More Global Cooling Ahead, Study Says

Natural variations in climate, driven by shifting ocean currents, could lead to another decade of cooling global temperatures, according to a peer-reviewed study in the scientific journal Nature.

The cooling temperatures would add to an ongoing cooling trend that has held sway for the past decade.

Researchers at the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences in Kiel, Germany and at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, Germany believe the average temperature of the sea around Europe and North America will cool slightly over the next decade while the tropical Pacific will remain unchanged.

The Conservative Voice by David Jared made use of the recent anti AGW news to put down an excellent news blog.

Anthropogenic Global Warming - the belief that there is world-wide "global warming" that's caused by human activity - is quickly coming unraveled as more and more legitimate scientists who aren't dependent upon government "crisis" managementfundingare being finally heard from. It's all making Al Gore look like an idiot (which we really already knew, of course.) More importantly, it's making the Nobel committee look like a bunch of idiots.

Since this all began (the nonsense of AGW), none of the alarmist proponents have ever been able to explain why the ice caps on MARS have also been shrinking during the brief period of warming on this planet. Unless there are SUVs running around up there that our landers have so far been unable to detect, it MUST be solar activity that's responsible. The AGW crowd has consistently denied that as the probably source of the miniscule warming that has occurred over the past 100 years or so, however. When global warming stopped around 1998 and actually cooling began, these people changed their paradigm to "Climate Change," instead. That SHOULD have been our first clue that something was amiss, but the globalist, elitist socialists realized that the global warming theory was falling apart before their very eyes so had to come up with a new theory to match the actual, observed facts.

This is the summary outcome from the Guardian by George Monbiot for the Ofcom ruling to the Channel4 documentary "The Great Global Warming Swindle", Channel 4 to be censured over controversial climate film

Ofcom decided that it could not rule on the matter of accuracy. While news programmes are expected to be accurate, other factual programmes are not, and Ofcom "only regulates misleading material where that material is likely to cause harm or offence."

As Channel 4 is once again fiercely criticised by the TV watchdog for distorting the views of climate scientists, George Monbiot lays bare the channel's shameful history of misleading its viewers on global warming.

So here we go again. For the second time, Channel 4 has been fiercely criticised by the broadcasting regulator for a programme attacking environmental science. For the second time, the director was Martin Durkin.

Ten years ago, his series Against Nature was found to have misled his interviewees about "the content and purpose of the programmes" and distorted their views "through selective editing". Now Ofcom has ruled that the programme he made last year — The Great Global Warming Swindle — treated two scientists and an organisation (the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) unfairly. For the second time, Channel 4 will have to make an embarrassing primetime statement.

Updated from The Telegraph, Register, BBC & Independent below

I am a retired professional engineer. I graduated from Oregon State College (OSU) in 1950 in Mechanical Engineering. I registered as a professional engineer in 1963 and practiced until 2001, or for 38 years. I registered as a mechanical, electrical and environmental engineer and have been manufacturing in Oregon, Arkansas, Louisiana and South Carolina.

If everyone would think, they would know that global warming comes from the sun. To reduce the 0.03 percent carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would have no effect on global warming; it is equal to three people in 10,000.

Reducing burning carbon to control global warming is a fraud. There is no such thing as the Earth’s greenhouse effect. Yes, the Earth has been warming for centuries.

From TheRegister we have the following report concerning a "Do Not Read", or is it "Nil By Mouth".

Bureaucrats at the American Physical Society (APS) have issued a curious warning to their members about an article in one of their own publications. Don't read this, they say - we don't agree with it. But what is it about the piece that is so terrible, that like Medusa, it could make men go blind?

It's an article that examines the calculation central to climate models. As the editor of the APS's newsletter American Physics Jeffrey Marque explains, the global warming debate must be re-opened.

"There is a considerable presence within the scientific community of people who do not agree with the IPCC conclusion that anthropogenic CO2 emissions are very probably likely to be primarily responsible for the global warming that has occurred since the Industrial Revolution. Since the correctness or fallacy of that conclusion has immense implications for public policy and for the future of the biosphere, we thought it appropriate to present a debate within the pages of P&S concerning that conclusion," he wrote.

American Physics invited both believers and sceptics to submit articles, and has published a submission by Viscount Monckton questioning the core calculation of the greenhouse gas theory: climate sensitivity. The believers are represented by two physicists from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, who state that:

There has been a few articles of note concerning the Al Gore Speech, Lorne Gunter had this to say in the National Post.....and as you can expect, he did not fail to produce a first class article concerning his thoughts on the one time former vice-president and the impending doom and gloom that "Man Made Climate Change" is yet to bring.

On Thursday, former U. S. vice-president Al Gore delivered a major address calling on his country to abandon all fossil fuels within 10 years. By 2018, U. S. electricity and fuel should come entirely from "renewable energy and truly clean, carbon-free sources," he said. Tickets to the event encouraged attendees to "please use public transit, bicycling or other climate-friendly means" to reach the lecture hall.

So how did Mr. Gore and his retinue arrive? In two Lincoln Town Cars and a full-sized SUV that sat idling with the air conditioners blasting while the Gore party was inside.

It was 34 C in Washington. Al Gore can't be expected to get into an overheated vehicle after he's worked up a sweat telling others how to save the planet.

Dear Dr. Bienenstock,

Physics and Society

I have had your notice of refusal to remove your regrettable disclaimer from my paper Climate Sensitivity Reconsidered. Since you have not had the courtesy to remove and apologize for the unacceptable red-flag text that, on your orders, in effect invites readers of Physics and Society to disregard the paper that one of your editors had invited me to submit, and which I had submitted in good faith, and which I had revised in good faith after it had been meticulously reviewed by a Professor of Physics who was more than competent to review it, I must now require you to answer the questions that I had asked in my previous letter, videlicet –

Good Morning, Folks,

I may have discovered the one item that really frightens the climate modelers - the fact that none of their predictions seem to be bearing any fruit and in fact the opposite of their predictions seems to be happening.

I posted the below comment at.....

http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2008/07/aerosols-chemistry-and-climate/

.......and of course Gruppenführer Schmidt did not allow it to go live on the page, but it seems to indicate that even a casual summary of the actual situation appears as a threat to all of the failed climate modeling.

My original ( not allowed ) post is below for your enlightenment. Feel free to post it elsewhere if you wish, but I'd recommend you also include the note that this is the type of information that "Real Climate" doesn't want the general public to know. How ironic that "Real Climate" is not interested in the actual real climate of today.

We had a look at the recent Global Temperature Data from the Climate Research Unit on the following link: -

http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/temperature/hadcrut3vgl.txt

The results show June as having a decrease in world temperatures compared to the "Warm Years".

The CO2Sceptics forecast for Global Temps during 2008, is that World Temperatures will not be at the same level of the "Warm Years". The Sun is not expected to be with the more familiar, constant and predictable higher than average output we have seen for the past 60 years. You only have to look at the "Warm years" to see how constant that period was.

At each 11 year period we change the reference number of the Solar Cycle and Solar Cycle 25 is already forecast to be a relatively "Calm Sun" starting from about 2019. As a result we should start to see a moderate amount of "Global Cooling" in the next 11 years rather than the much over publicised "Global Warming" that started from Solar Cycle 18.

We will not hold back on this story....There are people starving to death in the world and a multi-million pound grant has been awarded to help forge an alliance between two Welsh universities working on problems posed by climate change......and the work is to ....study the impact flatulent cows have on global warming!

If that heading does not make you think twice about how crazy the "Man Made Climate Change" industry has become nothing will!
