COPENHAGEN, Denmark, March 15 (UPI) -- A Danish scientist said the idea of a "global temperature" and global warming is more political than scientific.
University of Copenhagen Professor Bjarne Andresen has analyzed the topic in collaboration with Canadian Professors Christopher Essex from the University of Western Ontario and Ross McKitrick of the University of Guelph.
It is generally assumed the Earth's atmosphere and oceans have grown warmer during the recent 50 years because of an upward trend in the so-called global temperature, which is the result of complex calculations and averaging of air temperature measurements taken around the world.
"It is impossible to talk about a single temperature for something as complicated as the climate of Earth," said Andresen, an expert on thermodynamics. "A temperature can be defined only for a homogeneous system. Furthermore, the climate is not governed by a single temperature. Rather, differences of temperatures drive the processes and create the storms, sea currents, thunder, etc. which make up the climate".
He says the currently used method of determining the global temperature -- and any conclusion drawn from it -- is more political than scientific.
The argument is presented in the Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics.

Everyone knows the Journal is a Republican propaganda machine, a mouthpiece for all that is evil. I wonder which Big Oil payroll he's getting his payola from? /s
So a bunch of egghead professors thinks they knows more about climate than Al Gore?
Much warmer this morning: -19
Much warmer this morning: -19
Please make sure to post his obituary next week. Those GW fundamentalists don't take kindly to heresy.
Agreed. And also consider that CO2 only comprises 0.036% (1/3 of 1%) of the atmosphere and that has not even doubled. How can something less than 2/3rds of 1% drive the climate to this "horrific" destruction that Al Gore is claiming that is only 10 years away!?

Dead man walking.
He'll spend the rest of his life hiding in the basement now.
The Global Warming Syndicate will fine him 50,000 carbon credits for such a heretical statement.
is about 1/30th of 1%.

Oh come on now. Look at the title of this publication - Thermodynamics??? Why cite this when you can cite 'An Inconvenient Truth'. Thermodynamics versus Truth??? Written study versus celluloid?? Scientist versus Oscar winner?? This is America. Hollywood is always right!
In other words....you guys left my lab off the "grant money" list so i can research your "support"......
You are so right! Thanks for the correction! And to think I have a degree in Math and Computer Science! Ooops!
I saw this all over the newspapers. It was on every news outlet on TV as well with 24 hour coverage. I couldn't believe they were actually reporting and giving a fair say to something that contradicted their agenda.
Then I woke up. (it was a dream)
I watched a two-hour movie on the net yesterday. It was made in England and strongly condemned the GW myth and debunked it thoroughly. I did not see the link to the film, but just look up GW films and it should be easy to find. It was not on UTube, but another film site. Don't miss it! GW is a huge leftist political ploy and is a dangerous as such and as a new religion with St. Gore leading the attack.
