Professor Murry Salby, chair of climate at Macquarie University, has unleashed on global warming alarmism in a lecture this week to the Sydney Institute.
Salby has worked at leading research institutions, including the US National Center for Atmospheric Research, Princeton University, and the University of Colorado, and is the author of Fundamentals of Atmospheric Physics, and Physics of the Atmosphere and Climate, due out in 2011.
Salby’s argument is that the usual evidence given for the rise in CO2 being man-made is mistaken.

If global climate warms, that certainly coaxes more carbon dioxide out of the oceans, as well as helping increase the number of fauna who all breathe out carbon dioxide. Green plants in turn appreciate all that extra carbon dioxide, and grow lushly to show their love while snarfing down much of the excess.
Any feasible amount of human generated carbon dioxide in the air is not going to hit the global climate anywhere near as hard as other factors like cloud cover (which in turn is related to sunspots), water vapor, even humble methane. Blaming carbon dioxide for runaway warming of the global climate is like blaming a dripping faucet for the flood brought by a storm.

This is what happens when you finally get a researcher who did not sleep through Freshman Bio.
It's called the Carbon Cycle. I wonder if they even teach it anymore in our agenda driven, AGW obsessed Academia
“It’s called the Carbon Cycle.”
Hey, give them a break, that’s new science. That carbon cycle thingy dingy didn’t even make the pages of National Geographic until the 1970s.
Looks like snow in the Texas Panhandle tonight. Just a normal October night.
“Looks like snow in the Texas Panhandle tonight.”
Ice age! Ice age! We’re all gonna die because we didn’t ride the bus and switch to “alternative energy sources.”
About time some of this was figured out. We’ve known that warming water releases dissolved CO2 for how long? Not to mention getting warmer makes my bottle of coca-cola, root beer, or Sprite go flat.
Philadelphia is actually expecting light snow as well, conversion from snow to rain as temperatures drop into the upper 30s.
Yeah. They are calling these October snow storms freak. Ha ha. It wont seem freakish come January. This will be the worse winter of the recent extended solar minimum. We need the current late solar maximum to crank with activity for at least 2 years. My guess is we have stopped the cooling trend, due to recent solar maximum activity, but are near rock bottom right now. Might get some relief next winter if the sun can at least stay active until summer.
