From No smoking hot spot in the Australian.
The evidence is not there:
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.
Carbon is not the culprit:
2. There is no evidence to support the idea that carbon emissions cause significant global warming. None. There is plenty of evidence that global warming has occurred, and theory suggests that carbon emissions should raise temperatures (though by how much is hotly disputed) but there are no observations by anyone that implicate carbon emissions as a significant cause of the recent global warming.
Oh, and by the way, THE WARMING HAS STOPPED:
3. The satellites that measure the world's temperature all say that the warming trend ended in 2001, and that the temperature has dropped about 0.6C in the past year (to the temperature of 1980). Land-based temperature readings are corrupted by the "urban heat island" effect: urban areas encroaching on thermometer stations warm the micro-climate around the thermometer, due to vegetation changes, concrete, cars, houses. Satellite data is the only temperature data we can trust, but it only goes back to 1979. NASA reports only land-based data, and reports a modest warming trend and recent cooling. The other three global temperature records use a mix of satellite and land measurements, or satellite only, and they all show no warming since 2001 and a recent cooling.
Did you catch that last one? There is no global warming anymore. It's not happening. Temperatures have dropped. Dropped!
Read the whole thing; it's not very long.
There was a brutally tragic irony on display on the Australian's web page when I got there. Right next to this article on the subject of how global warming is over and how CARBON WAS NEVER THE ISSUE, this is the rotating advertisement that was showing:
What is wrong with these people?
Recently, it was asserted that I was a science-denying, intellectually lazy Luddite for writing this short, simple article.
At least I don't pervert science for my own gain or larger agendas and then claim that contrary science isn't science at all.
Well, DUH! No person with a thimble of common sense has found any reason to believe 32 out of 100,000 air molecules would end the world.

The coldest summer ever? You might be looking at it, weather folks say.

The reason they have not found evidence of global warming, is because the environuts have changed the term to climate change.
It’s not carbon emissions. It’s carbon dioxide and if they continue with this carbon footprint thing they will have to move out of the guest cabin.
Since when does the ‘looney left’ need EVIDENCE for any of their far-left, big government, nut-case policies and ideas????
In the comment thread on the article linked at the end, one of the commenters asserted that scientists never lose their jobs for challenging the dominant scientific orthodoxy on an issue. What nerve!
Stone him! Ostracize him! Call him a denier!
I wonder what ever happened to carbon monoxide?
....at approximately 0430 hours Central Daylight Time this morning, July 26, 2008, the climate in Middle Tennessee change abruptly when it started to rain...HARD!...developing.....
The science supporting carbon based global warming was never good and has simply not held up under true scientific inquiry. That is exactly why Al Gore pushed that a "consensus of scientists" agreed with the theory and NO further investigation was necessary except experiments which might validate man made global warming. It has become obvious that those experiments and data suppossedly validating man made global warming have been shown to be exagerations of fact or in some cases manufactured. Cases in point: the "hockey stick" graph, 1998 being the warmest year on record while 1934 was clearly hotter, historic ground temperature data was accurate while it was quickly shown that many recording stations were located in places that undoubtedly gave false higher readings etc.
That a respected scientist and former global warming believer has come forth and said there is no scientific evidence to back the claim of carbon based global warming as wells as numerous other studies showing the same lack of evidence should end the debate. However, global warming is a cult belief that has been taken up by liberals as the ideal vehicle to increase taxes and government control.

Hmmm so let think about this that the only global warming might be caused by the urban (big city = Liberal) areas and this left/green mass transit model to concentrate people in to even bigger urban area is the worst thing to do ... (guilt/ mind mess a lib today)
Well, better to have them concentrated so they don’t disperse, altering the electoral map everywhere they go!
