Every month we have enough material to return to a continuing theme in this blog, namely that “I am a global warming doubter AND a believer in science.” This became of interest because of people like Al Gore who fanatically and verbosely claimed that you had to be an idiot to not believe in manmade global warming. It has been my life belief that anyone that is that loud and that obnoxious is hiding something, that rather than argue facts and reality it is better to beat down and insult anyone who disagrees.
As we have dove into the whole issue of manmade global warming, or its new rebranded title of climate change, we found that Al Gore and people like him were guilty of a number of things:
- Ignoring science and realities that did not support their opinions and positions.
- Rather than have an adult conversation about climate, these types of advocates like Gore sank to the level of insulting those who dared look at ALL science by calling them a variety of names including racists, homophobes, terrorists, flat earth believers, and other slanderous names.
- Continuing to insist that politicians step up their intrusions into our lives with higher taxes, more regulations, and more control on our freedoms and standards of living based on a shaky theory at best.
To see the past posts and the multitude of evidence that we have compiled that showed it is perfectly okay to be a global warming doubter and a believer in science, enter the phrase "global warming doubter” in the search box above or go through the monthly historical post listed on the right side of this page.
Thus, let’s see the latest facts and science that prove you can be a global warming doubter and a believer in science, regardless of what Al Gore proclaims.
1) We have previously discussed the reality and research done by the CERN Institute, the premier scientific research facility in the world. Their research found that the warming and cooling of the Earth could be proven to be in a causation relationship with the activity on the sun’s surface, that Earth’s warming and cooling had nothing to do with mankind and its carbon footprint. That discussion can be accessed at:
And now there has been more research completed that helps verify the CERN findings, as discussed in a recent article on the Self Reliance website:
- Valentina Zharkova is a Russian scientist and professor who teaches in England at the University of Northumbria.
- Apparently, she was one of the few scientists that predicted that the solar cycle 24 would be weaker than the solar cycle 23, being one of only two out of 150 who got it correct, giving her some scientific cred.
- According to the article, Ms. Zharkovais has a success rate of over 90% in her forecasts.
- Based on her research relative to the sun and its behavior, she predicts a coming “little” Ice Age that will begin in 2020 and run for about 350-400 years.
- The article points out that the last time Earth experienced an ice age, two of the magnetic fields of the sun went out of phase.
- This time, apparently, all four magnetic fields of the sun are out of phase leading her to conclude that an Ice Age is coming.
- According to the article: “A ‘Little Ice Age’ which caused severe winters in the 17th Century could return in five years’ time due to a predicted fall in solar activity. This possibility was discussed during the National Astronomy Meeting in Llandudno, Wales, by Prof Valentina Zharkova…[who] described the research as ‘the first serious prediction of a reduction of solar activity that might affect human lives’. If the decrease in solar activity takes place, it could result in a period similar to the ‘Maunder minimum’ of 1645 to 1700. During this period, there were only about 50 sunspots on the surface of the Sun instead of the usual 40-50 thousand, resulting in very severe winters and cold summers.”
- During this previous “little” Ice Age, major rivers around the world froze including the Moscow River which was frozen for six months every year.
I will not go into the scientific details that the article lays out but the professor’s research can be accessed at:
I am not a solar scientist expert but from reading what the professor and her team have done, it appears to be very sound, reasonable and good research based on actual realities and numbers. It also supports the work that CERN did about a decade ago. And the beauty of her research is that we do not have to wait decades to see if her research was right, she says things are going to start to cool down next year.
This is the opposite we have always had to do with global warming advocate research and forecasts. These are always in the Chicken Little mode, i.e. if we do not take radical steps now we will all die in 10/20/30 years. Given that 10/20/30 years later these global warming advocate forecasts all proved to be wrong, why not take a hard look at Ms. Zharkova’s research and forecasts and the CERN work in tandem, because, really, how much worse could they be than the total failure of global warming advocates’ predictions?
2) One of the favorite doomsday scenarios of global warming advocates is that excessive use of carbon energy sources by mankind will result in the melting of the ice caps, which will flood coastal areas around the world. Thus, we need to take draconian and very expensive steps to reduce our use of carbon based fuels.
But recent NASA studies dispute the fear that the ice caps are melting at a dramatic rate as a result of manmade global warming and may actually be increasing in size:
- A NASA research study published in October, 2015 by NASA Glaciologist Jay Zwally concluded that the south pole is actually gaining ice mass, not losing it as predicted by global warming advocates.
- Specifically: “A new NASA study says that an increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers. The research challenges the conclusions of other studies, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) 2013 report, which says that Antarctica is overall losing land ice."
- A soon to be published follow up study by Zwally also reaches the same conclusions, that Antarctica is gaining ice mass, not losing it.
- Another study by NASA, published on January 1, 2018, showed that West Antarctica has been gaining ice mass for many years.
- And yet a third NASA study that was published on July 19, 2018 found that the south pole has been steadily cooling and not warming for many years.
- And finally, a fourth NASA study, published on February 20, 2018, concluded that the volume of glaciers in East Antarctica sliding into the ocean has not been increasing over time but has been stable, counter to what global warming advocates predicted...and hoped for.
- While the ice mass of the south pole may be changing from one side to the other, the total amount of ice mass appears to be increasing and not decreasing, contrary to global warming forecasts.
- And it is not just NASA that is upending ice cap forecasts and causes.
- A recent research study by Rhode Island scientists found that volcanic activity underneath the western part of Antarctica may be the cause of the shifting ice mass, not man made global warming.
- Another NASA study also studied volcanic activity, this time under Greenland’s glaciers, and found similar results to the Rhode Island south pole research that glacier melting activity may be geological and not manmade.
The above referenced studies were compiled in the following article which has a ton of links to the actual research results:
Another day another set of reasons, courtesy of real scientists doing real research unburdened by politicians’ pipe dreams, to prove once again it is perfectly logical to be a global warming doubter and a believer in science.
