Danish scientist: Global warming is a myth
UPI ^ | 03/15/07

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.

What sheer Hubris of Humanity that we think our puny enterprises can disrupt an entire planet; man-made changes in LOCAL microclimates perhaps but maybe that's a result of increasing URBANIZATION which also occured as a consequence of the industrial revolution and not anything to do with 'eeeeevil' fossil fuel use that the 'green' activists WANT to blame it on.

As for GLOBAL climate; variances in insolation are well known to occur periodically why assume Man is 'guilty' of what even small changes in the Sun can much more easily affect?

There is an anti-West, anti-industrial anti-Progress anti-human POLITICAL agenda at work in this 'debate' and it STINKS imo..

He's in hiding under an assumed name with around the clock security for suggesting such a thing. Global warming is the newest communist tool the left is rallying around.

I do believe this is the very first time I have seen this fact reported. Climate is dynamic!!!!! who knew? /s

Reported by very un-right-wing UPI and the sources are Danish and Canadian. No Americans, probably no oil company money and I bet they don't care about grants!

Not so much a myth as it is a lie.

That's a tough one. Since we are going to destroy the Earth in a few years, I would go with naming a star after her.

No shiite!. I don't need a professor to tell me science is politics anymore than I need a dropout seminary student to preach socialist causes are true science. We need the caning men from Singapore to administer some justice. Either that or bring back the stocks and ducking stool to Boston Common.

Thanks, but if I go with the credits I'll probably follow Al-Gore's example and just print my own.

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)

Maybe it was more of a premonition. I have the feeling that the wheels are starting to come off the GW bandwagon. Within two or three years reality will once again prevail. Temporarily.

It's only Man-Made Global Warming because only Man can pay taxes.
