Re: More Than 650 International Scientists Dissent ...
Part of the problem with the soot theory for global warming is that particulates in the atmosphere raise its albedo, thereby stimulating cooling. This is true regardless of the color of the clouds/smog.
Truth extends beyond the border of self-limiting science. Free discourse among opposing viewpoints draws the open-minded away from the darkness of inevitable bias and nearer to the light of universal reality.

Re: Global Warming does another DOH (8(/)
Can we actually change global warming enough to help the planet? With environmental policies and G8 summits is actually a possibility to change global warming, with the whole in the ozone layer, the rising sea level, metal polar caps, will it be successful? Can we actually change global warming for the better?

Re: Global Warming does another DOH (8(/)
Yes, the climate changes, naturally and cyclically. Climate change is not anthropogenic, and much like 'mainstream' cosmology, AGW is based on un-proven/false assumptions and incomplete data within the computer models.
The sun is likely entering a long, deep quiet period, similar to the maunder or dalton minimums, which lead to short term ice-ages and wrecked society at the time.
If humans are stupid enough to attempt to cool the planet to offset AGW, we would likely just exacerbate and accelerate the rapidly approaching cooling.
Sunspots are still few and far between, and exceptionally weak.
As of
Also, most of the recent sunspots (more like sunspecks) wouldn't have even been seen, thus not counted, over a hundred years ago. I think we're closer to the conditions of the Dalton minimum than we realize.
From an EU perspective, I wonder if the interstellar 'dust cloud' that the solar system is moving through right now might be absorbing, or shunting, some of the current powering the Sun, resulting in such decreased activity.

As of
A new cycle 24 sunspot (sunspeck) group, 1017, that was very weak and faded out 2 days ago, after lasting just 4 or 5 days, was at a noticeably lower latitude than would be typical for a new sunspot cycle, indicating that this cycle 24 is going to be very weak. Significantly weaker than even NASA's latest prediction, IMHO.Spotless Days
Current Stretch: 2 days
2009 total: 116 days (83%)

The Definitive 1.5hr Climate Change Rebuttal
I won't waste your time writing a drawn-out explanation of what I just watched. I will give you the link to the youtube video and a link to the PDF file to follow along with the presentation.
What I will say is that this video and the accompanying presentation slides could set the precendent for all climate change/global warming debate.
Here are the links, enjoy:

Re: The Definitive 1.5hr Climate Change Rebuttal
Thats odd.
I had just watched a YOUTUBE video from prisionplanet, about Al Gore dodging the question about the trial in England and the Al Gore fraud film...and I wondered who had sued him?
Well its your presenter.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UC1HhEgb ... re=related
It all about financial fraud, plain and simple.
Al Gore has become very rich over his fraudulant thesis.
He even opened a new kind of financial institution, that buys and sells carbon tax credits, and opened it in England.
How clever.

Excellent presentation.
I love Monckton's concise style and his subject matter is always thoroughly researched.
Conventional wisdom has ruled all branches of science for way too long.

Re: The Definitive 1.5hr Climate Change Rebuttal
Best 3.5 hours I ever spent.
FALL OF THE REPUBLIC
http://www.spywitnessnews.org/content/f ... rsion-2009
The sad truth from watching the redux videos today and the Republic videos, is that most people still believe the government is for the people, of the people, by the people. Its clear to me that indeed the entire upper levels of government are controlled by forces outside the constitution.
I have been asked before to keep my ideas of a grand conspiracy, out of the forum, but I see no difference between dark matter, dark energy, black holes and gravity only cosmology as full of holes, yet claimed as truth, just as Global Warming and Al Gore run around behind his new bank and his tax credits, along with his Nobel prize.
Follow the money, thats where the power and the corruption lie

Probable total disproof of planetary greenhouse theories
An article of unusual interest has appeared on FR recently with bearing on the question of who between Carl Sagan and Immanuel Velikovsky came closer to having a rational explanation for the 900F surface temperatures found on Venus. Sagan claimed the heat was due to a greenhouse effect while Velikovsky claimed the planet was simply new and hadn't had time to cool.
I am not aware of a third theory for the surface temperature on Venus. If Sagan's theory is actually unworkable, then you'd almost have to assume Velikovsky was correct even if other arguments were lacking.
All of that is aside from the bearing which this article has on the question of man-made global warming of course.....

Century old experiment proves CO2 and IR don't warm atmosphere.

Description of simple experiment that shows CO2 can't cause warming by trapping Infra Red (Credit to mystery blogger)
The claim that carbon dioxide (CO2) can increase air temperatures by "trapping" infrared radiation (IR) ignores the fact that in 1909 physicist R.W. Wood disproved the popular 19th Century thesis that greenhouses stayed warm by trapping IR. Unfortunately, many people who claim to be scientists are unaware of Wood's experiment which was originally published in the Philosophical magazine , 1909, vol 17, p319-320.
Wood was an expert on IR. His accomplishments included inventing both IR and UV (ultraviolet) photography. Wood constructed two identical small greenhouses. The description implies the type of structure a gardener would refer to as a "coldframe" rather than a building a person could walk into. He lined the interior with black cardboard which would absorb radiation and convert it to heat which would heat the air through conduction. The cardboard would also produce radiation. He covered one greenhouse with a sheet of transparent rock salt and the other with a sheet of glass. The glass would block IR and the rock salt would allow it to pass.
During the first run of the experiment the rock salt greenhouse heated faster due to IR from the sun entering it but not the glass greenhouse. He then set up another pane of glass to filter the IR from the sun before the light reached the greenhouses. The result from this run was that the greenhouses both heated to about 50 C with less than a degree difference between the two. Wood didn't indicate which was warmer or whether there was any difference in the thermal conductivity between the glass sheet and the rock salt. A slight difference in the amount of heat transfered through the sheets by conduction could explain such a minor difference in temperature. The two sheets probably didn't conduct heat at the same rate.
The experiment conclusively demonstrates that greenhouses heat up and stay warm by confining heated air rather than by trapping IR. If trapping IR in an enclosed space doesn't cause higher air temperature, then CO2 in the atmosphere cannot cause higher air temperatures. The heated air in the greenhouses couldn't rise higher than the sheets that covered the tops of the greenhouses. Heated air outside is free to rise allowing colder air to fall to the ground. Atmospheric CO2 is even less likely to function as a barrier to IR or reflect it back to reheat the ground or water than the sheet of glass in Wood's greenhouse. The blackened cardboard in Wood's greenhouses was a very good radiator of IR as is typical of black substances. The water that covers 70% of earth's surface is a very poor radiator and produces only limited amounts of IR as is typical of transparent substances. Water releases heat through evaporation rather than radiation. The glass sheet provided a solid barrier to IR.
Atmospheric CO2 is widely dispersed comprising less than 400 parts per million in the atmosphere. Trapping IR with CO2 would be like trying to confine mice with a chain link fence. Glass reflects a wider spectrum of IR than interacts with CO2. The glass sheets reflected IR back toward the floor of the greenhouse. CO2 doesn't reflect IR. At the time of Wood's experiment, it was believed that CO2 and other gas molecules became hotter after absorbing IR. Four years later Niels Bohr reported his discovery that the absorption of specific wavelengths of light didn't cause gas atoms/molecules to become hotter. Instead, the absorption of specific wavelengths of light caused the electrons in an atom/molecule to move to a higher energy state. After absorption of light of a specific wavelength an atom couldn't absorb additional radiation of that wavelength without first emitting light of that wavelength. (Philosophical Magazine Series 6, Volume 26 July 1913, p. 1-25) Unlike the glass which reflects IR back where it comes from, CO2 molecules emit IR up and sideways as well as down. In the time interval between absorbing and reemitting radiation, CO2 molecules allow IR to pass them by. Glass continuously reflects IR.
Those who claim that CO2 molecules in the atmosphere can cause heating by trapping IR have yet to provide any empirical scientific evidence to prove such a physical process exists. The experiment by R.W. Wood demonstrates that even a highly reflective covering cannot cause heating by trapping IR in a confined space. There is no way CO2, which at best only affects a small portion of the IR produced by earth's surface, can heat the atmosphere by trapping IR. Contrary to the lie repeated in news stories about climate, science doesn't say that CO2 is causing higher temperatures by trapping IR. Empirical science indicates that no such process exists in this physical universe.
