Working overtime to support their collapsing science
The latest figures from more than 20 scientific institutions around the world show that global temperatures are higher than ever.
However the gradual rise in temperatures over the last 30 years is slowing slightly. Global warming since the 1970s has been 0.16C (0.3F) but the rise in the last decade was just 0.05C (0.09F), according to the Met Office.
Sceptics claim this as evidence man made global warming is a myth.
But in a new report the Met Office said the reduced rate of warming can be easily explained by a number of factors. And indeed the true rate of warming caused by man made greenhouse gases could be greater than ever.
One of the major factors is pollution over Asia, where the huge growth in coal-fired power stations mean aerosols like sulphur are being pumped into the air. This reflects sunlight, cooling the land surface temperature.
Wait, I thought coal-fired plants were causing globull warming. Now it causes cooling? This is all very confusing. And just plain stupid.
Another factor that has reduced the rate of warming is a prolonged minimum in the solar cycle, meaning the Earth is receiving slightly less heat from the sun.
Also short term weather patterns such as the tropical storms El Nino and La Nina.
Eh, natural occurrences are just minimal, you know. It’s mankind that is making it hot and cold.
Dr Pope said the latest figures are the strongest evidence yet that the rise in global temperatures is being caused by the massive increase in man made greenhouse gases over recent decades.
So, what about the decreased temperatures despite massive increases in greenhouse gases from the 40’s through the mid 70’s? Sorry, sorry, we’ll blame that on pollution.
This just shows the lengths to which the climate alarmists will go in order to continue pushing their unhinged and unscientific notion. If people stop believing, the alarmists will lose lots of money and power.
It must be CO2 because we can’t think of anything else.
It must be reflective pollution because we can’t think of anything else.
Is there a pattern here?
A more accurate announcment would have been that global warming has stopped.
The factors that resulted in the 20th century global temperature run-up have been discovered. The contribution of atmospheric carbon dioxide is between small and insignificant. The time-integral of sunspot numbers and effective sea surface temperature are the main contributors.
A simple equation, with inputs of accepted measurements from government agencies, calculates the average global temperatures since 1895 with 88% accuracy (87.6% if CO2 is assumed to have no influence). See the equation, an eye-opening graph of the results and how they are derived in the pdfs at http://climaterealists.com/index.php?tid=145&linkbox=true (see especially the pdfs made public on 4/10/10 and 6/27/10).
The future average global temperature trend that this equation calculates is down.
No, no, Dan, you don’t understand, you have to go with feelings, not facts. That is the climate alarmist way. Oh, and getting others to pony up some cash and change their lives.
The whole thing is a farce.
