«The
result is not a
surprise, but if you look at the
global climate models that have been used to analyze what the planet looked like 20,000 years ago — the same models used to predict
global warming in the future — they are doing, on average, a very good job reproducing how cold it was in Antarctica,» said first author Kurt Cuffey, a glaciologist at the University
of California, Berkeley, and professor
of geography and
of earth and planetary sciences.
That this might happen as a
result of global warming is discussed in the scientific community since the 1980s — since Wally Broecker's classical Nature article «Unpleasant
surprises in the greenhouse?»
Well since the upward trend was well established, and his whole «CO2 causes
global warming» theory would be falsified by any other
result (constant or decreasing temperatures) it is hardly
surprising that Hansen's models would produce predictions
of increasing temperature.
Using the same method that I had used earlier for the same years on both data sets, I compared the total numbers
of sunspots in post-1975 years to the 200 years pre-1975, and discovered a
surprising result, given all the hype: the GSN reconstruction makes no discernable difference over the SIDC number post-1975 as pertaining to the solar cause
of global warming.
Kilimanjaro's majestic glacial cap
of 11,000 - year - old ice has long captured imaginations the world over, so it was not

result of global warming caused by emissions
of heat - trapping «greenhouse» gases from smokestacks and tailpipes.
Although the
result seems stunning in that it came from IPCC scientists who have always been in the tank for manmade
global warming, itâ $ ™ s not really
surprising since the notion
of manmade climate change has never lived up to its billing.
The
results are collective feedbacks
of cloud, snow, ice and MOC that produce the potential for «
surprises on both the
warm and cold ends
of the spectrum due entirely to internal variability that lie well outside the envelope
of a steadily increasing
global mean temperature.»
Given that Donald Trump tweeted in 2012 that he believes concern about
global warming is the
result of a ploy by China to make American manufacturing less competitive, and then in a 2014 tweet explicitly called
global warming a «hoax,» it was no
surprise when his administration moved aggressively to undo the climate actions taken by former President Barack Obama.
