First of all, their pseudo-science. They start from the real truth that the earth is heating up and use some valid geological science that shows that in the past when the earth heated up, the carbon dioxide concentrations also rose. The problem is that they have no proof from the geological record to show that the carbon dioxide went up first and is therefore the cause of the rise in temperature. They performed a few closed system gas chamber lab experiments that they claim as proof, but the faults in the experiments are that it was a closed system, so it doesn’t allow for the natural absorption of carbon dioxide by the earth’s vegetation and in order to get the kind of temperature increased recorded in the fossil record, they have to use carbon dioxide concentrations that would be lethal to most animal life. However, they refused to acknowledge that while the historical and archeological record shows a cyclic pattern of planetary heating and cooling, it doesn’t record a corresponding cycle of carbon dioxide levels high enough to cause mass extinctions.

 

The next problem is that they took the closed system data and made a computer model, in which they started from the assumption that all of the increased carbon dioxide was the result of human activity. This completely ignores the contribution from 15 to 18 major volcanic eruptions (three of which are currently ongoing), during the last 100 years. This is up from the 10 to12 of the previous 100 years. Each of those volcanoes is putting out, as much carbon dioxide every 24 hours, as the whole of America puts out in one year, making the human contribution to the carbon dioxide increase mathematically minute.

 

The final flaw in their science is that when confronted with the fact that the earth is actually warming up faster than the computer model predicted, (and faster than the real carbon dioxide levels would predict using the model) they have continued to ignore the naturally occurring carbon dioxide and are now busy searching for some other man made ‘green house gas’. Right now, they are concentrating on methane but again they are ignoring the naturally occurring sources, primarily again volcanoes and all the ruminate animals (cows). For me, the very fact that they are obsessed with finding proof that all the ‘green house gases’ are man made, shows there is a bias in their thinking.  Read rest...
