In Science, Ignorance is not Bliss

• NASA has played a key role in one of the greatest periods of scientific progress in history. It is uniquely positioned to collect the most comprehensive data on our biosphere.
  For example, recently generated NASA data enabled scientists to finally understand the Gulf Stream warming mechanism and its effect on European weather. Such data will allow us to improve our models, resulting in better seasonal forecasts.
  NASA's Aqua satellite is showing that water vapor, the dominant greenhouse gas, works to offset the effect of carbon dioxide (CO2).
  This information, contrary to the assumption used in all the warming models, is ignored by global warming alarmists.
  Climate understanding and critical decision making require comprehensive data about our planet's land, sea, and atmosphere. Without an adequate satellite system to provide such data, policy efforts and monitoring international environmental agreements are doomed to failure. Our satellite monitoring capability is being crippled by interagency wrangling and federal budget issues. As much as a third of our satellites need replacing in the next couple of years.
  NASA should be at the forefront in the collection of scientific evidence and debunking the current hysteria over human-caused, or Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW). Unfortunately, it is becoming just another agency caught up in the politics of global warming, or worse, politicized science. Advocacy is replacing objective evaluation of data, while scientific data is being ignored in favor of emotions and politics.
  There are excellent correlations between the regular fluctuations of the Sun and the Earth's temperature, while scientists cannot find a relationship between industrial activity, energy consumption, and global temperatures. But global warming is an issue no longer being decided in the scientific arena.
  Saying the Earth is warming is to state the obvious.
  Since the end of the ice age, the Earth's temperature has increased approximately 16 degrees Fahrenheit and sea levels have risen a total of 300 feet.
  That is certain and measurable evidence of warming, but it is not evidence of AGW-human-caused warming.
  We can track the temperature of the Earth back for millennia. Knowing the temperature of the Earth, past or present, is a matter of collecting data, analyzing it, and coming up with the best answer to account for the data. Collecting such data on a global basis is a NASA forte.
  I believe in global climate change, but there is no way that humans can influence the temperature of our planet to any measurable degree with the tools currently at their disposal. Any human contribution to global temperature change is lost in the noise of terrestrial and cosmic factors.
  Our beautiful home planet has been warming and cooling for the last 4.8 billion years. Most recently, it has been warming-be it ever so slightly-but there is nothing unusual about it! The changes and rates of change in the Earth's temperature, just since the Industrial Revolution, have occurred many times in our climatic history. While climate scientists generally agree that the Earth's temperature is always changing, not many of them would say that humans are responsible for those changes.
  None of this is to say there are not legitimate reasons to restrict emissions of any number of chemicals into the atmosphere. We should just not fool ourselves into thinking we will change the temperature of the Earth by doing so.
  In a December 2007 Senate report, 400 prominent scientists signed a letter pointing out that climate change was a well-known natural phenomenon, and that adapting to it is far more sensible than attempting to prevent it. Their ranks included experts in climatology, geology, oceanography, biology, glaciology, biogeography, meteorology, economics, chemistry, mathematics, environmental sciences, engineering, physics, and paleo-climatology. Their message: When changes are gradual, man has an almost infinite ability to adapt and evolve.
  The fearmongers of global warming base their case on the correlation between CO2 and global temperature, even though we cannot be sure which is cause and which is effect. Historically, temperature increases have preceded high CO2 levels, and there have been periods when atmospheric CO2 levels were as much as 16 times what they are now, periods characterized not by warming but by glaciation. You might have to go back half a million years to match our current level of atmospheric CO2, but you only have to go back to the Medieval Warming Period, from the 10th to the 14th Century, to find an intense global warming episode, followed immediately by the drastic cooling of the Little Ice Age. Neither of these events were caused by variations in CO2 levels.
  Even though CO2 is a relatively minor constituent of "greenhouse gases," alarmists have made it the whipping boy for global warming (probably because they know how fruitless it would be to propose controlling other principal constituents, H2O, CH4, and N2O). Since human activity does contribute a tiny portion of atmospheric CO2, they blame us for global warming.
  Other inconvenient facts ignored by the activists:
  Carbon dioxide is a nonpolluting gas, essential for plant photosynthesis. Higher concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere produce bigger harvests.
  In spite of warnings of severe consequences from rising seas, droughts, severe weather, species extinction, and other disasters, the U.S. has not been stampeded into going along with the recommendations of the UN Panel on Climate Change-so far. Even though evidence supports the American position, we have begun to show signs of caving in to the alarmists.
  With scientific evidence going out of style, emotional arguments and anecdotal data are ruling the day. The media subjects us to one frightening image of environmental nightmare after another, linking each to global warming. Journalists and activist scientists use hurricanes, wildfires, and starving polar bears to appeal to our emotions, not to our reason. They are far more concerned with anecdotal observations, such as the frozen sea ice inside the Arctic Circle, than they are with understanding why it is happening and how frequently it has occurred in the past.
  After warnings that 2007 would be the hottest year on record and a record year for hurricanes, what we experienced was the coolest year since 2001 and, by some measures, the most benign hurricane season in the Northern Hemisphere in three decades.
  Even though recent changes in our atmosphere are all within the bounds of the Earth's natural variability, a growing number of people are willing to throw away trillions of dollars on fruitless solutions. Why do we allow emotional appeals and anecdotal data to shape our conclusions and influence our expenditures with the science and technology we have available at our fingertips?
  The situation is complex, but the sad state of scientific literacy in America today is partially to blame for belief in AGW. When a 2006 National Science Foundation survey found 25 percent of Americans not knowing the Earth revolves around the Sun, you know that science education is at a new low and society is vulnerable to the emotional appeal of AGW. And don't underestimate the role of politics and political correctness.
  The public debate should focus on the real cause of global temperature change and whether we can do anything about it. Is global warming a natural inevitability, or is it AGW-human caused?
  The conflict over AGW has deteriorated into a religious war; a war between true believers in human-caused global warming and nonbelievers; between those who accept AGW on faith and those who consider themselves more sensible and better informed. "True believers" are beyond being interested in evidence; it is impossible to reason a person out of positions they have not been reasoned into.
  It doesn't help that NASA scientist James Hansen was one of the early alarmists claiming humans caused global warming. Hansen is a political activist who spreads fear even when NASA's own data contradict him.
  Warming in the upper atmosphere should occur before any surface warming effect, but NASA's own data show that has not been happening. Global temperature readings-accurate to 0.1 degree Celsius-are gathered by orbiting satellites. Interestingly, in the 18 years those satellites have been recording global temperatures, they have actually shown a slight decrease in average temperatures.
  Hansen is currently calling for a reduction of atmospheric CO2 by 10 percent and a moratorium on coal-fired power plants, while claiming the Bush administration is censoring him. Other so-called scientists are saying the world must bring carbon emissions to near zero to keep temperatures from rising.
  In today's politically correct environment, many are reluctant to dispute the popular wisdom; when they do, they are frequently ignored.
  When NASA Administrator Michael Griffin, Hansen's boss and a distinguished scientist in his own right, attempted to draw a distinction between Hansen's personal and political views and the science conducted by his agency, he was soon forced to back off.
  It is the true believers who, when they have no facts on their side, try to silence their critics.
  When former NASA mathematician Ferenc Miskolczi pointed out that "greenhouse warming" may be mathematically impossible, NASA would not allow him to publish his work. Miskolczi dared to question the simplifying assumption in the warming model that the atmosphere is infinitely thick. He pointed out that when you use the correct thickness-about 65 miles-the greenhouse effect disappears! Ergo: no AGW. Miskolczi resigned in disgust and published his proof in the peerreviewed Hungarian journal Weather.
  For nearly a decade now, there has been no global warming. Even though atmospheric CO2 has continued to accumulate-up about 4 percent in the last 10 years-the global mean temperature has remained flat. That should raise obvious questions about CO2 being the cause of climate change.
  Instead, AGW enthusiasts are embracing more regulation, greater government spending, and higher taxes in a futile attempt to control what is beyond our control-the Earth's temperature. One of their political objectives, unstated of course, is the transfer of wealth from rich nations to poor nations or, as the social engineers put it, from the North to the South, which may be their real agenda.
  At the Bali Conference on Climate Change in December 2007, the poor nations insisted that the costs of technology to limit emissions and other impacts of climate change on their countries be paid by the rich nations. Most anticipated a windfall of money flowing into their countries to develop technology or purchase carbon credits. In this scenario, selling allotments for CO2 emissions would provide a temporary boost to their own cash flow, while severely limiting the economic development of those countries purchasing the carbon credits.
  In the face of overwhelming evidence for natural temperature variation, proponents of AGW are resorting to a precautionary argument: "We must do something just in case we are responsible, because the consequences are too terrible if we are to blame and do nothing." They hope to stampede government entities into committing huge amounts of money before their fraud is completely exposed-before science and truth save the day.
  Politicians think they can reverse global warming by stabilizing CO2 emissions with a cockamamie scheme of "cap and trade." A government entity would sell CO2 allocations to those industries producing it. The trillions of dollars in new taxes and devastation to the economy would be justified by claiming it will lower the temperature of the Earth. This rationalization is dependent on two assumptions: (1) that CO2 is responsible for the cause of changes in the Earth's temperature, and (2) a warmer Earth would be bad for humanity.
  The reality is that atmospheric CO2 has a minimal impact on greenhouse gases and world temperature. Water vapor is responsible for 95 percent of the greenhouse effect. CO2 contributes just 3.6 percent, with human activity responsible for only 3.2 percent of that.
  That is why some studies claim CO2 levels are largely irrelevant to global warming.
  Without the greenhouse effect to keep our world warm, the planet would have an average temperature of minus 18 degrees Celsius. Because we do have it, the temperature is a comfortable plus 15 degrees Celsius. Based on the seasonal and geographic distribution of any projected warming, a good case can be made that a warmer average temperature would be even more beneficial for humans.
  For a tiny fraction of the trillions of dollars a cap-and-trade system would eventually cost the United States, we could pay for development of clean coal, oil-shale recovery systems, and nuclear power, and have enough left over to pay for exploration of our solar system.
  By law, NASA cannot involve itself in politics, but it can surely champion the role of science to inform politicians. With so many uninformed and misguided politicians ignoring the available science, NASA should fill the void. NASA is synonymous with science. Allowing our priorities to drift away from hard science is tantamount to embracing decadence. NASA will surely suffer; and politicizing science is killing it.
  I do see hopeful signs that some true believers are beginning to harbor doubts about AGW. Let's hope that NASA can focus the global warming discussion back on scientific evidence before we perpetrate an economic disaster on ourselves.

• Global warming is a hoax
• It is a planet where global warming isn't happening -- or, if it is happening, isn't happening because of human beings. Or, if it is happening because of human beings, isn't going to be a big problem. And, even if it is a big problem, we can't realistically do anything about it other than adapt.
• Now look at the ice in Antarctica: Getting thicker in places!
• Sea level rise? It's actually dropping around certain islands in the Pacific and Indian oceans.
• The models can't even predict the weather in two weeks, much less 100 years, he says.
• Gray says the recent rash of strong hurricanes is just part of a cycle. This is part of the broader skeptical message: Climate change is normal and natural. There was a Medieval Warm Period, for example, long before Exxon Mobil existed.
• The skeptics have a final trump in the argument: Climate change is actually good. Growing seasons will be longer. Plants like carbon dioxide. Trees devour it. This demonized molecule, CO2, isn't some kind of toxin or contaminant or pollutant -- it's fertilizer.
• Lewis says the snows of Kilimanjaro have been in retreat since the 1880s. The climate there is not getting warmer, it's getting drier. Just won't snow.
• The most famous anomaly, long cited by skeptics, was the satellite data. It didn't show the warming of the lower atmosphere.
• "Carbon dioxide: They call it pollution. We call it life."
• Or their kids come home from school and say, 'Daddy, why are you killing the planet?
• In 20 years, he likes to say, the world will have cooled, and everyone will know he was right all along. When that happens, he says, he hopes someone will put flowers on his grave.

Dr. William Gray and Bill Clinton with Al Gore

• In a September, 2005, article from Discovery Magazine, Dr. William Gray, now an emeritus professor of atmospheric science at Colorado State University and a former president of the American Meteorological Association, was asked if funding problems that he was experiencing and has been experiencing could be traced to his skepticism of man-made global warming. His response: "I had NOAA money for 30 years, and then when the Clinton administration came in and Gore started directing some of the environmental stuff, I was cut off. I couldn't get any money from NOAA. They turned down 13 straight proposals from me." This man is one of the most prominent hurricane experts in the world, cut off during the Clinton-Gore administration because he had been skeptical of global warming.

de Aussagen:

• de Angesichts der derzeitigen heftigen Kontroverse über die Frage aus Satellitendaten abgeleiteter Troposphärentemperaturen geben wir an dieser Stelle im Interesse der Öffentlichkeit und mit Dr. Christys Erlaubnis die schriftliche Stellungnahme wieder, die er zu diesem Thema gegenüber dem Ressourcenausschuss des US-Repräsentantenhauses abgab.
  Die beobachteten Erwärmungsmuster, durch den Vergleich der Temperatur am Boden und in der Atmosphäre, zeigen nicht die typischen Merkmale eines Treibhauseffekts. Man kann nicht die Tatsache leugnen, der Einfluss des Menschen ist nicht entscheidend und die Zunahme des CO2 ist ein vernachlässigbarer Faktor bei der Klimaerwärmung.
  lycos.de de Stellungnahme von Dr. John Christy vom 13. Mai 2003 gegenüber dem Ressourcenausschuss des US-Repräsentantenhauses

en Statements:

• 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 concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) is increasing in the atmosphere due primarily to the combustion of fossil fuels. Fortunately (because we produce so much of it) CO2 is not a pollutant.
  As an aside, it is clear that other emissions may be called pollutants, e.g. sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides and mercury. Controlling these is a completely separate issue from controlling emissions of CO2 and so will not be discussed here.
  The conclusion in IPCC 2001 that human induced global warming was clearly evident was partly based on a depiction of the Northern Hemisphere temperature since 1000 A.D. This depiction showed little change until about 1850, then contains a sharp upward rise, suggesting that recent warming was dramatic and linked to human effects.
  Since IPCC 2001, two important papers have shown something else.
  Using a wider range of information from new sources these studies now indicate large temperature swings have been common in the past 1000 years and that temperatures warmer than today's were common in 50-year periods about 1000 years ago.
  These studies suggest that the climate we see today is not unusual at all.

Enge Korrelation zwischen Sonnenaktivität und Wassermengen in Flüssen und Seen
en Solar to river flow and lake level correlations

de Weniger Sonnenflecken → kälter → trockener en Less sunspots → colder → dryer	Klimaskeptiker Info 2010-07-22 de Enge Korrelation zwischen Sonnenaktivität und Wassermengen in Flüssen und Seen Watts Up With That? (Antony Watts) 2010-07-22 en Solar to river flow and lake level correlations
de Korrelation zwischen der Sonnenaktivität (gemessen an der Zahl der Sonnenflecken) und der Wassermenge, die der südamerikanische Fluß Parana führt. Der Parana ist der zweitgrößte Fluß Südamerikas. Der gewaltige Itaipu-Damm mit einer installierten Kraftwerksleistung von 14.000 MW staut den Parana.	en The figure above is after a figure from Maus et al 2010 "Long term solar activity influences on South American rivers". It shows a very good correlation between solar activity, as measured by sunspot number, and the flow rate of the Parana River, the second largest river in South America. The Parana River now hosts the Itaipu Dam with installed capacity of 14,000 MW.
Our prediction for Solar Cycle 24 in terms of F10.7 flux is shown following:
de Die AGW-Anhänger behaupten, der Einfluß der Sonne auf das Klima sei gering, da sich der Betrag der Sonnenstrahlung nur gering mit dem Sonnenfleckenzyklus ändere. Wenn aber die Sonnenaktivität offenbar die Wassermengen in Flüssen und Seen steuert, ist ein Einfluß auf andere Aspekte des Wettergeschehens mindestens plausibel. Der nur sehr zögerlich gestartete und sich schwach entwickelnde Zyklus 24 läßt angesichts des Einflusses auf die Flüsse verschiedene Folgen erwarten: Massive Einbußen z.B. bei den kanadischen Getreideernten Dürre in Zentralsüdamerika Dürre in Ostafrika Massive Einbußen bei der Wasserkraft-Ausbeute in Brasilien und Paraguay Wenn diese vorhergesagte Folgen eines schwachen Sonnenfleckenzyklus 24 eintreten, werden die CAGW-Anhänger zweifellos versuchen, sie als Konsequenzen der vermeintlichen globalen Erwärmung zu vermarkten - selbst wenn es bis dahin global kälter werden sollte.	en Given the link between East African and central South American rainfall and solar activity, the list of economic impacts from the current solar minimum (Solar Cycles 24 and 25) can be expanded to: Canadian agricultural will get a severe whacking from a shortened growing season and un-seasonal frosts. Drought in central South America Drought in East Africa Paraguay and Brazil having severe power shortages. This list is by no means exhaustive. The last time the world witnessed mass starvation was the 1965-67 drought in India which killed 1.5 million people. Things don't look pretty.

  This is an error, based not on blunders or poor scholarship but on selective reporting of results, where one side of the story is highlighted but the other side is buried in silence.

  In other words, it's a sin of omission, that is, it results, literally, from being economical with the truth.

  It succeeds in conveying an erroneous impression of the issue - similar to what "hide the decline" did successfully (until Climategate opened and let the sunshine in).

• de Viel grösser sind indirekte Wirkungen als Folge von Schwankungen des Sonnenmagnetfeldes, in das die Erde eingebettet ist.
  Folgendes geschieht dabei:
  • Teilchen der Kosmischen Strahlung, die aus den Tiefen des Weltraums ständig in die Erdatmosphäre prasseln, erzeugen dort Ionen, die - genau wie schwebende Staubteilchen (Aerosole) - als Kondensationskerne für Wassertropfen dienen können.
  • Das wechselnde Magnetfeld und der Sonnenwind schirmen Kosmische Strahlung mehr oder minder stark ab.
  • Sie ändern damit die Tropfenbildung in der Atmosphäre und die Wolkenbedeckung der Erde.

Die kosmische Strahlung

• de Die Kosmische Strahlung (engl. Cosmic Rays), früher auch Höhenstrahlung genannt, ist eine hochenergetische Teilchenstrahlung aus dem Weltall. Sie besteht vorwiegend aus Protonen, daneben aus Elektronen und vollständig ionisierten Atomen. Auf die äußere Erdatmosphäre treffen ca. 1000 Teilchen pro Quadratmeter und Sekunde. Durch Wechselwirkung mit den Gasmolekülen entstehen Teilchenschauer mit einer hohen Anzahl von Sekundärteilchen, von denen aber nur ein geringer Teil die Erdoberfläche erreicht.
• en Cosmic rays are energetic particles originating from space that impinge on Earth's atmosphere. Almost 90% of all the incoming cosmic ray particles are protons, about 9% are helium nuclei (alpha particles) and about 1% are electrons (beta minus particles). The term "ray" is a misnomer, as cosmic particles arrive individually, not in the form of a ray or beam of particles.
• fr Le rayonnement cosmique désigne de manière générale le flux de particules de haute énergie (c'est-à-dire relativistes) présent dans tout l'Univers. Il s'agit pour sa partie chargée principalement de protons (entre 85 et 90 %) et de noyaux d'hélium (de 9 à 14 %), le reste étant constitué d'électrons, de différents nucléons (noyaux d'atomes) ainsi que de quantités infimes d'antimatière légère (antiprotons et positrons).

de Das Klima wird von der Sonne gesteuert

• Schauen Sie sich diese Videos an in dem dänische Forscher erklären, wie sie darauf gekommen sind, dass das Klima von der Sonne gesteuert wird.
• Die Sonne lenkt zeitweise die kosmische Strahlung von der Erde ab, so dass weniger Wolken entstehen und es auf der Erde wärmer wird (oder bei abnehmender Sonnenaktivität auch kühler wird).
• Ständig treffen kosmische Strahlen aus dem Weltraum auf die Erdatmosphäre. Sie lassen hier als Kondensationskeime Wolken entstehen. Nimmt die kosmische Strahlung zu, breitet sich die Wolkendecke aus, und es wird kälter. Nimmt die kosmische Strahlung ab, schrumpft auch die Wolkendecke, und es wird wärmer. Das weit in den interplanetarischen Raum reichende Magnetfeld der Sonne wirkt, zusammen mit den so genannten Sonnenwinden, als Schutzschild und Regler gegenüber der kosmischen Strahlung.

• Have a look at these videos to see how scientiscs from Denmark have found how the sun is at the origin of climate change.
• The sun modifies the cosmic rays which are creating clouds and therefore influence the heating of the earth.

Wolken unter kosmischem Einfluss

• Seit Jahrzehnten vermuten Sonnenforscher wie die dänischen Meteorologen Henrik Svensmark und Eigil Friis Christensen, dass die kosmische Strahlung sich auf die Wolkenbildung auswirkt und somit die Temperaturen auf der Erde beeinflusst. Einen solchen Zusammenhang legten frappierende statistische Übereinstimmungen zwischen dem Sonnenfleckenzyklus und der Temperaturentwicklung auf der Erde nahe. Die offizielle Klimaforschung fasste das Thema jedoch stets mit sehr spitzen Fingern oder überhaupt nicht an, da der Nachweis eines physikalischen Mechanismus fehle. Das dürfte sich jetzt ändern. Einer Arbeitsgruppe um Frank Arnold vom Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik in Heidelberg hat in einem aufwendigen Versuch erstmals experimentelle Hinweise auf den physikalischen Prozess gefunden. Wie von den Sonnenforschern bislang vermutet, können Teilchen, die aus dem All mit hoher Geschwindigkeit in die Atmosphäre eindringen, tatsächlich Kondensationskerne für Wolken entstehen lassen. Pioniere der These wie Henrik Svensmark dürften die Max-Plank-Ergebnisse als späte Genugtuung empfinden und als Ausgleich für die jahrelangen Anfeindungen durch manche etablierten Klimaforscher.

• maxeiner-miersch.de de Kosmische Wolke

• In den vergangenen Jahren haben die Meteorologen Henrik Svensmark, Eigil Friis-Christensen, und Nigel Marsh einen Zusammenhang zwischen der Intensität der kosmischen Strahlung und dem Bewölkungsgrad gefunden. Insbesondere deuten die statistischen Analysen einen elfjährigen Zyklus der Bewölkung an, was auf einen Zusammenhang zwischen dem Sonnenfleckenzyklus und daraus resultierenden Schwankungen der kosmischen Strahlung hinweist. Allerdings bemängeln Kritiker die beschränkte Datenbasis sowie das Fehlen eines experimentell fundierten physikalischen Prozesses. Letzteren scheinen Frank Arnold und seine Mitarbeiter nun gefunden zu haben.

• en Chapter 6 Radiative Forcing of Climate Change
  6.11.2.2 Cosmic rays and clouds

  Climate Change 2001 IPCC Working Group I: The Scientific Basis
  Svensmark and Friis-Christensen (1997) demonstrated a high degree of correlation between total cloud cover, from the ISCCP C2 data set, and cosmic ray flux between 1984 and 1991. Changes in the heliosphere arising from fluctuations in the Sun's magnetic field mean that galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) are less able to reach the Earth when the Sun is more active so the cosmic ray flux is inversely related to solar activity.

  Svensmark and Friis-Christensen analysed monthly mean data of total cloud using only data over the oceans between 60°S and 60°N from geostationary satellites. They found an increase in cloudiness of 3 to 4% from solar maximum to minimum and speculated that (a) increased GCR flux causes an increase in total cloud and that (b) the increase in total cloud causes a cooling of climate.

  Svensmark and Friis-Christensen (1997) also extended this analysis to cover the years 1980 to 1996 using cloud data from the DMSP and Nimbus-7 satellites and showed that the high correlation with GCR flux is maintained

  But IPCC concluded:
  We conclude ... At present there is insufficient evidence to confirm that cloud cover responds to solar variability.

  Remarks:
  IPCC has not reconsidered its position yet. (2008)
