend another trillion dollars on climate research, focused, of course, on supporting their cause. The United Nations and the US government have already done this and failed. Their game is over. Their theory is wrong.
A trillion US dollars is a lot of money. For comparison, conservative politicians estimate two trillion dollars would dramatically rebuild America’s roads, bridges, buildings, and internet communication system.
This book gives you the power to
- save America and free nations over one trillion US dollars.
- repeal the senseless laws and regulations that are based on the false belief that human emissions cause climate change.
- restore common sense and sanity to public climate discussions.
- counter the climate madness spread by money, media, and environmental organizations.
- make our schools and universities teach climate truth rather than climate hysteria.
- educate voters and elect candidates who understand that human CO2 does not change the climate.
The May 2019 Australian national election showed how climate policy can decide major elections. The Wall Street Journal Opinion reported:
If American Democrats want a warning about the consequences of embracing the Green New Deal, look no further than Saturday’s election shocker in Australia. The opposition center-left Labor Party had led in the polls for months but lost as voters rejected its move left on taxes, spending and above all on climate change.

Who should care about climate science?
Probably you. Whether you like it or not, you are a vote on which road your country will take. Will it be climate truth or climate fiction? The road your country takes will make a giant difference to you, your family, and your country.
Do you want science truth to prevail over politics? Do you want abundant, low-cost energy rather than high-cost, unreliable energy? Do you want climate sanity? Do you want a strong national defense to protect your freedom?
If so, then you will want to read this book.
Greetings from Australia, where we’ve just dodged a few bullets. Let’s hope the world’s on the turn.
We thought we had dodged bullets in Australia but PM Morrison has just given $1 billion (Australian) to the Clean Energy Foundation to advance solar and wind powered energy but not coal. A planned HELE coal fired plant has been slow tracked or, effectively, stopped. He has either forgotten why he won the election or he fooled the electorate into thinking he was not taken in by the climate change cult.
Dr. Berry…I hope you are not too late with this book. It seems the level of hysteria is increasing faster than truth can compete. I think Mark Twain had a quote to the effect that a Lie will circle the world before Truth can put on its boots. I really appreciate your efforts to get the facts out to others.

Good luck on the book project Dr. Ed. Be sure to get endorsements from Richard Courtney , Dr. Harde and others.
It is quite discouraging that the journal refused to publish your paper and relied on such a lame excuse.
The assumption that fossil fuel use is driving the growth in atmospheric CO2 is everywhere in the media and political conversation. For example (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRQvxLuvtX0) at about 5:30.
Refuting this commonly held misconception will be difficult and needs dedication like yours to get it into the public view.
Dear Ed,
1) What is the title of your book and when will it be available for purchase?
2) This book should expose all who have been leading the man-made global warming and catastrophic man-made sea level rise campaigns as leaders of witch hunts several hundred years ago, including the Catholic Church then and now.
3) It exposes John Holdren, President Obama’s Science Advisor.
4) It exposes professional organizations who are against fossil fuels.
5) It exposes all the world national academies of science who backed John Holdren on his alarmism.
6) It exposes leaders of institutions of learning, teachers and professors.
7) It exposes the media and Hollywood.
Thanks.

3) It exposes John Holdren, President Obama’s Science Advisor.
I assume that you are referring to Barack Hussein Obama’s science “czar” John Holdren.
White House science czar John Holdren has predicted 1 billion people will die in “carbon-dioxide induced famines” in a coming new ice age by 2020.
As WND previously reported, Holdren predicted in a 1971 textbook co-authored with Malthusian population alarmist Paul Ehrlich that global over-population was heading the Earth to a new ice age unless the government mandated urgent measures to control population, including the possibility of involuntary birth control measures such as forced sterilization.
Holdren’s prediction that 1 billion people would die from a global cooling “eco-disaster” was announced in Ehrlich’s 1986 book “The Machinery of Nature.”
Now we see the outrage over President Trump saying that is taking advice from William Happer, who has a reputation for giving sound advice back to 1993 when he went to the White House and told Gore’s staff he saw no evidence that the ozone hole actually was hurting anyone. Gore did not want to hear that so that was the end of William Happer going to the Clinton White House.

Dear Ed,
This look very very interesting.
And surely – it is as simple as that.
If the theory don’t fit the observations and predictions,
it is wrong.
And still, the IPCC and their AGW theory have fooled the world.

I wish you well with your book. I still find it amazing that supposedly intellectual people can believe what is put about concerning climate change, when the evidence is there for all to see that the assumtion that CO2 causes climate change is completely wrong.
Scientists, 100 yrs ago started this by assuming that because CO2 concentrations were low during the ice age and higher during the interglacial period, that CO2 caused the rise in temperature. Even a novice in statistics knows that correlation does not indicate cause and effect. But you can see quite clearly that the temperature started to rise several hundred years before the CO2 started to rise.
Then one false assumtion led to another and no-one seems to refute it.
Good luck,
David
“The glory which is built upon a lie soon becomes a most unpleasant incumbrance. … How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again!” Mark Twain
I carry on many discussions with the alarmist on line and it is rather pointless to try to have a logical conversation with most of them. After they have been brainwashed into believing the unproven assumptions about their devil in the sky, the trace gas that is absolutely essential for all life on earth, CO₂, and that it will cause the planet to incinerate if one more lump of coal is burned, having a conversation based of facts and logic is not possible. Anthropogenic climate change becomes like most faith based religions where any decenters are seen as heretics and treated as such and should be, if possible, burned at the stake. This hateful reaction that the alarmist have to anyone who dares to question their believes actually puts them into the category of being a religion and that means that they have nothing to do with science. It must be remembered that heresy is the choice to abandon the widely accepted teaching on an essential doctrine and embrace one’s own view.
I began to offer what follows up for the true believing alarmist to consider and I get very few replies regarding the challenge. What you alarmist ignore is this truth. The sun makes up 99.8% of the mass of the solar system. Do you agree with that summation? CO₂ is .04% of the earth’s atmosphere. Do you agree with that summation? Of the two, the sun or CO₂, which do you believe has the most influence on the earth’s climate?
Thank you for your excellent and important work so far.
Most appreciated and very useful.
Look forward to your new book.
