From: usenet on 9 Jan 2010 18:24 The CO2 Lie Editorial Investors Business Daily Tuesday, January 5, 2010 Climate Change: A new study shows that Earth's ability to absorb carbon dioxide from all sources, including man, has remained unchanged for 160 years. As it turns out, there may be no carbon to offset. A major tenet of the global warming religion, straight from the Book of Gore, has been that the ability of the earth to handle increasing CO2 emissions is finite and that once the "tipping point" is reached, the earth will warm uncontrollably. Well, another climate domino has fallen -- the myth that man-made CO2 is leading to climate catastrophe. This "settled science" has been upended by an unsettling (for warm- mongers) new study out of the University of Bristol in England. Unlike the Climate-gate charlatans at the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, Wolfgang Knorr of Bristol's Earth Sciences Department followed the data where it led instead of trying to manipulate it to "hide the decline" in global temperatures the earth has experienced in the last decade. 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 does show 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. The rest is absorbed by nature, and that percentage hasn't changed since 1850. Knorr arrived at that figure by relying solely on measurements and statistical data, including historical records extracted from Antarctic ice. He did not rely, as the CRU did, on badly written computer models with built-in fudge factors to direct the data to a foregone conclusion. Another result of this study, reports Anthony Watts at WattsUpWithThat.com, is that emissions from deforestation, caused in large part by the clearing of forest land to grow allegedly planet- saving biofuels, may have been grossly overestimated. This finding agrees with results published in November in the journal Nature Geoscience by a team led by Guido van der Werf from VU University in Amsterdam. It reanalyzed deforestation data and concluded that resulting emissions have been overestimated by a factor of two. We have tried to help document this growing disparity between observable data and apocalyptic computer models that cannot even predict the past. This post-Climate-gate study provides another nail in the coffin of cap-and-trade and shows why the Environmental Protection Agency should not be allowed to destroy the U.S. economy by absurdly regulating carbon dioxide, the basis for all life on earth, as a pollutant. Reputable scientists have concluded that earth's climate is the result of an infinite number of variables and processes that are not completely understood. There are more things in heaven and on earth than are dreamed of in their computer models. Cyclical ocean currents, solar cycles, even cosmic rays have been documented as affecting earth's atmosphere and weather. As Weather Channel founder and eminent meteorologist John Coleman notes, "The sun has gone quiet with fewer and fewer sun spots, and the global temperatures have gone into decline. Earth has cooled for almost 10 straight years. So, I ask Al Gore, where's the global warming?" More and more Americans are asking the same question as the earth is under an Arctic siege. Temperatures in Iowa are 30 degrees below normal. In South Burlington, Vt., 33 inches of snow fell -- an all-time record for a storm. Three deaths due to cold were reported in Memphis, Tenn., as Miami experienced the coldest temperatures in, uh, a decade. AccuWeather.com chief meteorologist and expert forecaster Joe Bastardi says this could be the worst winter in 25 years. As more scientists reveal inconvenient truths, we too ask: Where's the warming, Al Gore?

Joseph Stalin's fraudulent "agronomist" Trofim Lysenko caused harvest failures when Soviet agriculture was ordered to follow his bizarre pseudo-science. "Scientific Marxism" killed 100,000,000 people, [1] according to Marxist historians themselves. The medical truth about the AIDS epidemic, that it was communicated by anal intercourse, especially among men, was suppressed for decades, causing thousands of more young men to die. And now it seems that the global warming fraud, just one aspect of broader EcoFraud, is killing people in the Third World. The proximate cause? A doubling of food prices. Why? Because of the diversion of food crops to biofuels. In a letter to Australian PM Kevin Rudd, Lord Christopher Monckton writes: [2] "Millions are already dying of starvation in the world's poorest nations because world food prices have doubled in two years. That abrupt, vicious doubling was caused by a sharp drop in world food production, caused in turn by suddenly taking millions of acres of land out of growing food for people who need it, so as to grow biofuels for clunkers that don't. The scientifically-illiterate, economically-innumerate policies that you (Kevin Rudd) advocate -- however fashionable you may conceive them to be -- are killing people by the million." Read the whole letter. These frauds take their toll in the Third World long before we see the effects in prosperous nations. For us the fraud is a luxury. For them it's survival.

Many IBD readers have told me that they ignore the editorials(which sometimes read like a Pat Robertson op-ed), and subscribe only for business coverage. The editors of IBD should stick to business news, and keep out of the "business" of right-wing propaganda. http://www.google.com/search?q=arctic+ports+ice-free When the superpowers rush to develop year-round military capabilities based on ice-free Arctic ports, they aren't doing it as a theoretical exercise.

Someone who does not understand that it is indeed bad news to hear that the earth's atmosphere is a garbage bin for 40% of the CO2 we burn. If you burn a ton of carbon, then 40% stays airborne for at least 160 years. This is no good news at all, and you can easily verify it.

Every year, the oceans take up 90 Gt of carbon, and maintain a perfect balance between all the other natural sources of atmospheric carbon dioxide and ocean CO2 levels, which are VAST. The AGW frauds expect us to believe that there is something magical with man made CO2 that it can't be absorbed by the ocean like the huge amounts of natural CO2 are absorbed. It is stupid on the face of it and it is contrary to well proven chemical principles.
