This is Gregg Braden — a geologist and best-selling author who’s been studying this for decades. ⁣⁣⁣ And he just detonated one of the biggest narratives in modern politics. ⁣⁣⁣ 𝗖𝗟𝗜𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗘 𝗜𝗦 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟. ⁣⁣⁣ But here’s the part that makes the room go silent: ⁣⁣⁣ 𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵. 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘢 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵. ⁣⁣⁣ He didn’t hedge. He didn’t caveat. He said it straight. ⁣⁣⁣ And yes — before anyone freaks out — he addressed CO₂ head-on. ⁣⁣⁣ 𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘊𝘖₂ 𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘴 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 10, 20, 50, 100 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘨𝘰? 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘺𝘦𝘴. ⁣⁣⁣ Then he asked the question nobody in power wants asked: ⁣⁣⁣ 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘢 𝘣𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨? ⁣⁣⁣ And answered it himself: ⁣⁣⁣ 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰. ⁣⁣⁣ Right now, CO₂ sits around 440 parts per million. ⁣⁣⁣ In Earth’s history? It’s been far higher. ⁣⁣⁣ Cretaceous period: over 1,000 ppm. Jurassic: over 1,000 ppm. Triassic: around 2,000 ppm. ⁣⁣⁣ And what did the planet look like then? ⁣⁣⁣ 𝗟𝗨𝗦𝗛. 𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗡. 𝗟𝗜𝗙𝗘 𝗔𝗕𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗔𝗡𝗧. ⁣⁣⁣ Braden pointed out something else that breaks the script entirely: ⁣⁣⁣ There are periods in geologic history where CO₂ is high and temperatures are low — and times where the opposite happens. ⁣⁣⁣ 𝗜𝗧’𝗦 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗔 𝗢𝗡𝗘-𝗧𝗢-𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡. ⁣⁣⁣ So where is most of the CO₂ actually coming from? ⁣⁣⁣ According to Braden — and NASA research — over 90% comes from the oceans. ⁣⁣⁣ Warm water holds less gas. When oceans warm, they release CO₂. ⁣⁣⁣ And here’s the part that wrecks the man-made narrative: ⁣⁣⁣ 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗢𝗖𝗘𝗔𝗡𝗦 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗠 𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥𝗡𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗛 — 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗠 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗧𝗢𝗣. ⁣⁣⁣ Glaciers are melting from below. Heat is rising from tectonic processes — not trapping gases above. ⁣⁣⁣ Braden says this cycle occurs roughly every 12,500 years, driven by activity deep in the Earth’s core, moving through the mantle and crust — triggering volcanic and tectonic activity. ⁣⁣⁣ Which, coincidentally… ⁣⁣⁣ 𝗜𝗦 𝗘𝗫𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗟𝗬 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗪𝗘’𝗥𝗘 𝗦𝗘𝗘𝗜𝗡𝗚. ⁣⁣⁣ None of this fits the bumper-sticker version of “the science.” None of it works for carbon taxes, control schemes, or climate panic politics. ⁣⁣⁣ Which is why voices like this get buried, smeared, or ignored. ⁣⁣⁣ But geology doesn’t care about your narrative. And the planet doesn’t read press releases.
