The Global Warming Hoax: More BS From The Global Warming Nuts!

 

Man made Global Warming is a fraud, period.  Sorry to burst your bubble, you Global Warming believers, but you have been had by criminals who are in it for the money!   There is absolutely no such thing as man made Global Warming on this planet, and in fact we are about to enter a long term of Global COOLING due to the natural cycles of our Sun's radiation output.

But give the Global Warming believers some credit for their audacity.  Here is a prime example, from a new article from the UK at www.dailymail.co.uk, where the Global Warming so called "scientists" are now pushing the asinine notion that increased solar output actually causes Global Cooling!  Here is that article for everyone to see for themselves:


Global warming theory in chaos after report finds increased solar activity may COOL the Earth
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
Last updated at 12:53 PM on 7th October 2010




A puzzling discovery has raised a question mark over the Sun's impact on climate change and could provide ammunition for sceptics, it was revealed today.


Until now it has been assumed that less activity from the Sun equates to less warming of the Earth.


But the new research, which focuses on a three-year snapshot of time between 2004 and 2007, suggests the opposite may be true.


As solar activity waned at the end of one of the Sun's 11-year cycles, the new data show the amount of energy reaching the Earth at visible wavelengths rose rather than fell.

Scientists believe it may also be possible that during the next up-turn of the cycle, when sun activity increases, there might be a cooling effect at the Earth's surface.


A further twist arises from the fact that over the past century, overall solar activity has been increasing.


If the new findings apply to long as well as short time periods, this could translate into a small degree of cooling rather than the slight warming effect shown in existing climate models. It would effectively turn received wisdom on its head.


Sceptics are likely to say the results further undermine the reliability of climate change science, especially with regard to  solar effects.


Professor Joanna Haigh, from Imperial College London, who led the study, said: 'These results are challenging what we thought we knew about the Sun's effect on our climate. 


However, they only show us a snapshot of the Sun's activity and its behaviour over the three years of our study could be an anomaly.


'We cannot jump to any conclusions based on what we have found during this comparatively short period and we need to carry out further studies to explore the sun's activity and the patterns that we have uncovered on longer timescales.

'However, if further studies find the same pattern over a longer period of time, this could suggest that we may have overestimated the sun's role in warming the planet, rather than underestimating it.'


Speaking at a news briefing in London, she denied that it would fuel scepticism about climate change research.


'I think it doesn't give comfort to the climate sceptics at all,' she said. 


'It may suggest that we don't know that much about the Sun. It casts no aspersions at all upon the climate models.'


The research, published in the journal Nature, is based on data from a satellite called SORCE (Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment) that has been measuring the Sun's energy output at X-ray, ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared wavelengths.


Prof Haigh's team found that, above an altitude of 28 miles, concentrations of ozone in the atmosphere increased as total solar output decreased.

How Surface and satellite temperatures have varied over the past 35 years


The ozone rise accompanied a steep fall in levels of ultraviolet radiation.


Closer to the ground, an increase in visible radiation caused heating of the lower atmosphere.


'At face value, the data seem incredibly important,' Michael Lockwood, a space physicist at the University of Reading, told Nature.com
'If solar activity is out of phase with solar radiative forcing, it could change our understanding of how processes in the troposphere and stratosphere act to modulate Earth's climate.'


'The findings could prove very significant when it comes to understanding, and quantifying, natural climate fluctuations,' he added.
 
'But no matter how you look at it, the Sun's influence on current climate change is at best a small natural add-on to man-made greenhouse warming.'


'All the evidence is that the vast majority of warming is anthropogenic. It might be that the solar part isn't quite working the way we thought it would, but it is certainly not a seismic rupture of the science.'

NTS Notes:  I have presented the entire Daily Mail article without any editing of their phony charts.   These charts have been their basis of "proof" of Global Warming, but have already proven to be totally false because the Global Warming pushers have been caught hiding the real decline in temperatures on this planet for the last 25+ years or more.    

There is one possible explanation as to why they are pushing this insane notion now.... Because the Sun's solar output is actually DECREASING and not increasing as they falsely present.   By actually getting suckers to believe the notion presenting that solar output increase cools the planet, they can go on now and say that because Solar output is actually decreasing, the planet is warming!!!!  

Bottom line, readers... These criminals do not even know which way is up anymore.  They are showing desperation by presenting this insane finding and presenting it as "science".    The fact is that they will try anything now to continue to get people to follow the Global Warming scheme.    But that desperation is falling on deaf ears now, because people are no longer gullible and are rapidly turning against these criminals.

Global Warming is a lie, period.... Time to live with the truth, you die hard believers, that you have been played as suckers!   Maybe it is time for all of us to push for the arrest of the criminals involved in this sick game and stop this con once and for all.

More to come

I don't wish to be argumentative ,but I disagree with the Islamic belief that I should be killed! " If radical atheists decided they needed to kill believers to ensure their place in nothingness, I'd be criticizing that too."

I don't think so...

It's not something I've studied, so I just don't know enough to have an informed opinion. But, so far as I can tell, the evidence seems to contradict it. And having lived most of my life in California, I really despise the tree hugging environmentalists who seem to be more than willing to say or do anything to force people to live the way they want them to. Well, I don't want to live that way, so screw you.

Global warming?  Or is the sky falling, Chicken Little and Turkey Lurkey?

Universities turn out the shabbiest con artists and liars that ever made tons of money selling hoaxes.  Global warming is just another leftist hoax, which proves that only a fool will buy leftist lies.

If these people had a theory, then they would know what to do about it, which proves that "global Warming" is just another hoax like the Piltdown Man.

Lord, leftist hoaxes make money though.  That is why only leftists are stupid enough to buy into them.

Actually, the earth's climate has been slowly (very slowly) warming since the Last Glacial Maximum, which was about 22,000 years ago., so, yes, there is some global warming taking place. But (a) it is a natural cyclic event; and (b) it obviously is not caused by human activity. But during these 22,000 years (as well as over the millenia that preceeded them) the climate experiences shorter cycles of both warming and cooling, again, cycles that have no connection with human activity. When Greenland was settled by Norsemen about a thousand years ago, it was given its name because the climate of at least the southern portion was temperate, and well suited to agriculture. The climate cooled in the ensuing years, and today there is little "green" growing on Greenleand. Not sure how old you are that you might know this, but in the early 1970s a number of scientists reported that the earth was heading into a new ice age and within 10 years there would be global famine due to crop failures from the cold. 

Many climate scientists (scientists that do not believe that human activity is the cause of the earth's changing climate) today are saying that the earth's climate is now in a cooling phase, and will probably be there for the next 25 or 30 years.

If you would look at the context of Rick Santorum's comments, you would understand that he was referring to the claims that human activity is the cause of the warming of our climate (warming that will continue and cause great desstruction unless the governemt greatly increases its regulation of human activity), not denying that any global warming has occurred.

 

"Global warming" is probably happening due to natural causes and not man made gases.

Unfortunately this lie is being used by governments to take ever more control of the people. It's all about power and money.

Love one another.

I have a lot of difficulty accepting "college" theories because they are always wrong.

I have been reading scientific data on this for almost 40 years and watching the fulfillment of predictions by scientistist from the late 1950s and 60s.  Based on nothing more than ice cores from the polar caps with entrained atmospheric gas and on temperature records for the major oceans and seas, I believe it is real.  It is not as the media often presents it, but it is no less real.  I am not in a position to gain anything, especially not money, from this informed belief.  I have also attended atmospheric and climate conferences over the past 15 years that confirm what people in the early 1970 were saying and make even more dire predictions based on historical records of flurocarbon emissions over the past 50 years.  Some even predict that we have passed the "point of no return" on restorative efforts for the atmosphere and water tables at least in regard to primary life forms and systems as we currently know them. I tend to be more optimistic about the earth's ability to heal itself, but that process may not involve the current numbers of humans and other higher life forms (plant and animal) as we currently observe them existing.  In terms of dominant life forms on this planet, humans are fragile and short lived compared to previous dominant life forms now extinct.  There is no law or principle that says humans cannot bring about their own extinction through self poisoning of the enviroment...other than mankind's ethnocentric egotism...which in my opinion is our main problem...added to by the negative aspects of unjustified pride and greed. Pride and greed go hand-in-hand producing destructive behavior.  Choose to make it a great day!      

Choose to make it a great day, my new Friend!
