Stop denying climate science and ACT! (before people realize it's a scam) "Anyone dissenting from this "call to action" is a climate change "denier"—a pejorative devised to vilify and silence anyone who rejects this agenda, by linking our views to Holocaust denial. What nonsense. ... What we deny are assertions that human carbon dioxide emissions have replaced the myriad of complex, interrelated planetary, solar and cosmic forces that caused previous climate reverberations, and that what we are experiencing now is unprecedented and likely to be catastrophic. Not one of the alarmist claims is supported by actual observations or scientific evidence. Even worse, the claims are getting more ridiculous with every passing day: "children aren't going to know what snow is," crime is rising, oceans won't smell the same, and storms are getting worse—because of global warming." |

Reality intrudes on a hot dream The globe cools, and Al Gore's 'Climate Reality' does, too ... The scorekeepers of global-warming alarmism, the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change, is about to release its fifth Assessment Report, which is said to admit that the planet has been cooling, not warming. A leaked draft version of the report concedes the very inconvenient truth, and casts doubt on the claim that man plays a role in triggering "extreme weather." |

Jeg er blot en simpel lægmand, men hvis de to perioder du beskriver, begge er perioder, hvor det blev koldere, så ville jeg tro, at isudbredelsen voksede i de to perioder. Der er meget stærk evidens for at vi sammen med solens kommende dvale kan forvente MEGET kolde vintre, samt ekspansion af den arktiske havis. Mener du hermed, at du forventer, at de globale temperaturer kommer til at falde betydeligt de kommende år som følge af et muligt fald i solintensiteten? Som jeg har forstået forskningen via IPCC's rapporter, så er forcing fra ændringer i solintensiteten forholdsvis små sammenlignet med forcing fra drivhusgasser: IPCC skriver i AR4: Calculations with three-dimensional models (Wetherald and Manabe, 1975; Cubasch et al., 1997; Lean and Rind, 1998; Tett et al., 1999; Cubasch and Voss, 2000) suggest that the changes in solar radiation could cause surface temperature changes of the order of a few tenths of a degree celsius.

Hvis du mener at IPCC's figur over forcings stadig er retvisende, så har du sandelig en stor mængde nyere litteratur som du skal til at læse igennem om bla. reduceret klimasensitivitet, aerosolmængde samt effekt og som rapporteret andetsteds her på siden: Veretenenko and Ogurtsov, 2013. Stratospheric Polar Vortex as a Possible Reason for Temporal Variations of Solar Activity and Galactic Cosmic Ray Effects on the Lower Atmosphere Circulation. Advances in Space Research (in press). Abstract Possible reasons for a temporal instability of long-term effects of solar activity (SA) and galactic cosmic ray (GCR) variations on the lower atmosphere circulation were studied. It was shown that the detected earlier ~60-year oscillations of the amplitude and sign of SA/GCR effects on the troposphere pressure at high and middle latitudes (Veretenenko and Ogurtsov, Adv.Space Res., 2012) are closely related to the state of a cyclonic vortex forming in the polar stratosphere. The intensity of the vortex was found to reveal a roughly 60-year periodicity affecting the evolution of the large-scale atmospheric circulation and the character of SA/GCR effects. An intensification of both Arctic anticyclones and mid-latitudinal cyclones associated with an increase of GCR fluxes at minima of the 11-year solar cycles is observed in the epochs of a strong polar vortex. In the epochs of a weak polar vortex SA/GCR effects on the development of baric systems at middle and high latitudes were found to change the sign. The results obtained provide evidence that the mechanism of solar activity and cosmic ray influences on the lower atmosphere circulation involves changes in the evolution of the stratospheric polar vortex. Så jo, jeg er fuldstændigt overbevist om at solens faldende aktivitet vil medføre koldere klima og især i Nordeuropa, hvilket er underbygget af en masse peer-reviewet litteratur og simple observationer.

A science-based rebuttal to global warming alarmism Among the key findings of CCR-II are: *Doubling of CO2 from its pre-industrial level would likely cause a warming of only about 1oC, hardly cause for alarm. *The global surface temperature increase since about 1860 corresponds to a recovery from the Little Ice Age, modulated by natural ocean and atmosphere cycles, without need for additional forcing by greenhouse gases. *There is nothing unusual about either the magnitude or rate of the late 20th century warming, when compared with previous natural temperature variations. *The global climate models projected an atmospheric warming of more than 0.3oC over the last 15 years, but instead, flat or cooling temperatures have occurred. The science presented by the CCR-II report directly challenges the conclusions of the IPCC. Extensive peer-reviewed evidence is presented that climate change is natural and man-made influences are small. Fifteen years of flat temperatures show that the climate models are in error. |

Dialing Back the Alarm on Climate Change "A forthcoming report points lowers estimates on global warming Later this month, a long-awaited event that last happened in 2007 will recur. Like a returning comet, it will be taken to portend ominous happenings. I refer to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) "fifth assessment report," part of which will be published on Sept. 27. There have already been leaks from this 31-page document, which summarizes 1,914 pages of scientific discussion, but thanks to a senior climate scientist, I have had a glimpse of the key prediction at the heart of the document. The big news is that, for the first time since these reports started coming out in 1990, the new one dials back the alarm. It states that the temperature rise we can expect as a result of man-made emissions of carbon dioxide is lower than the IPPC thought in 2007." |

The Mail on Sunday has obtained the final draft of a report to be published later this month by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the ultimate watchdog whose massive, six-yearly 'assessments' are accepted by environmentalists, politicians and experts as the gospel of climate science. They are cited worldwide to justify swingeing fossil fuel taxes and subsidies for 'renewable' energy.

Global warming advocates may be more Nostradamus than Galileo Those of us who are skeptical of man-made abrupt climate change are often accused of being hostile towards science. We're told that the facts prove our world is on an unprecedented and nearly irreversible warming trend and mankind is largely responsible. If we don't believe that, they say, then we're basing our skepticism on ideology rather than climatology. The advocates of global warming theories, however, style themselves as unbiased observers who form their beliefs through the scientific method and remain immune from personal perspectives, political influences or simple mistakes. They're the enlightened Galileo, while we're his ignorant and superstitious inquisition. But if their observations change – if the facts change – would these unbiased observers change their theories as well? Here are some recent inconvenient facts for them to consider: Alabama had one of its coolest summers on record, averaging 87.87-degrees during June, July and August. In fact, weather monitors throughout the state didn't record a 100-degree measurement for the third time in the last dozen years, according to data released this month by John Christy, director of the Earth Systems Science Center at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Moreover, six of the state's coolest summers have been within the last 20-years, according to the Office of Alabama Climatology. Worldwide, there was a drop in the average temperatures in the lower stratosphere for 2012, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It reported that last year was "nearly the coldest on record in the lower stratosphere since records began." |

Restoring facts to climate science The U.N. panel has been corrupted by government lucre On Sept. 27, the United Nations will issue its next major climate change report. Last month's leak of a draft indicates that it will be full of warnings of catastrophe to come if we do not quickly change our ways. Here is a sample: "Changes are projected to occur in all regions of the globe, and include changes in land and ocean, in the water cycle, in the cryosphere, in sea level, in some extreme events and in ocean acidification. Many of these changes would persist for centuries. Limiting climate change would require substantial and sustained reductions of [carbon-dioxide] emissions." The report, titled "Working Group I: The Physical Science Basis," is the first volume of a series of documents that will be issued by the U.N. over the next year as part of the Fifth Assessment Report of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). When the panel published previous assessment reports in 1990, 1995, 2001 and 2007, most in media, government and the public regarded their conclusions as irrefutable, the most authoritative, up-to-date word from thousands of scientists in the field. However, things may be very different this time around. Since the last report, the current period of no global warming has extended to 17 years. This has occurred despite the continuing rise in carbon-dioxide levels, something none of the organization's climate models predicted. Other alarming forecasts — increasing tropical cyclones and tornadoes, rapid sea-level rise and sudden ice melt — have not come about. |

But as the campaign gets underway, a new report from the world's leading climate scientists could leave environmentalists on the defensive, and the "deniers" more confident and assertive.

Finally, the IPCC has toned down its climate change alarm. Can rational discussion now begin? Next week, those who made dire predictions of ruinous climate change face their own inconvenient truth. The summary of the fifth assessment report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will be published, showing that global temperatures are refusing to follow the path which was predicted for them by almost all climatic models. Since its first report in 1990, the IPCC has been predicting that global temperatures would be rising at an average of 0.2° Celsius per decade. Now, the IPCC acknowledges that there has been no statistically significant rise at all over the past 16 years. |

Warming Plateau? Climatologists Face Inconvenient Truth Data shows global temperatures aren't rising the way climate scientists have predicted. Now the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change faces a problem: publicize these findings and encourage skeptics -- or hush up the figures. For a quarter of a century now, environmental activists have been issuing predictions in the vein of the Catholic Church, warning people of the coming greenhouse effect armageddon. Environmentalists bleakly predict global warming will usher in plagues of biblical dimensions -- perpetual droughts, deluge-like floods and hurricanes of unprecedented force. The number of people who believe in such a coming apocalypse, however, has considerably decreased. A survey conducted on behalf of SPIEGEL found a dramatic shift in public opinion -- Germans are losing their fear of climate change. While in 2006 a sizeable majority of 62 percent expressed a fear of global warning, that number has now become a minority of just 39 percent. One cause of this shift, presumably, is the fact that global warming seems to be taking a break. The average global temperature hasn't risen in 15 years, a deviation from climatologists' computer-simulated predictions. |
