New Study Says Global Warming Not Caused by Man

The report, published in the December 2007 issue of the International Journal of Climatology of the Royal Meteorological Society, finds that Global Warming shows no human influence.

Scientists at the University of Rochester, the University of Alabama, and the University of Virginia, say that observed patterns of changes in temperature over the last thirty years can be better explained natural factors, such as solar variability.

Lead author, Prof. David H. Douglass (Univ. of Rochester) states;

“The observed pattern of warming, comparing surface and atmospheric temperature trends, does not show the characteristic fingerprint associated with greenhouse warming. The inescapable conclusion is that the human contribution is not significant and that observed increases in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases make only a negligible contribution to climate warming.”


The results contrast the conclusions drawn by United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), as well as a few others that are based on the same data. However, they are supported by the results of the CCSP (Climate Change Science Program).

Beyond that, it also explains why we are seeing temperature increases on Mars, Pluto, Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptunes moon, Triton.

Co-author of the latest study Prof. John R. Christy (Univ. of Alabama) said:

“Satellite data and independent balloon data agree that atmospheric warming trends do not exceed those of the surface. Greenhouse models, on the other hand, demand that atmospheric trend values be 2-3 times greater. We have good reason, therefore, to believe that current climate models greatly overestimate the effects of greenhouse gases. Satellite observations suggest that GH models ignore negative feedbacks, produced by clouds and by water vapor, that diminish the warming effects of carbon dioxide.”


Prof. S. Fred Singer (Univ. of Virginia) finishes by stating;

We must conclude, therefore, that attempts to control CO2 emissions are ineffective and pointless. – but very costly.
