A new study shows most modern warming comes from the sun, not CO2. Dutch researcher Ad Huijser analyzed NASA satellite data and Argo ocean records and found that Earth is gaining more energy than greenhouse gases can account for. The planet's energy imbalance is rising by about 0.049 watts...

Climate models predict rising CO2 will reduce the heat escaping into space. The IPCC expected outgoing long-wave radiation to fall by about 0.8 W/m² since 2000. However, satellite data show the opposite has actually occurred. Using NASA observations, a 2025 study finds outgoing long-wave radiation increased, not decreased. At the same time, absorbed solar radiation rose sharply, about 0.8 W/m². That increase in incoming sunlight explains nearly all of the rise in Earth's energy imbalance. The expected CO2-driven reduction in heat loss was not detected. The main driver here is clouds. Changes in cloud cover strongly track both absorbed sunlight and outgoing heat. Fewer or thinner clouds reflect less sunlight back to space. More solar energy enters. The surface warms. And heat loss increases. After accounting for clouds, temperature, and water vapor, the remaining greenhouse contribution is statistically insignificant. Since 2000, Earth has warmed slightly. But because more sunlight is getting in, not because less heat is getting out.

A peer-reviewed study finds that most of the temperature rise observed over the past century in the US isn't from greenhouse gases, but instead from roads, buildings and parking lots. By comparing raw US temperature data from stations in areas with different population densities, the study found that 65% of the warming since 1895 is explained by the urban heat island effect, and another 8% by urban growth into once-rural areas. That's nearly three quarters of the warming. No CO2 involved. Crucially, NOAA's adjusted data hides this effect. 'Homogenization' smooths it out, a process the study's author, Dr Roy Spencer, calls "urban blending". It's not global warming. It's urbanization.

A new study analysed decades of US farm data matched with satellite measurements. The result shows higher CO2 significantly increased yields. The researchers found that for every 1 ppm rise in CO2, yields increased about 0.4% for corn, 0.6% for soybeans, and up to 1% for wheat. Applied historically, rising CO2 explains a large share of US productivity gains since the 1940s. Yet, many climate impact models, promoted by the media, downplay or omit this fertilization effect. The impacts are seen across the planet, too. Satellite data show the Earth is about 5-10% greener today than just 20 years ago, and roughly 30% greener than in the early satellite era of the 1980s. Mainstream climate science is ignoring CO2's measurable benefits.

Sunlight at Earth's surface has surged since the 1980s. Germany's Potsdam station shows 15 more W/m² of solar energy reaching the ground than during the 1970s dimming era. The Netherlands, Switzerland and Japan all show the same trend. Austria shows even more: 23 extra W/m². It's called global brightening. As air pollution dropped, the atmosphere cleared and sunlight flooded back in. That increase in surface radiation is 10 times larger than the forcing from CO2 over the same period. In short, the air got cleaner, the sunlight stronger and the land a little warmer. The data say so, the physics say so, it's only the narrative that doesn't.

Antarctica Has Not Warmed An analysis by Ned Nikolov, Ph.D. shows no meaningful warming across Antarctica over the satellite era. Two independent temperature records were examined from 1979 to 2023. First, reconstructed surface air temperatures from Ma et al. (2025) show a continent-wide trend of about +0.032C per decade, with today COLDER than 1979. Second, UAH satellite data for south of 60S show an even smaller trend: +0.017C per decade, which is effectively flat. Two independent systems. The same conclusion. Since 1979, Antarctica has undergone no statistically meaningful warming, despite atmospheric CO2 rising by nearly 100 ppm.

Climate change is real. The EPA's decision that greenhouse gases are not a public health issue flies in the face of decades of data about the negative public health impact of greenhouse gases, including heat exposure and fire risk. Colorado is all too familiar with the effects of climate change, seeing the three largest fires in our state's history and the most destructive in the last five years. Despite the EPA's denial of scientific reality, Colorado will continue to achieve our ambitious clean energy goals to save people more on energy bills, reduce emissions, and improve our air quality and health.

Chris Camillo explains how Bloom Energy is solving AI data center energy usage problems… “ $BE is one of the only companies in the world that has a method to essentially bring almost an infinite amount of energy to these data centers." And we won't get into all the technology, but they are now working with hyperscalers and they are a resource for energy that will allow a data center to get ramped up quicker. "So, even though it costs a little bit more money today to put an energy cell from Bloom, an energy box from Bloom, which are energy cells, it essentially takes things like natural gas, but instead of burning the natural gas, there is a chemical process that turns that natural gas into energy for the data center."

Elon Musk reveals the vision he's most excited to see in his lifetime "Earth only receives about half a billionth of the Sun's energy. The Sun is essentially all the energy" "If you wanted to harness a millionth of the sun's energy, that would be about 100,000x more electricity than we currently generate on Earth for all of civilization" "The only way to scale is to go to space with solar. Launching from Earth, you can get to about a terawatt per year" "Beyond that, you want to launch from the moon. You want to have a mass driver on the moon" "With that mass driver on the moon, you could do probably a petawatt per year"

🚨NEW: Elon Musk explains the reason behind the SpaceX and xAI merger. "In order to understand the universe, you must explore the universe. That's the motivation behind the combination of SpaceX and xAI is to accelerate humanity's future in understanding the universe and extending the light of consciousness to the stars. So in the grand scheme of things, when you look at how much energy Earth is actually using for civilization, we're only right now using, call it roughly 1% of the potential energy of Earth. And if we wanted to use even a millionth of the sun's energy, that would be roughly a million times more energy than civilization currently uses. The only way to access that energy, the energy of the sun is to extend beyond Earth. Earth is really a tiny, tiny dust Mote in a vast darkness. The sun is 99.8% of all mass in the solar system, so you have to expand beyond the tiny dust mode that is earth to make any significant dent in using the sun's energy like says, you'd have to expand roughly a million times just to get to 1,000,000th of our sun's energy, and then going beyond that, exploring extending to the Galaxy. So the the next step beyond Earth data centers is our Earth orbital data centers, and we'll be launching with SpaceX orbital data centers at the 100 to 200 gigawatt per year level, not cumulative, I mean, per year. And ultimately, we see a path to maybe launching as much as a terawatt per year of compute from Earth."

The Guardian claims ocean warming is causing a 'staggering' collapse in marine life, but the study it cites actually shows the opposite. When a year is warmer, fish biomass is found to increase - by as much as 24%. When years turn colder, biomass falls - by around 15%. That is the observed data. To preserve the climate narrative, however, the authors then abandon real year-to-year results and switch to a modeled decadal trend. The model assigns warming a negative effect and reports a decline. That decline is not observed. It is modeled. The authors go on to admit they cannot separate temperature effects from overfishing, which is the primary, well-known driver of fish declines worldwide. Since fishing pressure is not included, the model loads losses onto temperature by default. Even though, as per the study's own data, warmer years mean more fish. The collapse exists only in the model. And the headlines.

Wasted food is a financial and environmental bummer. It costs the average person $728 per year, and it amounts to about the same planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions every year as 42 coal-fired power plants. Can buying produce that would otherwise go to waste be the answer?

This fallacy that 'actions by our governments' will limit global warming to about 2.7°C is very dangerous. We could experience this level of warming already around 2050, based on real forcing (greenhouse gases and aerosols) changes and observations of Earth’s Energy Imbalance

"The most important thing in the next 3-4 years is data centers in space. In every way, data centers in space, from a first principles perspective, are superior to data centers on earth. In space, you can keep a satellite in the sun 24 hours a day. The sun is 30% more intense, which results in six times more irradiance than on Earth. So you don't need a battery. The cooling in these data centers is incredibly complicated. Space cooling is free. You just put a radiator on the dark side of the satellite. The only thing faster than a laser going through a fiber optic cable is a laser going through absolute vacuum. Link satellites with lasers, and you have a faster and more coherent network than any data center on Earth."

CO2 is treated like pollution, but it is the carbon source for life. Plants use CO2, water, and sunlight to build sugars, (i.e. photosynthesis) - the base of the food chain. No CO2. No plants. No biosphere as we know it. NASA satellite data shows Earth has greened significantly since the early 1980s. CO2 fertilization is the major driver. Commercial greenhouses often raise CO2 to 1,500 ppm to boost yields. For most of Earth history, CO2 was far higher than it is today - far higher than the levels in commercial greenhouses, even. During parts of the deep past, life exploded at more than 6,000 ppm. Yet today, at 420 ppm, the gas plants need to live has been turned into a political toxin. But CO2 is not pollution, it is the backbone of life.

New research says it isn't CO2 driving the climate, rather it's gradients and water vapor. A 2025 study in Frontiers argues the real thermostat is the vertical temperature gradient and the water cycle. Water vapor and clouds account for about 95% of the atmosphere's radiative effect. CO2 contributes roughly 4-5% with only 4% of that human-made. Without the lapse rate, i.e. the steady cooling with altitude, extra CO2 would have no warming effect at all. On Earth, air cools about 6.5C per km, and that gradient, not carbon, sets surface warmth. In their model, doubling CO2 adds at most 1.5C, or nothing. Moisture, clouds and natural dynamics run the climate. CO2 is just along for the ride.
