This is not how scientific research works nor is it anything new. A couple percent of academic papers on the matter argue anthropogenic climate change is not real, yet the academic consensus is that it is real.
A single paper implying something does not mean the previous academic consensus has suddenly disappeared.
New research may shed another perspective on a phenomenon, and especially when it challenges previous research it will be examined by other researchers as well.
As of right now, the academic consensus is that there is indeed anthropogenic climate change. This single paper barely puts a dent in that. I
Only in the longer term, when others may destroy the linked paper or confirm it, is the consensus remotely likely to change.

This paper is pretty much just garbage science. It's got several problems:
- it hasn't been peer reviewed
- it doesn't cite a source for its information _at_all_
- it doesn't provide any information on the physics they think are at play
- all of the references are either the authors' own work or are conveniently unpublished anywhere
- it utilizes faulty logical reasoning
- it's confused about the meaning of causality
Here's a more detailed rundown, if you're interested:

Basically, people who aren't scientifically literate are in love with this manuscript simply because it agrees with them and their deeply flawed, self-serving worldview.

I've been saying this for years since this rubbish first started popping up, once the sheep Gert wind of it they won't let go of it, even though it's been proven it'll be 10-15 years before the majority are on board with the truth
I'm afraid you are outvoted in human knowledge. Back to the looney bin with you.
we as a group are destroying this planet
