Articles Tagged "Stephen Wilde"

Stephen Wilde has been a Fellow of the Royal Meteorological Society since 1968. The first three articles from Mr Wilde were received with a great deal of interest throughout the Co2 Sceptic community.

In Stephen Wilde’s fourth and exclusive article for CO2Sceptics.Com he considers the contentious aspect of "Man Made Climate Change", namely the politics and provides his reasoning as to how and why the public are being deliberately misinformed.

Nigel Lawson told us "WHAT" is happening in The REAL inconvenient truth: Zealotry over global warming but Stephen Wilde describes "HOW" it is happening i.e. via an abandonment of scientific method and apparent abuse of power by intergovernmental organisations.

Here, then, is our most controversial article so far concerning "Man Made Climate Change".

WHY HAS POLITICS GOT IN THE WAY OF SCIENCE ?

The short answer is that it always does.

Stephen Wilde has been a Fellow of the Royal Meteorological Society since 1968. The first two article's from Mr Wilde were received with a great deal of interest throughout the Co2 Sceptic community.

In Stephen Wilde's third and exclusive article for CO2Sceptics.Com, he explores the mechanics and mechanism involved that are attributed to the Earth's Warming and Cooling, needless to say the presence of CO2 is not part of the process.

Global Warming and Cooling - The Reality.

It’s all very well doing what alarmists do which is to say that Co2 is rising and temperatures are rising so in the absence of any other known cause it must be man made CO2 that is warming the planet. That approach ignores both the differing scale of the possible influencing factors and the clear historical relationship between cooler climates and periods of a less active sun. The presence of the sun must be a much bigger influence on global temperatures than the greenhouse characteristics of CO2 on it’s own.

Stephen Wilde has been a Fellow of the Royal Meteorological Society since 1968. The first article from Mr Wilde The link between solar cycle length and decadal global temperature was received with a great deal of interest throughout the Co2 Sceptic community.

In this second article from Stephen Wilde, he expose's a serious flaw in the IPCC modellers parameters for the changes to the Earths Climate in recent decades.

The reader will find, the argument put forward in support of this article may have significant implications for the assumptions made by the IPCC on the influence of the Sun to the Earth as a result of this work.

FAILURE OF IPCC TO PROPERLY CONSIDER SOLAR INFLUENCE

As I understand it the solar effect on climate has been discounted by the climate modellers because the variation in total solar irradiance between the peak and the trough of a single eleven year (approximately) solar cycle seems far too small to make any difference to global temperature.

There are a number of problems with their assumption as follows:-

The concept of total solar irradiance is purely a convenient construct. We do not know all the different mechanisms by which the sun can have an influence on global temperature either directly or indirectly. The use of the word “total” is therefore misleading. Even the concept of irradiance is vague and maybe incomplete.

I've been a Fellow of the Royal Meteorological Society since 1968. Admittedly that was before a science qualification was required but I've been a weather and climate geek for over 50 years.

The alleged link between cosmic ray flux and cloudiness remains to be proved or disproved.

The link between solar cycle length and decadal global temperature changes is obvious throughout all the weather records. It's not strictly a sunspot issue, it just happens that the longer the solar cycle is the less intense is the sunspot activity and presumably the overall heat output ( not necessarily the same as what we artificially term Total Solar Irradiance) during the cycle.

Short fast cycles with many sunspots result in warming. Long slow cycles with fewer sunspots result in cooling.

The mechanism which explains the clear and obvious link has not been ascertained adequately but it sure ain't anything to do with CO2. It is likely that the El Nino/ La Nina cycle is implicated with a dominance of El Nino resulting in global warming and a dominance of La Nina resulting in global cooling.
