No Warming For Two decades - Illiterate Media

Some climate facts:





Fact: Man only emits about 6% of the annual CO2 emissions, the rest is from nature.

Evidence: Add up the numbers on the NASA drawing: http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/CarbonCycle/page1.php They show man emits 4.3% of the annual emissions (man: 9; nature: 210)





Fact: Water vapor causes most of the greenhouse effect

Evidence: “it’s clear that water vapour is the single most important absorber (between 36% and 66% of the greenhouse effect), and together with clouds makes up between 66% and 85%” realclimate.org/index.php?p=142





Fact: CO2 only causes 9- 26% of greenhouse effect.

Evidence: “ CO2 alone makes up between 9 and 26%” realclimate.org/index.php?p=142





Fact: The rate of the current warming is statistically indistinguishable from earlier warm periods.

Evidence: “the warming rates for all 4 periods are similar and not statistically significantly different from each other.” Phil Jones BBC interview, question A, http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/pr/fr/- /2/hi/science/nature/8511670.stm

Evidence: Climate records from ice cores indicate that abrupt, global- scale warming events with amplitudes of up to 10°C ...within as little as 50 years.. (2.0°C per decade of “natural” global warming.) CO2 concentrations remained flat and low...

Fact: In most studies CO2 follows temperature, not leads it (a cause cannot follow the effect)

Evidence: “At least three careful ice core studies have shown that CO2 starts to rise about 800 years (600- 1000 years) after Antarctic temperature during glacial terminations.” realclimate.org/index.php?p=13

(ignore their speculation that further warming “could in fact have been caused by CO2” - it is mere speculation as evidenced by their use of the term “could in fact”.)

More Evidence: Ice cores show CO2 lags temperature

More Evidence: “...most of the temperature trends since at least 1881 can be explained in terms of solar variability, with atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations providing at most a minor contribution. Soon, Connolly, and Connolly





Fact: Man’s CO2 has never been proven to cause dangerous warming.

(If you know of actual proof, don’t tell us- go directly to the Nobel prize committee and apply for your Nobel Prize!)





Fact: The IPCC says the earth may have cooled since 1998 or may have warmed - they don’t know because the amount of warming they claim is less than the uncertainty.

Evidence: “As one example, the rate of warming over the past 15 years (1998- 2012; 0.05 [- 0.05 to 0.15] C per decade), which begins with a strong El Nino, is smaller than the rate calculated since 1951 (1951- 2012; 0.12 [0.08 to 0.14] C per decade). {1.1.1, Box 1.1}“

Fact: A careful study of climate history showed that there is a strong likelihood that the major portion of temperature change in the 20th century was due to natural variations.

Evidence: the Holocene records up to 8000 years before present, from several ice cores were examined. The differences in temperatures between all records which are approximately a century apart were determined, after any trends in the data had been removed. The differences were close to normally distributed. The average standard deviation of temperature was 0.98 ± 0.27 °C. This suggests that while some portion of the temperature change observed in the 20th century was probably caused by greenhouse gases, there is a strong likelihood that the major portion was due to natural variations.

Fact: Cold kills 20 times more people than heat

Evidence: The study — published in the British journal The Lancet — analyzed data on more than 74 million deaths in 13 countries between 1985 and 2012. Of those, 5.4 million deaths were related to cold, while 311,000 were related to heat.
