Episode #098: Solar Variability Ignored / IPCC Mandates AGW / Dark Age Cold Period / CO2 Fertilization Effect
5July 26, 2023
Summary
In this episode, Randall Carlson discusses recent events surrounding climate change and the benefits of carbon dioxide. He analyzes historical adaptations of pre-Viking societies to climate fluctuations, particularly during the Dark Ages Cold Period. Carlson also critiques the reliance on steady-state solar output in IPCC climate modeling, arguing that a more nuanced approach is necessary.
