Temperature and Global Warming

The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) claims to have evidence that paeloclimatic data shows higher levels of CO2 causes an increase in global temperatures. But D.H. Rothman conducted a comprehensive analysis of CO2 in rocks, volcanic and metamorphic degassing, etc over the past 500 million years. Rothman found that “the CO2 history exhibits no systematic correlation” between CO2 and increased temperature. In fact, he found the opposite, that the highest CO2 levels occurred when the earth was relatively cool.

And Rothman made other observations; 1) temperature did not respond at all to the change in CO2, 2) rather when CO2 rises, there is a steady decline in atmospheric temperature, 3) the geologic record “refutes” the CO2 induced global warming hypothesis, 4) the data “argue for a decoupling between global climate and CO2.” 5) The earth’s air temperature always rises well in advance of the increase in atmospheric CO2, 6) there is a 400 to 1000 year lag between rising air temperature and increased CO2 content.

Rothman and a wide assortment of other scientists confirm that “CO2 is not the forcing that initially drives the climatic system.” Somehow the IPCC have fabricated not only the science, but the conclusions regarding the relationship between C02 and global temperature. Al Gore has been lying to us all. The “science” he references is completely false. What is alarming is the Al Gore and IPCC “science” is not just off a bit, but the data and research supports the complete opposite conclusions.

The “hockey stick” graph that Al Gore so famously used in his deceptive movie came from a young Ph.D by the name of Michael Mann, from the University of Massachusetts. And President Clinton jumped on this hockey stick graph as justification the government should intervene to cut carbon emissions. However, two Canadian scientists by the name of Stephen McIntyre and Ross McKitrick requested Mann’s data and research so they could check his work. Mann, knowing he had fabricated the science was reluctant and slow in making his “research” public. Ultimately, the two Canadians obtained the data and the methodology used by Mann. “They found the data did not produce the claimed results due to collation errors, unjustifiable truncation or extrapolation of source data, obsolete data, geographical location errors, incorrect calculation of principal components and other quality control defects.” In other words, Mann is either a very bad scientist or intentionally manipulated the data to show what he wanted it to show. In short, the hockey stick graph is a myth. Sadly, trillions of dollars and years of work have been expended in defending false science.

The Canadians made several other damaging conclusions as well; 1) the warming of the 15th century exceeds any warming in the 20th century, 2) there is nothing unnatural about the planet’s current temperature, and that whatever warming occurred during the twentieth century was likely caused by the recurrence of whatever cyclical phenomena created the greater warmth of the 15th century.”

It is also now an accepted truth among the climate change lemmings that the warming over the latter part of the 20th century is unprecedented. But based upon the synthesis of real world data presented by Fred Singer Ph.D, and Craig Idso Ph.D., D. H. Rothman, and many others, that claim is completely false.
