A major new scientific study concludes the impact of carbon dioxide emissions on worldwide temperatures is largely irrelevant, prompting one veteran meteorologist to quip, "You can go outside and spit and have the same effect as doubling carbon dioxide."
That comment comes from Reid Bryson, founding chairman of the Department of Meteorology at the University of Wisconsin, who said the temperature of the earth is increasing, but that it's got nothing to do with what man is doing.
"Of course it's going up. It has gone up since the early 1800s, before the Industrial Revolution, because we're coming out of the Little Ice Age, not because we're putting more carbon dioxide into the air."
"Anthropogenic (man-made) global warming bites the dust," declared astronomer Ian Wilson after reviewing the newest study, now accepted for publication in the peer-reviewed Journal of Geophysical Research.

Our local meteorolist stood up and discounted this man made global warming crap, too.
Trouble is, it now has a political-religious following. It will take a generation to get rid of this one, and by God’s grace, we may hope not to replace it with yet another “global cooling/coming ice age” scare.
I need to find a Global warming Denier T shirt to wear.

I thought "scientists" were behind the belief in global warming. Even the simplest student should be able to tell from those numbers that CO2 is irrelevant in the warming of the earth.
My energy consumption at work is down 15% since April due to mild temperatures. I am looking out the window at yet another 65 degree August day in the New York Metro Area.
The people who decide on my bonus are all big GW believers, so they think I’m some kind of Energy Conservation GOD!
There is really nothing very mysterious about it. The entire "climate change" movement is really just bad science, and foolish people.
Try this. When somebody starts spewing AGM nonsense, just point, laugh and say "You've been listening to that nutjob Owl Gore again, haven't you? Try looking at the data yourself and you won't make such a fool of yourself in public" Blank stares usually result because most people who believe this tripe read or listen to the headlines and go no farther. It's easy to bury them and Owl Gore's arguments in the truth. It's exactly why Gore won't debate ANYONE on the subject.
” I need to find a Global warming Denier T shirt to wear. “
how about GW = VBS + PRH
(Global Warming equals Very Bad Science plus Psuedo-Religious Hysteria) ?
If you actually read the “sizzling paper” referred to by this WorldNet report — congratulations! It is highly technical. However, as far as I can tell from a quick reading, it looks very good. Not exactly “sizzling,” though.
The paper by Schwarz brings up some fundamental points about global heat-balance.
There is no doubt that the Global Warming mania has become an industry for grant-writers. You end up with a host of happy researchers working in rather limited areas, all dining off of the proceeds of grants to study “global warming.” Naturally, they must pay lip-service to the alleged threat. Just how much they really believe, we will never know until the movement collapses. It reminds me of all those Chinese who claimed to worship Mao, and the New York Times (in the person of James Reston) proclaimed that no one opposed Mao, and that their reverence was impressive to a good “Presbyterian.” Later, of course, we found that almost no one actually loved Mao, but they are too embarrassed now to lose face by admitting how loathsome he was, and that they all went along out of ignorance or fear.
Global warming reminds me of some of the feeding frenzies of the past, such as the great threat of acid rain. And what about the danger of radon? No one talks about these now unfashionable bugaboos. There actually are some environmental threats, but surely we should be able to tell the real from the unreal. For example, none of the fears I just mentioned are as dangerous as smoking, or human sexual behavior (which is responsible for the spread of AIDS). There is also human political behavior, which has probably caused more harm than all the environmental threats we can imagine.
Be careful what you wish for.
It may not be long before all "Global Warming Deniers" are required to wear such T shirts (perhaps with a catchy gold star) when out in public.
The first director of meteorology at the Weather Channel.
Poor guy, must make him cry to watch it now.
“I am looking out the window at yet another 65 degree August day in the New York Metro Area.”
My wife made me verify this. We went to Weather.com and confirmed your claim. Thanks for speaking up.
It’s too late! All of this propoganda has turned previously rational people into blithering idiots willing to pay for MAN’S mistakes.
This is no time for facts....we're dealing with feeeeeeelings here!!
Very true.
In the 1970s, Russia had thousands of nuclear warheads capable of striking US cities. Liberals saw no threat from the Russian empire. But they found global cooling to be scary.
I think a good definition of wise is knowing what is important. Liberals are foolish, not wise. That is their distinguishing trait.
That's why I get all my weather from WUnderground.com.
It is REALLY nice to see others speaking out about a conclusion many of us reached LONG ago.
The globe has been warming since the last ice age ended and will continue to do so until the next ice age begins.
