The Environment and Public Works Committee published a US Senate Minority Report on Dec. 11, 2008, stating that 650 international scientists have united to debunk global warming claims. Some previously supported the Kyoto Treaty or were members of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Dr. Philip Lloyd, a UN IPCC co-coordinating lead author states, “The quantity of CO2 we produce is insignificant in terms of the natural circulation between air, water, and soil.” He says that those people summarizing scientific reports for the UN IPCC have distorted the science.
Another UN IPCC Scientist, Japan’s Dr. Kiminori Itoh, an award-winning PhD environmental physical chemist states, Warming fears are the “worst scientific scandal in the…When people come to know what the truth is, they will feel deceived by science and scientists.”
“Many (scientists) are now searching for a way to back out quietly (from promoting warming fears), without having their professional careers ruined,” states atmospheric physicist James A. Peden, formerly of the Space Research and Coordination Center in Pittsburgh.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) built up in the atmosphere lags about eight centuries behind the rise of atmospheric temperatures, just the opposite of what Al Gore’s film “An Inconvenient Truth” preaches.
If Al Gore had superimposed the CO2 and temperature graphs on each other it would have been apparent that the build up of CO2 in our atmosphere lagged behind the rise of atmospheric temperatures. I wonder why he didn’t superimpose them?
The temperatures of the earth’s oceans have risen by less than a half degree Celsius in more than a century. Research by MIT’s Dr. Carl Wunsch shows that slightly heating oceanic water releases tremendous quantities of CO2. Conversely, slightly cooling oceanic waters turns the oceans into CO2 sinks, absorbing vast quantities of CO2.
Analysis of ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica give us the temperature and CO2 content of the earth’s atmosphere for the last 400 thousand to 600 thousand years.
When worldwide atmospheric temperatures decline, it takes centuries for the oceans to cool thus creating a CO2 sink that absorbs CO2. It is obvious that temperature controls the amount of CO2 in our atmosphere. Al Gore had it exactly backwards.
CO2 in our atmosphere, especially CO2 attributable to man, is negligible as a green-house gas as it comprises only three percent of earth’s greenhouse gases, and man generates only 1.9 percent of this 3 percent. This is less than six hundreds of one percent of the greenhouse gases in our atmosphere.
Our atmosphere contains 764 billion metric tons (BMT’s) of CO2, soils and vegetation 2,100 BMT’s, fossil fuels 4,000 BMT’s, oceans 39,000 BMT’s and sedimentary rocks such as limestone 80,000 BMT’s of CO2. The oceans contain more than fifty times as much CO2 as the earth’s atmosphere.
It is apparent that if oceanic waters release even one percent of their dissolved CO2 it would raise atmospheric CO2 by more than fifty percent.
The oceans are earth’s buffer and reservoir for CO2. From this, it is quite apparent that man’s contribution to global warming or change is nonexistent.
There is a correlation between solar activity (sunspots) and earth’s temperature. We see an increase in earth’s temperature with an increase in sunspots. A lack of sunspots sees the earth cool.
Presently, the sun is quiescent and during this time of few to no sunspots the earth’s temperature has been decreasing. Some climatologists and astronomers including some top Russian scientists believe we are entering an Ice Age.
Henrik Svensmark’s book, “The Chilling Stars—A New Theory of Climate Change,” is a major player in the evolving science as it explains why solar variability is the prime driver of earth’s climate.
Solar storms or sunspots expel electrons and protons creating slow speed cosmic rays. They in turn form a magnetic field deflecting high-speed cosmic rays away from the earth decreasing lower level clouds.
Conversely, a quiescent sun creates a much smaller magnetic field letting high speed cosmic rays bombard our atmosphere increasing electrons in earth’s lower atmosphere helping water molecules to agglomerate creating more lower level clouds which in turn reflect the suns radiation away cooling the planet.
Antarctica is the exception, as more clouds will moderate its temperature.
Even the UN IPCC is saying Man-Made global warming does not exist! Our CO2 emissions are “insignificant”
Exactly what I am blaming your side of not knowing. They cherry pick a few days that support their claim and make a big whoop-de-do about it while entire months that refute their claims are ignored and brushed under the rugs!
