Dr. Phil Jones - No statistically significant
warming for 15 years
From the
Daily Mail:
“Professor [Phil] Jones also conceded the possibility that the
world was warmer in medieval times than now - suggesting global
warming may not be a man-made phenomenon... And he said that for
the past 15 years there has been no ‘statistically significant’
warming.”
NASA GSS - no sign of global warming
in North America
From Strata-sphere.com:
“In
response to a freedom of information request, NASA’s GISS was
required to produce a series of emails, which in turn revealed
that,
(a) NASA admits the current warm period is not
historically
different from the period around 1921-1950
(b) that there
has been
no sign of global warming in North America or the US.
How is global warming possible when it is not ‘global’?”
Dr. Phil Jones, Climate Research Unit
From a
ClimateGate email:
“With their
LIA [Little Ice Age] being 1300 -1900 and their
MWP
[Medieval Warm Period] 800 -1300, there appears (at my quick
first reading) no discussion of synchronicity of the cool/warm
periods. Even with the instrumental record, the early and late
20th century warming periods are only significant locally at
between 10-20% of grid boxes.”
Professor Richard Muller - 70% of
measuring stations poorly sited
Reports
Ken Haapala (via
WattsUpWithThat.com):
“Professor Muller presented himself as a
former skeptic [to the House National Resources Committee], but
he couched his skepticism as questioning the quality of the
land-based surface measurements... According to him 70% of
measuring stations in the US are poorly sited with a possible
error of 2 to 5 degrees C. He evaded the real issue: that most
skeptics realize that temperatures have risen, but question that
human emissions of carbon dioxide are the principal cause of
global warming.”
“Muller failed to mention that... he questioned the human
influence on global warming; that his calculations of
temperatures show no warming for the past ten years; that he has
suggested that the cause for the pause in warming is a change in
ocean oscillations, and that there is a disconnect between land
surface data and atmospheric data.”
An admission - Medieval Warm Period at
least as warm as today
From
Strata-sphere.com:
“The
real killer is the global temperature itself, which has been
cooling since 2000, and not showing any warming since 1995 -
according to Dr Phil Jones, previous head of CRU. In addition,
Jones admitted there is no data to overturn the long held
scientific theory that the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) was as
warm or warmer than today. Jones admits lack of data in other
regions was used by Mann and others to make up the idea the MWP
was cooler, but lack of data is not the same thing as proxies
showing cooler temps!”
NASA GISS - 10 warmest years spread
throughout last century
From
Strata-sphere.com:
“In
fact, NASA
GISS is on record noting that the ten warmest years
are spread throughout the last century and are all statistically
tied for warmest year. Because of the margin of error in global
indexes, there is no way to determine which of the following
years are warmer than the others.
“For the earlier period these are the warmest years in the top
ten: 1921, 1931, 1934, 1938, 1939 - 5 all told. For the latter
it is: 1990, 1998, 1999, 2006 - which is 4. And then there is
the outlier 1953. These all have a temperature index that is
statistically the same - and it proves there is not
‘significant’ warming, which blows the AGW theory right out of
the water.”
While consensus scientists are stuck in defense mode,
credentialed and respected skeptics around the globe have taken
no time out in their efforts to expose the soft underbelly of
the alarmist scientific data churned out by manipulated climate
models.
Professor Terry Mills - Warming just
as likely to be caused by random fluctuations
From the
Herald Sun in
Australia:
“Terry Mills, professor of applied statistics and
econometrics at Loughborough University, looked at the same data
as
the IPCC. He found that the warming trend it reported over
the past 30 years or so was just as likely to be due to random
fluctuations as to the impacts of greenhouse gases. Mill’s
findings are to be published in Climatic Change, an
environmental journal.”
John Christy, professor, UAH - Land
temperature records unreliable
“The temperature records
cannot be relied on as indicators of global change,” said John
Christy, professor of atmospheric science at the University of
Alabama in Huntsville, a former lead author on the IPCC.
From the
Herald Sun:
“The doubts of Christy and a number of
other researchers focus on the thousands of weather stations
around the world, which have been used to collect temperature
data over the past 150 years. These stations, they believe, have
been seriously compromised by factors such as urbanization,
changes in land use and, in many cases, being moved from site to
site...”
Joe D’Aleo and Dr. Don Easterbrook -
No link between CO2 and temperature changes
from report at
IceCap.us:
“During the past century,
global climates have consisted of two cool periods (1880-1915
and 1945 to 1977) and two warm periods (1915 to 1945 and 1977 to
1998). In 1977, the
PDO [Pacific Decadal Oscillation] switched
abruptly from its cool mode, where it had been since about 1945,
into its warm mode and global climate shifted from cool to warm.
“This rapid switch from cool to warm has become known as “The
Great Pacific Climatic Shift” (Figure 1 below).
Atmospheric CO2 showed
no unusual changes across this sudden climate shift and was
clearly not responsible for it.
Similarly, the global warming
from ~1915 to ~1945 could not have been caused by increased
atmospheric CO2 because that time preceded the rapid rise of
CO2, and when CO2 began to increase rapidly after 1945, 30 years
of global cooling occurred (1945-1977).”
Only one global warming period in
500 years matches rising CO2
“Only one out of all of
the global warming periods in the past 500 years occurred at the
same time as rising CO2 (1977–1998). About 96% of the warm
periods in the past 500 years could not possibly have been
caused by rise of CO2. The inescapable conclusion of
this is that CO2 is not the cause of global warming."
Two ocean oscillations drive climate
shifts
“The PDO leads the way [in
climate shifts] and its effect is later amplified by
the AMO
[Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation]. Each time this has
occurred in the past century, global temperatures have
remained cool for about 30 years. Thus, the current sea
surface temperatures not only explain why we have had global
cooling for the past 10 years, but also assure that cool
temperatures will continue for several more decades.
“The cool phase of the PDO is now entrenched and ‘global
warming’ (the term used for warming from 1977 to 1998) is
over.”
Dr. Habibullo Abdussamatov, Pulkovo
Observatory - Warns of deep temperature drop
From
WorldNetDaily:
“The earth is no longer
threatened by the catastrophic global warming forecast by
some scientists; warming passed its peak in 1998 - 2005,
while the value of the TSI by July-September of last year
had already declined by 0.47 watts per square meter”.
Abdussamatov wrote.
“Consequently, we should fear a
deep temperature drop, but not catastrophic global warming.
Humanity must survive the serious economic, social,
demographic and political consequences of a global
temperature drop, which will directly affect the national
interests of almost all countries and more than 80% of the
population of the Earth.”
Dr. George Kukla - Changes in orbit
responsible for climate change
From
Climate Realists.com and
Helium.com:
“George Kukla, 77, retired professor of
paleoclimatology at Columbia University and researcher at the
Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory responds, "The only thing to
worry about global warming is the damage that can be done by
worrying. Why are some scientists worried? Perhaps because they
feel that to stop worrying may mean to stop being paid."
"I feel we're on pretty solid ground in interpreting orbit
around the sun as the primary driving force behind Ice Age
glaciation," he says.
"The relationship is just too clear and
consistent to allow reasonable doubt. It's either that, or
climate drives orbit, and that just doesn't make sense."
Earth on the brink of an Ice Age?
Pravda Science Report,
via IceAgeNow:
“The AGW theory is based on data that is drawn
from a ridiculously narrow span of time and it demonstrates a
wanton disregard for the ‘big picture’ of long-term climate
change. The data from paleoclimatology, including ice cores, sea
sediments, geology, paleobotany and zoology, indicate that we
are on the verge of entering another Ice Age, and the data also
shows that severe and lasting climate change can occur within
only a few years.
“While concern over the dubious threat of Anthropogenic Global
Warming continues to distract the attention of people throughout
the world, the very real threat of the approaching and
inevitable Ice Age, which will render large parts of the
Northern Hemisphere uninhabitable, is being foolishly ignored.”
Michael Crichton - There is no
human-caused global warming
In his book, “State of Fear,”
Michael Crichton offers his assessment of the scientific
evidence for global warming. His conclusion: There is no
human-caused global warming.
Crichton is correct,
writes Donald Miller:
“Most of the rise in
temperature in the 20th century occurred before 1940, before CO2
levels started rising. Temperatures fell 0.3° F from 1940 to
1970 while CO2 levels rose, from 310 to 325 ppmv...”
“The temperature of the planet's upper atmosphere (which the
theory of global warming predicts should warm first), as
measured by satellites, beginning in 1979, and weather balloons,
has remained unchanged over the last 25 years despite a rise in
atmospheric CO2 levels to 370 ppmv [now near 390 ppm].”
Weather Channel founder says global
warming science is rigged
Writes Weather Channel
founder
John Coleman:
“Any person who spends a decade at a
university obtaining a PHD in Meteorology and becomes a research
scientist, more likely than not, becomes a part of that single
minded culture... These scientists know that if they do research
and results are in no way alarming, their research will gather
dust on the shelf and their research careers will languish.
“But if they do research that sounds alarms, they will become
well known and respected and receive scholarly awards and, very
importantly, more research dollars will come flooding their
way... It was easy for them to manipulate the data to come up
with the results they wanted to make headlines and at the same
time drive their environmental agendas.”
"The impact of humans on climate is not catastrophic. Our planet
is not in peril. It is all a scam, the result of bad science."
Temperatures rose four times as
fast in 18th century
From
David Archibald:
“After the invention of thermometers, records started to be
kept... A number of interesting things can be seen in this
record, including the depths of the
Little Ice Age in the late
17th century when the Thames regularly froze over, and the
Dalton Minimum which was the last time the Thames froze over in
the City of London.”
“What is also interesting is the 2.2° temperature rise from 7.8°
in 1696 to 10.0° in 1732. This is a 2.2° rise is 36 years. By
comparison, the world has seen a 0.6° rise over the 100 years of
the 20th century. That temperature rise in the early 18th
century was four times as large and three times as fast as the
rise in the 20th century.”
