Global Warming Conclusively Debunked As Gore Calls For CO2 Tax
The seven graphs that dispel alarmist claims about climate change

The world is cooling, sea levels are falling, ice is spreading, there are fewer extreme weather events, and it was hotter 1000 years ago, yet the myth of global warming is providing governments the excuse to micromanage every aspect of our lives, with Al Gore now openly calling for a carbon tax on the energy we use.
Following the end of the Sun’s most active period in over 11,000 years, the last 10 years have displayed a clear cooling trend as temperatures post-1998 leveled out and are now plummeting.
But such figures won’t deter the agenda of control freaks like Al Gore, who last night publicly called for a carbon tax to be imposed on the use of fossil fuels at a time when even middle class families are struggling to pay the bills as a result of a crippled economy, soaring oil prices and inflation.

Andrew Bolt of the Australian Sun-Herald has put together a series of graphs based on numbers from a plethora of scientific bodies to prove that the most alarmist claims about climate change are not only unproven, but in fact the complete opposite of what man-made global warming advocates proclaim is now being observed.
“That’s why 31,000 other scientists, including world figures such as physicist Prof Freeman Dyson, atmospheric physicist Prof Richard Lindzen and climate scientist Prof Fred Singer, issued a joint letter last month warning governments not to jump on board the global warming bandwagon,” writes Bolt.
“There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the earth’s climate.”
That’s why Ivar Glaever, who won a Nobel Prize for Physics, this month declared “I am a sceptic”, because “we don’t really know what the actual effect on the climate is”.
And it’s why the American Physical Society this month said “there is a considerable presence within the scientific community of people who do not agree with the (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) conclusion that anthropogenic CO2 emissions are very probably likely to be primarily responsible for the global warming that has occurred since the Industrial Revolution.”
The first graph, obtained from the Hadley Centre of Britain’s Meteorological Office, shows how temperatures dropped, leveled off, and are now displaying a clear cooling trend, since their 1998 peak which was caused by the “El Nino” weather phenomenon, which is completely natural and has nothing to do with CO2 emissions.

The figures mesh with anecdotal evidence of a cooling pattern - China recently experienced its coldest winter in 100 years while northeast America was hit by record snow levels and Britain suffered its coldest April in decades as late-blooming daffodils were pounded with hail and snow on an almost daily basis. The British summer has also left many yearning for global warming, with temperatures in June and July rarely struggling to get over 16 degrees and on one occasion even dropping as low as 9 degrees in the middle of the afternoon.
A common claim of behalf of Al Gore and the Church of Environmentalism, and one vividly portrayed in the Hollywood movie The Day After Tomorrow, is a predicted catastrophic rise in sea levels as a result of global warming.
In actual fact, figures from the Colorado Centre For Astrodynamics Research show that global sea levels, after having risen since 2000, have been falling significantly over the last 2 years.
In addition, according to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, sea ice has grown rapidly in that same time frame and there is now more ice in the world than usually observed.

Another common cry from the alarmists is the contention that global warming is causing extreme weather events. Despite there having been far more violent and devastating weather events before the post World War 2 rise in CO2 levels, every flood, hurricane, tornado or cyclone is blamed on human-induced climate change.
The facts tell a different story. According to the American Meteorological Society, global warming hasn’t given us more cyclones, hurricanes, or tornados.
Furthermore, scaremongering about droughts attributed the global warming is disproved by the fact that levels of rainfall have increased.
Hysterical phony environmentalists like to imagine that the world has never been hotter, despite the fact that the planet has violently swung between extremes of temperature for eons.
New figures from the US National Council for Air and Stream Improvement debunk the IPCC’s notoriously controversial “hockey stick” graph and illustrate that the earth was a warmer place 1000 years ago. During such times, farmers in Greenland grew crops and even cultivated vineyards on a land mass that is now over 80% ice covered.
Despite evidence pouring in that the planet has naturally turned course and now embarked on a cooling trend, wild rhetoric, fearmongering, lecturing and bullying about the necessity for us to accept intrusions into our rights of mobility, privacy and behavior in the interests of saving the earth is at an all time high.
Global corporations and governments have joined forces to launch a united propaganda assault about how we must turn “green” while all the real environmental crises - deforestation, GM crops, chemtrails, genetic splicing, and cancer-causing cellphone tower radiation - are completely ignored.

The earth is also flat and held by a few elephants!
They want to kill us with CO2 while their lies are sufficient

“warm interstadial” - OMG, U act as if illustrating facts will change the minds of all the drooling idiot tree-hugging anti-human carbon tax worshipers! They’re not interested in facts. They just parrot whatever is ‘opposite’ - U know, ‘mass individuality’ thing, so they can B 1 with the ‘great granola’, & smoke lots of marijuana while wigging out 2 nig noise from Jamaica & slugging down coffee & herb extracts 2 get the maximum sheen from their dirtbag hair :))
OK well that’s the extreme drooler side, but all those who support a carbon tax R just hippies inside. Hippie = suicidal idiot. Zio-con = suicidal idiot. The real humans R somewhere between. Don’t bother trying 2 educate idiots. They’re the same fukwits woul would elect a nig 4 president - insane

“The American Physical Society reaffirms the following position on climate change, adopted by its governing body, the APS Council, on November 18, 2007: ‘Emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities are changing the atmosphere in ways that affect the Earth’s climate.’”

rsol:
The data from the Vostok ice cores, sea sediment cores, geology, and the Milankovich cycles all agree that the current Global Warming is caused by the natural cycle of the Ice Ages.
Global CO2 ALWAYS rises in direct response to the rise in global temperatures, which is caused by the Milankovich cycles. The Ice Age cycle is well known and definitively proven science, and human-caused Global Warming is not.
The belief that Global Warming is caused by human activity makes you an Ice Age denier. And no, you really CAN’T logically believe in both, because the scanty evidence for human-caused Global Warming is completely trumped by the overwhelming evidence for the Ice Age cycle.
So you’re either a Global Warming denier or an Ice Age denier; there is no middle ground.

Alex we love you. Please stick to what you know. And that goes for the rest of you. Simple stuff this. Its only when peoples toys are up for grabs you all start shouting foul. I’ve read quite a few of these posts(not all) and I have seen a terrible tip in one direction. You dont blame jesus for christians? Why I remember when the only people who were talking about global warming etc was me and a few tofu eating treehuggers. Now im no treehugger but i understand the need for trees. Al gore is a scumbag and is using this issue to push his own agenda. That is without doubt.
You seem to confuse the message with the messenger. To all of you nutbags who think that a radio transmitter(haarp) can make weather modification and have an effect on the environment but cant see how 6 billion people living their lives could have any effect…. well.. im not into calling names..use your imagination. but not too much, it seems to lead you astray…

Stephen:
Have you actually LOOKED at the data from the Vostok ice cores?
What the Vostok data plainly shows is that global temperatures ALWAYS peak, and they peak SHARPLY, at the close of every warm period between Ice Age glacial maximums. This occurs approximately every 110,000 years, in exact accordance with the Milankovich cycles.
And it isn’t just the Vostok data — sea sediment cores show essentially the same thing, and the ice core, sea sediment core, geologic evidence, and Milankovich cycle all agree on the same pattern and timing for the Ice Age cycle.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I.....-petit.png
What the Vostok data graph shows us is that each Ice Age glacial maximum lasts about 100,000 years, and that in between each Ice Age glacial maximum there is a warm interstadial, or glacial minimum, which lasts about 12,000 years. On the Vostok data graph, the warm interastadials are represented by the very highest peaks of the graph.
What I’m describing to you is Paleoclimatology 101, Stephen. It is a well know fact that you will learn in any first year Geology or Climatology class that the earth entered the current warm interstadial, or glacial minimum, about 12,000 years ago, and that 12,000 years is about as long as a warm interstadial normally lasts.
A preponderance of evidence of every kind shows that the earth is nearing the very end of the current warm interstadial, and we are on the verge of returning to Ice Age conditions. That is what climatologists were saying during the 1970s, and that situation HAS NOT CHANGED. In fact, newer and additional data, such as the Vostok ice core data that was collected during the late 1990s, REAFFIRMS and REINFORCES the conclusion that the current warm interstadial is almost finished and the earth will soon return to Ice Age conditions.
I’m arguing from the standpoint mainstream climatology, Steve. Global temperatures ALWAYS peak sharply at the close of a 12,000 year-long warm interstadial, just before the onset of a cyclic return to Ice Age conditions. This is college textbook information, and it has been for decades.
The fact is that IN NO WAY does the current theory of human-caused ‘Global Warming’ supercede or ‘trump’ the long-standing, well-established, multidisciplinary evidence that the earth is now at the end, or very nearly the end, of a 12,000 year-long warm interstadial, and that the earth is now on the verge of returning to Ice Age conditions.
Stephen, you wrote:
“Please understand that correlation doesn’t necessarily mean causation.”
If you understood what I wrote above, and if you know how to read the Vostok data graph correctly, you would realize that a ‘correlation’ is exactly what the proponents of the human-caused Global Warming theory are describing. Actually, the onus is on the proponents of human-caused Global Warming to prove their maverick theory, and they have not at all succeeded in doing so.
The CAUSATION of the earth’s long-term climate change during the epochal cycle of the Ice Age glacial maximums and warm interstadials has already been very well proven and established by climatologists as a product of the astronomical Milankovich cycles. You may call that a ‘correlation’ if you wish, Stephen, but it has been the prevailing opinion of climatologists for at least the past 70 years, and IT STILL IS.

Gregory:
Please understand that correlation doesn’t necessarily mean causation. According to the data of the Volstok ice cores, it may always peak before the resumption, but that doesn’t mean that every time it peaks sharply, there will be entering an Ice Age.
