News Snippets From All Beats

News reports on climate change are now telling many what they already knew.  The decadal oscillation of ocean currents and other climate cycles have been naturally taking their course without any influence from mankind, and are now entering into to a period of global cooling.  This fact has put a chill on the excitement of some scientists who followed the evidence and not the party line.

When thinking back ten years ago to his work in the global warming campaign, scientist Dr. David Evans recounts: “It was great. We were working to save the planet.”¹   Since that time, Evans has been disabused of that euphoria as he has honestly faced the evidence that carbon emissions simply don’t cause the sort of warming governments are being told they do.  Not even close, for that matter.

According to Evens, “There is no evidence to support the idea that carbon emissions cause significant global warming. None.”²  He should know, he’s the scientist who authored the carbon accounting model for the Australian government, and today he is making the case against anthropogenic global warming conspiracy.

Perhaps other proponents of global warming that were only a few years ago so vociferous in accusing dissenters from the theory of being “deniers” for purely political and monetary reasons will also come forward and change their views to match the evidence.³  Or maybe they’re waiting for spring, it is pretty cold out there.
