Default Climate Change Confirmed, Global Warming Canceled

National Business Review (NBR) - Business, News, Arts, Media, Share Market & More

Quote:
The alarmists argue that increased CO2 leads to more water vapour - the main greenhouse gas - and this provides positive feedback and hence makes the overall climate highly sensitive to small increases in the concentration of CO2.

Consequently, the IPCC argues that while carbon dioxide may well "run out of puff" the consequent evaporation of water vapour provides the positive feedback loop that will make anthropogenic global warming reach dangerous levels.

The IPCC models assumed water vapour formed clouds at high altitudes that lead to further warming. The Aqua satellite observations and Spencer's analysis show water vapour actually forms clouds at low altitudes that lead to cooling.

Furthermore, Spencer shows the extra rain that falls from these clouds cools the underlying oceans, providing a second negative feedback to negate the CO2 warming.

Alarmists' quandary

This has struck the alarmists like a thunderbolt, especially as the lead author of the IPCC chapter on feedback has written to Spencer agreeing that he is right!

The climate is not highly sensitive to CO2 warming because water vapour is a damper against the warming effect of CO2.
If this turns out to be correct, the implications?

Quote:
"A great many founts of authority, from the Royal Society to the UN, most heads of government along with countless captains of industry, learned professors, commentators and journalists will be profoundly embarrassed. Let us hope it is a prolonged and chastening experience.

"With catastrophe off the agenda, for most people the fog of millennial gloom will lift, at least until attention turns to the prospect of the next ice age. Among the better educated, the sceptical cast of mind that is the basis of empiricism will once again be back in fashion. The delusion that by recycling and catching public transport we can help save the planet will quickly come to be seen for the childish nonsense it was all along.

I'm going to keep my eye on this one, because God only knows how the media will portray this given their recent penchant to delete entire paragraphs under pressure from environmentalists.

you know as well as I do that news like that will never hit the airwaves or newspapers. it seems to be that any news contradicting global climate change is kept mum, like a gag order.

And this is the facts that must be reached out to people, allowing them to make an informed decision as to this so called fad.

I still think that being eco friendly is a scam cooked up to bring down the wealthy nations, after all we have the most to lose. That being said, i read in the paper earth day is supposedly coming up, *yippeee* <sarcasm>, another reason for people to feel good about going green.
