Dr Gabriel Cousens : The Cycle of Global Cooling-Warming—What is Going On! (We are entering a Little Ice Age).

Summary : 

The European Foundation in 2012 released an insightful paper that includes one hundred reasons why climate change is natural and not man-made. (9)  Below are some of the more salient points:

• There is “no real scientific proof” that the current warming is caused by the rise of greenhouse gases from man’s activity.
• Man-made carbon dioxide emissions throughout human history constitute less than 0.00022 % of the total naturally emitted from the mantle of the earth during geological history.
• After World War II, there was a huge surge in recorded CO2 emissions but global temperatures fell for four decades after 1940.
• Throughout the Earth’s history, temperatures have often been warmer than now and CO2 levels have often been higher [at some periods] more than ten times as high.
• Significant changes in climate [cycles] have continually occurred throughout geologic time.
• The 0.7C increase in the average global temperature over the last hundred years is entirely consistent with well-established, long-term, natural climate trends.
• The IPCC theory is driven by just 60 scientists and favorable reviewers, not the 4,000 usually cited.
• Politicians and activists claim rising sea levels are a direct cause of global warming but sea levels rates have been increasing steadily since the last [major] ice age 10,000 ago [without any recent acceleration since 1850, when it began being accurately monitored in New York].
• Philip Stott, Emeritus Professor of Biogeography at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London says climate change is too complicated [and multi-factoral] to be caused by just one factor, whether CO2 or clouds.
• Professor Plimer, Professor of Geology and Earth Sciences at the University of Adelaide, stated that the idea of taking a single trace gas in the atmosphere, accusing it and finding it “guilty of total responsibility” for climate change, is an “absurdity”.
• Despite activist concerns over CO2 levels, CO2 is a minor greenhouse gas, unlike water vapor which is tied to climate concerns, and which we can’t even pretend to control.
• It is claimed the average global temperature increased at a dangerously fast rate in the 20th century but the recent rate of average global temperature rise has been between 1 and 2 degrees C per century, considered within natural rates.
• The IPCC threat of climate change to the world’s species does not make sense as wild species are at least one million years old, which means they have all been through hundreds of climate cycles.
• The biggest climate change ever experienced on earth took place around 700 million years ago.
• The slight increase in temperature which has been observed since 1900 is entirely consistent with well-established, long-term natural climate cycles.
• Accurate satellite, balloon and mountain top observations made over the last three decades have not shown any significant change in the long-term rate of increase in global temperatures.
• Today’s CO2 concentration of around 385 ppm is very low compared to most of the earth’s history – we actually live in a carbon-deficient atmosphere.
• It is a myth that computer models verify that CO2 increases will cause significant global warming because computer models can be made to “verify” anything.
• There is no scientific or statistical evidence whatsoever that global warming will cause more storms and other weather extremes.
• Researchers who compare and contrast climate change impact on civilizations found warm periods are beneficial to mankind and cold periods harmful.
• The increase of the air’s CO2 content has probably helped lengthen human lifespans since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.
• The IPCC alleges that “climate change currently contributes to the global burden of disease and premature deaths” but the evidence shows that higher temperatures and rising CO2 levels has helped [increase the] global populations [and has been associated with less disease].
• William Kininmonth, a former head of the National Climate Centre and a consultant to the World Meteorological Organization, wrote “the likely extent of global temperature rise from a doubling of CO2 is less than 1C. Such warming is well within the envelope of variation experienced during the past 10,000 years and insignificant in the context of glacial cycles during the past million years, when Earth has been predominantly very cold and covered by extensive ice sheets.”
• Richard Lindzen, Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, wrote: “The notion of a static, unchanging climate is foreign to the history of the Earth or any other planet with a fluid envelope. Such hysteria (over global warming) simply represents the scientific illiteracy of much of the public, the susceptibility of the public to the substitution of repetition for truth.”
• A proper analysis of ice core records from the past 650,000 years demonstrates that temperature increases have come before, and not resulted from, increases in CO2 by [up to 800] years.
 • The “Climate-gate” scandal revealed that [the political] scientific team had tampered with their own [temperature] data so as to conceal inconsistencies and errors [and create the illusion of “global warming”].
