Uh Oh! This isn't good news for Pope Algore and his
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A new analysis of peer-reviewed literature reveals that more than 500 scientists have published evidence refuting at least one element of current man-made global warming scares.
500 scientists? I thought the debate was over. I thought there was a consensus.
More than 300 of the scientists found evidence that 1) a natural moderate 1,500-year climate cycle has produced more than a dozen global warmings similar to ours since the last Ice Age
Which I have been maintaining for over a year.
and/or that 2) our Modern Warming is linked strongly to variations in the sun's irradiance.
Which I have also been maintaining for over a year. It's that big burning mass of hydrogen up in the sky. It has cycles. The icecaps on Mars are melting and the only SUVs on Mars are the Mars Rovers and I don't think they're spewing out too much CO2.
"This data and the list of scientists make a mockery of recent claims that a scientific consensus blames humans as the primary cause of global temperature increases since 1850," said Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Dennis Avery.
Anything else?
Other researchers found evidence that 3) sea levels are failing to rise importantly;
But what about Pope Algore's PowerPoint presentation movie, An Inconvenient LieTruth? He showed the seas covering most of Florida. If the Pope is to be believed, we shouldn't be shoveling money into Nawlins, 'cause we won't be alble to build the levees high enough to protect it.
4) that our storms and droughts are becoming fewer and milder with this warming as they did during previous global warmings;
Huh! WTF? That's not what the Pope of
5) that human deaths will be reduced with warming because cold kills twice as many people as heat;
So global warming might not be so bad after all? We're not all gonna die?
and 6) that corals, trees, birds, mammals, and butterflies are adapting well to the routine reality of changing climate.
As they have for millions of years. It's called evolution and survival of the fittest. It's the way nature works.
Despite being published in such journals such as Science, Nature and Geophysical Review Letters, these scientists have gotten little media attention.
No! Could there be some bias in the media? "No. Nothing to see here. Move along.
"Not all of these researchers would describe themselves as global warming skeptics," said Avery, "but the evidence in their studies is there for all to see."
No. They have faith in Pope Algore. He told them the debate is over and there was a consensus.
The names were compiled by Avery and climate physicist S. Fred Singer, the co-authors of the new book Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, mainly from the peer-reviewed studies cited in their book. The researchers' specialties include tree rings, sea levels, stalagmites, lichens, pollen, plankton, insects, public health, Chinese history and astrophysics."We've had a Greenhouse Theory with no evidence to support it-except a
moderate warming turned into a scare by computer models whose results have
never been verified with real-world events," said co-author Singer. "On the
other hand, we have compelling evidence of a real-world climate cycle
averaging 1470 years (plus or minus 500) running through the last million
years of history. The climate cycle has above all been moderate, and the
trees, bears, birds, and humans have quietly adapted."
As I said earlier, that's the way nature works. Adapt or die. It's been this way for millions and millions of years. It's hubris to think that mankind can cause this and change this.
"Two thousand years of published human histories say that the warm periods were good for people," says Avery. "It was the harsh, unstable Dark Ages and Little Ice Age that brought bigger storms, untimely frost, widespread famine and plagues of disease." "There may have been a consensus of guesses among climate model-builders," says Singer. "However, the models only reflect the warming, not its cause." He noted that about 70 percent of the earth's post-1850 warming came before 1940, and thus was probably not caused by human-emitted greenhouse gases. The net post-1940 warming totals only a tiny 0.2 degrees C.
So we're not all gonna die?
The historic evidence of the natural cycle includes the 5000-year record of Nile floods, 1st-century Roman wine production in Britain
Yep! Wine productiion in Britain. BTW, French wineries are purchasing land in Britain to grow grapes.
and thousands of museum paintings that portrayed sunnier skies during the Medieval Warming and more cloudiness during the Little Ice Age.
As I wrote in an earlier post, this was what doomed the inhabitants of Greenland. When the Little Ice Age hit, they were no longer able to grow forage for their animals. We are not as warm now as it was during the time of the Roman Empire. Yannow, when they were growing grapes in England.
The physical evidence comes from oxygen isotopes, beryllium ions, tiny sea and pollen fossils, and ancient tree rings. The evidence recovered from ice cores, sea and lake sediments, cave stalagmites and glaciers has been analyzed by electron microscopes, satellites, and computers. Temperatures during the Medieval Warming Period on California's Whitewing Mountain must have been 3.2 degrees warmer than today, says Constance Millar of the U.S. Forest Service, based on her study of seven species of relict trees that grew above today's tree line.
Take that Pope Algore!
Singer emphasized, "Humans have known since the invention of the telescope that the earth's climate variations were linked to the sunspot cycle, but we had not understood how. Recent experiments have demonstrated that more or fewer cosmic rays hitting the earth create more or fewer of the low, cooling clouds that deflect solar heat back into space-amplifying small variations in the intensity of the sun.
It's the sun that's doing it. The sun drives climate, not mankind.
How do you like them apples Prosper? Bring on the Wikipedia cites.
Posted by denny at September 13, 2007 01:59 PMThats it! Now we have the cause of Global Warming. The Sun must be stopped! For the good of humanity I command all tree hugging dirt worshippers to direct positive waves at the Sun until it stops this wanton destruction of Mother Earth.
Posted by: Echo5Bravo on September 13, 2007 03:31 PMGreat post Denny. I agree with you 100%. So be it if the earth gets warmer and different geographically areas change. It may get warmer in NY and cooler in Florida. Then the Yankees can move back to NY. Not everything is bad as some think.
Posted by: gene hall on September 13, 2007 03:39 PMYour comments are spot on with what I thought when I read the column. Good work on their part and on your commentary.
Posted by: dick on September 13, 2007 05:55 PMdamn thats a good point about why are we rebuilding nawlins if the seas are just going to cover it up anyway.....wish I'd thought that.
excellent post. I will still use the flourecent bulbs where the wife lets me. hate those $700 Texas summer electric bills.
Posted by: patrick on September 13, 2007 07:52 PMOne major scientific consensus was that the Earth was the center of the Universe and that the Sun revolved around the Earth. Disbelievers were killed or sentenced to house arrest. We all know how that turned out. Well, most of us.
I always thought the weather tended to be more violent when the climate was warmer. I guess I will have to change my standard response to global warming and violent weather. It was "It's rough coming out of an Ice Age". I don't know what I will say now.

Isn't it always fun to watch the global warming blogosphere getting their panties all in a bunch because of a pr-piece by some long discredited corporate hacks?

Posted by: stimmedesherrn on September 14, 2007 03:38 AMManmade warming is bullshit just because human activity is not the only warming factor?
It's like saying : there are non drunk people who have car crash, so alcohol is not a mortality factor for drivers.
So, you quote somoeone who you agree with, and that's it?
ok, 28.5 seconds of research on the internet :
Although events such as sunspots have increased in the last 400 years, their effect only contributed a small amount to global warming, the results show.
"Our results imply that, over the past century, climate change due to human influences must far outweigh the effects of changes in the Sun's brightness," said study co-author Tom Wigley of the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
According to your rules : debate is over, I quoted someone on my side.
Posted by: Prosper on September 14, 2007 05:20 AMProsper .......
Well,well, look who crawled out of his environmentally friendly cave complete with a new tin foil hat.
!. We had us some dipshit here a while back stating proof for global warming was causing the rise in atmospheric CO2 because of dissolved CO2 rise in ice cores....unfortunately that is not what the report said, while it referanced the possibility, it cautioned that other factors could also be the cause....it also documented numerous climatic changes over the last 125,000 years without mankind being the culprit ....the proof went poof!
I do not see the catastophic hurricane season again projected by computer models this year, the pacific is also strangely quiet....the scientific projections went poof!
Now we finally recognize the sun is the most likely cause of ice melting not only here but on mars due to the being hotter right now. some scientist panics & his reasoning ability went poof!
Strap that tinfoil hat on tight it is going to be a rough ride ...er maybe! poof!
Posted by: dudley1 on September 14, 2007 08:03 AMthe scientific projections went poof!
I thougth scientists were on your side?
But, never mind, Global Warming has become a political issue. And fewer people think humanity is not involved. Even your President has changed his mind.
Bush is calling for a new set of talks (...) to negotiate goals for cutting greenhouse gas emissions after 2012.
What a moron!
It's the sun, doofus!
Prosper.......
Not all scientists, just the smartest ones with common sense. As for the others, an education doesn`t change the fact you are prone to ignore reality..just allows for you to use bigger words to embellish your BS story.
I hope Europe attends those talks as some of your countries are not meeting their goals ......we are,with some effort so can you & you do not need the Kyoto treaty either.
What goals?
It's the sun, doofus!
Doofus???????
At least I can spell my own name which is apparently something beyond you today ......unless your name is really "Propser"
Posted by: Dudley1 on September 14, 2007 12:23 PMProsper - The nice thing is we'll know in about four years. Pope Algore said if we don't do sumpin' in ten years we'll be at "the point of no return". That was ten years ago. Oh wait! He's still saying ten years. He keeps moving the goal posts.
Gee. So now that Bush supposedly believe in AGW he's now smart? Amazing!
Posted by: Denny on September 14, 2007 12:37 PMNice shot dud !!
Denny, your president isn't smart, he is slow.
That's why he only understand now that global warming is not just hot air. But what do you think Denny? Your both chambers and your government are doofus? It's obvious though : IT'S THE SUN !!
It'theSunDoofus (Prosper) - Both chambers of our gummint are now controlled by Dimocrats. I call them that for a reason. And Bush is a RINO. There are only three things he's done that I agree with: Cut taxes, the Iraq War, and the two people he appointed to the Supreme Court.
Let's wait for 2017. I should still be here. That's the Pope's latest goalpost. You will have missed your Kyoto targets (unless you're in a recession) the world will not be coming to an end, and I'll be laughing my ass off.
It's still not as warm as it was before the Little Ice Age.
Posted by: Denny on September 14, 2007 02:23 PMI Have the Answer--- It's so Simple. It's the Sun god Ra, we have stopped worshiping him, and he is angry. Hail to Ra! Ra is good-- We must bow to his power and worship him forever. We are soulless ingrates, we don't deserve such a wondrous God. Pray to him each morning as he ascends from his nightly slumber. I'm sure it will do about as much good as anything else.
Posted by: William Eugene Malley, III on September 16, 2007 01:07 AMI'm with you Will E.M.Ill. It's also carrots that kill, the new studies are out, everyone who has eaten carrots in the last 500 hundred yrs-all dead! Dang it, and I like carrots.
Posted by: LisaKay on September 16, 2007 06:11 AMProsper....
Our President is slow?.......Got you by both feet too I see. Remenber that our LSM derided him for being dumb, slow, an idiot, a moron etc,etc,etc. They all said it was a shame we did not have a really bright President like Gore or Kerry"who served in Vietnam".....you do not hear too much of this anymore since the LSM finally did their homework & found Bush had a higer GPA then either one of these idiots. You ought to get a reality check !
Posted by: Dudley1 on September 16, 2007 04:07 PMFirst : Global Warming is just hot air (2004), second : negotiate goals for cutting greenhouse gas emissions after 2012 (2007).
Three years.
That's a bit slow...
And all of that for nothing : It's the Sun, Doofus !
Posted by: It'stheSunDoofus on September 17, 2007 03:30 AMProsper....
Question time for you!
Which of the following has the most environmentally friendly home?..Kerry, Kennedy, Clinton (either one),Obama,Schumer,Pelosi,Feinstein,Edwards,Gore or .....Bush?
Second question .....Who are really the slow one`s ?
Third question .... Who actually does more for the environment?
Fourth question .....Who is the most honest in approaching the environmental issue?
Fifth question .....Who actually has been pro-active to environmental concerns on a personal basis?
Sixth question.......Just who are the real BS artists?
Seventh question.....When is Prosper going to be honest in his evaluations?
It'stheSunDoofus (Prosper)
It's the Sun Doofus!
Glad to see you finally agree with us.
