I certainly can.
So there's a new study that CO2 is effectively negligible as an explanatory climate change factor since 2000.
There's a new regression analysis that shows natural changes in cloud albedo, which I think albedo is like how much sun is reflected off the ice and off the clouds.
Absorbed shortwave forcing and solar activity drive climate change since 2000, not CO2.
Anthropogenic, meaning from people, CO2 has almost no explanatory power as a causal factor.
And this independent researcher, Dai Ato,
From Japan, use global temperature, humidity, solar, and albedo data.
And it reaffirms conclusions from prior works like
I forget, I can't pronounce this name.
It's a Greek name, Koutsouianis in 2024 and Sun et al in 2023.
So it looks like basically the natural forces are explaining all the CO2 or all the climate change and CO2 doesn't really make any difference.
So I know Scott, if he got into the story, of course, would say.
Wait until you find out about climate models.
Yeah, well, I think it is a brilliant stroke on Trump's part because he you know, this is an example back to what Scott was saying earlier about how we're you know, people are impacted.
when you got to stand in line for four hours, they're going to remember that.
And they're going to say, why am I standing in line for four hours?
And I think everybody pretty much agrees, even on the Democrat side, have admitted that the Democrats are the one causing this problem by not funding DHS.
And so that is something that really could move the needle politically.
Just having hundreds of people in an airport
waiting around for four hours and maybe missing their flight.
