New Evidence Discredits Global
Warming Dogma

On national radio in Australia, Jennifer Marohasy, a biologist
and senior fellow of Melbourne-based think tank the Institute
of Public Affairs, dropped a bombshell on those who support global
warming: While carbon dioxide levels have risen for the last 10
years, the Earth has cooled, and the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change knows it. Marohasy said,
The head of the ipcc (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)
has actually acknowledged it [that the Earth has cooled since
1998]. He talks about the apparent plateau in temperatures so
far this century. So he recognizes that in this century, over
the past eight years, temperatures have plateaued. … This
is not what you’d expect, as I said, because if carbon
dioxide is driving temperature then you’d expect that,
given carbon dioxide levels have been continuing to increase,
temperatures should be going up.
According to Marohasy, the head of the ipcc has suggested natural
factors, such as solar activity, are countering global warming.
These are the same factors that global warming proponents deride
when skeptics suggest that they may be the deciding factors in
global warming rather than carbon dioxide. The new discussion
is a result of data gathered from nasa’s Aqua satellite
launched in 2002:
What all the climate models suggest is that, when you’ve
got warming from additional carbon dioxide, this will result
in increased water vapor, so you’re going to get a positive
feedback. That’s what the models have been indicating.
What this great data from the nasa Aqua satellite … (is)
actually showing is just the opposite, that with a little bit
of warming, weather processes are compensating, so they’re
actually limiting the greenhouse effect and you’re getting
a negative rather than a positive feedback.

Marohasy thinks the entire global warming paradigm will collapse
as a result of this bombshell. But we wouldn’t count on
it. Science has worked against the global warming community for
years now without result. Here is one example of why: In “Junk
Science: The Global Warming Bubble,” Steven Milloy writes
about a conference hosted by the Wall Street Journal and largely
comprised of global warming advocates.
In the interlude between presentations by the ceos of Dow Chemical
and Duke Energy, for example, the audience was shown a slide
… of the diverging relationship between atmospheric co²
levels and average global temperature since 1998.
That slide should have caused jaws to drop and audience members
to ponder why anyone is considering regulating co² emissions
in hopes of taming global climate. Instead, it was as if the
audience did a collective blink and missed the slide entirely.
When I tried to draw attention to the slide during my presentation,
it was as if I were speaking in a foreign dialect.
The only conclusion I could come to was that the audience is
so steeped in anticipation of climate profiteering that there
is no fact that will cause them to reconsider whether or not
manmade global warming is a reality.
He also observed a poll at the conference where attendees were
asked to select society’s most pressing problem from a list
of five including infectious disease, terrorism and global warming.
Infectious disease, which kills millions and infects billions
every year, received 3 percent of the vote. Global warming won
out with a solid 31 percent.
It doesn’t look like the bubble will burst any time soon.
