Two more significant protests from the science community over the hype being given to human wrought global warming. A Canadian Climatologist who has actually researched and studied the subject of global warming
says that the sun is the prime mover:
The Canadian expert concludes, “CO2 variations show little correlation with our planet’s climate on long, medium and even short time scales.” Instead, Earth’s sea surface temperatures show a massive 95 percent lagged correlation with the sunspot index.
Patterson says climate change is the most complex field we’ve ever studied. He notes that a 2003 German poll of 530 scientists from 27 countries found two-thirds of the respondents doubted that “the current state of scientific knowledge is developed well enough to allow for a reasonable assessment of the effects of greenhouse gases.”
Also, American Thinker is reporting that Science Magazine, the "flagship journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science" is "waffling like mad on the global warming fad, warning its readers that it may not be so settled a question." (I have to take them at their word since the magazine is behind a subscription firewall).
In the article it is revealed that computer models that form the basis for the IPCC document on global warming failed to realistically account for the cooling effect of aerosols - otherwise known as haze, water-vapor and airborne particles - and therefore the "simulations look more certain than they should."
Of course, that IPCC document is what is always referred to when the global warming chicken littles want to prove the infallibility of their religion. Skeptics have been poking holes in its veracity all along, but these two straws seem to add a lot of weight to the camel's back. Metaphorically speaking, that is...
