5000 Years Of Climate Change From Greenland Ice Cores
Basic Mistakes of Catastrophic Global Warming Believers
Errors of Logic:
Unusual weather occurrences are not evidence of its cause
Correlation is not causation
An expert’s assertion is not evidence.
Government assertions are not evidence.
Consensus is not evidence
“What else could it be” is not evidence
Ignoring Basic facts:
Man emits 4% of annual CO2 emissions, nature 96%
CO2 causes only 9-
Ice core data show CO2 follows temperature -
Climate is cyclical including short term, 1000 year and longer cycles
Its been warmer in the past (and cooler too.)
There have been more (and less) storms in the past.
There have been more (and less) floods/droughts in the past.
Trillions of dollars are being made from the climate scare.
Errors Interpreting Weather :
Most unprecedented weather is actually not. (weather records go back 100-
First time in 100 years means it is a repeat of 100 years ago.
Climate is extremely variable -
EVIDENCE
Errors of Logic
Unusual weather occurrences are not evidence of its cause -
Correlation is NOT causation.
Here are some false correlations that prove correlation is NOT causation: http://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-
If there is causation, there is correlation. If there is no causation, there might
be aberrant correlation. If there is correlation, there might be causation. If there
is no correlation, there is no causation.-

Correlation does not imply causation

An
expert’s assertion is not evidence. The expert might be wrong, why not look at his
evidence?
Government assertions are not evidence. Governments at all levels are famous for lying.
Consensus is not evidence. This is the same as the two above items. “Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled. “ Michael Crichton.
“What else could it be” is not evidence. This assumes that we know ALL possible

Ignoring Basic facts:
Man emits 4% of annual CO2 emissions, nature 96%
Various sources show different numbers, but here is the NASA version -
http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/CarbonCycle/page1.php
They show man emits 4.3% of the annual emissions (man: 9; nature: 210)

You
can see several swings of 2+ degrees over that period. Since recent temperatures
are negative, we are clearly cooler than those +2.7 & +3 degree times, even if we
have warmed a bit since the end of the data shown.

Radiosonde (weather balloon) data shows no warming

the shorter satellite record.) see: Fig 9 of

Note that the
2017 temperature is less than one degree above hundreds of years ago peak years of
1666, 1686, 1736, 1779, 1834, 1868 and less than 1/2 degree above many of them. That's
not much warming, and too old to be due to man's Co2 emissions! (The usual method
of averaging temperatures hides these peaks and emphasizes later years because the
peaks are closer together in the later years.)
Its been warmer in the past (and cooler too.)
See above section plus this:
Minoan, Egyptian, Roman and Medieval times were probably
warmer than recently.

"With increased National Doppler radar coverage, increasing population, and greater
attention to tornado reporting, there has been an increase in the number of tornado
reports over the past several decades. This can create a misleading appearance of
an increasing trend in tornado frequency. To better understand the variability and
trend in tornado frequency in the United States, the total number of EF-

Isotope rations DO NOT PROVE atmospheric CO2 increase is due to man’s CO2 (Suess Effect)
Examples of similar 13c from before man burned fossil fuels shows this is NOT evidence of man’s origion:
Fig 2) 13C depletion during Holocene Climatic Optimum in the Thar Desert of Northwest India (Enzel et al., 1999).
Fig 3) 13C depletion during Preboreal to Boreal in western Poland (Apolinarska, 2009).
Fig 4) 13C depletion during last interglacial in the Indian Ocean (Banakar, 2005).
Fig 5) 13C rise and depletion across the Little Ice Age in the Yucatan compared to recent 13C depletion in the Coral Sea.
