Man-Made Global Warming Destroyed in 500 Words, by Geologist Dr Roger Higgs

 

 

INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE (IPCC) THREE PILLARS OF MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING: COLLAPSED — by Dr Roger Higgs (DPhil Oxford, geology, 1982-86), Geoclastica Ltd Technical Note 2020-7, 25th May 2020, amended 26-5-2020 on ResearchGate.

 

The IPCC says ongoing warming is due to man’s CO2 emissions, hence ‘Anthropogenic Global Warming’ (AGW). However, the 3 pillars on which they base this claim are unscientific and quickly disproved.

 

IPCC’s Three Pillars

 


(Pillar I)

 

“Earth’s average surface temperature and man’s CO2 emissions have both risen since 1850, so CO2 must have caused the warming”

 

Five disproofs:

 

  1. What else has risen? The Sun’s magnetic output, affecting cloudiness (Svensmark), more than doubled from 1901 to 1991 (Lockwood), to its highest peak in 10,000 years (Higgs 1).
  2. In those last 10,00 years, simple visual cross-correlation shows changes in temperature lagged 60-160 years behind solar-output changes, due to the ocean’s vast heat capacity and slow mixing (Higgs 1, 2) & …
  3. … temperature and CO2 were uncorrelated, until their joint rise from the late 1800s.
  4. CO2 is still rising (NOAA), but Earth has cooled since 2016 (Met. Office). Every passing day not ‘warmest ever’ for that date, at multiple sites worldwide, embarrasses the IPCC.
  5. Warming since 1910 paused 1945-75 (30 years) and 1998-2012 but CO2 kept rising.

 

(Pillar II)

 

“Global warming’s continuance despite the Sun’s weakening after 1991 absolves the Sun and incriminates CO2”

 

Disproof:

This mismatch is simply due to the oceanic time-lag, currently about 60 years. Thus global warming will continue (with ups and downs, mainly due to the Sun’s 11-year cycles) until around 2050, about 60 years after the Sun’s 1991 grand peak (Higgs 2).

Pillar II was asserted in IPCC’s 2013 ‘Fifth Assessment Report’, Chapter 10 (IPCC 1 p.887, co-author Lockwood [see (1) above], citing 4 of his own papers). But IPPC already knew about the lag, Chapter 3 having stated the “ocean’s huge heat capacity and slow circulation lend it significant thermal inertia” (IPCC 2 p.266).

 

 

 

(Pillar III)

“Sea level (SL) for the last few thousand years varied less than 25cm, so the 30cm SL rise since 1850 proves abnormal warming by CO2”

Disproof:

The 25 cm claim (only “medium confidence”; IPCC 3 p.385) is based on selected evidence (Higgs 3) and on dismissal of the famed 1961 SL curve (Fairbridge; Wiki) with SL oscillations of 2 to 5 metres in the last 6,000 years, confirmed by dozens of later geologists worldwide, and lately with very strong archaeological support (Higgs 4, 5, 6).

Conclusions

  1. That’s it. That’s all they have. Be surprised.
  2. The Sun was by far the main driver of global temperature for the last 10,000 years.
  3. CO2 is innocent; it has no climate effect; the simultaneous rise in temperature and CO2 is pure accident; CO2’s residual ‘greenhouse effect’ is effectively nil (Higgs 7, 8).
  4. The IPCC urgently needs to consult geologists (Higgs 9, 10).
  5. Another Sun-driven large sea-level rise is predictable (Higgs 11).

Question everything,” writes Dr. Higgs.

Scientific Paper “Proves” Clouds Control the Climate, not Man

A June, 2019 research paper concludes that human activity can account for no more than a 0.01C rise in global temperatures, and goes so far as to “prove” low-level clouds “practically control the global temperature”.

The paper, entitled No Experimental Evidence for the Significant Anthropogenic Climate Change and published in Nature, is the work of a group Finnish scientists. It explains how the IPCC’s analysis of global temperatures suffers from at least one glaring error — namely, the failure to account for “influences of low cloud cover” on global temperatures.

 

In this paper we will prove that GCM-models used in IPCC report AR5 fail to calculate the influences of the low cloud cover changes on the global temperature. That is why those models give a very small natural temperature change leaving a very large change for the contribution of the green house gases in the observed temperature. This is the reason why IPCC has to use a very large sensitivity to compensate a too small natural component. Further they have to leave out the strong negative feedback due to the clouds in order to magnify the sensitivity. In addition, this paper proves that the changes in the low cloud cover fraction practically control the global temperature.

Canada Day 2020 went down as one of the Coldest on Record across BC, AB, and SK
July 3, 2020 Cap Allon
This year’s Canada Day has gone down as one of the chilliest on record across parts of British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan.
The daily high of 14.8C (58.6F) at Vancouver International Airport was the lowest since 1960, reports globalnews.ca. According to Global BC meteorologist Mark Madryga, the average high for the day is 21C (69.8F).

Staying in BC, the theprogress.com reports that Chilliwack busted an even bigger record. This year’s July 1 was the coldest since record-keeping began back in 1881 — Wednesday’s 13.5C (56.3F) comfortably usurped the previous all-time record of 14.4C (57.9F) from 1966.
In Whistler, the daily high was an incredible 11C (51.8F) — the lowest since at least 1951 when the area’s record-keeping began. Note, the average high for July 1 day is 22 C, with many Canada Days in Whistler hitting the 30s!
It was also colder than usual in Kamloops, continues globalnews.ca, with thick clouds holding the mercury to a high of just 15.3C (59.4F) — Madryga said this is the lowest reading since 1979, with the area seeing an average high of 27 C.

 

Iceland is Rocking — 9,000 Earthquakes in 10 Days
July 1, 2020 Cap Allon
As predicted, the year 2020 is looking very much like the beginnings of the next Grand Solar Minimum cycle. Now, we have the news that Iceland –the likely home of the next climate-altering volcanic eruption– is a’rocking.
As reported by newsweek.com on Tuesday, Kristín Jónsdóttir, Earthquakes Hazards Officer for the Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO), said a substantial earthquake swarm is happening in a known fault zone called the Tjörnes Fracture zone:
The IMO has said that some 9,000 earthquakes have been reported over the past 10 days alone, three of which have been above magnitude 5 and felt up and down the country.

“Stress builds up in the zone because of tectonic plates which move past each other in opposite directions,” said Jónsdóttir. “This is the largest earthquakes swarm in the Tjörnes Fracture Zone recorded in the past 40 years.”
The earthquake swarm coincides with signs a volcano to the south may be about to erupt. The IMO has said activity at Katla volcano appears to be characteristic of an impending eruption.

Since January this year, researchers have recorded an uplift in and around Katla, and in recent weeks have recorded an increase in sulfur dioxide close to where two previous eruptions have taken place.
Katla’s previous sizable eruption was the VEI 4 back in 1918 (volcano.si.edu). That year falls within the Centennial Minimum–the previous multidecadal spell of low solar activity.
ALL of the powerful, climate-altering volcanic eruptions of the past have been linked to low solar activity.  Worringly, the Sun is currently going through its deepest solar minimum of the past 100+ years, and looking forward, NASA has revealed the next cycle (25) will likely be “the weakest of the past 200 years” — a return to Dalton Minimum conditions.
The Dalton Minimum (1790-1830) was a solar-driven period of global cooling that included the famine-inducing eruption of Mt. Tambora in 1815. The eruption was the one of the most powerful of the past 2,000 years, and resulted in some of the harshest climatic conditions of the modern era: 1816’s “the year without a summer” — click below for more: 

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

April 22, 2020

Dr. Jay Lehr presents a refreshing look at the true controls of Climate Variability on the CFACT.org web site.  A very concise and interesting look: "

Climate science cannot attribute today's incredibly complex climate "100 percent" to CO2, methane, solar radiation, cloud formations, planetary oscillations, or other factors.  Claiming 100 percent influence is foolish.  The UN IPCC doesn't even try to go there.

Canada's Climate Discussion Nexus

The 97% fabrication: The In-depth Story Behind a Climate Fraud

 

see:  https://youtu.be/ewJ6TI8ccAw 

 

Facts behind the original study by Naomi Oreskes in 2004: 928 sample size with 75% scientists saying that Global Warming (GW) was probably human caused by 2006 Al Gore warped this to say that 100% of scientists said GW was human caused.  Not True!!

 

Other studies by University of Illinois: 10,000 survey returned 3146 of which 90% said there was warming since the little Ice Age pre 1800s, and 82% said human activity was a significant contributing factor.  They did not mention a significant danger... Among meteorologists only 64% said yes - human activity was a significant factor.  The media looked at the 77 self proclaimed climate experts of which 75 said that human activity was a significant cause of GW: 75/77= 97% this is 2% of the survey respondents, thus the statement that 97% of the world's scientists is fake.

 

Australian Scienist John Cook studied 12,000 scientific papers: 97% said that greenhouse gases were at least partly responsible for GW.  But 2/3 of the papers examined expressed no view at all of the consensus.  Of the remaining papers 33 of 34% agreed with the consensus 33/34 = 97% again.  This survey did not ask if human effects on the climate were significant or dangerous, hence the result was somewhat nebulous and certainly not 100% consensus.  When checking the papers for the number that said humans contributed significant effects on GW only 64 of 12,000 papers agreeded: this is 0.53% of the sample.

 

The Nexus discussion goes on to a study of the world's scientific societies and academies concluding that the members were not surveyed, but the societies's climate activists wrote their statements saying 97% agreeded with significant GW anthropogenic causes. 

 

A survey bythe American Meteorological Society of its 7000 members had 1800 responses with 52% saying that warming has happened since the 1800s and 48% saying they believed it happened but was likely natural variability ... Have a look at the facts by Nexus.

Most of the world is concerned about climate change which appears to be leading to a much warmer climate with glaciers receding and sea level rising. Many extremes of temperatures, intense storms, and droughts have been observed and presented in the popular media.

 

The Media cites the UN’s IPCC reports that say the warming is human caused by CO2 emissions and the greenhouse effect on radiation balance.

 

This talk focuses on the physics of the atmosphere-sun system and uses expert lecturers from MIT, NCAR (US National Center for Atmospheric Research), and Nobel winner from the University of Stockholm. They present the scientific evidence that Global Climate Change is a natural phenomenon that has been occurring for millions of years. They present the physics of radiative transfer that is the basis of the greenhouse effect, analyze data used to show large temperature increases from 1980 to 2018, and look at the past 450,000 years of ice core data and the sun spot cycles that have created ice ages.

 

Dr. Fred Goldberg closes with a prediction for the future based on his expert analysis of the Arctic and the Grand Solar Minimum. It is not a warming scenario.

 New Zealand experiences Fourth Coldest September this Century

 

This appears related to the Grand Solar Minimum's reduced magnetosphere.  

 

New Zealand’s average temperature last month –for the country as a whole– was below the 1981-2010 September avg., Niwa has said in its Monthly Climate Summary.

 

An unusual warming of the atmosphere high above Antarctica –called a Sudden Stratospheric Warming event (SSW)– assisted in making last month the fourth coldest September in New Zealand this century.

 

There have only ever been two SSWs recorded in the Southern Hemisphere, previous to this years — one in September 2002 (major) and another in September 2010 (minor).

 

The 2002 SSW event resulted in New Zealand experiencing a significant cold outbreak in October while the 2010 event was associated with record rainfall during September.

Scientists recognize that the sun is the primary source of energy in the Earth-atmosphere system.  Solar cycles have been tracked directly and indirectly over the past millena - thousands and hundreds of thousands of years as noted in many lectures linked on this web site.  Today, we are moving into a critical solar minimum with profound impacts on our society.  This Grand Solar Minimum (GSM) is not a human controlled phenomenon, rather an astronomical cycle.  The following GSM link provides updates to the world weather extremes caused by the GSM:

Our winter in Colorado was remarkably wet and cool with many strong Pacific storms dumping heavy wet snows.

 

We set many records in March and had over 1000 avalanches.  Snow continued into late June with some storms dumping 3-4 inches at our home, all of which quickly melted.  The Grand Solar Minimum led to a weakening of the sun's megnitosphere which permitted more cosmic rays to heat the stratosphere.  This warming caused several strong tropospheric polar vortices to form and maintain a deep polar flow into the Eastern US setting many new cold records from Minnesota to Florida.

 

The jet stream remained very strong through the winter with a blocking flow over western North America, Western Europe and a strong summer jet in the southern hemisphere with deep snows predicted in the Andes (1-4 meters).  The ECMWF model also predicted over 7 meters in parts of Alaska and British Columbia near Mount Logan in two 10-day forecasts.

 

Astronomers are warning about a little ice age coming within 10 years.  We'll be watching this carefully.

Yesterday, 8 October 2018, the IPCC provided an alarmist media proclamation that the world must act immediately to reduce CO2 emissions or we will have severe climatic consequences of warming and sea level rise.  The IPCC again quoted that 97% of scientists confirmed this human caused climate change, and nearly all scientific publications confirm this critical situation due to anthropogenic causes.  Unfortunately this is a biased one-sided unbalanced perspective of True science.  In the links below I will provide a more rational, physically honest set of view points that the climate alarmists proclaim are heretics, untrue, unpublished works.

Ice Age comming?  Glacialogists show, in a PBS program, some fascinating new evidence from ice core studies regarding a "cold climate in the very near future".  Deep ocean evidence also shows that we are heading for another ice age according to Lamont Observatory's vast number of sea bottom cores.   John Casey clarifies the current dogma of global warming vs climate change warming over the past 200 years.  Now scientists are finding significant stable temperatures that are transitioning to cooling and glacier expansions.  I watch the ECMWF global forecasts every day looking at 10-day snow forecasts, temperatures, and sea surface waves that mark the extent of polar ice.  This past 2018 Antarctic winter had record breaking cold temperatures down to -98ºC shattering the previous Vostok -89º world record.  NASA observed the -98º, I saw half a dozen reports below -92 to -97ºC.  Is this an indicator of the new solar minimum's approach?

Climate Scientist Murry Salby Returns! - Presents NEW SCIENCE

Author of the seminal book on climate; "Physics of the Atmosphere & Climate" Professor Murry Salby is without doubt one of the best Climate Scientists on the planet. In a lecture in London on the 17th March, 2015, he reveals new work which shows that; 1) The climate sensitivity is below 0.2c - confirmed by 3 independent methods. 2) Most of the observed increase in atmospheric CO2 is not anthropogenic. 3) CO2 movements and concentrations are largely determined by nature, not man; consequently, any cuts we make to our CO2 emissions will not have the desired effect, and are a costly waste of time. 4) CO2, whether man-made or not, does not 'drive' the climate system. Professor Murry Salby has been vilified by enviro-alarmists and the left for his scientific results. Salby was disenfranchised and exiled from academia in Australia for daring to speak such “sacrilege.” In a case similar to many others we have seen in Australia, and across the west, he was the subject of University hate and was finally sacked while he was on a lecture tour in Europe; his employer, Macquarie University of NSW, sacking him from his position as Professor of Climate Science. The University board cancelled his return ticket home, stranding him in Paris. All Salby's work was confiscated and has still not been returned to him. The pursuit of genuine Science in the field of climate - and free speech are Dead in most Western Universities: Other cases where top scientists were vilified and sacked or demoted by a University for the results of their science or for their views on the climate include; Bob Carter, Murry Salby Lennart Bengtsson, David Legates, George Taylor, Caleb Rossiter, Bjorn Lomborg, Henk Tennekes, Askel Winn-Nielsen, Alfonso Sutera, Anonio Speranza and scores of others.

Germany's Renewable's Disaster - Prof Fritz Vahrenholt
The Global Warming Policy Foundation: Restoring balance and trust to the climate debate

Professor Fritz Vahrenholt of Hamburg University speaks about the 'clean' energy revolution going on in Germany. The average German family is paying US$400 per year more for their energy, and the cost of the move to 50% wind and solar power has cost the country over US$30 billion. Meanwhile, Germany's emissions are going up, and have been for several years, while the USA's emissions continue to fall. If the contained emissions in the wind farms and solar panels are included, no savings in CO2 emissions are made. The main effect of the move to renewable energy, appears to have been a large transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in Germany.

Prof Vahrenholt wrote the excellent book "The Neglected Sun" along with co-author Prof Luning. Highly recommended read!

A balanced debate on climate change….
Published on Jul 22, 2018

Charleston, West Virginia, June 12, 2018. Dr. Michael Mann, Dr. David Titley, Dr. Patrick Moore and Dr. Judith Curry met in to discuss climate change.

They were asked two questions: -

 To what extent is the use of fossil fuels affecting climate change? -

What can and should be done to offset those effects?

Michael Mann’s Activist perspective of IPCC support, we must double the rate of sea level rise by 2x…  letter to the editor of Wall St Journal denial of “most basic facts”… unprecedented droughts lead to national security problems, wild fires…. perpetual fires… coastal damage inflicted by climate change, adapt?  No further fossil fuel use…

Dr. Judith Curry substantial disagreement, no unified theory fo climate predictability… must look at the whole elephant, not just the tusk.  IPCC consensus no longer supported due to manufactured political concensus.  

Dr. Moore, IPCC does not say that hurricanes and tornadoes are increasing in Climate change, but the media does.."This has become some kind of religion, even the Pope is into it."

Admiral Titley believes national security is at risk for many factors from sea level rise to 500 million displaced people.

2016 Year of Extremes again

Climate change continued to impact the weather events of 2016. 

January 21, 2016 Extreme East Coast Blizzard Predicted

NWS and the media picked up on an extreme forecast for explosive development and slow movement up the East coast from 22-24 Jan. 2016.  This was a dead hit on Washington, Baltimore, PHL, NYC and the NJ coast where major coastal flooding occurred.  DC, NYC closed offices and all surface traffic on Friday 22Jan as the blizzard’s heavy snow moved up the coast and high winds evolved as explosive deepening off the Va Md shore occurred.  Models predicted this storm quite well and the public officials reacted appropriately.  The media had continuous coverage of the event.  See PPT images of weather event and media.

April 15-20, 2016

Denver and Front Range snow storm dumps up to 51 inches of heavy wet snow on April 15-20, 2016.  This unusual spring storm dumped snow at the rate of 3 inches per hour at our home from 1700-2100 totaling 14 inches.  It closed DIA and I-70 was frequently closed. However by April 18, 2015 I-70 was flowing and we successfully departed DIA for FRA.

Similar heavy spring snow in Slovenia added 50 cm to Kredarica base of 260 cm, and 10 cm in LJU covering Slovenia on April 27, 2016.  It endangered the SLO wine crop in many regions. Skiing resumed at Vogel with 110 cm base that weekend.

In late March, Dave Matthews and Will Pozzi met with our WaterNet collaboration team at the CNRFC, Central Valley Operations Office, USBR, and the California Department of Water Resources to discuss progress in developing the WaterNet “Community of Practice” and the CNRFC WaterNet Demonstration Project.Meetings were held with Robert Hartman, Hydrologist in Charge, CNRFC, Art Henkel, Senior Hydrologist, and Alan Haynes, HAS Forecaster regarding progress in the Hydrometeorological Test-bed (HMT) and integration of emerging research into operational river forecasting.We then met with Reclamation water operations manager Paul Fujitani and planner Michael Tansey to discuss current water management decision support tools and needs for improved planning and operations.Maurice Roos, CDWR Chief Hydrologist led a meeting with other CDWR engineers and planners to review their interests and needs for improved water supply analysis and prediction.We discussed their snow survey system and how it is used to improve water resource management in California.

 

 

NCAR Colorado Headwater Research Program Kickoff:

March 19, 2008

 

Dr. Roy Rasmussen’s Research Applications Lab (RAL) TIIMES team hosted a kickoff meeting for the Colorado Headwaters Research Program. Dr. Matthews attended at the request of Dr. Paul Houser, CREW to represent him and ourNASA sponsored WaterNet Project.This planning meeting was designed to develop a scientific framework for better long-term analysis and prediction of climate variability and change impacts on the Colorado headwaters to meet the needs of local, state, and interstate water users in this region. The meeting provided a series of excellent presentations on the goals and objectives of CHRP and related scientific issues and challenges that need to be addressed in order to better understand and predict the complex linkages between atmospheric controls of precipitation, snowpack evolution, runoff, and its impacts on water supplies in this critical headwaters region.The scientists discussed a cutting edge approach to very high resolution (2-4 km grid spacing) Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) modeling dynamically coupled to a sophisticated Land Surface Model – Noah-D, and high resolution surface observations and the need for improved remote sensing and in situ aircraft measurements to understand and validate the physical processes simulated in models. While in the initial planning stage, this CHRP holds much promise for making significant research strides to improve long-term predictions of water supplies in the region.
