Welcome to a special simulcast of The Dr. Robert E. Marx Show and Climate Change: The Hoax of CO₂ Revealed. In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Robert E. Marx revisits his hallmark topic of climate change in light of the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI). With AI demanding unprecedented amounts of energy, Dr. Marx argues that the global narrative around CO₂ is about to be sidelined.
1. Why Climate Change is Back on the Agenda
AI is here to stay—and it’s energy-hungry.
A single 200,000 sq. ft. AI data facility consumes energy equal to 30,000 U.S. homes.
To power AI’s future, only two sources can realistically deliver enough energy:
Fossil fuels
Nuclear power
2. CO₂: The “Hoax” That Won’t Hold Up
Dr. Marx reiterates his central thesis from his book Climate Change: The Hoax of CO₂ Revealed:
CO₂ is not the driver of global warming.
Scientific evidence shows warming patterns that don’t align with CO₂ increases.
Past hoaxes compared: Russia collusion, Hunter Biden laptop denials, and now climate hysteria.
3. Regulatory Shifts
EPA administrator Lee Elden is rolling back late-stage Biden CO₂ restrictions.
Renewed emphasis on realistic energy density:
Oil and gas molecules vs. solar/wind (117 times greater energy yield).
Solar and wind simply cannot scale to meet AI’s needs.
4. Evidence Against CO₂ as the Climate Culprit
Sun Output: Since 1850, increased solar radiation has been measured at 1,360 watts per square yard, directly contributing to warming.
Milankovitch Cycles: Earth’s elliptical orbit periodically brings the planet closer to the sun, driving natural warming phases lasting thousands of years.
Geological Record: Fossils of coral and dinosaurs in Alaska prove the region once had a warm climate unrelated to modern CO₂.
Historical Temperature Spikes: Ice cores and mud cores show eight warming peaks in the last 5,000 years higher than today’s levels—all unrelated to CO₂.
5. The Scientific Divide
Distinguished scientists such as William Happer and European researchers argue the atmosphere’s CO₂ absorption capacity is already saturated.
Critics disagree, but Dr. Marx points out that every major prediction of catastrophe (melting Arctic ice by 2015/2017, flooded cities, extreme hurricanes) has failed.
6. What It Means Going Forward
AI’s massive energy demand will override climate fear campaigns.
Fossil fuels and nuclear power will be essential, not optional.
Common sense and historical evidence show CO₂ fears are misplaced.
AI will push climate change rhetoric aside because of the unavoidable need for dense energy sources.
CO₂ is not the enemy—historical and geological data show natural cycles drive climate change.
Every prediction of climate catastrophe tied to CO₂ has been wrong.
To compete globally in AI, America must embrace fossil fuels and nuclear energy without fear of CO₂ emissions.
Dr. Marx hints at future episodes exploring AI itself—its benefits, risks, and the societal shifts it will trigger.
His book Climate Change: The Hoax of CO₂ Revealed remains a cornerstone reference for listeners seeking deeper insight.
