Climate change -- research suggests it is not a swindle
April 3, 2008New research has dealt a blow to the skeptics who argue that climate change is all due to cosmic rays rather than to man-made greenhouse gases. The new evidence shows no reliable connection between the cosmic ray intensity and cloud cover.
Lauded and criticised for offering a possible way out of the dangers of man made climate change, UK TV Channel 4's programme "The Great Global Warming Swindle", broadcast in 2007, suggested that global warming is due to a decrease in cosmic rays over the last hundred years.
This would cause a decrease in the production of low clouds allowing more heat from the sun to warm the Earth and cause global warming.
Research published today, Thursday 3 April, in the Institute of Physics' Environmental Research Letters shows how a team from Lancaster and Durham Universities sought a means to prove the correlation between the ionizing cosmic rays and the production of low cloud cover.
Previous research had shown a possible hint of such a correlation, using the results of the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project, and this had been used to propose that global warming was all down to cosmic rays.
The new research shows that change in cloud cover over the Earth does not correlate to changes in cosmic ray intensity. Neither does it show increases and decreases during the sporadic bursts and decreases in the cosmic ray intensity which occur regularly.
One such very large burst caused the magnetic storm which blacked out the power in Quebec in 1989.
Professors Sloan from Lancaster University and Wolfendale from Durham University write, "No evidence could be found of changes in the low cloud cover from known changes in the cosmic ray ionization rate."

Ten years from now when the Earth starts to significantly cool, the public perception of Science is going to be so badly damaged that it will take decades to recover and semblance of respect.
Our research institute has the concrete evidence to show that Earth's climate will cool over the next two to three decades, most likley reaching its coolest temperatures in the 2030's.
This will be published in the one of the few remaining peer-reviewed journals that hasn't be muzzled by the climate warming alarmists.
Unfortunately, it will take years before the current wave of pseudo-science called "human induced global warming" will be recognised for the complete fraud that it is.
By then, however, the damage will be done.
"the public perception of Science is going to be so badly damaged"
lol, give me a break though. The public perception of science?! Like it has any respect or credibility in the public's eyes now.
and this bs global warming research is just the tip of the iceberg.
ITER
gravity driven cosmos
god particles
the non-sense is endless. but to the public, none of this even exists in their mind, so no real damage is done.
Why is that not a headline?
The original theory proposes that the MAGNETIC variation between high and low sunspot numbers effecting the cosmic rays from deep space reaching earth.
Higher sunspots=more magetism=shields earth from some of the cosmic rays=less clouds=warmer Earth(less heat reflected back to space) and vice versa.
This would be a gradual thing not obvious by direct short term observation.
The relationship between sunspots and Earths temperature variations are well documented.Even back to the 19th century grain prices were noted to vary with sunspot intensity.The cosmic ray/sunspot theory is to explain the known relationship between temp and sunspots.
But obviously there are those who need this sort of blather as a form of comfort blanket and they are entitled to its reassurance for a while. As long as when we have to man the lifeboats they dont try and push their way to the front. But that would be too much to wish for, wouldnt it!
Its the first time it has been admitted that it could be by the main stream media.For it to be brought up by the "enemy" suggests a feeling of guilt."Perhaps the lady protests too much".
Yes, pollution is bad, but that doesn't mean we should immediately tear down society. Perhaps we should take a scientific approach and just wait and see?
it seems that current climatology mainstream is nothing more then a religion

Al Gore's Decree on Global Warming is Not Our Only Crisis
Increasing earth atmosphere's levels of GHG's is the stupidest experiment mankind has ever conducted with the only spaceship we know of which is capable of supporting our species. Deserves to go extinct.
