Copenhagen climate summit: global warming 'caused by sun's radiation'

Global warming is caused by radiation from the sun, according to a leading scientist speaking out at an alternative "sceptics' conference" in Copenhagen.

5:10PM GMT 08 Dec 2009

Professor Henrik Svensmark argued that the recent arming period was caused by solar activity.

As the world gathered in the Danish capital for the UN Climate Change Conference, more than 50 scientists, businessmen and lobby groups met to discuss the arguments against man made global warming.

Although the meeting was considerably smaller than the official gathering of 15,000 people meeting down the road, the organisers claimed it could change the course of negotiations.

Sceptics 'may resort to illegal acts to stop climate deal' Professor Henrik Svensmark, a physicist at the Danish National Space Center in Copenhagen, said the recent warming period was caused by solar activity.

He said the last time the world experienced such high temperatures, during the medieval warming period, the Sun and the Earth were in a similar cycle.

Professor Nils-Axel Morner, a geologist from Stockholm University, said sea level rise has also been exaggerated by the “climate alarmists” using computer models.

He said observational data from lake sediments, coast lines and trees show sea levels have remained stable.

Professor Cliff Ollier, another geologist from the University of Western Australia, also said the environmental lobby have got it wrong on ice caps. He said the melting of ice sheets is caused by geothermal activity rather than global surface temperatures.

Professor Ian Plimer, from the University of Adelaide, claimed carbon dioxide from volcanoes rather than humans is driving warming as part of a natural process.

Radiation is evil.

Combustion engines are evil.

Then it’s obvious: We must at all costs stop the solar cycle! And continental drift, too! And entropy! And the heartbreak of psoriasis! Only one world government can save us!

Western Civ and its success is evil.

That’s what this is about.

"Radiation is evil."

Can't we take all that radiation and store it at Yucca Mountain in Nevada?

Who could possibly believe that the center of our solar system would have anything to do with warming the Earth.

It’s cow farts, I tell ya. Cow Farts!?!?

Woke up this morning, it was 30 degrees headed for a high of 55 degrees. The 25 degree difference can’t be caused by the Sun. Nope, probably all that CO2 from people rushing off to work and the pollution from their SUVs. If this wasn’t so serious, the whole premise would be comical.

Sceptics 'may resort to illegal acts to stop climate deal'

Someone needs to pose for a photo with a running chainsaw, poised to bite into a huge tree.

Captions may include:
"Stop the Global Warming Scam - or the tree gets it!" or
"For each senator and representative that votes for Cap and Trade, one acre of trees will die. Every month"

Essentially all our warming is from the sun. Weather and climate are just nature’s way of getting rid of the excess heat. If there were no atmosphere, the earth would be frigid cold like the moon, since the sun’s heat would be radiated off the surface at night.

This is all well and good- but the fact is that this summit won’t get ANY attention by the mainstream media, and noone will know the summit even happened-

Scientists have been tryign to sound the alarm that man is NOT to blame for years now, and NOONE listened- the mainstream media buried the evidence refuting the claims, and congress IGNORED the scientists- and will continue to ignore them- The UN certainly isn’ty goign to listen, and those criminals in copenhagen won’t listen either- So as good as that summit is, it won’t amount to nayhting- Truth has lost- the LIES of ‘man-caused global wamring’ has won

I’m just a big bowl of cheer, eh?
