New Study Rocks Confidence in Climate Change Models, Predictions

A lot of information has come to light in the last day or so which blows yet another hole in the fantasy of anthropogenic global warming.

E Science News published an article yesterday which pointed out massive global warming in the past (before SUVs and power plants) that cannot be explained with an anthropogenic model. Oceanographer Gerald Dickens points out that the best guessing we’ve been doing with our little climate models is likely wrong:

“In a nutshell, theoretical models cannot explain what we observe in the geological record,” said oceanographer Gerald Dickens, a co-author of the study and professor of Earth science at Rice University. “There appears to be something fundamentally wrong with the way temperature and carbon are linked in climate models.”

Today Reuters published a similar article stating that during the Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum event, temperatures on earth rose 5-9 degrees Celsius within a few thousand years. Far before evil capitalists came along to wreck the planet, earth was much warmer and had no ice at all on the surface, the report says.

Gerald Dickens and Richard E. Zeebe have a peer-reviewed article just published in the journal Nature Geoscience which says “unknown processes accounted for much of warming in the ancient hot spell.”

Climate Depot cites other scientists who realize how incredibly weak is the foundation for the contention of anthropogenic global warming.

“Over geologic time. there has been 15 to 25 times more CO2 than current concentrations; the claim that this time we will reach a tipping point is alarmist, ludicrous, and totally without foundation,” declared atmospheric scientist Robert W. Endlich on July 12, 2009. Endlich tests weather software at the Physical Sciences Laboratory at New Mexico State University, and is a former weather officer with the U.S. Air Force who has published papers in the technical literature.

Also, Dr. Anastasios Tsonis co-author of the University of Milwaukee peer-reviewed paper said in March 2009, “I don’t think we can say much about what the humans are doing.”

More from Reuters:

We now believe that the CO2 did not cause all the warming, that there were additional factors,” said Richard Zeebe, an oceanographer with the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

They estimated about 3 trillion tonnes of carbon (11 trillion tonnes of CO2) was released over several thousand years from the methane deposits, leading to a 70 percent rise in atmospheric CO2 levels from pre-event levels.

But Zeebe said this could only explain a 1 to 3.5 degree Celsius rise in temperatures, adding that a commonly accepted scientific range for a doubling of CO2 is between 1.5 and 4.5 degrees Celsius.

This meant other factors must have been at work to drive up temperatures between 5 and 9 degrees Celsius.

Eleven trillion tons of CO2? And Al Gore’s disciples are whining about our tiny contribution? And this 11 trillion tons of CO2 can only explain a 1-3.5 degree C rise?

How much more glaring evidence do we need before the Koolaid-drinking environmentalists get a grip?

Isn’t the data showing that temperature drives CO2 rises enough? Isn’t the data showing solar activity’s effects on the earth’s temperature enough? Isn’t the data showing large climate change going back thousands of years enough? Isn’t the global warming on other planets (where there are no SUVs or capitalists) enough?

No, nothing will ever be enough for these extremists. Because it really isn’t about saving the planet in the first place. It’s about pushing a socialist agenda to cripple the capitalist nations of the west. It’s about wealth redistribution and socialist schemes under the guise of environmentalism.

While nothing will ever be enough to straighten out the socialists and other Koolaid drinkers, we have more than enough for the American people to force our government to stop treating us worse than foreign dictators and stop this cap and trade global warming tax nonsense in the Senate.

We should not allow our economy to be devastated based on a bunch of nonsense.
