Anthropogenic global warmers have dug in. They have to be right. They allege increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) is the perpetrator, is responsible for all AGW, and has been proven countless times. Sea ice is decreasing worldwide, storms are developing constantly, species are disappearing, glaciers are shrinking, our hottest year on record just recorded, and NASA says AGW is a given.
Climate history has to be examined to fully understandt. AGW believers seem to live in the ‘now’. They forget earth is a ‘closed system’, and does not randomly accumulate more CO2, which always goes up, and down, with solar radiation. It gets no extra CO2 from the sun, or other planets.
From his blog involving Science, Innovation, and Politics: Prof. Pielke Jr.: IPCC Lead Author Chris Field Misleads U.S. Congress: 'What Field says IPCC says is blantantly wrong, often 180 degrees wrong' .
And from Climatologist Dr. Patrick Michaels on previous calculations: “It's appropriate to jump off a ship when it begins to take on water. If you look at the monthly temperature anomalies from the University of East Anglia you see no significant trend in any direction going back to the fall of 1996 which would put us at seventeen years of no trend.”
NASA has always been a big proponent of AGW. Mostly because NASA is paid by the existing administration. But many NASA employees not dictated to by the administration, reveal many NASA scientists (retired) review and reject 'man-made climate catastrophe' campaign.
Long-term data from NASA satellites (accumulated in 2011) seemed to severely contradict earlier conjecture. “There is a huge discrepancy between the data and the forecasts that is especially big over the oceans,” said Roy Spencer (University of Alabama/Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer); “The satellite observations suggest there is much more energy lost to space during and after warming than the climate models show.” Precluding all the ‘technospeak’, earth’s not heating up.
Global Warming - Impacts and Future Perspective, a new book published 9/2012, reaches an inescapable conclusion: “…at least 63% of the global warming of the past 400 years was due to an increase in solar activity.”
Per The Blaze: "A preliminary draft of a report by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was leaked to the public earlier this month and now climate change skeptics are arguing it shows evidence of 20 years of global warming overestimation." The two-year-early report exhibits the 4 UN temperature models (since 1990) overestimating earth’s temperature rise.
Christopher Monckton (Brenchley/Thatcher adviser; Editor) recently spoke at the recent climate conference (Doha, Qatar): “There has been 'No global warming for 16 years' (actually 18 or 19 years, on closer examination)." WND interviewed him on topics such as CO2 emissions, polar ice, sea levels, temperature trends, greenhouse effect, data padding and other frauds. Information on these are above.
The most incriminating data for AGW theorists, come from TOPEX/POSEIDON satellites showing “no” trend in world average temperature [1992-2000], the GRACE satellites showing a “DOWNWARD” trend [2003-2007], and the overall sea level rise as “no” trend [1992-2007].
If one reads the [CO2] on earth measured over the last several years, it is obvious [CO2] levels had nothing to do with the earth warming.
Bottom line, in Climate during the Carboniferous Period, [CO2] has historically been much higher than today’s 400 ppm. The highest reached almost 7000 ppm (Paleozoic Era/ Cambrian Period), or 17x higher.
We know CO2 does not drive temperature. It has been disproved by the ice core record, showing temperatures rise first, with CO2 usually following later.
Quotes from ‘hard-core’ believers are indicative:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--“This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy….one must say clearly that we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy.”
Ottmar Edehoffer, UN IPCC
--“The data doesn’t matter. We’re not basing our recommendations on the data. We’re basing them on the climate models.”
Prof. Chris Folland; Hadley Centre, Climate Prediction and Research
--“The models are convenient fictions that provide something very useful.”
Dr David Frame; Climate modeler, Oxford University
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------There’s only two types of AGW believers. The first type is silent now. The second is hard-core believers, convinced humans are omnipotent enough to damage the entire earth with CO2, existing since time began.
