Global Warming Hokum

Cooling and WarmingIn mind numbingly complex mathCooling and Warmingematical article in the March issue of PHYSICS TODAY by DUKE UNIVERSITY researcher Nicola Scafetta, and Bruce West chief scientist at the US Army Research office concludes that “the Sun could account for 69% of the earth’s average temperature increase” of 0.8 +/-0.1 degree Celsius since 1900.

It also says that “since 2002 the temperature data suggest global cooling, not a warming.” They conclude, “Furthermore, if the Sun does cool off, as some solar forecast predict over the coming to decades. That cooling would stabilize Earth’s climate and avoid the catastrophic consequences predicted by the IPCC report (on global warming).“

Such studies suggest much of the current hysteria about global warming is just that — so much non-scientific bunkum based on political agendas; promoted by talking media heads with no science backgrounds, and secularist progressives willing to have the USA finance global economic redistribution regardless or perhaps because of deleterious impacts on America.
