Numbers don't lie. This is a man made problem, unless of course you'd like to deny the industrial revolution started around the time CO2 levels spiked.
Where's the proof that CO2 levels are NOT rising. Where's the proof that CO2 levels are NOT correlary to temperature.
HERE IS THE PROOF:
There is no correlation between CO2 levels and global warming; it is not a driver.
Insert quarter and try again.
[ Professor Tim Ball, Department of Climatology, University of Winnipeg ] The analogy I use
is like my car's not running very well, so I'm going to ignore the engine, which is the Sun, and
I'm going to ignore the transmission which is the water vapour, and I'm going to look at one
nut on the right rear wheel which is the human-produced CO2.
The science is that bad.
[ Professor Nir Shaviv ] There were periods for example in Earth's history when we had three
times as much CO2 as we have today, or periods when we had ten times as much CO2 as we
have today.
And if CO2 has a large effect on climate then you should see it in the temperature
reconstruction.
[ Professor Ian Clark, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Ottawa ] If we look at
climate through the geological timeframe,
we would never suspect CO2 as a major climate
driver.
[ Professor Syun-Ichi Akasofu, Director, International Arctic Research Centre ] CO2 began
[to] increase exponentially in about 1940, but the temperature actually began to decrease
1940, continued till about 1975. So this is the opposite to the ration [reason].
When the CO2 increasing rapidly but yet the temperature decreasing we cannot say that CO2 and the
temperature go together.
Al Gore says the relationship between temperature and CO2 is complicated, but he doesn't say
what those complications are.
But what Al Gore doesn't say is that the link is the wrong way
round.
[ Professor Ian Clark ] So here we are looking at the Ice Core record from Vostok. And in the
red we see temperature going up from early time to later time at a very key interval when we
came out of a glaciation, and we see the temperature going up, and then we see the CO2
coming up.
CO2 lags behind that increase. It's got an 800-year lag. So temperature is leading
CO2 by 800 years.
[ Professor Frederick Singer ] So obviously Carbon Dioxide is not the cause of that warming.
In fact we can say that the warming produced the increase in Carbon Dioxide.
[ Professor Timothy Ball ] The Ice Core record goes to the very heart of the problem we have
here. They said if the CO2 increases in the atmosphere as a Greenhouse Gas then the
temperature will go up.
But the Ice Core record shows exactly the opposite. So the
fundamental assumption, the most fundamental assumption of the whole theory of Climate
Change due to humans, is shown to be wrong.
[ Professor Carl Wunsch, Department of Oceanography, Massachusetts Institute of
Technology ] The ocean is the major reservoir into which Carbon Dioxide goes when it comes
out of the atmosphere or where it is readmitted to the atmosphere. If you heat the surface of
the ocean it tends to emit Carbon Dioxide. Similarly if you cool the ocean surface, the ocean
can dissolve more Carbon Dioxide. The ocean has a memory of past events, running out as far
as 10,000 years. So for example if somebody says, "Oh, I'm seeing changes in the North
Atlantic - this must mean that the climate system is changing",
it may only mean that
something happened in a remote part of the ocean decades or hundreds of years ago, whose
effects are now beginning to show up in the North Atlantic.
In 1893 the British astronomer Edward Maunder observed that during the Little Ice Age there
were barely any spots visible on the Sun. A period of solar inactivity which became known as
the Maunder Minimum. But how reliable are sunspots as an indicator of the weather ? (hint... damn near perfect)
