Anyone who would argue that climate change does not exist would be foolish. One only has to open the door and walk outside on a daily basis to see, feel, and hear the differences of the climate over time. Now to the claim that mankind is changing the climate is a far different beast. At the root of this claim is that the average temperature for present years are hotter than the average temperature of past years and that manmade CO2 was the cause of this recent trend.
First and foremost in making decisions on things, is to know and seek the truth. What we do know about the leaders of the global warming theory, is, in their own words from the emails they wrote, that data was manipulated ( http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1254660/Climategate-professor-Phil-Jones-admits-sending-pretty-awful-emails.html , http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/climategate-three-of-the-four-temperature-datasets-now-irrevocably-tainted/ ). They stated and did destroy and hide their formulas along with base data, and to ignore dissenters theory’s and demonize their persons. The purposeful lie of the Himalayan glaciers melting by 2035, in the 2007 IPCC report ( http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/environment/climatechange/7236011/UN-global-warming-data-skewed-by-heat-from-planes-and-buildings.html ), NASA data was inferior to CRU (IPCC) data and tainted with samples of CRU data ( http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/climategate-stunner-nasa-heads-knew-nasa-data-was-poor-then-used-data-from-cru/?singlepage=true ). We also know there are billions of dollars spent and pending to scientist forwarding this façade. The other concern is with the governments that appear to blindly support this theory, such as some in our government. They want to push forward regulations, which will affect many aspects of our lives, through home energy consumption, temperature we keep our homes at, fuel to fill our cars and indirectly will affect the price of everything we use and consume. This, in itself, will bring Draconian rules.
Next thing that helps draw a picture is the name of the claim itself. Climate Change, but why was the name changed from Global Warming and for those whom have been around since the 70’s or have researched the issue, you may remember “Global Cooling”. The answer is obvious. The patterns of the earth’s temperature change, but are cyclical and a claim in a specific direction is only good for so long. So, with an ambiguous claim, such as we are hearing now of climate change, no specific claim can be nailed down. Also pre-industrial age history, shows both major warming and cooling periods. This, of course. is totally contrary to man made global warming theory, because the whole premise is man’s production of CO2, via modern technology is the root of the claim. There are two major and disreputable events written into the history books, which are in the 1200’s Medieval warming, when grapes were growing in England and the 1400’s, Little Ice Age( http://www.theresilientearth.com/?q=content/medieval-warm-period-rediscovered ). There are several other examples and much information for anyone to investigate. The truth is out there.
Why have the leaders of the global warming claim blinded themselves from the main possible cause of global warming? Yes, the heat producing body at the center of our solar system, the Sun. Without the sun there would be NO warming. True? Yet, none of the leaders of global warming wish to open their eyes to this basic scientific fact, we all can agree on. There are studies and evidence, which directly correlates to the sunspot activity, which is directly proportional to the solar winds, which inversely affect the cloud formations, by deflecting cosmic rays from the earth. Cosmic rays are required for the formation of clouds. The more clouds there are, the more sun(heat) energy is reflected back into space and the cooler the Earth becomes. In short, heavy sun spot activity increases solar wind, which decrease cloud production, reflecting less heat back into space and warming the earth up (http://climate-change.suite101.com/article.cfm/sunspots_and_climate_change ). Unless you have personally researched this, you may have never heard of it. This is because it does not fit the model and scientific method is not the true goal of the global warming leaders.
The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is .038% and in a recent Science Daily report, the premise of an increase in CO2 over the last 150 years is in itself false ( http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/12/091230184221.htm ). Also, related to this fact, is the added knowledge that natural causes of CO2, such as Volcanoes, animals, bacteria, dying vegetation, and oceans produce 96.8% of all CO2 in the atmosphere. Humans production of CO2, via modern technology is 3.2%. Water vapor, which is much more efficient global warming gas, makes up .87% of the atmosphere or 23 times all CO2 levels ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBO2IstMi2A , http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/greenhouse_data.html ). Thus clouds and water have a much larger effect than CO2 and is why sun spot activity bears much more weight.
In a recent article, “Yep, global warming is real”, the writer pointed to several repots from American Meteorological Society, National Geographic Society, National Academies of Sciences, and NASA, But, he did not mention all these reports are based on the false information from the IPCC and NASA scandals. True scientific method is to make a theory, gather data to support and test the theory, have others challenge the theory and fine tune the errors into the final synapses. The real tragedy is this process was not followed and now the scientific community has a large black mark, which will take a lot of effort to correct and regain the trust of others.
Yes, seek the truth. As with all things in life, the truth shall set you free, but lies can build chains that bind. If you know you are being lied to and believe in the known lie, does that speak to a false faith? Continue to educate yourselves, challenge and discuss “facts”, because they are not always what they seem. In our day and age, finding and discerning the truth from fiction is extremely complicated, but it is our responsibility to do what we can to seek and find the truth.
