Two new reads on global warming alarmism, both attacking the
CSIRO:



First, John McLean lists his five problems with the new CSIRO
global warming report, which generated all those alarmist
headlines:



It is overwhelmingly biased towards greenhouse gases being the
major cause of climate change since 1950 and yet produces
absolutely no evidence for this assertion. Some natural forces
are ignored and another that is first highlighted as being linked
to historical climate variations is subsequently dismissed as
being minor or irrelevant. There is only one notion that matters
to this report - that man-made emissions of carbon dioxide have a
major impact on climate. Come hell or high water, this report
tries to ram that unproven notion into its readers at every turn.



Second, David Archibald explains the globe's failure to warm, and
looks to the sun:



(A)ll the wailing from the CSIRO and others is in the face of a
temperature that has not changed. Figure 12 shows lower
troposphere temperature anomalies in the southern hemisphere
since satellite records began in 1979.



This is the part of the world we live in. There is no doubt that
this temperature record is correct as it agrees with weather
balloon data. While the southern hemisphere, lower troposphere
temperature is not quite as constant as the Northern Star, the
trend is flat. Antarctica has cooled appreciably over the same
period. In the Northern Hemisphere, the United States and
Greenland were both warmer in the 1930s than they are now. The
ability to believe in global warming in the face of a failure to
warm, proving that theory wrong, demonstrates an enormous
capacity for self-delusion.
