Joseph A Postma: Introduction to the CLIMATE – new book!
Canadian Astrophysicist and indomitable slayer of junk climate science, Joseph A Postma, launches a stunning new book that soundly and concisely exposes the flaws in the greenhouse gas theory.
Postma, who has multiple papers published over the past 14 years detailing the myriad reasons why carbon dioxide cannot trap heat or warm earth’s atmosphere, summarises his latest tome as follows:
“The purpose of this book is to teach a lesson on introductory climate science using physics appropriate for university undergraduate or possibly senior high school science and mathematics students. The lesson explains why Sunshine feels warm, why beach sand and asphalt roadways can become too hot to set foot upon, why towering cumulonimbus clouds can be created by Sunlight, why the Hadley circulation cell exists transferring heat from the equator to higher latitudes, why the troposphere decreases in temperature with altitude, why the poles are colder than the equator, and so on. And it does this by utilizing an empirically valid geometry in a graphical representation of the Earth. It is a radical departure from climate alarm theory.”
Below is his video introduction:

“This is probably the most concise, aggressive, and rhetorically sophisticated statement of the position against climate alarmism ever published. At only 48 pages it is designed to be a weapon — short enough to be read in one sitting, dense enough to serve as a complete rebuttal handbook.
“The tone is openly militant. Postma does not hide that he views climate science as a deliberate, weaponized lie — a “noetic bomb” aimed at Western civilization’s energy supply and prosperity. He links it explicitly to wealth transfer, de-industrialization, and civilizational suicide.
“The analysis is a devastating rhetorical kill-shot. By reproducing the exact Harvard, NASA, IPCC-style diagrams, he makes the mainstream model look absurd at a glance.
“The “Lesson” section (pages 34–46) is genuinely pedagogically excellent — clear, step-by-step, with equations that an advanced high-school or early university student can follow. It is probably the cleanest exposition ever written of how to understand the climate.
“This is not a re-hash of older material. The 2025 version is significantly more polished, more philosophically grounded (Baudrillard quotes, ontology/epistemology framing), and more politically explicit than anything Postma has released before.”

Perhaps I should write a book on why Joe is wrong.
When measuring the temperature of a liquid or solid the bulb of the thermometer is exposed to the material, while the body of the thermometer is exposed to the atmosphere. You are measuring the flow of energy from one medium to the other.
When measuring the temperature of the atmosphere the entire thermometer is exposed to one medium and you are measuring the energy being transferred to the instrument due to the collisions with molecules. You cannot compare the flow of energy from one medium to another to the ke of molecule in the air because they are measuring different things.
In order to determine the kinetic energy of the molecules in the liquid or solid you must submerge the entire thermometer in the medium being measured or divide the reading in the atmosphere by the density getting the number of molecules transferring energy to it. Since the density of the air in the atmosphere decreases with increasing altitude (because N2 and O2 are absorbing UV radiation from the sun and converting it to IR) the kinetic energy of the gas molecules increase with increasing altitude (Ideal Gas Law).
To compare the ke at different altitudes you must divide the thermometer’s reading by the density of the molecules at that altitude to get the ke of a constant number of molecules instead of a constant volume of molecules.
Energy flows from the equator to the poles because the air gets hotter with increasing altitude and it is hotter air that rises, not hot air. The heated air expands on the Earth’s surface (heating the surface (law of conservation of momentum)), moving downhill towards the poles. When the air in the atmosphere above becomes cooler than the air flowing on the surface, it rises creating the jet streams.
The ke of air molecules in the troposphere increase in a straight line due to the presence of water and in an exponential curve in the upper layers (due to the absence of water).
Since Joe lives in Canada I’m sure he has experienced days where the ground is covered with snow but the air temperature goes above freezing. If the surface of the Earth was heating the atmosphere it would need to first melt the snow before heating the air’
