Science: Pilvet tärkein tekijä ilmaston lämpenemisessä

Science Magazine


"The first reliable analysis of cloud behavior over past decades suggests —but falls short of proving —that clouds are strongly amplifying global warming. If that's true, then almost all climate models have got it wrong. On page 460, climate researchers consider the two best, long-term records of cloud behavior over a rectangle of ocean that nearly spans the subtropics between Hawaii and Mexico. In a warming episode that started around 1976, ship-based data showed that cloud cover—especially low-altitude cloud layers—decreased in the study area as ocean temperatures rose and atmospheric pressure fell. One interpretation, the researchers say, is that the warming ocean was transferring heat to the overlying atmosphere, thinning out the low-lying clouds to let in more sunlight that further warmed the ocean. That's a positive or amplifying feedback. During a cooling event in the late 1990s, both data sets recorded just the opposite changes—exactly what would happen if the same amplifying process were operating in reverse"

New York Times shokkiuutinen: Vaipuuko aurinko koomaan ?

(SUN GAZING These photos show sunspots near solar maximum on July 19, 2000, and near solar minimum on March 18, 2009. Some global warming skeptics speculate that the Sun may be on the verge of an extended slumber)



New York Times

"Indeed, last year marked the blankest year of the Sun in the last half-century — 266 days with not a single sunspot visible from Earth. Then, in the first four months of 2009, the Sun became even more blank, the pace of sunspots slowing more.

“It’s been as dead as a doornail,” David Hathaway, a solar physicist at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., said a couple of months ago"

"Up until a few months ago, I was a big supporter of our National Academies. No
more.A fact of life today is that the internet has facilitated the rapid and continuous
dissemination of misinformation and disinformation by those promoting nothing
more than self-serving interests. Lobbyists are full well of this power and have
launched an unprecedented “marketing” assault on citizens and politicians"

* Global warming patterns have reversed in the past decade, Rice says, citing studies by meteorologist Dr. Judah Cohen, whom BlackRock has on retainer. Ten years is microscopic in geological terms but "you'd better hope global warming is caused by man-made [carbon dioxide] if you're investing in these sectors," he says. "I think that's a huge risk based on some of the evidence that's been coming out."

* Alternative energies are not economical without major government subsidies or a large enough carbon tax. The cap and trade legislation currently being debated is "not enough to do anything," Rice says. "All it does is provide Obama a pass to Copenhagen" where the U.N. is hosting a climate change conference in December.

Johtava IPCC-tiedemies: "Ilmastonmuutos ei ehkä ihmisen aiheuttama"

"Alarmistien" rivit alkavat rakoilla jo kaikkein "pyhimmästäkin", eli IPCC:sta, johtaviin tiedemiehiinsä kuuluva Tom Trip esitti epäilyksensä antropogeenisesta ilmastonmuutoksesta torstain konferenssissa Salt Lake City´ssä:

The Salt Lake Tribune

"At Thursday's convention, Tripp found a receptive audience among the 250 people attending the conference. He said there is so much of a natural variability in weather it makes it difficult to come to a scientifically valid conclusion that global warming is man made. "It well may be, but we're not scientifically there yet"

Nature Geoscience: Global warming: Our best guess is likely wrong

Nature Geoscience esittää tänään tuoreen tutkimuksen, joka haastaa hiilidioksidin
roolin ilmaston lämpenemisessä.


RICE UNIVERSITY

"No one knows exactly how much Earth's climate will warm due to carbon emissions, but a new study this week suggests scientists' best predictions about global warming might be incorrect.

The study, which appears in Nature Geoscience, found that climate models explain only about half of the heating that occurred during a well-documented period of rapid global warming in Earth's ancient past. The study, which was published online today, contains an analysis of published records from a period of rapid climatic warming about 55 million years ago known as the Palaeocene-Eocene thermal maximum, or PETM"

Ilmasto-ordotoksian epäilijät Nurnbergin oikeudenkäyntiin ?
