“The climate change debate is forever shifting as science casts long shadows of doubt on the predictions of global catastrophe. The debate gathered a world-wide audience when climate alarmists gained control of the climate science agenda. Its popularisation has given it a political momentum that is proving difficult to halt.”

Do we live in a special time in which the laws of physics and nature are suspended? No, we do not. Can we expect relationships between the Sun’s activity and climate, that we can see in data going back several hundred years, to continue for at least another 20 years? With absolute certainty.

In this presentation, I will demonstrate that the Sun drives climate, and use that demonstrated relationship to predict the Earth’s climate to 2030. It is a prediction that differs from most in the public domain. It is a prediction of imminent cooling.

When the popular media refer to “Global Warming”, or more recently “Climate Change”, both with Capitals, so You Know How Important It Is, they mean a combination of three related theories. These are:

• The Earth is warming at an unprecedented rate.
• This is happening because of human activity.
• This is a bad thing.

None of these things can be shown to be true.

By Emeritus Professor Lance Endersbee, AO.

The accompanying paper, Climate Change is Nothing New [PDF, 1.2MB], was published in the March 2007 issue of the journal, New Concepts in Global Tectonics (http://www.ncgt.org/).

I was invited to prepare the paper by the Editor as a scientific response to the IPCC report, Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis, Summary for Policy Makers, issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, February 2007. The paper can also be regarded as a response to the movie by Al Gore, and to the report on carbon trading by the London financier, Sir Nicholas Stern.

The key points of the paper are:-

Australian of the Year Tim Flannery attempted to scare the horses recently by baldly claiming greenhouse gases are now at levels far higher than has ever been publicly admitted before. Is this a cry of warning from an eco-warrior or yet another blast of climate-porn from one of the world’s leading climate pornographers?

Traditionally pornographers produce material their audience may regard as obscene, or at least titillating. Climate pornographers produce material that is obscene, regardless of your viewpoint – extremist, alarmist and designed to frighten regardless of the facts, or the reasonable conclusions to be drawn from the information to hand.

Have you ever wondered if celebrities have a conscience? Whether they consider their impact of their words and deeds in much the way as the common man? Let’s investigate that matter in the context of the raging debate over climate change.

Did you tune into the Live Earth concerts promoted by Al Gore on the catchy date of 7/7/07? No? Well, you certainly heard of them, thanks to the free time given by the media. Concerts on seven continents, headlined by Madonna, Genesis and the Black Eyed Peas. Concerts designed to arouse awareness of the apparent threats of climate change and global warming.

We all know the maxim that common sense just isn’t that common. Nothing proves this more than the current debate about Climate Change. ‘Global Warming’ has become the propaganda term of choice for those who make a living from scare tactics about the climate. Yet, brave souls in the scientific and political community are offering alternate views, views that receive scant regard in the mainstream media.

In a series of columns for carbon-sense.com we will investigate just how much, or little, common sense is being applied in the worldwide debate. We will expose the facts Al Gore and his cohorts don’t want the average citizen to know; and we will challenge the orthodox view that has enveloped the mass media and politicians of all stripes. More importantly, we will investigate the motivations of many of those who are on the climate change bandwagon – from simple economic avarice right through to an intent to alter the entire economic and political order.

The author is a geologist with 30 years experience in the metalliferous mining
industry. He is currently Chief Operating Officer of a public listed gold mining
company. Opponents of the following view will claim bias, but knowledge of, and
training and practise in, the subject does not equate with bias.

There are strident calls for the reduction and elimination of carbon dioxide (CO₂)
emissions, based on the assumptions that (a) increasing carbon dioxide emissions are
the cause of global warming and (b) that human activities are responsible for a rise in
carbon dioxide emissions. The conclusion is then drawn that restricting human
emissions of CO₂ will reduce global warming.

The basis of the scientific method is that a series of observations are made, a
hypothesis is drawn up to explain the observations, then a series of tests are made to
see if the hypothesis holds under all circumstances. If test results indicate the
hypothesis is flawed, then the hypothesis must be altered to fit ALL data.

The following data DO NOT FIT the assumption that human activities result in global
warming. It follows then that the assumption that anthropogenic CO₂ causes global
warming is fundamentally flawed.
