Climate change computer projections are manifestly false and dangerously misleading
The alleged threat to the planet from human caused climate change has been at the forefront of Australian politics over the recent half century. Every year, just before meetings of the UN Conference of the Parties (COP) to the Climate Change Convention, slight increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide and global temperature are portrayed in the media as harbingers of future doom. Every extreme weather event is made out to be an ill omen of what is to come unless fossil fuels are eliminated.
Glacier fluctuations don’t yet support recent anthropogenic warming
Holocene glacier records show that glaciers worldwide reached their greatest extent during the Little Ice Age and were generally smaller during earlier warm periods. While glacier length is a valuable long-term regional climate indicator, the evidence does not clearly support the idea of uniform, synchronous global warming.
Challenges to the CO2 Global Warming Hypothesis: (13) Global Warming Entirely from Declining Planetary Albedo
Is the recent warming the result of less reflection of sunlight by the Earth? Two researcher state that declining albedo — not CO₂ — dominates the temperature trend.
