More than 500 scientists have published evidence refuting the current
man-made global warming scare, according to a new analysis of
peer-reviewed literature by the Hudson Institute.
The assessment supports another study on which WND reported recently,
one that revealed
carbon dioxide levels were largely irrelevant to global warming. Those
results prompted Reid Bryson, founding chairman of the Department of
Meteorology at the University of Wisconsin, to quip, "You can go outside
and spit and have the same effect as doubling carbon dioxide."
The newest analysis was released by Hudson Institute Senior Fellow
Dennis Avery, who said of the 500 scientists who have refuted at least
one element of the global warming scare, more than 300 have found
evidence that a natural moderate 1,500-year climate cycle has produced
more than a dozen global warmings similar to the current circumstances
since the last Ice Age and that such warmings are linked to variations
in the sun's irradiance.
"This data and the list of scientists make a mockery of recent claims
that a scientific consensus blames humans as the primary cause of global
temperature increases since 1850," he said.
"Two thousand years of published human histories say that the warm
periods were good for people. It was the harsh, unstable Dark Ages and
Little Ice Age that brought bigger storms, untimely frost, widespread
famine and plagues of disease," he said.
Other researchers have found evidence that sea levels are failing to
rise importantly, storms and droughts are becoming fewer and milder and
human deaths will be reduced with warming because cold kills twice the
number of people as heat. Another result was that corals, trees, birds,
mammals and butterflies are "adapting well" to the routine reality of
changing climate, the analysis said.
The issue of global warming, of course, erupted with the release of the
film that former Vice President Al Gore made ? and stars in ? called "An
Inconvenient Truth," which won an Oscar. It now has become mandatory for
students in many high schools and colleges.

Despite the publication of such global warming debunking conclusions in
journals including Nature, Geophysical Review Letters and Science,
there's been little media attention, he said.
"Not all of these researchers would describe themselves as global
warming skeptics," noted Avery, "but the evidence in their studies is
there for all to see."
The scientists were compiled by Avery and climate physicist S. Fred
Singer, who previously has reported there has been little or no warming
since about 1940. The two also
co-authored the new book "Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500
Years," from peer-reviewed studies in specialties including tree rings,
sea levels, stalagmites, lichens, pollen, plankton, insects, public
health, Chinese history and astrophysics.
"We have had a greenhouse theory with no evidence to support it ? except
a moderate warning turned into a scare by computer models whose results
have never been verified with real-world events," added Singer. "On the
other hand, we have compelling evidence of a real-world climate cycle
averaging 1470 years (plus or minus 500) running through the last
million years of history. The climate cycle has above all been moderate,
and the trees, bears, birds, and humans have quietly adapted."
Singer said climate model-builders probably have developed a consensus
of guesses. "However, the models only reflect the warming, not its
cause," he said.
He said about 70 percent of the Earth's post-1850 warming came before
1940, and thus was probably not caused by human-emitted greenhouse
gases. The net post-1940 warming totals only a tiny 0.2 degrees Celsius,
he said.
The analysis said the historic evidence of the temperature fluctuations
includes the 5,000-year record of Nile floods, 1st Century Roman wine
production in Britain, and thousands of museum paintings that portray
sunnier skies during the Medieval Warming and cloudiness during the
Little Ice Age.
Physical evidence includes oxygen isotopes, beryllium ions, sea and
pollen fossils and ancient tree rings.
For example, Constance Millar of the U.S. Forest Service studied seven
species of relict trees that grew above today's treeline and concluded
temperatures during the Medieval Warming Period on Whitewing Mountain in
California were about 3.2 degrees warmer than today's temperatures.
Singer said experiments also have shown more or fewer cosmic rays
hitting the Earth create more or fewer low, cooling clouds that deflect
solar heat back into space ? which amplifies small variations in the
intensity of the sun.
The earlier study
"Heat Capacity, Time Constant, and Sensitivity of Earth's Climate System
,"
was authored by Brookhaven National lab scientist Stephen Schwartz.
"Anthropogenic (man-made) global warming bites the dust," declared
astronomer Ian Wilson after reviewing the study, which was accepted for
publication in the peer-reviewed Journal of Geophysical Research.
Bryson's and Wilson's comments were among those from a long list of
doubters
of catastrophic, man-made global warming, assembled by Sen. James
Inhofe, R-Okla.,
and
posted on a blog site for the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and
Public Works.
Meteorologist Joseph Conklin, of the website Climate Police
said
"global warming" is disintegrating.
"A few months ago, a study came out that demonstrated global
temperatures have leveled off. But instead of possibly admitting that
this whole global warming thing is a farce, a group of British
scientists concluded that the real global warming won't start until
2009," Conklin wrote.
WND has previously reported on significant doubts about global warming.
Last September, a leading U.S. climate researcher claimed there's a
decade at most left to address global warming before environmental
disaster takes place, but the federal government issued a report showing
the year 1936 had a hotter summer than 2006.
"The average June-August 2006 temperature for the contiguous United
States (based on preliminary data) was 2.4 degrees F (1.3 degrees C)
above the 20th century average of 72.1 degrees F (22.3 degrees C)," said
the NOAA report. "This was the second warmest summer on record, slightly
cooler than the record of 74.7 degrees F set in 1936 during the Dust
Bowl era. This summer's average was 74.5 degrees F. Eight of the past
ten summers have been warmer than the U.S. average for the same period."
WND also reported on NASA-funded study that noted some climate forecasts
might be exaggerating estimations of global warming
