The Great Global Warming Hoax? We're reminded of an earlier story, which happened back in 1912. This was the amazing discovery of a skull and jawbone in which was quickly named the Piltdown Man and which all the world's archaeologists immediately accepted as a hitherto unknown form of early human. It appears no one bothered to examine it closely, assuming that other scientists had thoroughly investigated and vetted it. The hoax wasn't uncovered until 1953, when it was learned that the skull was that of a modern man and the jaw that of an orangutan. Seems no one had ever bothered to take a really close look at the artifact. Well, folks, it does appear we have a new, 21st Century Piltdown Man, and this time we know his name. He's called "Anthropogenic Global Warming." Global warming is a hoax. This whole global warming thing is a hoax. French President Jacques Chirac has let the cat out of the bag. He warned that if the United States did not sign the Kyoto climate protocol agreements, a carbon tax on goods could be imposed to try to force compliance. A long time ago, I laughed when someone told me the government would eventually tax everything, including the air we breathe. A carbon tax is putting a price on carbon dioxide emissions — essentially, taxing those emissions. A False Frenzy on Global Warming. In a remarkable speech before the San Diego Chamber of Commerce, [John] Coleman was very serious about global warming as the consummate fraud. He began by saying that we should give credit where credit is due. There is, he said, an intrinsic connection between Al Gore's campaign for global warming and $4 per gallon gasoline. "It comes down to … the claim that carbon dioxide in the exhaust from your car and in the smoke stacks of our power plants is destroying the climate of planet earth. What an amazing fraud; what a scam." Powerful Documentary Trounces Man-Made Warming Hoax. An astounding documentary that was broadcast in the UK [3/8/2007] completely trounced the man-made explanation for global warming, not with emotionally-laden propaganda or by attacking the messenger as its adherants resort to, but by presenting carefully considered and rational science. The Great Global Warming Swindle brought together a plethora of scientists, professors, climatologists and weather experts to expose the myths about climate change that have been promulgated in order to hoodwink the world into accepting the man-made theory of global warming. The great carbon con: Can offsetting really help to save the planet? For the environmental groups Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth, this forestry offsetting craze is acting as a smokescreen, and detracting from real solutions to escalating emissions. "Taking a dodgy accounting proposition, which is that you can somehow identify the amount of carbon that any given new bit of forest picks up out of the atmosphere and sequesters, and make that correspond somehow to emissions elsewhere," is how Greenpeace sees carbon offsetting, according to its senior climate adviser Charlie Kronick. Stop the CO2 scare, before it's too late. The significance of this can scarcely be overestimated. At just the moment when, thanks to the overwhelming pressure generated by the IPCC, the world's politicians, led by the EU, are committing us to spending untold trillions of pounds, dollars and euros on measures to "mitigate" the claimed effects of man-made warming, here is a galaxy of experts producing hard evidence that — if the problem exists at all — the official explanation for it is oriented in wholly the wrong direction. This was written in June 1998 ... Global Deception: The Exaggeration of the Global Warming Threat. The basis for belief that increased global warming intensifies hurricanes is a single paper. The assumptions in the paper were quite unrealistic — including the physically incorrect notion that hurricanes do not cool the oceans over which they pass. A subsequent review article found no basis for an expectation of major changes in hurricane severity. The Anatomy Of A Hoax: Hoaxes have always been around. People have fallen for them en masse for centuries. In the recent past, we had an Ice Age scare in the 70's, then we proceeded to an overpopulation scare, then there was Y2K and now Global Warming. Remember the Hole In The Ozone Layer? Has that been fixed or did it just go away or was it a natural, reoccurring phenomenon? What is it about hoaxes that overwhelm great numbers of people with panic and sends them running off to spend money and do the bidding of the huckster? N.J. Legislator Says Global-Warming Regs Blown Away by New Scientific Data. Following the end of the sun's most active period in more than 11,000 years, the past 10 years have displayed a clear cooling trend as temperatures post-1998 leveled out and are now decreasing. Earlier this year, prominent meteorologist John Coleman, founder of The Weather Channel, stated that manmade global warming is "the greatest scam in history," adding, "I am amazed, appalled, and highly offended by it. Global warming; it is a scam." Coleman said the theory of global warming is based on fraudulent science. Global Warming is a Hoax. The majority of warming seen in the past occurred before 1940, and the remained of the climate model does not predict a drastic future warming. The warming before 1940 occurred much before our large scale use of carbon fossil fuels and could easily be attributed to natural warming of the earth from a natural cooling period. This pre-1940 warming accounts for 2/3 of the increase in global mean temperature observed up to 1997. Additionally, the evidence from the NASA satellites indicates that no significant warming has occurred since 1979. The Global Warming Hoax: Global warming is a classic scare campaign initiated by the Greens after a previous effort in the 1970s to influence public policy by declaring a coming Ice Age failed to generate any response. What we are seeing now is yet another worldwide coordinated campaign by the Greens to rescue the global warming theory from the junk heap to which it should be consigned. The Global Warming Scam: The Global Warming Scam has been perpetrated in order to support the Environmentalist belief that the earth is being harmed by the emission of greenhouse gases from the combustion of fossil fuels. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was set up to provide evidence for this belief. They have published four major Reports which are widely considered to have proved it to be true. This paper examines the evidence in detail and shows that none of the evidence presented confirms a relationship between emissions of greenhouse gases and any harmful effect on the climate. It is the result of 18 years of scrutiny and comment on IPCC Reports and of a study of the scientific literature associated with it. In order to establish a relationship between human emissions of greenhouse gases and any influence on the climate, it is necessary to solve three problems: • To determine the average temperature of the earth and show that it is increasing • To measure the concentrations of greenhouse gases everywhere in the atmosphere • To reliably predict changes in future climate None of these problems has been solved. The Year the Global Warming Hoax Died. The hoax has mainly been a creation of the United Nations Environmental Program and took off in earnest with the 1992 Earth Summit. It culminated in 1997 with the Kyoto Climate Control Protocol, an agreement to reduce the generation of carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse" gas (CO2) said to be the cause of an accelerated warming of the earth. … Few, if any, nations have ever met the limits that require reductions in CO2 production, attributed to the use of so-called "fossil fuels" such as oil, natural gas, and coal. Don't print propaganda on global warming. These distortions and half-truths are meant for only one purpose: to scare people into doing something irrational like spending trillions of dollars for very minimal gain, cripple the economy with carbon restrictions and greatly expand government. Global warming is a hoax, invented in 1988 that combines old myths including limits to growth, sustainability, the population growth time bomb, the depletion of resources, pollution, anti-Americanism and anti-corporate sentiment and, of all things, fear of an ice age. Those that espoused and supported the old myths have joined forced into a new group called "Environmentalists." Most environmentalists have no technical or scientific credentials whatsoever. What they have are major news outlets ready and willing to publicize their every utterance regardless of whether or not they are backed up by scientific proof. Global-warming myth. On May Day, Noah Keenlyside of Germany's Leipzig Institute of Marine Science, published a paper in Nature forecasting no additional global warming "over the next decade." Al Gore and his minions continue to chant that "the science is settled" on global warming, but the only thing settled is that there has not been any since 1998. Global Warming: The All-Purpose Farce to Control Your Life. The Democrats (a.k.a. global warming wimps) have found the rhetorical weapon they will use for at least the next decade to decrease your liberty while increasing their power, and that weapon is the hysteria over global warming. … Environmental doomsaying is one of the most powerful tactics that liberals use to obtain and wield power. At its heart, the Democrat Party is a coalition of interest groups that feed at the trough of the government. The more power the politicians and bureaucrats have, the more contracts and benefits the groups can gobble up. Ultra-Rich Cash In On Global Warming Hoax. The federal government long ago imposed standards on how much mileage a car or truck must have for each gallon of gas consumed and has since mandated that each gallon must include the engine-destroying, energy-poor addition of ethanol. The ethanol mandate has created higher prices for food as corn and wheat supplies diminish. This is … the same government contemplating declaring the thriving polar bear population "endangered" for the sole purpose of putting areas off limits that are believed to be rich in new oil reserves, not unlike the prohibition on extracting oil from ANWR. Anatomy of a Hoax: Money may be the mother's milk of politics, but self-righteous hysteria is its drug of choice. That is worth remembering, as the UN releases the report of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and headlines begin to trumpet that global warming is "settled science" or "solid science" and that the role of human beings in creating global warming ("climate change," these days, note the change) cannot be denied. This was written in 1998: Latest Science Debunks Global Warming Hysteria. Carbon dioxide is increasing in the atmosphere at a rate below that of most climate-change scenarios because it is being increasingly captured by growing vegetation. The second most important human greenhouse enhancer — methane — is not likely to increase appreciably in the next 100 years. And perhaps most important, the direct warming effect of carbon dioxide was overestimated. Even global warming alarmists in the scientific establishment now say that the Kyoto Protocol will have no discernible impact on global climate. Lord Lawson claims climate change hysteria heralds a 'new age of unreason'. One huge gap in the IPCC's thinking, Lord Lawson suggests, is that "it fails almost completely to take account of the capacity of human beings to adapt to changing temperatures — as we can see from comparing Finland with Singapore, two of the world's most successful economies. In the first, people manage to live happily with an average annual temperature of 5°C; in the second, they can cope with an average of 27°C." Global Warming Lies Create a Climate of Crisis. There is no dramatic warming occurring. Predictions of this are based on totally flawed computer models, none of which can begin to approximate the sheer chaos and complexity of the Earth's weather system. These computer models, put forth by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Control, have been repeatedly revealed to be inaccurate to the point of deliberate deception. The constant assertion that there is a "consensus" among scientists that global warming is caused by humans is yet another part of the lie. Carbon Dioxide and the "Climate Crisis" — Reality or Illusion? James Hansen, Director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, similarly claims that the earth "is close to dangerous climate change, to tipping points of the system with the potential for irreversible deleterious effects," and he contends that "ignoring the climate problem at this time, for even another decade, would serve to lock in future catastrophic climatic change." Do these dire contentions reflect reality? Or do they portray but a marvelously-crafted and hugely-effective illusion? The Hockey Stick scam that heightened global warming hysteria: By the time of the 2001 IPCC Third Assessment Report (TAR), the politics and hysteria about climate change had risen to a level that demanded clear evidence of a human signal. An entire industry had developed round massive funding from government. A large number of academic, political, and bureaucratic careers had evolved and depended on expansion of the evidence Weather Channel Founder: Global Warming 'Greatest Scam in History'. John Coleman, founder of the Weather Channel, has written an article in which he calls the idea of man-made global warming 'a scam." The Year the Global Warming Hoax Died: When did the global warming hoax die? Historians are likely to pinpoint 2007. It will take another decade to ensure it cannot be revived, but the avalanche of scientific studies and the cumulative impact of scientists who have publicly joined those who debunked the lies on which it has been based will be noted as the tipping point. The Global Warming Hoax: Yes, the Earth's surface has warmed a bit over the past century, but is that warming caused mainly by humans or by natural cycles? And can changes in human activity — specifically reductions in carbon-dioxide emissions — have anything more than a tiny effect on temperature? The answers to those questions, which are at the heart of the Kyoto Protocol and other attempts to force cuts in energy use, are simply unknown. It is the claim of certainty that is a hoax. It's a dangerous one, too, since using global-warming theory as the basis for extreme policy mandates could plunge the world into a long-term recession or even a depression. Global Warming Hysteria: According to the Detroit Free Press, Rep. John Dingell … wants to eliminate the mortgage tax deduction on what he calls "McMansions," homes that are 3,000 square feet and larger. That's because larger homes use more energy. … The full agenda is to start out with 3,000 square feet and later lower it in increments. Our buying into global warming hysteria will allow politicians to do just about anything, upon which they can muster a majority vote, in the name of fighting climate change as a means to raise taxes. Debunking Gore's 'consensus' hoax. This new book by Lawrence Solomon who wrote a series of articles in Canada's NATIONAL POST about eminent "deniers" of Climate Alarmism has discovered there were so many such individuals he had to write a book to document them all. Global Warming and Other Urban Legends. [Scroll down] The other big lie that's caught on in a big way is global warming. I suspect this is strictly an urban legend because in rural America, farmers have the experience and the common sense to recognize the cyclical nature of climate. … What I find so fascinating about it is that Al Gore's disciples are able to explain all types of weather as a result of it. Let's put a freeze on global warming hype. Exactly 31 years ago tomorrow [4/28/2006] Newsweek carried a story that predicted a rapidly cooling world that would result in a "drastic decline in food production — with serious political implications for just about every nation on Earth." Hmmmm? It's the same doom and gloom scenario we hear today except turned on its ear —now, however, it's not about devastation caused by cooling but rather by global warming. Global warming debunked. Climate change will be considered a joke in five years time, meteorologist Augie Auer told the annual meeting of Mid Canterbury Federated Farmers in Ashburton this week. Man's contribution to the greenhouse gases was so small we couldn't change the climate if we tried, he maintained. "We're all going to survive this. It's all going to be a joke in five years," he said. A little warming, a lot of hysteria. The debate was supposed to be over by now, but it's not. … Al [Gore] and proponents of global warming argue that whatever bad happens, happens because of the greed of man, and mostly Americans at that. Icebergs floating too far south? Man did it. Torrential rains in Monument Valley? Blame it on global warming. A drought in Tacoma-Seattle? Fog in Phoenix? Man set fire to the globe. Keep it scary, and keep it coming. The end of the world — according to Gore. "Less than 10 years." That, Gore warns, is all the time that "leading scientists" say we may have "before we cross a point of no return" — unless we make a "really good start toward dramatic changes" to combat global warming. A Culture War of Words: If anybody doubts America is engaged in a culture war and losing it they need only to take a look at the series of concerts promoting Al Gore's global warming hoax last weekend. They would have learned that the war is being waged in the sewers. America is facing an army of foul-mouthed, tattooed guttersnipes who have the gall to proclaim they want to save the planet by putting on performances laced with some of the foulest language ever heard from a stage. "Global warming" hype reaches fever pitch. "The wealth of the United States is, and has always been, the target," says Tom DeWeese, president of the American Policy Center. "The new scheme to grab the loot is through environmental scare tactics." Most Preposterous Claim Ever: [Scroll down] There is no such study. The [National Academy of Sciences] did not conduct such a survey. This is either a complete fabrication or a massive confusion. Water Companies Present Flawed, Biased Study to Demand More Funds. The Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies (AMWA) has spent $60,000 in taxpayer funds on a biased, laughable study claiming global warming entitles water companies to more federal tax dollars. To provide cover for its attempt to hop on board the global warming gravy train, AMWA contracted with a consulting firm guaranteed to deliver AMWA's pre-determined outcome. Fiction fuels global warming. Since facts and science can't seem to debunk the faulty notion of global warming being caused by humans, perhaps fiction can. Virtually every month, new reports by the world's top climate scientists debunk the correlation between increasing CO2 emissions and the warming of the Earth. Climate Alarmists are Playing a Shell Game with Data. I have spent much of the past two years analyzing and reconstructing some of the basic studies used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to support their conclusions about global warming and in turn to promote policies on climate change. My conclusion … is that the major science journals and organizations lag far behind the corporate world in ensuring the quality of researchers' data. Another False Alarm on Global Warming: Global warming alarmists are once again saying a "new study" has proven them to be right. But once again, the study they are citing is inconclusive. Alarmist Activists Claim Global Warming is Simultaneously Baking and Freezing Europe. Europe is simultaneously baking and freezing, and will continue to do so as a result of global warming, alarmists asserted in global media reports in November 2005. The two theories upon which the claims were made were promptly debunked by climate scientists. Don't be fooled; a green CIA won't root out the terrorists. In the 2008 intelligence authorization bill, just passed by the House of Representatives, the directorate of national intelligence or "DNI" (also known as the "intelligence czar") has a new job — to develop within the next nine months a top-level paper laying out the "anticipated geopolitical effects of climate change and the implications of such effects on the national security of the United States." Global Warming Heresy: Manmade carbon dioxide emissions are roughly 5 percent of the total; the rest are from natural sources such as volcanoes, dying vegetation and animals. Annually, volcanoes alone produce more carbon dioxide than all of mankind's activities. Oceans are responsible for most greenhouse gases. ... The bottom line is, the bulk of scientific evidence shows that what we've been told by environmentalists is pure bunk. The climate scare: The earth has warmed about one degree in the past 100 years. Climate changes. It always has. I reported on the real warming trend in my TV special, "Tampering With Nature." The real question is whether the warming is a "crisis," and whether trying to "fix" it will help or just wreck the lives of the poor. Global Warming Myths. I think most people, whether they know anything about the science involved, have decided that more than twenty years of lies about "global warming" have failed to demonstrate it is happening or likely to occur any time soon. ... Disdain and contempt for human life is the rampant theme of environmentalism. You are still more likely to be threatened by a raging hurricane or a blizzard than from SUV's, pesticides, or the use of coal, oil and natural gas to light, warm or cool your home or apartment. The Myth of Dangerous Human-Caused Climate Change: Human-caused global warming has become the environmental cause celebre of the early 21st century. The strong warming alarmist camp currently includes the United Nations, most Western governments, most of the free press, many large corporations (including Enron, before it failed), the major churches, most scientific organisations and a large portion of general public opinion. This phalanx of support notwithstanding there is no scientific consensus as to the danger of human-induced climate change. There is, therefore, a strong conflict between the level of public alarm and its scientific justification. How can this be? Junk Science: Nature and Maple Syrup. In the spring of 2004, the Boston Globe and Associated Press created a sensation by reporting that global and regional warming are affecting maple syrup production and will eventually spell disaster for maple syrup farmers. The Globe's report was based largely on anecdotal reporting of people's memories. New Science Quiets the Alarm Over Global Warming. We need to review the basic assumptions that have driven our climate-change policy over the last five to 10 years. Global-Warming Swindle: Hysterics exposed. There is no question that the globe is warming but it has warmed and cooled before, and is not as warm today as it was some centuries ago, before there were any automobiles and before there was as much burning of fossil fuels as today. None of the dire things predicted today happened then. Environmental hysterics: Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley recently warned that failure to take action on global warming could mean the extinction of the human race. Over the last few years, we've been repeatedly warned we are in the midst of a climate crisis that threatens our survival. Al Gore calls it a "planetary emergency." We might take this concern more seriously if the doom-mongering wing of the environmental movement weren't burdened by a long history of false prophecies. … So, please excuse my skepticism when you claim global warming means the end of the world is nigh. I have heard it all before. The "crisis of the month": Global warming. The list of supposedly pending disasters is a long one: Besides global warming, there is ozone depletion, acid rain, radiation, pesticides, toxic chemicals, hazardous waste, and many more. These possible hazards attract far more attention than does the progress being made in air and water quality. Yet in case after case, the warnings of impending disaster are exaggerated. Exaggerating the dangers of global warming: At some point during their recent years of impotence, a crack team of Democratic strategists retreated to a backroom to kick around possible issues. They pondered. What's as scary as 9/11 but scarier? What's just inaccessible enough to average Americans that they won't question it? What will cause people to say 'the scientific community' a lot? Let me throw in one fact before you crumple this paper up and place it in the nearest recycling bin: global warming exists. But it's not that big of a deal. Revisiting the Global Warming Hoax: Little known to the public is the fact that most of the scientists involved with the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change do not agree that global warming is occurring. Instead, its findings have been consistently misrepresented and/or politicized with each succeeding report. Weather reports that the global-warming alarmists rather would neither have published nor read. The press corps covers global warming: I've believed for years and years that global warming is a hoax perpetrated on the political world by Malthusian Greenies whose hidden agenda is a smaller world population and falling standards of living. Yawn - It's Just Political Scientists. Politics distorts science, particularly environmental science, because 99.99 percent of those sciences' financial support comes from the federal government. Scientists distort science because their careers depend on the money they bring to their university or their laboratory. Both the employees of the academy, and the academy itself, must support a political process that results in the exaggeration of threats. In competition for a finite federal outlay, scientists present their particular issues (global warming, cancer, AIDS) in the most urgent light possible, threatening societal ruin if their work isn't funded. Hot and Cold Running Alarmism: Not so long ago "global cooling" was the preferred theory of environmental doomsayers. Ten Things Everyone Ought To Know About Global Warming: With all the hype about global warming and climate disasters filling the journals and air waves, here are some facts that need to be more widely known. Sunny Cali-fear-nia: According to Assemblywoman Fran Pavley (D-Woodland Hills), "Unless we act, California will experience heat waves, droughts, floods and forest fires that could devastate the economy of the state, including agriculture, fishing, timber, real estate, insurance, construction and tourism." Global Warming Models Labeled "Fairy Tale" By Team of Scientists: A team of international scientists Monday [5/13/2002] said climate models showing global warming are based on a "fairy tale" of computer projections. The scientists met on Capitol Hill to expose what they see as a dearth of scientific evidence about global warming. Coloring Climate Change : To get a sense of how compromised and politicized climate science has become, you don't have to look far. Just examine the lengths to which key documents were doctored to distort public perceptions. Watson Indulges in Scare Tactics ... Again. Predicting an 11°F temperature rise in 100 years, the IPCC's new Policymakers Summary is the product of the most extreme climate model run under the most extreme set of future emission scenarios. Global warming science uncertain: National Academy of Sciences finds warming, but no link to human activity. Global warming hot air: The global warming scare was played up by the media when the National Academy of Sciences issued a report on June 6 that said the earth's temperature is rising, mainly because of human actions, and that this could cause drastic climatic changes. The news stories and the editorials they inspired cited no empirical evidence that would support the claim that the earth's atmosphere is getting warmer and that this is likely to continue throughout this century. Myths and Meteorology: Like the Clinton administration before it, the Bush administration supports international efforts to curb global warming. Yet the evidence indicates that the earth is not overheating. Global Warming Is a Global Scare Tactic. Yes, the earth has and will go through periods of warming and cooling, but the overwhelming empirical scientific data indicates those cycles (and they are a process not an event) are a function of solar cycles … not greenhouse gases or your SUV. The global-warming hysterics strike again. The media can be depended on to ferret out and wildly overhype any potential negative development that any so-called scientist is willing to predict and deplore. Remember "acid rain"? … We had barely had time to digest this awful news when the same media introduced us to the ghastly phenomenon called the "ozone hole," … The subsequent news that the ozone hole was actually diminishing was lost in the gratifying burst of terror over the discovery of global warming. Careful Review of Science Refutes Global Warming Myths. With their new book, Unstoppable Global Warming Every 1500 Years, S. Fred Singer and Dennis T. Avery skewer all the misinformation that has been used for so long in an attempt to convince society that mankind is the root cause of all global climate change. The book is truly amazing! It meticulously supports, with hundreds of detailed, published references, the clear facts and conclusions that the Earth's climate has been traveling a well-defined rollercoaster path of temperature change for at least 900,000 years. Debunking global warming myths: Expert after expert in this film blasts craters into the theory that CO2 — which only makes up 0.054% of the earth's atmosphere — has ever driven climate. Ice core records, in fact, prove the opposite, that CO2 lags warming by as much as 800 years. The main cause of warming is, not surprisingly, the sun. Global warming labeled a 'scam'. With a packet of claims that are almost certain to defy conventional wisdom, a television documentary to be aired in Britain this week condemns man-made global warming as a myth that has become "the biggest scam of modern times." Media Promote Global Warming Fraud. On the matter of global intervention to stop global warming, there seems to be no need for scientific evidence to justify what is shaping up as a global carbon tax of 35 cents a gallon of gas on the American people. Our media want the public to believe that the same organization that gave us the oil-for-food scandal can be trusted on its dire predictions of calamity from alleged man-made global warming. The Global Warming Fraud: More Inconvenient Truths. [Al] Gore erroneously assumes that current conditions on earth are the natural state. Even a cursory study of the earth would reveal that nothing related to the earth is constant. Continents move, the oceans rise and fall, glaciers advance and retreat, the magnetic poles have moved and reversed, the composition of the atmosphere has varied and the earth's temperature has warmed and cooled. All of these events occurred without any human influence. Cap-and-trade fraud. The costs of reducing [greenhouse-gas emissions] through cap-andtrade regulations are not trivial. If implemented, cap-and-trade policies would add significant costs to production and would likely have a severe negative impact on long-term U.S. growth, an amount we estimate at $10,800 per family. Global Warming Hoax Continued. The new Democrat majority in Congress has decided to flex its muscle on global warming. Prior to this month [January 2007] the most Democrats could do was spout their spurious climate change charges and hope someone would listen. Now they can drive public policy. This is a real shame, because there are real world consequences in fighting a threat that doesn't exist. The Great Global Warming Swindle: Observations in ice cores show that temperature increases have preceded — not resulted from — increases in CO2, by hundreds of years, suggesting that the warming of the oceans is an important source of the rise in atmospheric CO2. As the dominant greenhouse gas, water vapor is far, far more important than CO2, yet not well handled by climate models — and, in any case, not within our control.
