An Alternative Theory of Global Warming

Above: cosmic rays & their effect on global warming.

Emphasis in excerpts mine.



Scientists say that cosmic rays from outer space play a far greater role in changing the Earth's climate than global warming experts previously thought.

In a book, to be published this week, they claim that fluctuations in the number of cosmic rays hitting the atmosphere directly alter the amount of cloud covering the planet.

Hmm! Hmm! Well, what have we here? Other scientists with a wholly different theory, based on research, mind y'all, as to global warming/climate change. And they say it's not as much man's fault as other scientists are said to be claiming via alleged consensus, by the United Nations, an organization of extremely questionable credibility, if still possessing a smidgen thereof.



Henrik Svensmark, a weather scientist at the Danish National Space Centre who led the team behind the research, believes that the planet is experiencing a natural period of low cloud cover due to fewer cosmic rays entering the atmosphere.

This, he says, is responsible for much of the global warming we are experiencing.

Going to dismiss this research out of hand? Why? If you don't dismiss the IPCC of the United Nations (the corrupt, criminal, dishonest United Nations), then you cannot dismiss this either.


And there's more, according to that article: a 60-scientist team is furthering the research into cosmic rays, continuing the scientific research much more directly than the 2,500 scientists who merely "agreed" on a political position based on one particular theory of global warming/climate change.


Mr. Svensmark also says:



"Humans are having an effect on climate change, but by not including the cosmic ray effect in models it means the results are inaccurate.The size of man's impact may be much smaller and so the man-made change is happening slower than predicted."

Ah... so why the Chicken Little alarmism we're seeing all the time these days due to one political position based on a bunch of people who happen to be various types of "scientists" allegedly agreeing to said political position? There's gotta be a hidden agenda.


Ah. A hidden agenda. In the whole gw/cc alarmism thing. It's all falling apart day by day the more we look at the issue.


The IPCC of the UN is to be doubted by the reasonable, careful person. We cannot do anything drastic without being certain... and we're NOT certain!


The "science" is NOT "sound"!


It's all political correctness again!
