'GLOBAL WARMING': AN OFFICIAL PSEUDOSCIENCE
by Paulo
Correa, MSc, PhD & Alexandra Correa (HBA)
From 'What's new' at
Aetherometry:
"Recent years have witnessed a series of fear-mongering
alarmist fads in pseudo-scientific meteorology and climatology, each promoted
in succession by news media and mainstream science publications.
Perhaps the most expensive example of these mass-hysterias is
the pseudoscientific fad of 'global warming'.
'GLOBAL WARMING': AN OFFICIAL PSEUDOSCIENCE - is an examination of the science behind the ideology of 'global warming', as well as the social and political forces driving its promotion.
Few scientists would dispute the fact that climate is changing on a planetarian scale, and there are good reasons to believe that some of the changing features are not part of a natural variation, but consequences of man-made pollution. What every good scientist will dispute, however, is whether this observed and ongoing change is, as the promoters of the 'global warming' myth dogmatically assert, an upward change in the atmosphere's mean global temperature - and whether the mechanism responsible for it is CO2 emission from fossil fuel combustion. Present-day climatology is vulnerable to these kinds of faddist dogmas - pushed forward as part of a political and media-driven agenda - because it lacks a functional, comprehensive, systematic and interconnected understanding of the nonlinear system formed by the atmosphere, the oceans, the land mass and the biosphere, and their interaction with solar radiation. The discoveries and methods of Aetherometry provide inroads towards developing such an understanding, beginning with a new understanding of the role of the Sun and solar radiation in modulating weather patterns over short and long-term scales.

Obviously, it would be a much warmer place. But what's interesting is how much warmer, says Stephen Vavrus, an associate scientist at the Center for Climatic Research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

ANCIENT SEDIMENTS SHOW INFLUENCE OF SOUTHERN OCEAN CIRCULATION ON CLIMATE, December 05 About 34 million years ago, the Earth's climate transitioned from a "greenhouse climate" to the "icehouse climate" of today, forming a massive ice sheet on the Antarctic continent. A new study by Linda Anderson, an ocean sciences researcher at the University of California, Santa Cruz, suggests that oceanographic features in the Southern Ocean--the intensity of current flow and the amount of stratification (the formation of distinct layers at different depths)--may have played a key role in the transition.

SIMULATIONS SHED LIGHT ON EARTH'S HISTORY OF MAGNETIC FIELD REVERSALS, December 05 A new analysis of computer simulations of Earth's magnetic field suggests that its behavior was different early in Earth's history, resulting in greater stability and fewer reversals of the magnetic field. The findings by researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, are helping to reconcile the geologic record of magnetic field reversals with the current understanding of how the Earth's core generates the planet's magnetic field.

CLIMATE MODELS NEED DEEPER ROOTS, SCIENTISTS SAY, December 05 By soaking up moisture with their roots and later releasing it from their leaves, plants play an active role in regulating the climate. In fact, in vegetated ecosystems, plants are the primary channels that connect the soil to the atmosphere, with plant roots controlling the below-ground dynamics.

STUDY: ARCTIC SOIL CARBON UNDERESTIMATED, December 06 University of Washington researchers say scientists studying climate warming might be underestimating the amount of soil carbon in the high Arctic. Full story at http://www.physorg.com/news8766.html
STUDY: TEMPERATE FORESTS COULD WORSEN GLOBAL WARMING, December 05 Growing a forest might sound like a good idea to combat global warming, since trees draw carbon dioxide from the air and release cool water from their leaves. But they also absorb sunlight, warming the air in the process. According to a new study from the Carnegie Institution's Department of Global Ecology and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, planting forests at certain latitudes could make the Earth warmer.

Look at the graph near the end of this article comparing historical CO2 levels with global average temperature. Not only is there very little correlation, but current CO2 levels are near the lowest in the entire history of the planet.

Thanks to the Correas for pointing out a few of the many points of scientific fraud that comprise the global warming "science".

Weather Engineering: An arrogant usurpation.... (Score: 1) by TechStuf on Thursday, December 08, 2005 @ 22:32:50 UTC (User Info | Send a Message) | The effects of heightened solar radiation as the principle driver of increased temperatures around the world will be effectively undeniable by the end of 2006. Just as the efforts to deflect a portion of it by tracking the sun across the sky from sun up to sun down with aerial spraying efforts, a multi billion dollar worldwide effort that will ultimately prove futile and shown to have caused more harm than good....by the dramatic exhibition of what can occur when unknown unknowns synergetically intersect. |

This is a website about getting rid of our addiction to the black
crack, right? Let them regulate emissions. Might give the US auto
makers a good swift kick in the hiney to produce non polluting cars.

Re: GLOBAL WARMING: AN OFFICIAL PSEUDOSCIENCE (Score: 1) by Draper on Thursday, February 09, 2006 @ 08:14:44 UTC (User Info | Send a Message) | Have you heard about the Canadian debate over Arctic sovereignty?
The northern ice caps have melted to the point of it being feasible to ship goods across the north pole to russia and europe. Canada is claiming sovereignty over the territory. The EU/US is screaming international waters.
Global warming is a reality. What caused it is irrelevant. How do we compensate for global climate change is the only question left. The fact is if every CO2 producing device were cut off RIGHT NOW, we probably would still be screwed given that it takes most vapors 20 years to reach the ozone layer, and that's IF our pollution is the primary cause of global warming. If this is a cyclical phenomena, which is what most evidence points to (on a strictly apolitical and scientific basis) it doesn't matter because so little is truly known about the way the earth works people will make political/financial moves to further their cause and they will get away with it.
Frankly I don't care how the climate got screwed up. I just know that it is. And it's happening faster than scientists thought it would. Last year the earth's temperature warmed an entire degree.
A book I suggest you read in addition to this material is State of Fear by Michael Crichton. Yes this book is purely fictional, but the science in it was thoroughly researched.
Hail to logic! |
