Inconvenient Truth for Global Warming Alarmists

[Clementine]

Just a sampling of articles showing predictions by the alarmists have been wrong and things are opposite of what they claimed. I'm sure alarmists will dismiss all of this and expect people to rely on their data and to not debate this at all. The question is whether global warming is man-made and if it's a problem. Either way, the current solution, which is the biggest transfer of wealth in world history, certainly is not the answer.

1. Humans are NOT to Blame for Global Warming, Says Greenpeace Co-founder… (Daily Mail)

“There is no scientific proof of man-made global warming and a hotter earth would be ‘beneficial for humans and the majority of other species’, according to a founding member of environmental campaign group Greenpeace. The assertion was made by Canadian ecologist Patrick Moore, a member of Greenpeace from 1971 to 1986, to U.S senators on Tuesday.”

2. James Hansen Admits Global Temperature Standstill Is Real (The GWPF)

“According to Hansen et al. the Nasa Giss database has 2012 as the ninth warmest year on record, although statistically indistinguishable from the last 12 years, at least. Noaa says it’s the tenth warmest year. The difference is irrelevant.”

3. ‘Gaia’ Scientist James Lovelock: I Was ‘Alarmist’ About Climate Change (NBC)

“The world has not warmed up very much since the millennium. Twelve years is a reasonable time… it (the temperature) has stayed almost constant, whereas it should have been rising — carbon dioxide is rising, no question about that,” he added.

4. Climategate U-turn as Scientist at Centre of Row Admits: There Has Been No Global Warming Since 1995 (Daily Mail)

“Professor 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.”

5. Climate Expert von Storch: Why Is Global Warming Stagnating? (Der Spiegel)

“So far, no one has been able to provide a compelling answer to why climate change seems to be taking a break. We’re facing a puzzle. Recent CO2 emissions have actually risen even more steeply than we feared. As a result, according to most climate models, we should have seen temperatures rise by around 0.25 degrees Celsius (0.45 degrees Fahrenheit) over the past 10 years. That hasn’t happened.”

6. Warming Plateau? Climatologists Face Inconvenient Truth (Der Spiegel)

“Data shows global temperatures aren’t rising the way climate scientists have predicted. Now the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change faces a problem: publicize these findings and encourage skeptics — or hush up the figures.”

7. German Public Television Stuns Its Readers, Concedes Medieval Warm Period May Have Been 0.5°C Warmer Than Today! (Wetterthema via No Tricks Zone)

“The ARD piece even goes on to say that the Medieval Warm Period from the years 800 to 1300 was similarly as warm as the ‘last climate normal period of 1961 to 1990, whose mean temperature is used as the reference value.’ The ARD writes further: Using alternative reconstructions that period was even about 0.5°C warmer than today.”

8. Why Has Global Warming Stalled? (BBC)

“There are plenty of possible explanations but none of them adds up to a definitive smoking gun.”

9. Global Warming Pause ‘Central’ to IPCC Climate Report (BBC)

“The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is meeting in Sweden to thresh out a critical report on global warming. Scientists will underline, with greater certainty than ever, the role of human activities in rising temperatures. But many governments are demanding a clearer explanation of the slowdown in temperature increases since 1998. One participant told BBC News that this pause will be a ‘central piece’ of the summary.”

10. There Has Been No Global Warming Since 1998 (Telegraph)

“The headline of this post really shouldn’t be controversial. It chimes perfectly with what Kevin ‘null hypothesis’ Trenberth wrote in that notorious 2009 Climategate email to Michael Mann: The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can’t.”

11. Senator Barbara Boxer’s Own Experts Contradict Obama On Global Warming (Forbes)

“I don’t have much patience for people who deny climate change,” Obama added. However, climate scientists including United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) lead author Hans von Storch report temperatures have remained essentially flat for the past 10 years, and indeed for the past 15 years.”

12. ‘Global Warming’ is Rubbish says Top Professor (Yorkshire Evening Post)

“He doesn’t believe in ‘global warming’ and says ‘climate change’ is a meaningless term used as a sop by big business to create money. Neil Hudson met Prof Les Woodcock.”

13. Global Warming ‘Hiatus’ Puts Climate Change Scientists on the Spot (LA Times)

“Since just before the start of the 21st century, the Earth’s average global surface temperature has failed to rise despite soaring levels of heat-trapping greenhouse gases and years of dire warnings from environmental advocates.”

14. Man-made Global Warming: Even the IPCC Admits the Jig is Up (Telegraph)

“Breaking news from the US – h/t Watts Up With That? – where a leaked draft of the IPCC’s latest report AR5 admits what some of us have suspected for a very long time: that the case for man-made global warming is looking weaker by the day and that the sun plays a much more significant role in ‘climate change’ than the scientific ‘consensus’ has previously been prepared to concede.”

15. RSS Global Temperature Data: No Global Warming at All for 202 Months (Christopher Monckton at WUWT)

“The least-squares linear-regression trend on the data from the RSS satellites since November 1996 shows there has been no global warming at all for 202 months (16 years 10 months). In a few more months, unless an el Niño comes along in January, its favorite month, RSS may be the first dataset to show 17 full years with a zero global warming trend.”

16. ‘Nothing Off-limits’ in Climate Debate (The Australian)

“THE UN’s climate change chief, Rajendra Pachauri, has acknowledged a 17-year pause in global temperature rises, confirmed recently by Britain’s Met Office, but said it would need to last ’30 to 40 years at least’ to break the long-term global warming trend.”

17. 95% of Climate Models Agree: The Observations Must be Wrong (Dr. Roy Spencer)

“I’ve updated our comparison of 90 climate models versus observations for global average surface temperatures through 2013, and we still see that >95% of the models have over-forecast the warming trend since 1979, whether we use their own surface temperature dataset (HadCRUT4), or our satellite dataset of lower tropospheric temperatures (UAH)…”

18. 2013 Atlantic Hurricane Season Ends – No Major Hurricanes For First Time Since 1994 (MyFoxHurricaneBlog)

“The accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) measures the total energy output of all tropical systems during the hurricane season. In 2013 the ACE is just 33% of the 1981 – 2012 average. 2013 is the 6th least active Atlantic season (measured by ACE) since 1950. 2013 has the fewest hurricanes since 1982 and is the first time since 1994 there are no major hurricanes.”

21. 2013 Will Finish One Of The Ten Coldest Years In US History, With The Largest Drop In Temperature (Real Science)

“Before NASA and NOAA start tampering with the data, 2013 is one of the ten coldest years in the US since 1895, and has had the largest year over year decline on record. NOAA of course won’t talk about this, and will massively tamper with the data before releasing it. The graph (above) is the monthly average of all daily high and low temperatures at all NOAA USHCN stations.”

23. Deaths From Hurricanes, Floods, Droughts, and Other Weather Events Are Down 98 Percent Since 1920s (Reason Foundation)

“Extreme weather events were responsible for just .07% of the world’s deaths between 2000 and 2010. The extreme weather categories studied in the Reason Foundation report include droughts, floods, wildfires, storms (hurricanes, cyclones, tornadoes, typhoons, etc.) and extreme temperatures, both hot and cold.”

If the green movement is about “science,” then why are climate change activists against the challenging of their ideas? Is it because they have ulterior motives for pushing their agenda or are they naturally intolerant of the actual scientific process that entails the falsification of their views?

 

[OKTexas]

I don't know any reasonable people who are surprised by any of those. This has always been about power, control and money. Scientist saw a cash cow and took advantage of it.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Meanwhile, the average American household loses $8k in disposable income annually as a result of energy policy enacted by this hack administration in the name of this phony science. Not to mention the AGW light bulb nazis have outlawed taste in visual ambience. At least Hitler had an eye for art. These new nazis are cultural trash.

[Old Rocks]

LOL. Here we are in 2015, shaping up to be the warmest year on record, and 9 of the 10 warmest years on record have occurred since 2000, yet you fruitloops stand there blabbering about no warming. We have had billions of dollars of private property in the West burned by forest fires, fires during which no attempts are made to save the forests at all, because everyone is too busy trying to keep whole towns from being burned. And on the other coast, record precipitation events.

There is no Scientific Society on earth that denies AGW. No National Academy of Science. And no major university. And the flap-yap so called science that the deniers come up with is on the same intellectual level as ol' CrusaderFrank. Obese junkies on the AM radio, fake British Lords, and an un-degreed ex-TV weatherman. And two scientists, one now deep into senility, that also testified before Congress that cigarettes were harmless.

The global temperature rose 0.2°C between the middle 1960s and 1980, yielding a warming of 0.4°C in the past century. This temperature increase is consistent with the calculated effect due to measured increases of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Variations of volcanic aerosols and possibly solar luminosity appear to be primary causes of observed fluctuations about the mean trend of increasing temperature. It is shown that the anthropogenic carbon dioxide warming should emerge from the noise level of natural climate variability by the end of the century, and there is a high probability of warming in the 1980s. Potential effects on climate in the 21st century include the creation of drought-prone regions in North America and central Asia as part of a shifting of climatic zones, erosion of the West Antarctic ice sheet with a consequent worldwide rise in sea level, and opening of the fabled Northwest Passage.

The GW models predicted the models would be wrong and that the GW deniers would use that as excuse to dismiss the models. Thus the models are correct.

GW models actually did predict that they'd be wrong because they admittedly have a large range of solutions between them and between initial conditions and assumptiond on the same model. Any earth system modeler would admit there is considerable uncertainty. But that's not a reason to deny the basic science of global warming.

First of all trends in global average temperature certainly can be measured even if the rate of change is only 0.2 degrees over two decades.

Here's a question for you ... if global CO2 continues to rise, do you believe that eventually the average surface temperature will have to also rise? Or do you think your God designed climate feedbacks to be able to withstand any change to CO2 concentration?

There are lots of scientists who dispute not only the degree to which human activity may contribute to AGW and the overreach of policy to address potential problems but they dispute that there is any AGW at all.
Follow the grant money trail and you'll be led to AGW science.
As laymen, the people have a responsibility to respect conflicting expert opinion and stop parroting what politicians -- especially on the left -- continue to hammer.
When politicians say 'there is no debate' or that 'the debate is over' and 'the science is settled' that should be reason in and of itself for debate.
To take polticians' opinions on science issues as if they are absolute is how Hitlers evolve.

finally, if you fools want a real problem to take on, get involved in stopping pollution and clear cutting of forests in south america and asia.

Your post contains a great deal of scientific ignorance.

First of all trends in global average temperature certainly can be measured even if the rate of change is only 0.2 degrees over two decades.

Here's a question for you ... if global CO2 continues to rise, do you believe that eventually the average surface temperature will have to also rise? Or do you think your God designed climate feedbacks to be able to withstand any change to CO2 concentration?

Continues to rise and yet the globe has been in a cooling cycle over the last 18 years.

That is also a fact. So what does that mean? There has been a cooling cycle,yet the CO2 levels as you say have been rising.

Please explain how that can be?

Why is the globe been cooling while there CO2 levels have been rising?

Is there global cooling? The answer might not be what you expected. - Home

Huh, no wonder there was a concerted effort with the world leaders to change the term from global warming to climate change.

No wonder.

Liberals are so stupid.

Cooling cycle for 18 years?

Doesn't look like it.
