Another significant paper finds low climate sensitivity to CO2, suggesting no global warming crisis

Hot on the heels of the Lewis and Curry paper, we have this new paper, which looks to be well researched, empirically based, and a potential blockbuster for dimming the alarmism that has been so prevalent over climate sensitivity. With a climate sensitivity of just 0.43°C, it takes the air out of the alarmism balloon.

The Hockey Schtick writes: A new paper published in the Open Journal of Atmospheric and Climate Change by renowned professor of physics and expert on spectroscopy Dr. Hermann Harde finds that climate sensitivity to a doubling of CO2 levels is only about [0.6C], about 7 times less than the IPCC claims, but in line with many other published low estimates of climate sensitivity.

The paper further establishes that climate sensitivity to tiny changes in solar activity is comparable to that of CO2 and by no means insignificant as the IPCC prefers to claim. . .

I’m encouraged to read this being published. However the political fix is in. The potential to control the economy and the minds of the masses is too great to allow it any impact.

This can’t be true. Leonardo DiCaprio said that Global Warming is real and dangerous. What does some scientist know about weather and climate? Leonardo DiCaprio knows all. /s

only liberal pantloads know for sure! grin and bear it.

How do they expect the politicians and other scammers to make any real money from the climate scare if they keep publishing factual research like this?

No Global Warming?

Gee, don’t tell all the Chicken Littles, or the vast horde of marginally competent scientists who are greedily cashing in - at taxpayer expense - on yet another manufactured environmental non-catastrophe.
