If you have been missing Ron’s guest posts, it’s because he has been busy writing a new book, Sunset on Net Zero: A Heretic’s Guide to the Futile CO2 Target. It explains in understandable language the science and economics of why Net Zero CO2 is pointless, unachievable, and unfair.
Sunset picks up where his first book, Sunlight on Climate Change: A Heretic’s Guide to Global Climate Hysteria, left off in 2020.
That book brought Barmby into contact with the greatest minds of today in physics, meteorology, economics, engineering, and the geosciences who are working toward an understanding of climate change, concomitant with the scientific method.
This new body of scientific knowledge discredits the claim of an existential climate crisis, but it is largely written for those with advanced scientific degrees.
Barmby again breaks down the science in lucid detail to explain why Net Zero is pointless. CO2 cannot possibly be the Earth’s thermostat, while El Niño, clouds, and the Urban Heat Island effect are overlooked.
Leaning on his own (and many others) extensive background in energy engineering and economics, he details why Net Zero cannot be achieved with the technology and materials at hand.
Real-world multi-billion-dollar examples of green energy projects and green machines that fail the tests of reliability and affordability presage failure or bankruptcy.
Which is why Net Zero is also unfair; it shifts jobs and wealth from those nations that embraced it to those that wisely ignored it, and imposes dire agricultural and environmental costs on future generations.
The proponents of Net Zero CO2 are economical with both scientific evidence and the truth. They wrongly propose that eliminating fossil fuels will enable humans to control the climate, while failing to provide a viable replacement for them.
If you are looking for a very readable book on the scientific method, observations on climate change, and the engineering challenges to eliminating carbon dioxide, Sunset on Net Zero is it.

I love the graphic on the front cover. It speaks volumes.
Cute how he tosses in the infamous hockey stick!
It’s by Jane Everett, https://www.janeeverett.ca/. She literally has more talent in her finger than I do; she drew the cover images on my Sunset and Sunlight books with her finger on an ipad in about 60 seconds.
She did an excellent job with it. Can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of the book.
