A New study from the University of Bristol shows that the airborne fraction of anthropogenic CO2 emissions has stayed approximately constant since 1850. What if there is no carbon to offset?
All that “settled science”, the “consensus” — nevermind. Wolfgang Knorr of the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Bristol in England has followed the data where it led, instead of trying to manipulate it to ” hide the decline” in global temperatures that we have been experiencing for the last decade. Investors Business Daily says:
The new study, published in the online journal Geophysical Research Letters, does not deny that increasing amounts of CO2 have been generated as the world has industrialized, eradicated disease, produced agricultural abundance and improved man’s standard of living. It shows that only 45% of man’s emissions, not 100% as warmers claim, stays in the atmosphere and that includes the carbon emissions of the private jets that flew to Copenhagen last month and the limos that drove the occupants around.
This suggests that the oceans and terrestrial ecosystems have a much greater capacity to absorb CO2 than had been previously expected. The proportion of CO2 that is absorbed has remained constant, even as the amount of CO2 has increased.
Patrick Michaels notes, at World Climate Report that:
In other words, like we have repeated over and over, if the models can’t replicate the past (for the right reasons), they can’t be relied on for producing accurate future projections. And as things now stand, the earth is responding to anthropogenic CO2 emissions in a different (and perhaps better) manner than we thought that it would.
There remains much to learn about why this happens. Scientists derided as “skeptics” or “deniers” (see here) do not deny that there has been warming. They have concluded that the earth’s climate is a result of many complex interactions and processes that are not completely understood. Clouds, solar cycles, cyclical ocean currents and even cosmic rays have been documented as playing a role in the earth’s climate and weather. We don’t understand all this well, but it seems to be normal processes of warming and cooling.
AccuWeather.com chief meteorologist and expert forecaster Joe Bastardi says this could be the worst winter in 25 years. And many regions of the country are reporting record snowstorms.

Pingback by Glaciergate: Global Warming Is Bogus, Just a Money Scam… IPCC Admits Himalayan Glaciers AREN’T Melting Away « Frugal Café Blog Zone January 25, 2010 @ 2:36 amI beleive it is the high satelite freqencies and doppler radars that are over charging the atmosphere. High frequencies will melt ice on a magnetic field. The earth is such a field. Anything above 2 gega hertz is biologically damaging. Look it up in some tech books. Look at all the microwave towers that generate enormus frequencies and heat. More to globle warming than co2 gases. When drilling for oil water should never replace the oil as it is a protective layer to keep the sodium and potassium layers from heating up and exploding. Maybe that”s what happen to the Gulf oil rigg?
