The Great Global Warming Swindle'
By S. Fred Singer, (Atmospheric Physicist)
March 19, 2007

Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth has met its match: a devastating documentary recently shown on British television, which has now been viewed by millions of people on the Internet. Despite its flamboyant title, The Great Global Warming Swindle is based on sound science and interviews with real climate scientists, including me. An Inconvenient Truth, on the other hand, is mostly an emotional presentation from a single politician.

The scientific arguments presented in The Great Global Warming Swindle can be stated quite briefly:

1. There is no proof that the current warming is caused by the rise of greenhouse gases from human activity. Ice core records from the past 650,000 years show that temperature increases have preceded—not resulted from—increases in CO2 by hundreds of years, suggesting that the warming of the oceans is an important source of the rise in atmospheric CO2. As the dominant greenhouse gas, water vapour is far, far more important than CO2. Dire predictions of future warming are based almost entirely on computer climate models, yet these models do not accurately understand the role or water vapor—and, in any case, water vapor is not within our control. Plus, computer models cannot account for the observed cooling of much of the past century (1940–75), nor for the observed patterns of warming—what we call the “fingerprints.” For example, the Antarctic is cooling while models predict warming. And where the models call for the middle atmosphere to warm faster than the surface, the observations show the exact opposite.

The best evidence supporting natural causes of temperature fluctuations are the changes in cloudiness, which correspond strongly with regular variations in solar activity. The current warming is likely part of a natural cycle of climate warming and cooling that’s been traced back almost a million years. It accounts for the Medieval Warm Period around 1100 A.D., when the Vikings settled Greenland and grew crops, and the Little Ice Age, from about 1400 to 1850 A.D., which brought severe winters and cold summers to Europe, with failed harvests, starvation, disease, and general misery. Attempts have been made to claim that the current warming is “unusual” using spurious analysis of tree rings and other proxy data. Advocates have tried to deny the existence of these historic climate swings and claim that the current warming is "unusual" by using spurious analysis of tree rings and other proxy data, resulting in the famous “hockey–stick” temperature graph. The hockey-stick graph has now been thoroughly discredited.

The second point is just bullshit.


There is no proof that the current warming is caused by the rise of greenhouse gases from human activity. Ice core records from the past 650,000 years show that temperature increases have preceded—not resulted from—increases in CO2 by hundreds of years, suggesting that the warming of the oceans is an important source of the rise in atmospheric CO2.We're not talking about naturale increase of CO2 today. Indeed, global warming in the past was not the result of a sudden increase of CO2. Yet this does not prove CO2 cannot cause global warming.

Let's say CO2 can cause higher temperatures, then it will warm the oceans, which leaves us with more CO2. So, I would like some prove. This is very important because if this really is a swindle, then I must find out.


The best evidence supporting natural causes of temperature fluctuations are the changes in cloudiness, which correspond strongly with regular variations in solar activity. The current warming is likely part of a natural cycle of climate warming and cooling that’s been traced back almost a million years. As long as they do not have prove of what cause these wether effects I do not believe it. Clouds do not change by themselves. Today scientists tned to say the level of CO2 is one cause of this change (CO2 can also help the formation rain drops).

We had a debate on this ages ago. If I wasnt lazy Id post a link to it. For me the bottom line point was this: the key argument relates to the historical record as to which preceded which - increases in greenhouse gases or tempreture rises. What was clear from that debate is that certain statistical adjustments are made to the data to account for various problems with it (details are on links in that thread, mainly posted by Rosa). You can either believe those statistical techniques are justified or that they distort the data.....its a VERY specialised issue to judge that question.

Yet this does not prove CO2 cannot cause global warming.

You cant prove something that doesn't exist. What you can however prove is that Co2 emissions are not responsible for temperature increases.


Let's say CO2 can cause higher temperatures, then it will warm the oceans, which leaves us with more CO2.

We can "say" anything we want.

And that's exactly what these crack pots have been doing for a couple decades now; without any evidence!


So, I would like some prove. This is very important because if this really is a swindle, then I must find out.

I'm not stopping you from doing some research. This is the internet you know.


As long as they do not have prove of what cause these wether effects I do not believe it.

Because you're much more qualified about atmospheric conditions then the Atmospheric Physicist who wrote the article, right?

Get on track bubby, even the liberals are shying away from the big-bad Co2. I think methane will possibly be the new age doomsday device that will have you cats running for hills again.

False conclusion on my personality.

Indeed, therem ight be no real evidence on the statement that CO2 is the cause of global warming.

Yet, neither this Atmospheric Physicist who created the article proves his statements.

I know of the "little ice age", I know of the steady rise of temperatures preceding this little ice ages. Hell, I cannot believe that the monks back then were able to succesfully grow grapes on the hill were I live today. But this does not persuade me.

Global warming could be used to fill the pockets of some liberals who say they have a plan to stop all this. Yet if this global warming is not cause by CO2, capitalists will still try to make profit by exploiting the situation.

11 of the hottest years on record have occured in the last 12 years . Global warming IS man made or at least man influenced . Its true about the natural cycle but we have caused this cycle to speed up by tenfold .

"Some experts point out that natural cycles in Earth's orbit can alter the planet's exposure to sunlight, which may explain the current trend. Earth has indeed experienced warming and cooling cycles roughly every hundred thousand years due to these orbital shifts, but such changes have occurred over the span of several centuries. Today's changes have taken place over the past hundred years or less."

Also if global warming was taken seriously by capitalism businesses would suffer as due to restrictions so why would capitalists encourage this idea ?


Capitalism is the cause of global warming and as i see it it can't be "stopped" but capitalism can't adapt to global warming . Socialism or Communism can . Which only pushes for leftism.

Capitalism actively fights out against alternatives like the electric car .They want to punish the people for problems their fucked up system made . Bin taxes etc


Point is that global warming isn't something capitalists made up , its happening and the only alternative to this enable serious problem is socialism .

Take a look at the graph at the bottom of the OP, in specific the part relating to an alleged correlation between solar activity and earth temperature.

http://www.junkscience.com/images/robinson.gif

It follows pretty closely - but only goes to 1970.

This is why (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goDsc9IaSQ8&mode=related&search=)

As you can see the temperature has risen much more rapidly in the last 20 years, while sunspot activity decreases over the same period.

I must admit, this is an impressive critique considering that it comes from a 19-year old political science student writing on a conspiracy hotbed blog. But unfortunately, the fallcies of his claims are well documented, just look at the llinks I posted.


http://www.free-eco.org/articleDisplay.php?id=294

Another impressive critique coming from an institution of libertarian economists concerned with balancing environmental solutions against the demands of the free market. Their claims too are meritless.

This comes from a right-wing blog. In any case, its claims have little/nothing to do with the matter at hand.

You can presume whatever you want, that doesn't make it fact.

The originators of the Global Warming myth were not affiliated with any political platform at all.

Once it showed their data was over 300 percent off (a decade later) , it was far to late to "back out" There were too many lobbyists giving their full support and full pockets to existing campaigns and business ventures.

Everybody had already assumed the results were going to turn out favourably; they were wrong.

What these posters here fail to realise is that the data compiled by some of these source s are merely doing that: compiling the data. They did not fund the research, perform the research, or do anything else to "enhance" the data.

They simply gathered it.

Period.

Whining about the sources merely shows us all what they have in their arsenal: Nothing.

I don't know about you, but I tend to think the "junk science disciples" are the ones who prefer the word of right-wing ideologues and pseudoscientists over the word of the climatology experts who have actually done work in that field. They have no more case than the woo-woos who believe that Oswald didn't kill Kennedy and the moon landing was faked, to use your examples.

Come up with some actual SCIENTIFIC opinion, from experts with credentials on the subject that says global warming is not man-made, that has not already been extensively refuted (like your foul-mouthed atmospheric physicist) and we'll have something to discuss. Until then, I'll leave you alone with your conspiracy theories. To discredit near-unanimous scientific opinion, you'll have to do more than call it "crap" and start with the ad hominem attacks.

You know this something I&#39;ve always found odd about the whole idea of the "capitalist global warming conspiracy", the fact that capitalists would lose a tremendous amount of money by trying to switch to alternatives. Oil for example would be extremely costly to switch from, not just because it&#39;s fuel, but the amount of industries that are dependent on oil byproducts is immense. All your chemicals, plastics etc. require oil to be produced, we are talking about hundreds of billions of dollars that would be lost by switching to some alternative. So why the hell would the capitalists do something that is essentially like shooting themselves in the foot for nothing?

You do not need a conspiracy to switch to alternatives. When start develloping alternatives you only need commercials to make people switch to the alternative energy.

I never said "In the name of Allah". it was in the name of anti-Israeli imperialism. My logic was that since other such revolutionary/independence groups such as the ANC and Shining Path had largely chosen civilian targets, I didn&#39;t see why these groups couldn&#39;t either. You&#39;re assuming because I&#39;m a Muslim, that means I think suicide bombing is a religiously-sound way to get into the Muslim concept of heaven (In before "Heaven doesn&#39;t exist lol") or that it&#39;s a very Muslim thing to do (In before "Yes it is"), which in my opinion it isn&#39;t. And I revised that position, as I realized as Malte pointed out, it does divide the working class when there should be solidarity.

But that isn&#39;t the point of this thread. You like using ad hominem attacks to prove your point.

You wont get more support when you also have to deal with a certain problem. When people are hit worse they will actually turn against those who also lost some of their fortune, but have more than enough left to survive.
Only when the bourgeoisie pays for most damage caused by a certain castrophy you can aspect the workers to support the bourgeoisie. But when will the bourgeoisie do this? Only if it is in their intrest.

Next arguement please.

You say you cannot trust both the media and the scientists as this is a capitalist system and both institutions are funded by the bourgeoisie.

in early medieval times there are records showing that there were vineyards in yorkshire and the baltic&#33; because the conditions were so warm that it was possible for this. of course the little ice ages came which ended this practise but the little ice ages ended in 1850 and its only since the 90,s i think that new vineyards have appeared again in yorkshire. though we have had 150 years to warm up.

I agree. A single swallow does not a spring make. I respect the earnestness of the critiques, but the fact is you&#39;ll always find someone of some moderate repute to criticize a theory.

On some level, though, you do have to address the question of why their views aren&#39;t much, much more widely shared. And it isn&#39;t always because they are grand visionaries ahead of their time.

MarxSchmarx
3rd September 2007, 11:03
The problem with the critics of global warming is that they&#39;re yet to come up with plausible alternative models for what&#39;s going on. Given that most critics concede global warming IS going on, they are charged with coming up with an alternative explanation to anthropogenic change, rather than solely quibbling with the mainstream models that routinely pass peer-review.

This is why (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goDsc9IaSQ8&mode=related&search=)

As you can see the temperature has risen much more rapidly in the last 20 years, while sunspot activity decreases over the same period.

If you make research i will bet that sunspots, no matter of decreasing, do this changes.
You pay attetion to me on them so just make better research and you will find something i will bet on that.Becouse scientist doesnt know the real influence sunspots do on earth,right?During this summer my friend told me (and he is not scientist) "aaah this solar winds are so hot",and he says that just like everyone else when talk about weather,but for me was relevation,yes how did i not think about this before,it is the sun i have hard fealing that is the sunspots who make those changes.Guys just make research on sunspots and i can bet on that that you will find something.Those so called scientist are not shure at all about what happening.

You pay attetion to me on them so just make better research and you will find something i will bet on that.Becouse scientist doesnt know the real influence sunspots do on earth,right?During this summer my friend told me (and he is not scientist) "aaah this solar winds are so hot",and he says that just like everyone else when talk about weather,but for me was relevation,yes how did i not think about this before,it is the sun i have hard fealing that is the sunspots who make those changes.Guys just make research on sunspots and i can bet on that that you will find something.Those so called scientist are not shure at all about what happening.
I believe in you guys. [/b]
Sun spots have an effect on global temperature changes, but there is no direct evidence of any connection with global warming itself.
