Climate Change: A peer-reviewed study by a respected Canadian
physicist blames the interplay of cosmic rays and chlorofluorocarbons
for 20th-century warming. The CFCs are now gone, and so is warming --
perhaps for the next 50 years.
Much of the nation got a white Christmas this year, some in
unprecedented quantities. A record-breaking storm deposited 12 to 30
inches of snow in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C. Many places
set records for the most snow in a single December day as more than
50% of the U.S. was covered by the white stuff.
Scientists (and here we use the word loosely) at Britain's Climate
Research Unit may have tried to "hide the decline" in global
temperatures, but it's hard to hide two feet of snow. Their motto
seems to be the immortal words of Groucho Marx: "Who are you going to
believe, me or your own lying eyes?"
Qing Bin-Lu, a professor of physics and astronomy at Canada's
University of Waterloo, is a believer in the value of drawing
conclusions from observable data and not from selective data fed into
computer models that are based on false assumptions and include
"fudge factors."
In a peer-reviewed paper published in the prestigious online journal
Physics Reports, Lu, who holds a Ph.D. in physics from the University
of Newcastle, reports that CFCs, the compounds once widely used as
refrigerants, and cosmic rays, which are energy particles originating
in outer space, are mostly to blame for climate change, rather than
carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
Lu puts the start of the cooling trend at 2002 and writes that "the
observed data show that CFCs conspiring with cosmic rays most likely
caused both the Antarctic ozone hole and global warming. These
findings are totally unexpected and striking, as I was focused on
studying the mechanism for the formation of the ozone hole, rather
than global warming."
From 1850 to 1950, Lu notes, the recorded CO2 level increased
significantly because of the Industrial Revolution; the global
temperature stayed constant or rose only 0.1 degree Celsius.
"Most remarkably, the total amount of CFCs, ozone-depleting molecules
that are well-known greenhouse gases ... decreased around 2000," Lu
said. "Correspondingly, the global surface temperature has also
dropped. In striking contrast, the CO2 level has kept rising since
1850 and now is at its largest growth rate."
Other reputable scientists have also predicted decades of cooling
ahead to, er, varying degrees and for varying reasons. Earth's
climate is affected by many things and is more complicated than the
CRU computer models.

I would like to believe him, but although nearly eight years have now
passed since 2002,
Arctic sea ice extent is STILL decreasing:

Global sea level is STILL rising and even accelerating
http://climate.nasa.gov/keyIndicators/
Sea level rise is associated with the thermal expansion of sea water
due to climate warming and widespread melting of land ice.
The average rate of sea level rise has increased as follows:
1870 - 1990 1.7 mm/year
1990 - 2009 3.3 mm/year
The thinning of a gigantic glacier in Antarctica is accelerating

But there is still CO2 and Methane and they continue to warm the planet,
please stop your subsidized lies against global warming which is only
getting worse. There is no global cooling.
