A couple of Irish scientists (father and son) did some brilliant work on the earths atmosphere a few years ago but it was never really covered by the MSM and I only found it recently. I've read through the summary of thier work (linked below) and have downloaded and printed out all three of the papers they published (only read the first one so far). What they appear to have done is disprove the 'greenhouse effect theory' which underpins the entire global warming narrative. (Is it true that one of Greta's relatives was the author of the greenhouse effect theory, I'm sure I read it somewhere recenty).
Since the man made global warming theory is dependent on the greenhouse effect theory being true, by disproving the greenhouse effect theory they have in effect disproven the man made global warming theory. When I read the summary initially I couldn't believe it and expected to find it had been debunked or something but as far as I can tell is has just been ignored. The data they used is available to the public, their calculations and formulas are available to the public and the experiments they did are repeatable.
I'm not a scientists so I am open to the idea that this could be another distraction but if these guys are for real and their experiments and data is to be believed, man made global warming is the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on mankind.
Anyway, here's a link to the summary which also links to the papers which can be downloaded. The comments are worth reading too as it's worth noting that the authors consistently reply and defend their conclusions in a polite and scientific way.
I'll be interested to know what people think of this.
One thing I know for sure. The science is not settled because science is never settled so Greta is lying when she claims it is.

Edited to add the summary & conclusion for those too lazy/busy to read the entire thing as it's a bit of a long read.
It is often said that the greenhouse effect and man-made global warming theories are “simple physics”, and that increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere must cause global warming.
It can be intimidating to question something that is claimed so definitively to be “simple”. Like the story about the “Emperor’s New Clothes”, most of us don’t want to acknowledge that we have problems with something that everyone is telling us is “simple”, for fear that we will look stupid.
Nonetheless, we found some of the assumptions and predictions of the theory to be questionable, and we have no difficulty in asking questions about things we are unsure on:
He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask a question remains a fool forever. – old Chinese proverb
So, we decided to look carefully at the theory to test its reliability. When we looked in detail at the so-called “simple physics”, we found that it was actually “simplistic physics”.
Our experimental results show that the theory was just plain wrong!
Remarkably, nobody seems to have actually checked experimentally to see if the greenhouse effect theory was correct. It is true that the greenhouse effect theory is based on experimental observations, e.g., a) the different infra-red properties of the atmospheric gases; b) the infra-red nature of the Earth’s outgoing radiation and c) the observation that fossil fuel usage is increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
However, being based on experimentally-verified results is not the same thing as being actually experimentally verified.
At any rate, it turns out that the concentration of infrared-active gases in the atmosphere has no effect on the temperature profile of the atmosphere. So, doubling, trebling or quadrupling the concentration of infrared-active gases, e.g., carbon dioxide, will make no difference to global temperatures – after all, if you “double” nothing, you still end up with nothing!
The current climate models predict that if we continue increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere it will cause dramatic man-made global warming. On this basis, huge policy changes are being proposed/implemented in desperate attempts to urgently reduce our fossil fuel usage, in the hope that this will help us “avoid dangerous climate change”. For example, see the Stern Review (2006) or the Garnaut Climate Change Reviews (2008).
The different policies being introduced specifically to reduce our carbon dioxide emissions vary from international treaties, e.g., the Kyoto Protocol (2005), to national laws, e.g., the UK’s Climate Change Act, 2008, and even regional legislation e.g., California (USA)’s Global Warming Solutions Act, 2006.
Clearly, if the greenhouse effect theory is wrong, then man-made global warming theory is also wrong. The results of the current climate models which are based on the greenhouse effect theory are therefore invalid, and are inappropriate for basing policy on. So, the various policies to reduce our fossil fuel usage, specifically to “stop global warming”, which have been introduced (or are being planned) are no longer justified.
There has been so much confidence placed in the greenhouse effect theory, that most people seem to have thought that “the scientific debate is over”. We believe that our results show that the debate over the man-made global warming theory is indeed now “over”. The theory was just plain wrong.
There may be other reasons why we might want to reduce our fossil fuel usage, but global warming is not one.
Any improvements that meteorologists can make in their weather predictions are of a huge benefit to society, because it means that we can better plan for whatever weather occurs.
The implications of our research for global warming are significant. However, for us, a more important result of our research is that we have identified several important insights into the physics of the atmosphere, which do not seem to have been noticed until now. These insights open up several new exciting avenues for future research, and in each of our papers we describe some possible research projects that we think could be informative.
These insights also have great significance for understanding the weather, and we suspect that they will lead to major improvements in weather prediction. We believe that more accurate and reliable weather predictions will be of tremendous benefit to society, in everything from people being able to make better day-to-day plans to improved agricultural planning to being better able to predict and cope with extreme weather disasters. So, we hope that our findings will be of use to meteorologists.
