A New Theory of Climate Change

Introduction

Man-made carbon dioxide is generally thought to produce global warming. However, in a recent article entitled “Does Carbon Dioxide Drive Global Warming?” I presented several major reasons why carbon dioxide is probably not the primary cause.¹ But if carbon dioxide is not the cause, then what is? Evidence is accumulating that cosmic rays associated with fluctuations in the sun’s electromagnetic field may be what drives global warming.

Deadly cold snap in US shatters temp. records, sends even polar bears to shelter Published time: January 08, 2014 Record freezing temperatures gripped the entire US, including Hawaii, as a major winter storm hit the country. The alarming weather brought ice and heavy snowfall caused by a ‘polar vortex’, bringing many cities to a standstill and killing at least 21. U.S. Midwest, Northeast hit by bitter cold temperatures ‘It’s just a dangerous cold,’ National Weather Service meteorologist Butch Dye says The Associated Press Posted: Jan 06, 2014 5:56 AM ET The coldest, most dangerous blast of polar air in decades gripped the U.S. Midwest and pushed toward the east and south on Monday, closing schools, grounding flights and forcing people to pull their hoods and scarves tight to protect exposed skin from nearly instant frostbite. Nearly 187 million Americans, more than half of the population of the U.S., were under…

No Need to Panic About Global Warming The Wall Street Journal  27 January 2012 There’s no compelling scientific argument for drastic action to ‘decarbonize’ the world’s economy. Editor’s Note: The following has been signed by the 16 scientists listed at the end of the article: A candidate for public office in any contemporary democracy may have to consider what, if anything, to do about “global warming.” Candidates should understand that the oft-repeated claim that nearly all scientists demand that something dramatic be done to stop global warming is not true. In fact, a large and growing number of distinguished scientists and engineers do not agree that drastic actions on global warming are needed.  In September, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Ivar Giaever, a supporter of President Obama in the last election, publicly resigned from the American Physical Society (APS) with a letter that begins: “I did not renew [my membership] because I…

Professor Prins The Australian government’s proposal to convert its carbon tax to an emissions trading scheme in 2014 is fraught with danger. Because a carbon credit is an intangible good, trading in it is open to fraud and scams. In December 2009 Europol, the European criminal intelligence agency warned that ETS fraud had resulted in around 5 billion Euros in lost revenues and as much as 90 percent of the entire market volume on emissions exchanges was caused by fraudulent activity.   One of the recognised experts in the field of emissions trading, Professor Prins of the London School of Economics is reported to have said that there is no credible evidence that ETS markets make any difference to emissions. His Hartwell Group has published a number of papers examining ways to mitigate global warming effects. In reference to his statement, Professor Prins, in an email to Globalcomment, confirmed the statement,…

Martin Lehmann – 20 Jan 2010 “Global warming-at least the modern nightmare version – is a myth. I am sure of it and so are a growing number of scientists. But what is really worrying is that the world’s politicians and policy makers are not” – David Bellamy, Daily Mail, July 9, 2004 Nor are the world’s media. Maybe it’s because end-of-the-world stories make good headlines. For some time now the believers have been perpetrating the myth that the science of global warming is settled. “The scientists are virtually screaming from the rooftops now. The debate is over! There’s no longer any debate in the scientific community about this”, trumpets the high priest of the global warming religion, Al Gore. Well Al, then how about these scientists? “I am a sceptic.. Global warming has become a new religion” – Nobel Prize Winner for Physics, Ivar Giaver. [Warming fears are the ]…
