Reexamining the global warming narrative: Insights from “The Satanic Gases” by Patrick J. Michaels and Robert C. Balling Jr.
09/11/2025 / By Ramon Tomey
Patrick J. Michaels and Robert C. Balling Jr. argue in “The Satanic Gases” that mainstream panic over global warming is politically motivated rather than scientifically sound, criticizing figures like Al Gore for exploiting extreme weather events for political gain.
The authors demonstrate that climate models have consistently overstated warming trends, with real-world data showing minimal temperature increases in over 80 percent of the troposphere — undermining claims of rapid climate change.
Contrary to apocalyptic predictions, rising CO? levels enhance plant growth, agricultural productivity and ecosystem health, with studies confirming a global “greening” effect.
Federal funding and institutional incentives bias research toward alarmism, with scientists incentivized to perpetuate exaggerated narratives despite contradictory evidence.
The Kyoto Protocol and similar mitigation efforts are deemed costly and futile, with the authors advocating instead for adaptation strategies and evidence-based policymaking free from political distortions.
