Global Warming

Climate Realism

1. Is the planet in fact warming?

2. Are human influences an important contributor to warming?

3. Is carbon dioxide a pollutant?

4. Are we seeing a regime of fear for skeptical climate scientists?

5. Are the views of mainstream climate scientists driven primarily by the desire for financial gain?

6. Is it true that more carbon dioxide and additional warming will be beneficial?

“In the summer [of 2010], one weather system caused oppressive heat in Russia… The excessive amount of extreme weather that dominated 2010 is a classic sign of man-made global warming that climate scientists have long warned about.”

“A new [climate research] paper has been published by the Journal of Atmospheric and Solar Terrestrial Physics, authored by [Dr.] Nicola Scafetta [of Duke University, which states the] IPCC GCM’s claim that all warming observed from 1970 to 2000 has been anthropogenically induced is erroneous…’“

[Also, btw, Dr. Giaever is not the only revered scientist to publicly rebuke Barack Obama on CO2-induced AGW]

[Neitherr, btw, is Dr. Giaever the only revered scientist to either publicly rebuke or resign from the APS.]

[Finally, btw, Dr. Giaver is far from the only revered scientist to publicly rebuke the U.N. IPCC for its reports on CO2-induced AGW.]

“What Anthony Watts and Evan Jones have revealed is breathtaking, a must see. Half of the warming trend has gone. 92% of the artificial rise was due to “erroneous adjustments of well sited stations”. Muller et al used an older siting classification system. The new classification system shows that siting does have a major impact on the data.“

Climate change fears ‘have been exaggerated’ and doomsday predictions are overestimates, say scientists

Risk is ‘not imminent’ say scientists

New analysis uses more data stretching back to the Ice Age – and ‘reduces uncertainty’

‘It is not too late to do something’ says expert

Analysis of Ice Age data shows that impact of CO2 is less than first thought

And, regarding the same research Journal article…

“In an article published Thursday by the high-profile publication Science, Simon Donner, Milind Kandlikar and Hisham Zerriffi argue that the world must learn from the waste and misappropriation that has characterized much of the history of foreign aid and apply scientific standards to decision-making about project funding.“

“By now it should be obvious that [1] the enshrined temperature limit of +2 degC [beyond which climate disasters are supposed to set in] is based on fiction and has no scientific basis… [2] It should also be obvious that even strenuous and economy-killing efforts at mitigation will have little effect on atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide, let alone on climate.“
