Verification of the Claim

The claim is ACCURATE.

Here are the key findings:

• Dai Ato published a paper titled "Multivariate Analysis Rejects the Theory of Human-caused Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Increase: The Sea Surface Temperature Rules" in Science of Climate Change (Volume 4.2, 2024)¹²³
• The study performed multiple linear regression analysis using annual changes in atmospheric CO₂ levels as the objective variable⁴²
• Sea surface temperature (SST) and human emissions were used as the explanatory factors¹⁴³
• The analysis covered the period from 1959 to 2022²⁴¹
• The paper explicitly states: "Multiple linear regression analysis was performed using the annual changes in atmospheric CO₂ levels for each year as the objective variable. The SST and human emissions for each year were the explanatory factors."²

While the paper's conclusion was that human emissions were not statistically significant as a predictor (regression coefficient B = 0.0027, P = 0.863) and that SST was the dominant factor⁵⁴, the claim about the paper testing human emissions as a predictor over the 1959-2022 period is factually correct.

Overall validity: 100%
