Physics and Society Forum Rebuke Global Warming
Not everyone is sure the world is experiencing climate change based on man made pollutants. The Physics and Society Forum and apart of The American Physical Society says that “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 global warming that has occurred since the Industrial Revolution.”
This is counter to current pop-intelligence. In a scientific Paper, Lord Christopher Monckton of Brenchley explains that the sun is the most likely cause of our measurable warming. “In the past 70 years the Sun was more active than at almost any other time in the past 11,400 years … Mars, Jupiter, Neptune’s largest moon, and Pluto warmed at the same time as Earth.”
Furthermore his data shows a drop in mean global surface temperature anomalies of 0.8 degrees Celsius which “has canceled out almost all of the observed warming of the 20th century”.
The big difference is a measure of climate sensitivity. The debate is about how much a certain mass of greenhouse gasses will change the Earth’s temperature. Monckton believes that the IPCC has grossly overstated this part of the equation. His numbers suggest that more CO2 will have little effect on climate change.
Here is a chart showing the history of CO2 in the atmosphere and global temperatures going back nearly 550 million years. It shows that we are in a much cooler period than the Earth has spent most of its history in and that atmospheric CO2 has has little correlation with world temperature.
