New Study Explodes Human-Global Warming Story

As much of the U.S. is being blasted by vicious ice storms, a blockbuster report published in a prestigious scientific journal insists that the evidence shows that climate warming is both natural and unstoppable and that carbon dioxide (CO2) is not a pollutant.

Paging Algore.

Duh. Algore, get a clue.

Throwing a whale-sized wrench in their machine.

Boy, this report is a very inconvenient truth on the day that Algore waddled up to the podium to accept his bogus Peace Prize in Norway, financed by the purveyors of dynamite. You can’t make this stuff up.

[ClearCase_guy]

Sounds good to me.

However, saying it is "unstoppable" -- which may be the journalist talking, not the scientists -- is unwise. It may be unstoppable by Man, but it will eventually stop, no matter what the cause.

Another report banned from the Bali conference.

meanwhile, an expert is calling for a baby tax and population controls like in China

...observed patterns of temperature changes ("fingerprints") over the last 30 years disagree with what greenhouse models predict and can better be explained by natural factors, such as solar variability.

Variation in the Sun's radiation may have something to do with this changing temperatures on Earth. What an amazing concept/sarc.

I was just re-watching one of the excellent Planet Earth specials last night, which mentioned all the ice ages and warming cycles over the past millions of years.

I find it ironic that many of the eco-activists who believe human-caused global warming is the gospel truth are the same ones who so excellently document the fact that the planet has undergone dramatic periods of cooling and warming since the days of the mammoths. Perhaps cavemen had SUVs and freon.

Saw this one a few months ago. About made me puke when Sigourney Weaver started reading the GW bile.

"Our research demonstrates that the ongoing rise of atmospheric CO2 has only a minor influence on climate change. We must conclude, therefore, that attempts to control CO2 emissions are ineffective and pointless — but very costly."

The costly part is the whole point.

[RC2]

The one thing they don’t mention is that the caveman didn’t earn $50 million by scaring people like Al Gore has done. Just follow the money and forget science......Gore has and it’s payed off for him.

The sheeple don't care. They believe what they are spoon fed by the MSM.

I love the selective acceptance of Newsmax articles by FReepers. Had this been an article slamming one of the favorite ‘R’ presidential candiates there’d be catcalls and smears about the source.

But since the article subject is something most of us agree on Newsmax is just fine!

[BillM]

It seems to me that the article was not written by Newsmax.

I believe that the authors do not work for Newsmax.

Talk about blaming the messenger!!!

[Sender]

I tend not to believe most articles on global warming, regardless of the source. I tend to believe articles and documentaries by real scientists who don't have a financial interest in the matter and who only want to explain Earth's history. Many of them believe that the Earth has undergone monumental cycles of heating and cooling over the millennia, monumental enough to flood parts of continents and create new land, with cycles of glaciers and droughts that forever changed the environmental landscape. They have found quite a bit of credible proof in rocks, reefs and ice cores. I tend to believe these guys.

So if the human industrial age is so critically putting Earth in the balance, what about all the calamities that either froze or drowned whole species? What about the volcanoes, reefs, seas that came about before freon and SUVs? And the last time I talked to a plant, they wanted more CO2 please. Plants everywhere thank us.

That doesn’t matter. If newsmax posts a story slamming a candidate of choice around here, as sure as the sun rises there will be anti-newsmax replies.

CO2 has only a minor influence on climate change

At between 340-360 ppm, the thermal contribution of CO2 literally disappears in a third-order differential climate model.
