Study: Tropical Hotspot ‘Fingerprint’ Of Global Warming Doesn’t Exist In The Real World Data
Watts Up With That ^ | September 22, 2016 | September 22, 2016

Researchers analyzed temperature observations from satellites, weather balloons, weather stations and buoys and found the so-called “tropical hotspot” relied upon by the EPA to declare carbon dioxide a pollutant “simply does not exist in the real world.”

They found that once El Ninos are taken into account, “there is no ‘record setting’ warming to be concerned about.”

“These analysis results would appear to leave very, very little doubt but that EPA’s claim of a Tropical Hot Spot (THS), caused by rising atmospheric CO2 levels, simply does not exist in the real world,” reads the report by economist James Wallace, climatologist John Christy and meteorologist Joseph D’Aleo.

“Also critically important, even on an all-other-things-equal basis, this analysis failed to find that the steadily rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations have had a statistically significant impact on any of the 13 critically important temperature time series analyzed,” they wrote.

When EPA released its CO2 endangerment finding in 2009, it used three lines of evidence to bolster its argument that greenhouse gases threatened human health through global warming.The crux of EPA’s argument rested on the existence of a “tropical hotspot” where global warming would be most apparent. That is, there should be enhanced warming in the tropical troposphere — the “fingerprint” of global warming.

EPA’s endangerment finding is the legal basis for agency global warming regulations, including the Clean Power Plan (CPP) now being fought over in federal court. CPP aims to cut power plant carbon dioxide emissions 32 percent by 2030 and could cost $41 billion a year, according to independent estimates.

Duh, because CO2 rises follow historical global warming, not the other way around. It's the Sun, not man, making any changes. Truth is, there currently is no global warming. And it won't happen because of CO2 concentrations. It's all a sham, a con, for redirection of monetary assets worldwide.

No smoking hot spot David Evans - THE AUSTRALIAN July 18, 2008

1. The greenhouse signature is missing. We have been looking and measuring for years, and cannot find it.

Each possible cause of global warming has a different pattern of where in the planet the warming occurs first and the most. The signature of an increased greenhouse effect is a hot spot about 10km up in the atmosphere over the tropics. We have been measuring the atmosphere for decades using radiosondes: weather balloons with thermometers that radio back the temperature as the balloon ascends through the atmosphere. They show no hot spot. Whatsoever.

If there is no hot spot then an increased greenhouse effect is not the cause of global warming. So we know for sure that carbon emissions are not a significant cause of the global warming. If we had found the greenhouse signature then I would be an alarmist again.

This is an argument our disoriented brother, Cruz, has been making.

I'm sorry for all of you with brains out there. The grifters and those making money in the globull warming religion will never let facts and truth get in the way of settled science. When I was a younger man, science was to be tested and objectively looked at by scientists in the field. Consensuses is not a scientific means of determination of anything.

Nowadays, people notice something. And then some academics come along from their ivory tower and their computer models and they say, “I think that maybe the initial conditions were like this ... and then I’m going to guess that this happened ... also a possible follow-up was this other event ... and I conjecture that this other thing resulted.”

And that’s how a lot of science is done these days. At least, that’s how “settled science” is done these days. All that’s left is to type up the paper.

NOTE: some people actually do real science. But almost none of them work in climate science. I could name other fields which are basically frauds but I’ll stick with climate for now.

A lot of today’s “science” (especially that which is most in the news) is nothing but scientism.

“So we know for sure that carbon emissions are not a significant cause of the global warming.”

Hardly surprising that they cannot find a supposed cause for something that does not exist. Finding the cause of AGW is like finding what turned the Unicorns pink.

There no Science of the Climate. Not even good Engineering estimates.
