The Global Warming Sceptic

version 2.2 14 Feb 2009

Please take a step back, and stay cool for a moment. Shut your ears off from the deafening cries and shouts of the global warming advocates, and sharpen your mind. Try to answer the questions outlined in the papers given hereafter, and be open for good reasoning: these pages might make you think again, and wonder, if the mobiles of all these climate catastrophers are pure ....

Working for clean air and an unpolluted atmosphere is a laudable aim, but forgetting to compare the magnitude of man-made pollutants to the natural sources, or having an absolute faith in measurement data of often dubious origin, is unscientific at least, and foolish certainly. The climate is "the changing state of the atmosphere", so do not expect a steady state situation. Do not forget either that the sun is the engine which drives everything, and that the output of that engine is in constant change!

Warum ich Optimist geworden bin.		Absolute must-watch video of a speech by Michael Miersch (in German, Feb.2013)
Germany's Energy transition Experiment		Germany's Energiewende: Read this sober and well written article in POWER magazine.
In Defense of Carbon Dioxide		Excellent article by former astronaut H. Schmitt and physics professor W. Happer: (WSJ online, 08 May 2013)
Double Standards in Climate Change		Four University professors from Belgium and the Netherlands : "The public and politicians must be informed about the hypothetical character of the predominant ‘consensus’ on climate change, which has been uncritically disseminated in the media for more than ten years". Interview (in French) with Alain Préat, geology professor at the ULB and one of these 4 scientists. Presentation by Istvan Marko: "Le changement climatique, pourquoi tant de passions?" (2012)
System Effects in Low-carbon Electricity Systems		OECD 2012 report (executive summary): "It is important to ensure the transparency of power generation costs at the system level when making policy decisions"
Climatologists are no Einsteins, says his successor.		Read this article (with videos) on the great global warming skeptic, the Princeton physics professor Freeman Dyson. Speaking of CO2: "The vegation is commanding what's going on in the atmosphere".
Household Solar Photovoltaics: Supplier of Marginal Abatement, or Primary Source of Low-Emission Power?		Excellent Australian research paper by Graham Palmer on household photovoltaics (in Sustainability, March 2013): "Even with declining module costs, PV is not likely to be among the cheapest ways to abate emissions for the foreseeable future "
Das sozialistische Solar-Desaster		Read this acide critique by Dr. Wolfram Weimer in the "Handeslblatt online" (03 May 2013): "Eine absahnende Szene aus Förderantragsexperten, Anlagenbauern und Subventionsverteilern hat sich in diesem öko-industriellen Sozialismus gut eingerichtet"
The disgraceful episode of Lysenkoism brings us global-warming theory		Read this article in Forbes by Peter Ferrara (28 Apr 2013)
Are global wind power resource estimates overstated?		Very interesting paper by Adams/Keith on the maximum power that can be delivered by huge wind farms: "..results suggest that estimates of global wind resource that ignore the impact of wind turbines on slowing the wind may substantially overestimate the total resource."
Winter 2012/13 blizzards and stratospheric warming The challenge to CO2 global warmists		Two interesting videos by meteorologist Piers Corbyn from WeatherAction
Wahn der Weltverbesserer		Comment on Spiegel Online Wissenschaft
Zero emission synfuel from seawater		CO2 capture from seawater to make synfuel at 0.79 $/liter: read this article by John Morgan.
Misinterpreted climate report threatens the credibility of scientists		Swedish scientists slam misplaced PKI alarmism.
The Manmade global warming Challenge		Bob Tisdale has a very interesting presentation.The graphical aesthetics might not blow you out of your socks, but the content is very readable and tells a lot on ocean heat content and El Nino's (PDF, 42 MB).
A Lukewarmer's Ten Tests		Dr. Matt Riddley: "At the moment, it seems highly likely that the cure is worse than disease."
Atomausstieg und Energiewende: Wie sinnvoll ist der deutsche Alleingang?		Prof. Weinmann (et, Energiewirtschaftliche Tagesfragen, Jan. 2013):"Die ökologische Wirkung der Förderung der erneuerbaren Energien ist praktisch gleich Null...Insgesamt fällt das Urteil über die Energiewende damit negativ aus. Es sieht sehr danach aus, dass es sich bei ihr tatsächlich eher um ein Produkt politischer Opportunität handelt..."
Preliminary report of the TRCS team of veteran NASA scientists on AGW		"There is no convincing physical evidence of Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming... Because there is no immediate threat of global warming requiring swift corrective action, we have time to study global climate changes and improve our prediction accuracy"
A New Estimate of the Average Earth Surface Land Temperature Spanning 1753 to 2011		The BEST project paper: DTR trend (diurnal temperature range) = a fingerprint of global warming remains flat since 2002 (climate models say it should decline). The trends from the meteoLCD measurements show the same behaviour! See also the BLOG.
Global Warming, the tool of the West		Pravda comment (04Jan13): "... the elites moved to use this new "science" to guilt trip and scare monger their populations into smaller and more conservatives forms of living."
The logical case against climate panic		Excellent article by Lord Monckton
Erster Monitoringbericht "Energie der Zukunft" 2012		The German Bundesnetzagentur has published its first monitoring report (see here). Especially useful is the addendum, a huge Excel-file with many relevant data.
