If you can't explain how a ten percent increase in CO2 can cause a
slight decline in temperature without more powerful outside forcings interfering then your theory is dead.
One of the thousands of emails recently circulated by a whistleblower at the University of East Anglia, where one of the world's four global - temperature datasets is compiled, reveals that data were altered so as to prevent a recent
decline in temperature from showing in the record.
The Little Ice Age began with a
sudden decline in temperature and significant change in moisture patterns over most of high and mid-latitude land mass's but was very well documented in Europe where temperature decline was between 4 to 7 C degrees with resulting catastrophic results for the population of Europe with proof of over 17 different famines and approximately 25,000,000 untimely deaths during this 450 year period.
Conversely I note that if CO2 directly causes warming as you appear to be claiming, the fact that ice cores show that temperatures increased about 800 years before a CO2 increase (and a latter
decline in temperatures before CO2 levels declined) casts doubt upon CO2 as a driver.
Through this intentional alarmist false reporting, regional stagnations and
even declines in temperature in Germany are getting obscured, and that at the cost of the taxpayer.»
The
modest decline in temperatures in recent months from the peak of the El Niño event is completely in line with what has happened during past large El Niño events and was expected by scientists.
There is much less support currently for the notion that «global warming has stopped» than there was 16 months ago (although there are signs that support for such a statement is building again — note the
general decline in temperatures during the last 6 months or so in Figure 1).
According to critics, this «trick» worked in the following way: when temperature readings taken from tree rings showed an
apparent decline in temperatures from the 1980s to the present, the researchers added in measurements taken later by more modern instruments, which gave them the answer they wanted.
«And while global temperatures increased slightly in June, through the end of May, the nine -
month decline in temperatures beginning in September was greater (0.8 C) than all the warming of the 20th century (0.6 C).»
The impact of this alternative scenario was illustrated in the Climate Audit post last year, showing that a revised transition schedule resulted in a substantial change to received temperature history, eliminating the puzzling
postwar decline in temperature.
Professor Habibullo Abdussamatov, head of the Pulkovo Observatory in Russia, noting that solar irradiance had already begun to fall, said a
slow decline in temperatures would begin as early as 2012 - 2015 and lead to a deep freeze in 2050 - 2060 that will last about fifty years.
And then conflating that with an unfortunately poorly worded phrase where Phil Jones refers to hiding
a decline in temperatures.
This is apparent in the «hide the decline» quote which many took (and continue to take) to mean a nefarious hiding of
a decline in temperature.
Notably, both the decline in sea level and
the decline in temperature occurred during the so - called European «Medieval Warm Period,» providing additional evidence that the «Medieval Warm Period» and «Little Ice Age» were not globally synchronous phenomena.
This is apparent in the «hide the decline» quote which many took (and continue to take) to mean a nefarious hiding of
a decline in temperature.
