Is There Man Made Global Warming?
(the answer may not be what you expected)
There has now been over 18 years with no measurable atmospheric global warming and a slight cooling in the past 12 years. link I will try to give you the answer to the question "is there global cooling?" As you are well aware there is a huge effort around the globe to counter the alleged impact of mankind on the world's climate. If in fact mankind will cause the seas to rise appreciably by causing CO2 induced global warming then certainly let's do something about it. But, what if global warming is not what they say it is? What if the world's temperature is headed in the opposite direction? Global temperatures increased for twenty years from the late 1970s to the late 1990s but have either stopped warming or have begun to cool in the last seventeen years. The global warming and subsequent cooling were even predictable due to hundreds of years of historical trends and observation of the impact of variations in solar activity and ocean cycles on global temperatures.
Did you know that in the past the Roman Period and Medieval Period were both several degrees warmer than today's temperature. The world then cooled at least four degrees from approx. 1450 to 1850. This period was called the Little Ice Age (a period of glacial advance, the same glaciers that have been in retreat until recently). Global temperatures the past 10,000 years were mostly warmer than today, the trend has been for cooling temperatures and not warming ones.These temperature variations were not caused by man. They were caused entirely by natural forces.

Geoff Pohanka: HOW DID I COME TO QUESTION THE THEORY OF MAN MADE GLOBAL WARMING?
Over fifteen years ago I became very interested in the theory of man made global warming. While attending a convention in California I awoke one morning to the sound of the clock radio next to my bed. A scientist was speaking about climate change, and he asked some very interesting questions. It was Patrick Michael, at that time the Virginia State climatologist and a professor with the University of Virginia. He said some very interesting things about CO2 that were contrary to what one normally heard. *the world was a bit more warm, but it was not any warmer than in the past. It wasn't that high temperatures were any higher than they used to be, but the world was a bit less cold. The warming was on the low side of temperature measurement, not the high side. Summers were not generally any hotter, but the winters were not as cold as they used to be. |
