The strong greenhouse effect in the early Earth could have resulted from accumulation in the atmosphere of CO2 emitted by volcanoes. Imagine an Earth initially covered by ice. Why volcanic CO2 would accumulate in the atmosphere under such conditions? - TL Winslow, Pansophist master of STEM and world history

Over 450 Climate Scientists Say Advertising Industry Must End ‘Complicity’ in Climate Crisis. For years, top advertising and PR firms have profited by helping the fossil fuel industry spread misinformation, set up front groups, promote false solutions, and obstruct climate action. Climate scientists are demanding PR firms part ways with climate deniers

“Hansen vs. The World” (Richard Kerr on uncertain climate science in 1989) - Exxon
Sorry, the real history reveals that Exxon knew more than most about the rise in atmospheric CO2, but too bad, they fell for the fake physics hoax that CO2 can cause global warming that is ruled out by its frigid 15 micron thermal radiation.
Here's a direct quote from my Climatescope, that nobody here seems to have read:
[[
On Mar. 26, 1979 Edward Garvey, Henry Shaw, Wallace Broecker, and Taro Takahashi of Exxon makes a
<a href="http://www.climatefiles.com/exxonmobil/1979-exxon-presentation-greenhouse-gases-noaa/">proposal</a> to help NOAA assess the greenhouse effect, actually wanting to assess the impact on Exxon's business and enhance its public relations image, acknowledging that increased atmospheric CO2 levels could be the result of fossil fuel combustion;
on Nov. 19 Exxon's Henry Shaw sends a <a href="http://www.climatefiles.com/exxonmobil/1979-exxon-memo-on-atmospheric-science-research-to-influence-legislation/">memo</a> to H.N. Weinberg on Exxon's research on the "potential greenhouse effect", urging that Exxon participate to "influence possible legislation on environmental controls" while starting a "very aggressive defensive program";
on Jan. 29, 1980 Exxon's Walt Eckelmann sends a <a href="http://www.climatefiles.com/exxonmobil/1980-memo-on-exxons-view-and-position-on-the-greenhouse-effect/">memo</a> to Morey O'Loughlin, reporting that Exxon's Science and Technology Dept. views the build-up of CO2 in the atmosphere as a "potentially serious problem requiring the results of a huge world-wide research effort", detailing ongoing research efforts incl. the $600K/year program to determine whether the primary cause of atmospheric CO2 buildup is fossil fuels or forest clearing;
on June 9, 1980 Exxon's H.N. Weinberg sends a <a href=" http://www.climatefiles.com/exxonmobil/co2-research-program/1980-internal-exxon-memorandum-greenhouse-program-2/">memo</a> to H. Shaw and N.R. Werthamer about Exxon's Greenhouse Program, detailing an argument over whether the oceans can act as a global carbon sink, with Weinberg claiming that the oceans can release CO2 at "the upwelling zones";
on Dec. 18, 1980 Exxon's Henry Shaw sends a
<a href="http://www.climatefiles.com/exxonmobil/1980-exxon-memo-on-the-co2-greenhouse-effect-and-current-programs-studying-the-issue/">memo</a> to T.K. Kett reporting that forests are a CO2 sink, hence deforestation is partly responsible for increased atmospheric CO2 levels, and that another CO2 sink must be found, citing disputes over climate sensitivity, with the soundbyte:
"General concensus [sic] will not be reached until such time as a significant temperature increase can be detected above the natural random temperature fluctuations in average global climate. The earliest that such discreet signals will be able to be measured is after the year 2000";
on Sept. 2, 1982 Exxon's Roger Cohen sends a
<a href=" http://www.climatefiles.com/exxonmobil/1982-exxon-memo-summarizing-climate-modeling-and-co2-greenhouse-effect-research/">memo</a> to Al Natkin summarizing company climate model research, with the soundbyte that a "clear scientific consensus has emerged regarding the effects of increased atmospheric CO2."
The <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/rrapier/2019/11/03/exxon-knew-did-they-though/">Exxon Knew Movement</a> that "Exxon knew about climate change" is born, although only a few of their scientists believed in it.

What Is the Antarctic Volcanoes Project?
It's too bad the current brouhaha about CO2 is so narrowly focused. So what if a higher concentration in the atmosphere raises global average temps? If higher temps were accompanied by increased atmospheric moisture, it would even out around the world and turn it into a paradise planet, greening the deserts so that the teeming billions could be fed. Cold temperatures are inimical to life, not a goal of life.
Too bad, it might take a lot more CO2 than you think to really change the global weather, but not because it has any control over Earth's surface temperatures. In fact atmospheric CO2 can't melt an ice cube with its 15 micron main radiation wavelength that has a Planck radiation temperature of -80C, colder than dry ice (-78.5C).
Why do they call CO2 greenhouse gas? Because plants breathe it, and they pump it into greenhouses to help them grow and thrive. Polar regions and deserts look good in postcards, but who wants to live there. Meanwhile global pop. is zooming, so obviously the real answer is to pump more CO2 and water vapor into the atmosphere to turn the Earth into a greenhouse, turning deserts both hot and cold into lush green crop-growing regions like 35 million years ago when the avg. global temp was 88F and the CO2 level was 1K parts per million (vs. 415 PPM today). So what if we lose some desert polar regions and even some yummy coastline, the adjustments will be inconvenient but temporary, but I prefer shirt-sleeve weather to Frosty the Snowman. How many arctic animals can't adapt to a warmer climate? What animal needs to live in ice and snow and wouldn't like a vacation to Tahiti? They can lose the fat, hair or feathers.
The real question is can we make and keep the global CO2/H20 levels high enough, and for how long? Sooner or later mass global starvation will become unstoppable if world pop. keeps climbing, and this is the way to forestall it, if we act soon enough. Don't give me them Malthusian objections, give me some CO2/H20 solutions. I like a paradise Earth in the possibility window.
So, while the world is debating the horrors, extent or lack thereof of global warming caused by CO2, let's engineer the CO2/H20 solution to making the Earth a warm temperate planet from pole to pole with no deserts or ice wastelands, allowing vastly more food to be grown and turning poor nations rich. I DON'T mean a planet with wild swings between super-hot summers and super-cold winters, but one that is warmer than now everywhere, but moister and greener, with a giant network of plant life helping to avoid extremes. Since CO2 and water vapor are the keys, and the paltry amounts in the atmosphere need to be increased as soon as possible to turn deserts green and get the warming process off to a good start, but the new levels have to be maintained permanently, I'm looking to remote Antarctica (which is really a sea) as the most promising source for unlimited CO2 and water vapor generation, given that noxious emissions (sulfur dioxide, etc.) can be controlled.
This blog is for posting news on the world climate situation, scientific and political, along with my own articles. I'm sure it will start out with hardly any interest or followers, but I'm hoping that it will attract the smartest people eventually and in the end I hope for a global consensus that if it can be done it must be done.
So what is the Antarctic Volcanoes Project? My working idea is that an international effort to reactivate as many volcanoes in Antarctica as possible in an ideal location for distributing the CO2/H20 will produce the best and most cost-effective results. Sorry, one-worlders, it won't give you a license to override and control any country's economy, but if your country is suffering from lack of food you will be too busy expanding farming to care. Hence until I think of or hear about a better way to increase world CO2/H20 levels, this is my pet project. If you are a scientist, please climb aboard my AVP Express and let's make it happen.
It Would Be Funny If It Were's So Sad
It would be funny it weren't so sad, but when the scientists say "greenhouse gas" they are using a malaprop. It should be greenhouse GLASS, because that's why a greenhouse stays warm, by glass walls stopping convection of air and trapping heat. Yes, CO2 is pumped into greenhouses, but not for heating purposes, only to help plants BREATHE. So the whole sucker's game of "greenhouse gas" must truly be for the purpose of stopping more vegetation from growing and feeding the teeming billions. Is that their true goal? Another blip on the horizon is the promise of melting permafrost releasing gigantic amounts of CO2 from the Arctic not Antarctic sector. Let's hope we at least get some more good CO2 that way.
