A top climate scientist, Dr. Richard Lindzen of MIT, has declared Net Zero a “depopulation scam,” exposing the flawed science behind global climate policies. In a new paper with Princeton’s Dr. William Happer, he argues that CO2’s role in catastrophic warming is overstated, undermining the push to eliminate fossil fuels.

Their April 28 study, grounded in decades of radiation physics, finds that current CO2 levels have little remaining capacity to trap heat, rendering Net Zero efforts scientifically baseless and economically disastrous. As scrutiny of climate models intensifies, the findings align with moves by President Trump’s administration to dismantle regulations rooted in these questionable assumptions.
Naturalnews.com reports: Lindzen and Happer’s analysis hinges on a fundamental physical principle: CO2’s heat-trapping capacity diminishes as its atmospheric concentration rises – a concept known as saturation. At today’s level of approximately 420 parts per million (ppm), they argue, additional CO2 contributes negligible warming. Applied to climate models, this means even achieving Net Zero emissions globally by 2050 would suppress temperature rises by just 0.06°F to 0.5°F at most. “The data shows that CO2 is now a weak greenhouse gas. The notion that it’s ‘the main driver of climate change’ is scientifically indefensible,” said Happer, an emeritus Princeton professor.
The pair also reject claims linking CO2 to extreme weather, emphasizing that natural climate variability and other factors dominate weather patterns. Historical temperature records from the EPA itself, they note, reveal that U.S. heatwaves in the 1930s exceeded today’s trends, yet CO2 levels were far lower. Lindzen criticized climate models for consistently overestimating warming by 30 – 50 percent, concluding, “They’re not just wrong – they’re dangerously misleading.”
Happer and Lindzen warn that Net Zero mandates could devastate economies and food security. Eliminating fossil fuels would disrupt critical infrastructure, including nitrogen-based fertilizers, which rely on natural gas and nourish half the global population. “More CO2 means more food,” said Lindzen. Doubling atmospheric CO2 to 800 ppm could boost global crop yields by 60 percent, particularly in drought-prone regions – yet such growth would be stifled by policies demonizing emissions.
The economists’ cost-benefit analyses further underscore their critique: Virtually no measurable climate benefit justifies the trillion-dollar subsidies for wind and solar farms. “This isn’t science; it’s a wealth transfer scam,” Happer asserted, citing the $500 billion U.S. climate spending program. Meanwhile, the poorest populations – reliant on affordable energy – face drastic consequences as fossil fuels vanish.
