Global Warming: it's not caused by greenhouse gases says academic

An Australian academic has spoken out against the popular view that global warming is caused by greenhouse gas emissions. He believes that global warming and climate change are caused by cycles in the sun's electro-magnetic radiation. He says scientists are taking a narrow view and politicians are making policy with the wrong information.
Emeritus Professor Lance Endersbee AO is a former Dean of Engineering and Pro-Vice Chancellor of Monash University. He told Tom Harwood, ABC Western Queensland's Morning Program producer that the world has been warming naturally due to increased magnetic radiation from the sun.
One thousand years ago the Vikings were in Greenland, and they settled there and it was a warm period, known as the medieval warm period and Europe was prosperous," he said. "And then from about 1300 on it got progressively colder and in the time of the 1600s it was terribly cold in Europe. Finland lost about one-third of their population and the Thames froze over regularly every year and people were able to travel from London up the river on sleighs - so it was a different climate," explained Professor Endersbee.

>>>It is a bit naive to think that at least part of global warming is not caused by greenhouse gases. <<<
Why? Is there any proof whatsoever that so-called “greenhouse gases” even exist? After all, the chief “villian”, according to the Global Warming Alarmists, is Carbon Dioxide, which man and animals exhale on every breath, and plants “inhale” as their basic food for growth. Plants actually benefit from increased Carbon Dioxide. Check this out:

BTW, it is a bit naive to think that Al Gore is telling the truth about anything, except maybe his name. It is also a bit naive to think that man can alter the climate of this vast planet.
For investing purposes, he said just to read the first 100 pages. Really only ninety-nine, iirc. At least in my copy.
Sure he can play the guitar and do science, but can he be invited to play at Live Earth?
No more funding for this guy.
Scientists are more likely to play cello as primary instrument than guitar since the theory is more mathematically permeable. If they have need of a cello at the concert they might invite one.
See post #16 for a link to it!
I already found it online and have it in my cart. I am now browsing for another book.
He certainly did made your point! I love it!
Does ANYBODY know the amount of CO2 in our natural environment?
Fresh air contains approximately 0.033% CO2 by volume. In the respiratory action (breathing) of all animals and humans, CO2 is exhaled. There is about 5% in the air we breathe out.
Water vapor is the main GHG. 90% if it naturally produced.
I picked up a copy about 10 years ago. Published as a Wordsworth Reference paperback in 1995 (Paid $4.90 for it)
No one has said that weather is a settled science except for GW believers.
The levels of CO2 that humans produce is a drop in the bucket and could have no desernible effect on climate change. The highest CO2 levels in the history of the world were accompanied by the coldest weather(millions of years ago).
CO2 is NOT an indicator of climate warmth. Water Vapor is the only "green house gas" that actually has an effect on weather. The Sun is the absolute provider of heat and cold on the planet earth and of our solar system. Anyone who believes the delusional crap put out by these people needs to have a brain transplant.
Sorry, but you know from your statements I perceive you to be a global warming appologist who just doesn't have the guts to come out and say so, so you tippy toe around the edges with your statements about green house gasses and try to temper them by saying GW is not true. Your statements say you believe otherwise.
Finally, a scientist using his brain cells that he was gifted with.
“Follow the money.”
Exactly right. “Scientists” can make a lot of money by taking sides with the enviro-alarmists.
Oh Duh....of course, it has to do with the Sun’s activity...completely. Why is Mars warming up...greenhouse gases??? LOL.........
Check out www.amazon.com they have it.

bookmark bttt. Thanks.
Global warming is not primarily caused by so called “greenhouse gases”, that truth is as obvious as the sun.
Perhaps we can get a group of enviro-wackos to go up there and pee on the sun to cool it off.
