Climate Realists unite

In early September, I began noticing a string of news stories about scientists rejecting the orthodoxy on global warming. Because a funny thing is happening to global temperatures -- they're going down, not up... [snip]

Also in September, American Craig Loehle, a scientist who conducts computer modelling on global climate change, confirmed his earlier findings that the so-called Medieval Warm Period (MWP) of about 1,000 years ago did in fact exist and was even warmer than 20th-century temperatures. [snip]

Don Easterbrook, a geologist at Western Washington University, says, "It's practically a slam dunk that we are in for about 30 years of global cooling," as the sun enters a particularly inactive phase. His examination of warming and cooling trends over the past four centuries shows an "almost exact correlation" between climate fluctuations and solar energy received on Earth, while showing almost "no correlation at all with CO2." [snip]

An analytical chemist who works in spectroscopy and atmospheric sensing, Michael J. Myers of Hilton Head, S. C., declared, "Man-made global warming is junk science," explaining that worldwide manmade CO2 emission each year "equals about 0.0168% of the atmosphere's CO2 concentration ? This results in a 0.00064% increase in the absorption of the sun's radiation. This is an insignificantly small number." [snip]

Other international scientists have called the manmade warming theory a "hoax," a "fraud" and simply "not credible". It may be that more global warming doubters are surfacing because there just isn't any global warming.

[ignore 'em, they're {highly qualified} doubters - let's spend trillions anyway and give away most of our liberties in the process...]
