Renowned German Greenie See's the Light

[westwall]

And it was good! Dr. Fritz Vahrenholt, who is one of Germany's founding fathers of its environmental movement and Dr. Sebastian Lüning (a fellow geologist/paleontologist, well I'm not a paleontologist but I know a bunch of em!) have written a new sceptical book on AGW called Die Kalte Sonne (The Cold Sun) and it is published by the well respected company Hoffmann & Campe.

What's really nice is both Bild AND Der Spiegel ran major articles on the book and interviewed the two good doctors. This is truly the beginning of the end for the AGW cult. When they lose the Germans they've lost it all.

I particularly like the title of the Bild article "The CO2 Lie"! Sums it up nicely!

My brother married a gal from Germany about 30 years ago. When I first met her, conversations touched on environmental issues. Even back then (80's) she told me "there's a saying in Germany- Green is Red".

Global warming: German researchers find more evidence for links between Arctic sea ice decline and European weather « Summit County Citizens Voice

SUMMIT COUNTY — German scientists say they’ve found more evidence showing links between declining Arctic sea ice and shifting weather patterns, with cold, snowy winters more likely in Europe following summers when Arctic sea ice is low.

The researchers from the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research say shrinking summertime sea ice cover changes the air pressure zones in the Arctic atmosphere, slowing westerly winds that usually transport relatively warm and moist air toward Europe.

If there is a particularly large-scale melt of Arctic sea ice in summer, as observed in recent years, two important effects are intensified. Firstly, the retreat of the ice leaves a darker ocean to warm up more in summer from solar radiation.

No problem L.K. All you need to do is check out his CV. His "green" bona fides are pretty substantial. I also believe, that if you bother to look, he was in charge of Shells sustainability program, but that's just a rumour.

So what exactly is your problem with Herr Doktor? The fact that he's ethical and holds the scientific method above politics?

German Fear Of Warming Plummets…Yet-To-Be-Published Skeptic Book Climbs To Amazon.de No. 4!

By P Gosselin on 30. Januar 2012



Prof Fritz Vahrenholt "couldn't take it any more."

The Church of Global Warming is shattering in Germany, one of the last bastions of the movement. Even the environmental bishops are leaving the Church.

The print edition of FOCUS magazine has an article today on a new upcoming skeptic climate book, Die kalte Sonne, authored by former warmist Prof. Dr. Fritz Vahrenholt and geologist/paleontologist Dr. Sebastian Lüning.

Even though the book will not be available until February 6th, it has climbed to no. 4 on the Amazon-Germany bestseller list under the category of environment and ecology.

(Thanks Die Zeit!)

That number will of course rise soon now that national weekly FOCUS has a write-up in today’s issue, and once it’s officially launched on February 6.

thanks for posting his cv, as i already did.

now where does that support your introducing this guy as a "founding father".

you can play that bullshit with your retarded denier fwiends. but not with me.

you don't know the guy, you read some blurb, confirming your anti global warming bias, and ejaculated this on the board.

Poor LK, got your panties in a bunch? Here is a smattering of his environmental duties.
As you can see, unlike Dr. Muller of the BEST project who is a well know warmist (not the sceptic convert you all tried to make him out to be) Herr Doktor is a tried and true environmentalist. He has a long history of it, and as you can see by his governmental positions was well placed as a FOUNDER of the green movement in Germany.

Those little facts annoy the hell out of you I am sure, but facts they are.

"After obtaining a PhD in chemistry and a visiting research post at the Max Planck Institute of Carbon Research in Mülheim, he had other positions at the Federal Environment Agency in Berlin and in the Ministry of the Environment for the Land of Hesse. From 1984 to 1990 Varenholt worked as chief officer in the Environmental Authority for the Land of Hamburg, and in 1990/91 he was head of the Senate Chancellery. From 1991 to 1997 he was a Hamburg senator and President of the Environmental Authority, as well as the head of the supervisory board of HEW."
