The Hypothesis That CO2 Vapors Drive Global Temperature Change Is Crumbling As New Theories Gain Credibility

so-hadcrut-chartFrom C3 Headlines

As the monthly empirical evidence keeps pouring in, the AGW hypothesis and climate model simulations that portray atmospheric CO2 levels being the principal driving force behind global temperature change looks weaker and weaker. A growing chorus of scientists worldwide are now saying that the idea that global warming is caused by ‘CO2 vapours’ is a quaint, 1800’s European hypothesis, but severely lacking in any robust, modern empirical evidence.

While the CO2-vapours based AGW hypothesis crumbles in the face of actual climate data, other scientific explanations regarding global temperature change are looking stronger and stronger. One such hypothesis is that the Southern Oscillation (SO) accounts for some 80% of global temperature variance.

    Why is it that just now studies are coming out refuting previous alleged studies that were irrefutable according to IPCC and ole Al Gore? Is something major changing instead of Lemmings following the Gorian Lemmings?

    SO, in simple terms, the planet is doing what it does naturally all by itself!
    So why are the powers that be STILL trying to squeeze more and more cash from us?

    Where is V… He too had been debunked…. The hard core Politicos that were gaining so much power from this hoax will be slow to give up the ghost.

      In your mind. All the while the real elite are LAO all the way to the bank with your money… chump.

    Thanks Devon for your post and welcome back Sir Knot! Devon, they need the money called “grants” which is called “cash.”

    Oh… ok…. you getting deleted is what goes around or comes around…??

    Not as fun without Neil around to tease… ;-(

    Vindictiveness is showing your character.

  12. Rob N. Hood May 8, 2011 at 11:08 am #

    Oh another hypocritial statement from Paul…. wow…. I was being honest. You don’t like, or appreciate, honesty? I thought the Right-wing cornered the market on such behavior, and revered it, correct???!!! So my honesty and innocent and non-attacking comment is somehow BAD? And you all haven’t done the same and worse. Really Paul?

  13. paul wenum May 9, 2011 at 9:51 pm #

    You must “go to the corner” once in awhile. I was chastised and I duly accepted my error in judgment, and you?

  14. Rob N. Hood May 10, 2011 at 7:10 am #

    I said you were being hypocritical… which you were. You’ve accepted criticism rarely and only when backed into a corner so you come off as “adult.” You post many hypocritical statements without even a little bit of cognizance of that, or insight. It’s a character flaw that makes “discourse” difficult if not impossible. Something you could work on, and change, if you took any of this seriously. Just sayin’.

  15. paul wenum May 11, 2011 at 11:11 pm #

    I like discourse face to face over 4-5 pots of coffee into the wee hours. Use to that. That is part of today’s problems. Never happens anymore.

    Some people have to get up ealy to go to work…

  17. paul wenum May 15, 2011 at 8:21 pm #

    You sound normal. Assume everone does.

  18. Rob N. Hood May 16, 2011 at 7:23 am #

    No, not everyone. But I do. But whatever you say Paul. You are correct about everything and make no verbal mistakes.

  19. sunsettommy May 18, 2011 at 7:33 pm #

    LOL,

    I see that nobody can post a viable counterpoint to the posted article from CH3.

    But then again for some of the people.It was known a long time ago.That CO2 does little if any effects to temperature trends.

  20. paul wenum May 18, 2011 at 9:39 pm #

    Excellent, you work. Cool. Someone has to pay taxes to keep our 14 trillion debt down.

  21. paul wenum May 19, 2011 at 9:12 pm #

    Sunsettommy,

    I agree with the C3 articles. It’s just that we have this little inconvenience we seem to have to deal with everytime we post a simple comment.

  22. Rob N. Hood May 20, 2011 at 10:05 am #

    Poor beleaguered Paul. It’s tough being out front defending truth, liberty, and the American way, huh Paul? Such sacrifices we must make… whew!

  23. paul wenum May 22, 2011 at 10:08 pm #

    Yes it is.

  24. Rob N. Hood May 28, 2011 at 6:52 am #

    If the millionaires and billionaires had any humanity left in them, they would appreciate all that you do on their behalf. If.

  25. paul wenum May 28, 2011 at 9:45 pm #

    And that is?

  26. Rob N. Hood May 29, 2011 at 8:36 am #

    Support them… duh.

  27. paul wenum May 29, 2011 at 9:15 pm #

    In my business we take no prisoners.

  28. Rob N. Hood May 30, 2011 at 8:22 am #

    So you are a professional assassin? Wow- very cool. Congrats.

  29. paul wenum May 30, 2011 at 11:25 pm #

    I take no prisoners in discourse. Haven’t lost very often by the way. I just beat you didn’t I. Check mate!

      You two both sound like whining babies.

    Yep, you are the master debater.

  31. paul wenum May 31, 2011 at 6:56 pm #

    You love that word I assume. Good word I quess?

  32. Rob N. Hood June 1, 2011 at 9:45 am #

    For you, it is.

  33. paul wenum June 1, 2011 at 7:05 pm #

    Seem defensive do ya?

  34. Rob N. Hood June 2, 2011 at 10:22 am #

    Yes… sure, a little. Isn’t everyone? Except you…? Nah, not you! You are a paragon of patience, cool logic, and impeccable self-control…

  35. paul wenum June 2, 2011 at 6:24 pm #

    My patience is as long as the day is long as well as my self control and in my business we have skin three inches thick and I never take no for an answer. Patience runs thin when constant dribble/illogical statements and personal assaults are made about our fallen soldiers et al. Then my thick blood and old Scot comes out. Seems it is something that you will never ever experience nor acknowledge based upon my observations.

  36. Rob N. Hood June 3, 2011 at 11:18 am #

    “Personal assualts”??? There was nothing personal about what I said. To see it otherwise is more than strange, but par for the rightwing manner of thinking in a warped way. And we both agree as to the high opinion you have of yourself.

  37. paul wenum June 3, 2011 at 9:05 pm #

    I have a “High regard” for the one’s that served our country to protect you, I and others and they are now all six foot under. They gave their lives for all of us and I find your lack of empathy/sympathy pathetic. Always wondered if you were at the republican convention in St. Paul throwing items at attendees, police others ? Sound similiar to their comments. Left wing liberals never change.

  38. Rob N. Hood June 4, 2011 at 8:43 am #

    WWII is the only war that was truly necessary, besides the Revolutionary. For those soldiers, I do honor.

  39. paul wenum June 4, 2011 at 8:59 pm #

    Tell that to the ones that have served since. Your comments are repulsive and I normally don’t state my full thoughts but you have dishonored thousands upon thousands that have died so you can make your childish statement. It is quite apparent that you have never been in any other country other than here. Consider yourself luck and that is a factual statement. As previously stated, Soros and his minions are teaching our young ones well in attempting to make us like the EU and you are a classic example.

  42. paul wenum June 7, 2011 at 11:18 pm #

    You bore me. Bye.

  43. Rob N. Hood June 8, 2011 at 5:28 am #

    I’m so sorry Paul. I thought you liked discourse….or so you’ve said many times- except however, it seems, when it is challenging and threatening to your rigid and narrow belief system. But isn’t that when substantial discourse is possible? Guess not.

  44. paul wenum June 8, 2011 at 7:39 pm #

    When having discourse with a Soros wonk, you quess correct.

  45. Rob N. Hood June 9, 2011 at 5:43 am #

    Lame deluded excuse.

  46. paul wenum June 10, 2011 at 8:44 pm #

    Same as your response. Climate change is a natural occurance as previously stated and in prior posts.

  47. Rob N. Hood June 29, 2011 at 9:21 am #

    Oh, ok then. Case closed cuz Paul and Neil and Jerk say so.

  48. paul wenum June 29, 2011 at 8:41 pm #

    You are starting to bore me. Isn’t there another clone available that has a better counter-point comeback?

  49. Rob N. Hood June 30, 2011 at 8:13 am #

    You and me both. This is very boring. That is why I am done.
