Water Vapor Is Earth’s Predominant Greenhouse Gas
Man-Made Carbon Dioxide Has Negligible Impact On Earth’s Temperature
The 10,000 symbols represent the proportion of all greenhouse gases in Earth’s  atmosphere.

Weinstein: Disproving The Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) Problem

December 23, 2010

by Leonard Weinstein, ScD, April 25, 2009, Google

A hypothesis has been proposed that human activity over about the last 150 years has caused a significant rise in Earth’s average temperature.

The mechanism claimed is based on an increased greenhouse effect caused by anthropogenic increases in CO2 from burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, cement manufacture, and also from increases in CH4 from farm animals and other causes.

Singer: Nature – not Human Activity – Rules the Climate

November 12, 2010

By S. Fred Singer, University of Virginia and SEPP
(Presented at Erice Conference, Aug 2010)

Summary

Santer and sixteen coauthors [2008; hereafter S08] claim that observed temperature trends (in the tropical troposphere) are “consistent” with trends derived from General Circulation Models (GCM).  This result, if correct, would seem to support the validity of greenhouse (GH) models — and thus the claim of substantial anthropogenic global warming (AGW).

NASA: Thermal expansion of sea water associated with global warming

November 11, 2010

by T.M. L. Wigley*+ & S.C.B. Rapert, NASA

The relationship between greenhouse-gas forcing, global mean temperature change and sea-level rise due to thermal expansion of the oceans is investigated using upwelling-diffusion and pure diffusion models. The sensitivities of sea-level to short-time scale forcing and deep-water formation rate changes are examined.

NASA: Tropical “Hot Towers” And Hurricane Intensification

November 11, 2010

Background (from NASA)

Hurricanes (in the Atlantic) or typhoons (in the Pacific) are Earth’s strongest cyclones.   A tropical storm becomes a hurricane when sustained wind speeds reach 64 knots (74 mph).  Accurate predictions of their tracks and intensities can save lives and minimize property loss.

Bidinotto: Ozone Depletion

November 11, 2010

by Robert J. Bidinotto, 1994, Redbarn

Ozone and Objectivity

Is our stratospheric ozone layer under attack by chlorine coming from man-made CFCs?

Paul Robinson’s posting of March 24 on the subject of ozone depletion and CFCs is correct in its skeptical answer, but very wrong in how he arrives at that answer. I am concerned that, in a hasty effort to repudiate radical environmentalists, too many of “us” (following the lead of the late Dixy Lee Ray, Rush Limbaugh and others) are becoming [...]

The Carbon Cycle and Royal Society Math

November 10, 2010

By Dr. Klaus L.E. Kaiser  Wednesday, October 13, 2010, CFP

The recent “rebellion” by senior members of the Royal Society (RS) forced it to revise their guide “Climate change: a summary of the science”. The new guide, published on 30 September 2010, has a single paragraph under the heading The Carbon Cycle and Climate. In that, it says:

Steward: Earth’s atmosphere needs more carbon dioxide

October 25, 2010

by Leighton Steward

Reprinted from Montana Petroleum Report

SHOCKING? YES! TRUE? ALSO YES!

“But CO2 is a major cause of climate change.” “Yes” say the climate modelers.
“No” say thousands of scientists – and “No” indicates the empirical evidence.

Exercise your objective, unbiased logic, forget that all things humans do is bad for the planet (even though most are), and let’s examine these subjects.
