Paper Showing Earth’s Atmosphere Has Become ‘Saturated’ With Carbon Dioxide and More Carbon Emissions Won’t Make Any Difference Is Retracted Following Positive Coverage in the Daily Sceptic

by Chris Morrison
13 January 2025 9:00 AM

Another important paper taking issue with the ‘settled’ climate narrative has been cancelled following a report in the Daily Sceptic and subsequent reposts that went viral across social media. The paper discussed the atmospheric ‘saturation’ of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and argued that higher levels will not cause temperatures to rise. The work was led by the widely-published Polish scientist Dr. Jan Kubicki and appeared on Elsevier’s ScienceDirect website in December 2023. The paper has been widely discussed on social media since April 2024 when the Daily Sceptic reported on the findings. Interest is growing in the saturation hypothesis not least because it provides a coherent explanation for why life and the biosphere grew and often thrived for 600 million years despite much higher atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases. Alas for control freaks, it also destroys the science backing for the Net Zero fantasy. 

Many scientists contend that above certain levels the ability of CO2 to warm within narrow bands of the infrared spectrum falls off a logarithmic cliff. Recently, eight Taiwanese scientists led by Professor Peng-Sheng Wei found that the sensitivity of the climate to a rise in CO2 atmospheric levels from 100 to 400 parts per million (ppm) was “negligibly small” at 0.3°C. Current levels of CO2 are around 420 ppm. Seven Austrian scientists recently concluded that a future doubling of CO2 showed “no increase in the IR [infrared] absorption for the 15 u-central peak”. At most, it was stated, this could lead to warming of 0.5°C. Yet in spite of this, Elsevier decided to retract Kubicki’s paper with only a few words of explanation, a decision that is likely to send shock waves through any group of scientists seeking to examine the role of saturation of gases in the atmosphere.

The retraction reads: “Subsequent to acceptance of this paper, the rigour and quality of the peer-review process for this paper was investigated and confirmed to fall beneath the high standards expected by Applications in Engineering Science. After review by additional expert referees, the Editor-in-Chief has lost confidence in the validity of the paper and has decided to retract.”

Retraction in a scientific journal is a serious matter, relatively rare and potentially damaging to the reputation of authors. According to Elsevier’s withdrawal policies, articles may be retracted “to correct errors that impact the findings reported by an article where they are too extensive in the view of the editors to publish a correction, or due to infringements of Elsevier’s journal policies, such as multiple submission, bogus claims of authorship, plagiarism, fraudulent use of data or the like”. None of these reasons for withdrawing the Kubicki paper have been given. Instead there is the pompous reference to a ”fall beneath the high standards expected”, supposedly confirmed by additional unnamed “experts”. Further details about the retraction may emerge given the important issues raised by Elsevier’s action.

Whatever the real reasons behind this retraction, it will not be the first science paper that has met this fate following publicity in the Daily Sceptic and subsequent widespread interest on social media. 

In January 2022, a group of physics scientists led by Profession Gianluca Alimonti of Milan University published a paper in a Springer Nature journal that considered past weather trends. They concluded that the idea we’re in the throes of a ‘climate emergency’ was not supported by the facts. The paper attracted little attention outside academic circles until September 14th when the Daily Sceptic reported on it – and our promotion of the story on X resulted in 9,000 retweets. The story was covered by the Australian and Sky News Australia, after which attacks were launched by activist scientists and journalists such as Michael ‘Hockey Stick’ Mann and Graham Readfearn of the Guardian. After a year of lobbying, Springer Nature retracted the paper claiming it no longer had confidence in the results and conclusions. This surprised many, not least because much of the data came from the International Panel on Climate Change. Science writer Dr. Roger Pielke published a number of leaked emails surrounding the affair and concluded: “Shenanigans continue in climate science, with influential scientists teaming up with journalists to corrupt peer review.”

In September 2023, a departing academic, Dr. Patrick Brown, came clean about a paper he’d written in Nature saying that climate change was increasing the risk of wildfires in California. “I knew not to try to quantify key aspects other than climate change in my research because it would dilute the story that prestigious journals like Nature and its rival Science, want to tell,” he explained. These key aspects, of course, include considering the role of arsonists and forest management. For its part, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change can find little or no evidence of human-caused climate change affecting ‘fire weather’ to date and going forward to 2100. In Brown’s view, climate science has become less about understanding the complexities of the world “and more about serving as a kind of Cassandra, urgently warning the public about the dangers of climate change”.

The Editor-in-Chief of Nature Magdalena Skipper reacted furiously to Brown’s comments, accusing him of “poor research practices” that are “highly irresponsible”, according to the Daily Mail. Despite all the controversy, Brown’s paper has not been retracted.

Dr. Matthew Wielicki had a senior position in the Geological Sciences department of the University of Alabama. His parents were academics and he grew up on a Californian university campus surrounded by freely-exchanged competing ideas. He only ever wanted to be an academic but he gave it up during Covid, seemingly disgusted at the turn against free speech in American universities and the effect it has had on climate science. If you speak out against the accepted narrative “you are a pariah in this community”, he said. Climate change is a “taboo” subject in academia and there is a “disconnect between what the science says and what the narrative in mainstream media is”. It isn’t about finding the truth in open discussion – It’s about silencing those who disagree with you, he observed.

Men in their 30’s shouldn’t be having experimental innoculations in the first place. Experimental drugs are for those who agree to be experimented on or near end of life and other treatments have failed.

Shouldn’t even if surviving these kill shots…. help to keep making more variants which is all at very best these so called ‘vaccines’ offer…

I wonder about quality control. Some of these “vaccines” may be made in state of the art factories and some could be knocked up in a shed. After all there’s a huge demand.

Of course it won’t matter to the manufacturer if some shots are dangerous crap, they have no liability and killing people is probably seen by some as an advantage.

Yeah, these are the sort of “industrial accident” vaccine deaths one should be worried about (and – based on the big recall – is worried about).

The implication here is that we don’t need to worry, because it was a duff batch of “vaccine”, and that’s exceedingly rare, a one-off. Nothing to see here. What I find staggering is that despite the MHRA admitting that people are dying from blood clots after having the experimental injections, even post mortems saying that the “vaccine” caused a person’s death (as in that BBC presenter’s case), they are still concluding that “Review of individual reports and patterns of reporting does not suggest the vaccines played a role in these deaths.” They are lying sacks of shit, completely corrupt.

Two thirty year olds……..

There is a thousand-fold difference in the mortality risk from Covid infection between young and old. Based on World Health Organization data published before the vaccine, the survival rate after infection is 95 percent for those over 70, while for those under 70, it is 99.95 percent. 

When will they ever learn?

We need to keep reminding ourselves that the mortality risk as calculated depends on manipulated PCR tests (everything counted as COVID), and the consequence of denying the sick early, effective outpatient treatment. These two features of this criminal scheme created the high death count that everyone assumes was inevitable. It was not inevitable.

And actually, the death count is not that high in overall terms unless you consider mortality for any period prior to 2008 unbearable and intolerable.

Two men in their thirties lose their lives to a vaccine that only alleviates symptoms for a virus that for both would have had a 99+% survival rate if they caught it.

Japan is the only G7 country whose health authorities have subjected these “vaccines” to any degree of scrutiny. If it weren’t for a leaked biodistribution study from Japan, we would never have known that the gene jabs do not stay at the injection site and travel all round the body, wreaking havoc as they cause the immune system to attack the critical organs of the body, including by crossing the blood-brain barrier.

Now we have the Japanese telling us that there are magnetic metal particles in the “vaccines”. There are huge numbers of videos of horrified “vaccinated” people showing metallic objects magnetised to the injection sites. You can go on the internet and see the blood work of recently “vaccinated” patients and the metallic structures in their blood and being scrutinised by horrified doctors.

Now we’re hearing that the “vaccinated” have 250 times the viral load of unvaccinated people, but appear asymptomatic.

It’s time to consider that these jabs may be something much worse than they purport to be.

Do you have any links to any of these?

If you search microscopy of blood work, you’ll find a discussion between German pathologists and lawyers about the blood work with plenty of scans.

Look for Ryan Cole’s talk at the White Coat Summit, showing the scans of organs affected by the vaccine.

Search for Charles Hoffe for a discussion on the mechanism of micro-clotting in the capillaries and how many patients will die within 3 years. This can be verified with a D-Dimer test.

Also search for magnet vaccine compilation and you’ll find plenty of people posting their horror at their vaccinated arms becoming magnetic.

Thanks Matt – v useful info. – I just watched the link to micro clots and dimer test and it reinforced the horror of this – not the first time I’ve heard this prognosis / evidence but it gets me each time. I pray to god (these days even magic brings me comfort) that my 14 year old remains experimental jab free (and if god doesn’t step up then I am at the ready).

Yeah, there’s nothing more abominable than forcing this poison on children. There are many people praying for the same thing as you. If I were in your position I would look for them and pray together and support each other. Then you can have more people to fight on your side if it comes to that.

It can be called experimental suicide. It is a theme that the Japanese appreciate.

… but isn’t this the whole idea behind a global experimental sequence gene therapy injection trial? Its important for those controlling this project to know which batches are the most effective killing agents.

contaminants. lol

As some brave doctors have pointed out.. there is no package insert.. no stated list of ingredients.. these injections differ from batch to batch.. pockets of plausible deniability..

sterility injections.. kill shots… and slow death shots.. flu shots.. and saline..

Though there is also the ‘hot shot’. Some injections are hotter than others i.e. more potent. This happens with regular injections.

The EMA, before granting the EUA to Pfizer’s concoction, had asked then for details of QA because there were issues with the proportion of the mRNA strands that were whole because in some batches less than 50% were. The point being the too few ‘spike’ proteins would be produced and/or production of incomplete ‘spike’ proteins would cause unpredictable immune responses.
Political pressure was brought and the EUA granted before Pfizer’s response was received.
