Carbon Dioxide irrelevant in climate debate says MIT Scientist

In a
study sure to ruffle the feathers of the Global Warming cabal, Professor
Richard Lindzen of MIT has published a paper which proves that IPCC models are
overstating by 6 times, the relevance of CO2 in Earth’s Atmosphere.
Dr. Lindzen has found that heat is radiated out in to space at a far higher
rate than any modeling system to date can account for.
The
pdf file located at the link above from the Science and Public
Policy Institute has
absolutely, convincingly, and irrefutably proven the theory of Anthropogenic
Global Warming to be completely false.
Professor
Richard Lindzen of MIT’s peer reviewed work states “we now know that the effect
of CO2 on temperature is small, we know why it is small, and we know that it is
having very little effect on the climate.”
The global surface temperature record, which we update and
publish
every month, has shown no
statistically-significant “global warming”
for almost 15 years.
Statistically-significant global cooling has now
persisted for very nearly eight years.
Even a strong el Nino – expected
in the coming months – will be unlikely
to reverse the cooling trend.
More significantly, the ARGO bathythermographs deployed
throughout the world’s oceans since
2003 show that the top 400
fathoms of the oceans, where it is
agreed between all parties that at
least 80% of all heat caused by manmade
“global warming” must
accumulate, have been cooling over the
past six years. That now prolonged
ocean cooling is fatal to the
“official” theory that “global
warming” will happen on anything other
than a minute scale. - SPPI
If
for no other reason than this: the IPCC assumes that the concentration of CO2
in 2100 will be 836 ppmv (parts per million volume).
However, current graphs based on real data show that CO2 concentrations will
only be 570 ppmv in 2100, cutting the IPCC’s estimates in half right there.
Another
nail in the coffin of Global Warming is the observed rate of temperature change
from 1980, which is observed to be 1.5 degrees C
per century. The IPCC modeling calls for a range of 2.4 to 5.3 degree increase
per century, which is far above what is observed in real data collected between
1980 and 2009. The graph below clearly represents a far different reality as
opposed to the predictions.
Graph A
Not
only is the IPCC basing its predictions on data that has been doubled from
observed data, it is overstating the role of CO2 in Climate altogether. As the
graph seen below shows, when charted for the years between 2002 and 2009, that
solid red median line is going down, indicating global cooling.
Graph B
As
significant as the above results are, it is not the Pièce de résistance. What
is - the curious minded what to know? It is the ERBE results. The Earth
Radiation Budget Experiment with 15 years worth of data. The ERBE result is
absolutely devastating to the entire Global Warming Theory.
The
following graph (Graph C) shows the ERBE results in the upper left hand corner,
which is real recorded data, not a computer model. The 11 other graphs are the
results from the models used by the UN and everyone else which state that more
radiation should be held within Earth’s system, thereby causing warming of the
climate. More simply put, the UN results illogically predict that as the oceans
got warmer, the earth would simply hold more heat. The UN explains that it is
CO2 which is holding this extra energy. This theory is not
supportable by the simple fact that CO2 cannot hold that much heat,
it is a very poor greenhouse gas compared with water. If anything, more clouds
-water vapor- would conceivably hold the extra heat, but the corresponding rise
in global temperatures this would cause have not been
observed. This leaves only one conclusion, the Earth is radiating the extra
heat into space, and this is supported by the data.
The
ERBE results, which are factual data from real measurements made by satellite,
show the exact opposite result from the UN/IPCC Projections (computer models
which are not real data). As seas warm on earth, the earth releases more heat
into space and the satellite results prove it.
Graph C
Observed reality vs. erroneous computer predictions:
The mismatch between reality and prediction is entirely clear.
It is this
astonishing graph that provides the
final evidence that the UN has
absurdly exaggerated the effect not
only of CO2 but of all greenhouse
gases on global mean surface
temperature.
For
the sake of making the above graphs clear in their meanings, the term ?SST stands for Change in Sea Surface Temperature
measured in Kelvin (A unit of temperature like to Celsius and Fahrenheit), and
is a measurement of change in sea temperatures. A -1.0 number would
indicate cooling, a zero reflects no temperature change, and a +1.0 would
indicate an increase in temperature.
?Flux,
The Vertical line in these graphs, measures the change in the amount of
radiation released by the planet in the infra-red spectrum, heat in other
words. From zero to +6 shows more heat radiated out into space. From zero to -6 shows less heat being radiated into space.
0
change in ?SST equals 0 change in ?Flux or no change.
Less infra-red heat radiation going out into space should correlate to cooler
sea surface temperatures, as there is less heat available to radiate out. More
heat radiating out appears when sea surface temperature increases have occurred
and more heat is available to radiate. Heat is radiated out into space as seas
warm, and this overall maintains a climate
equilibrium, This is proven by the ERBE graph in Graph C above as well as the
other graphs presented in this article, which are based on observed data, not
computer models.
Graph D
The 3300 Argo bathythermograph buoys deployed throughout the
world’s oceans since late in 2003 have shown a slight cooling of the oceans
over the past five years, directly contrary to the official theory that any
“global warming” not showing in the atmosphere would definitely show up in the
first 400 fathoms of the world’s oceans, where at least 80% of any surplus heat
would be stored. Source: ARGO project, June 2009.
All
of this data leads to the conclusion that the UN/IPCC models are not only wrong, they are so far off the mark as to be
laughable. The satellite and bathythermograph data clearly do not match
the IPCC theory, which means that the theory is incorrect.
What
this data does tell us is if CO2 concentration should double, global
temperatures will not rise by the devastating 6 degrees F the UN predicts, but
by a completely harmless 1 degree F. The ERBE data shows an Earth system that
is radiating more heat into space as sea surfaces warm, in other words a system
at equilibrium, and is clearly demonstrated by observed data. The UN theory
of Anthropogenic Global Warming is dead wrong.
The
UN/IPCC have been using models that give a result that allow them to tell
Nation States they must reduce and cap Carbon Emissions or the earth’s climate
will warm by a devastating 6 degrees F. When in reality, more heat is simply
radiated out into space as the ERBE OBSERVED DATA (Not a computer model)
PROVES.
The
United States House of Representatives has passed a Carbon tax (Cap and Trade)
as have other governments in
There
are only a couple of conclusions to be made of this. Either the world has been
misled by scientists working for the UN and IPCC due to faulty science, or
faulty science has been deliberately used in a global scheme to generate tax
revenues for the Governments instituting Cap and Trade Taxation policies.
Either
way, the world has been the victim of some very bad science. The results of
which can be seen in drastically reduced GDP in countries with the Cap and
Trade laws in place, as well a a 5 - 10% decrease in standard of living for
those citizens living there (Taxing Carbon designed to fail.), all with little or no
effect on emissions globally.
Perhaps
this will finally end the attempt by the Obama Administration as well as
congress to tax a substance that trees need to survive, the very air we exhale
thousands of times a day.
