Professor Wayne Hocking

[H/T to Marc]  University of Western Ontario physics professor Wayne Hocking says it is important to look to the poles – the Arctic and Antarctic poles – to find the truth about global warming and other atmospheric changes.

Images of glaciers crumbling and polar bears walking between cracks in the ice shelf are synonymous with global warming, but Hocking says this only scratches the surface of climatic change. But, he says in order to gain a better understanding of what these changes mean, the atmosphere above the poles are the best place to start.

“I’m not against global warming, but I want people to realize it is only one of many dynamic events that occur in the atmosphere and we need to understand them all,” he says.

Hocking recently presented his polar research to a crowded room at the Physics and Astronomy Colloquium.

The poles are important to study “because there’s no people living there, which makes it easier to monitor. But also, there are many different processes which originate in the poles,” he says.

Belief in the truth of a theory is inversely proportional to the precision of the science.  At least that is what someone called Harris once said.

Modern climate science theory seems to be a case in point with imprecise extrapolation from often poorly understood variables to what have become generally accepted General Circulation Models which many scientists claim can predict future climate.  

But do the leading climate scientists, in particular the United Nation’s IPCC scientists, really believe in this theory? 

Not really. 

As their last big report was being assembled, The Fourth Assessment Report published in 2007, lead authors who asked what they really thought by way of a questionnaire.

Al Gore / AIT Index currently at -.38° F; globally averaged temperatures have dropped since An Inconvenient Truth was released

As we do each month, GORE LIED has marked up Dr. Roy Spencer's monthly UAH Globally Averaged Satellite-Based Temperature of the Lower Troposphere to illustrate Gore's personal inconvenient truth.
