The science is in: global warming will not be catastrophic says SPPI
Yourfindit.com ^ | 8/17/2009 | Staff

Posted on 08/25/2009 7:23:48 AM PDT by Titus-Maximus

SPPI’s authoritative Monthly CO2 Report for July 2009 announces the publication of a major peer-reviewed paper by Professor Richard Lindzen of MIT, demonstrating by direct measurement that outgoing long-wave radiation is escaping to space far faster than the UN predicts, and proving that the UN has exaggerated global warming 6-fold.

Lindzen’s paper on outgoing long-wave radiation shows that the “global warming” scare is over. Thanks to recent peer-reviewed papers that have not been mentioned in the mainstream news media, we now know that the effect of CO2 on temperature is small, we now why it is small, and we know that it is having very little effect on the climate.

This month’s CO2 Report provides the latest real-world scientific data about the climate –

The IPCC assumes CO2 concentration will reach 836 ppmv by 2100, but, for almost eight years, CO2 concentration has headed straight for only 570 ppmv by 2100. This alone halves all of the IPCC’s temperature projections.

Since 1980 temperature has risen at only 2.5 °F (1.5 °C)/century, not the 7 F° (3.9 C°) the IPCC imagines.

Sea level rose just 8 inches in the 20th century and has been rising at just 1 ft/century since 1993. Sea level has scarcely risen since 2006. Also, Pacific atolls are not being drowned by the sea, as some have suggested.

Arctic sea-ice extent is about the same as it has been at this time of year in the past decade. In the Antarctic, sea ice extent – on a 30-year rising trend – reached a record high in 2007. Global sea ice extent shows little trend for 30 years.

Hurricane and tropical-cyclone activity is at its lowest since satellite measurement began.

Solar activity has declined again, after a large sunspot earlier in the month. The Sun is still very quiet.

The (very few) benefits and the (very large) costs of the Waxman/Markey Bill are illustrated. The Bill would cost trillions and achieve nothing.

Science Focus this month studies the effect of the Sun on the formation of clouds. IT’S THE SUN, STUPID!

Robert Ferguson, SPPI’s president, said: “From the oceans via the surface and the upper atmosphere to outer space, real-world measurements prove beyond reasonable doubt that there was not, is not, and will not be any ‘climate crisis’. All of the results we publish here are of direct relevance to the debate about “global warming”. Yet none of these results will likely be published in any mainstream news medium. The facts are not fitting the theory nor backing the scare, so the media simply suppress them.”

They are quiet because they know that our government will ruin this country before global warming even has a chance to get started.

Not to worry. They’re quickly spinning this to their favor. Soon we’ll hear evidence that all of the regulations the Dems have put into place have obviously made a substantial impact on global warming. They’ll pat themselves on the backs for a job well done and Al Gore will get another award for his important planet-altering work.

Only a few months at the job, and Obama has already lowered the seas and healed the planet.

Global warming is a figment of one of algore’s drunken stupers.

This idiot warmist is virtually suicidal at the news. However, much like his empty Global Warming arguments, he continues to show up at gunfights with no magazines and no ammunition.

People will read about global warming in history books and chuckle at just how stupid people were in these times.

Gee don’t let actual peer reviewed scientific research stand in the way of passing cap and trade. Besides Al Gore told us that science had conclusively proved his global warming BS and no further research was needed.

Very catastrophic!

Any extra temp might result in longer growing seasons and more northerly regions that can grow crops. How can population control move forward with all this extra food capable of feeding the “useless eaters” and third-world starving nations?

Dems will hide the information. Just like they did with "The Club of Rome", the "earth is going to freeze", "nuclear winter" and "the population bomb" and all the other times they were WRONG. The press will just stop talking about it one day. And in some Owellian fashion - it'll cease to exist.

Well let me tell you a little story about that. A few years ago some pro-GW scientists put 3000 radiosonde buoys in the ocean to measure temperatures. When they started to send out data the scientist were perplexed because the temps were not as warm or going up as fast as the computer predicted. In fact they showed a slight cooling trend. Facing a huge quandary the scientist did the only logical, to them, thing. They recalibrated the radiosondes to send out temps that matched the computer predictions. Problem solved, write story about the oceans warming, send out to SRM.

I wish this was a joke, but sadly this is what passes as science today. We have the answer, if you want money, generate data to prove it.

Can I ask a stupid question? What is with the Romney video that is constantly put up there at the beginning of threads having nothing to do with abortion? Just wondering. Pro life myself.

Agreed. But we're making the assumption Globull Warming will even be mentioned in the textbooks. If GW turns into an embarrassment for the libs, I doubt it will be included.
