#39. Key Finding of International Scientific Panel's Analysis of Climate-Change

Synopsis: Methane levels in atmosphere are not caused by level of CO2 in atmosphere.

Source here. "Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas. An enhanced CO2 environment has been shown to have “neither positive nor negative consequences” on atmospheric methane concentrations. Higher temperatures have been shown to result in reduced methane release from peatbeds. Methane emissions from cattle have been reduced considerably by altering diet, immunization, and genetic selection."

#38. Key Finding of International Scientific Panel's Analysis of Climate-Change

Synopsis: Using biofuels to replace fossil fuels actually increases CO2 emissions, just opposite of what politicians were told and believed.

Source here. "Biofuels for transportation (chiefly ethanol, biodiesel, and methanol) are being used in growing quantities in the belief that they provide environmental benefits. In fact, those benefits are very dubious. By some measures, “the net effect of biofuels production ... is to increase CO2 emissions for decades or centuries relative to the emissions caused by fossil fuel use.”"

#37. Key Finding of International Scientific Panel's Analysis of Climate-Change

Synopsis: Based on scientific research, solar activity, not CO2, has strong influence on level of severe weather.

Source here. "Strong correlations between solar variability and precipitation, droughts, floods, and monsoons have all been documented in locations around the world. Once again, these correlations are much stronger than any relationship between these weather phenomena and CO2."

#36. Key Finding of International Scientific Panel's Analysis of Climate-Change

Synopsis: The benefit of natural 'carbon capture' will be enhanced by increasing CO2 and warming.

Source here. "The ongoing rise in the air’s CO2 content, as well as any degree of warming that might possibly accompany it, will not materially alter the rate of decomposition of the world’s soil organic matter and will probably enhance biological carbon sequestration. Continued increases in the air’s CO2 concentration and temperature will not result in massive losses of carbon from earth’s peatlands. To the contrary, these environmental changes—if they persist—would likely work together to enhance carbon capture."

#35. Key Finding of International Scientific Panel's Analysis of Climate-Change

Synopsis: Actual science has been unable to establish a global relationship between warming and forest fire activity.

Source here. "Although one can readily identify specific parts of the planet that have experienced both significant increases and decreases in land area burned by wildfires over the last two to three decades of the twentieth century, for the globe as a whole there was no relationship between global warming and total area burned over this period."

#34. Key Finding of International Scientific Panel's Analysis of Climate-Change

Synopsis: Over 150 years, the level of severe weather has not increased despite CO2 increases and warming - opposite of climate model predictions.

Source here. "As the earth has warmed over the past 150 years, during its recovery from the global chill of the Little Ice Age, there has been no significant increase in either the frequency or intensity of stormy weather."

Climate Prediction By Scientists: The Road To Perdition

We've posted some 100+ times about the failures of both climate scientists and climate models attempts at prediction. For those that think scientists and their models are paragons of infallibility, objectivity, truth and accuracy, and deserve unquestioning respect, it's best you mentally reboot. Understand, even a superficial reading of those articles we link to in our postings will be a very sobering, and a very serious challenge to any belief one still has in government funded scientists and their models.

Regardless of the continuous failures of climate predictions, forecasts and hyped prognostications, the global warming advocate scientists continue to assault our collective common sense with ever more outlandish and hysterical predictions. The result? Over two-thirds of the American public now reject the global warming "doom & gloom" that federally-funded climate scientists have smashed-faced for two decades.

Often, the road to perdition is not easily recognized by the protagonists. For those climate scientists who continue to claim magical climate prescience at the taxpayers expense (trough), a day of reckoning will come - it's only a matter of time.

(In the meantime, anyone who thinks climate scientists and their models are the 'cats pajamas' make sure they get the link to the 100+ postings/articles about the abysmal failure of climate expert predictions.)

#33. Key Finding of International Scientific Panel's Analysis of Climate-Change

Synopsis: The world will actually benefit from having more CO2 and being warmer because plants enjoy that environmental combination.

Source here. "As the air’s CO2 content continues to rise, plants will likely exhibit enhanced rates of photosynthesis and biomass production that will not be diminished by any global warming that might occur concurrently. In fact, if the ambient air temperature rises, the growth-promoting effects of atmospheric CO2 enrichment will likely also rise, becoming more and more robust."

#32. Key Finding of International Scientific Panel's Analysis of Climate-Change

Synopsis: IPCC has been absolutely wrong with its prediction of increasing and stronger hurricanes due to global warming.

Source here. "The IPCC says “it is likely that future tropical cyclones (typhoons and hurricanes) will become more intense, with larger peak wind speeds and more heavy precipitation associated with ongoing increase of tropical sea surface temperatures.” But despite the supposedly “unprecedented” warming of the twentieth century, there has been no increase in the intensity or frequency of tropical cyclones globally or in any of the specific oceans."

#31. Key Finding of International Scientific Panel's Analysis of Climate-Change

Synopsis: Polar bears have survived much hotter and colder periods. Continued polar bear hunting is the primary danger to polar bear species.

Source here. "Polar bears have survived changes in climate that exceed those that occurred during the twentieth century or are forecast by the IPCC’s computer models. Most populations of polar bears are growing, not shrinking, and the biggest influence on polar bear populations is not temperature but hunting by humans, which historically has taken a large toll on polar bear populations."

#30. Key Finding of International Scientific Panel's Analysis of Climate-Change

Synopsis: Global warming is influenced by a combination of solar activity and cosmic rays penetrating atmosphere.

Source here. "Cosmic rays could provide the mechanism by which changes in solar activity affect climate. During periods of greater solar magnetic activity, greater shielding of the earth occurs, resulting in less cosmic rays penetrating to the lower atmosphere, resulting in fewer cloud condensation nuclei being produced, resulting in fewer and less reflective low-level clouds occurring, which leads to more solar radiation being absorbed by the surface of the earth, resulting (finally) in increasing near-surface air temperatures and global warming."

#29. Key Finding of International Scientific Panel's Analysis of Climate-Change

Synopsis: Climate 'alarmist' scientists refuse to include the global impact of sun's activity on global warming due to their devotion to weak CO2-warming hypothesis.

Source here. "The role of solar activity in causing climate change is so complex that most theories of solar forcing must be considered to be as yet unproven. But it would also be appropriate for climate scientists to admit the same about the role of rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations in driving recent global warming."

#28. Key Finding of International Scientific Panel's Analysis of Climate-Change

Synopsis: Due to increased CO2, vegetation creates natural climate negative feedback that lessens global warming.

Source here. "As the air’s CO2 content—and possibly its temperature—continues to rise, plants emit greater amounts of carbonyl sulfide gas, which eventually makes it way into the stratosphere, where it is transformed into solar-radiation reflecting sulfate aerosol particles, which have a cooling effect."

Are Maldives & Other Reef Islands Going To Slip Beneath Waves Due To Rising Seas? Latest Research Says 'No'

Read here. Climate model future predictions look to be wrong, again.

#27. Key Finding of International Scientific Panel's Analysis of Climate-Change

Synopsis: The modern surface temperature record is badly flawed, inaccurate and biased from concrete/asphalt 'urban heating.'

Source here. "The IPCC cites as evidence of modern global warming data from surface-based recording stations yielding a 1905-2005 temperature increase of 0.74ºC +/- 0.18ºC. But this temperature record is known to be positively biased by insufficient corrections for the nongreenhouse-gas-induced urban heat island (UHI) effect. It may be impossible to make proper corrections for this deficiency, as the UHI of even small towns dwarfs any concomitant augmented greenhouse effect that may be present."

#26. Key Finding of International Scientific Panel's Analysis of Climate-Change

Synopsis: The deniers of the global 'Medieval Warming Period' have been proven wrong by the actual scientific evidence.

Source here. "Evidence of a global Medieval Warm Period is extensive and irrefutable. Scientists working with a variety of independent methodologies have found it in proxy records from Africa, Antarctica, the Arctic, Asia, Europe, North America, and South America."

#25. Key Finding of International Scientific Panel's Analysis of Climate-Change

Synopsis: Coral reefs are not fragile; they have survived much hotter climates.

Source here. "The persistence of coral reefs through geologic time—when temperatures were as much as 10°- 15°C warmer than at present, and atmospheric CO2 concentrations were two to seven times higher than they are currently—provides substantive evidence that these marine entities can successfully adapt to a dramatically changing global environment."

#24. Key Finding of International Scientific Panel's Analysis of Climate-Change

Synopsis: Global warming does not cause species extinction.

Source here. "The four known causes of extinctions are huge asteroids striking the planet, human hunting, human agriculture, and the introduction of alien species (e.g., lamprey eels in the Great Lakes and pigs in Hawaii). None of these causes are connected with either global temperatures or atmospheric CO2 concentrations."

#23. Key Finding of International Scientific Panel's Analysis of Climate-Change

Synopsis: Increased levels of CO2 protect plants from arid, drought conditions.

Source here. "The amount of carbon plants gain per unit of water lost—or water-use efficiency—typically rises as the CO2 content of the air rises, greatly increasing their ability to withstand drought. In addition, the CO2-induced percentage increase in plant biomass production is often greater under water-stressed conditions than it is when plants are well watered."

#22. Key Finding of International Scientific Panel's Analysis of Climate-Change

Synopsis: Increased CO2 improves environment for plant life; CO2 'greens' the world.

Source here. "A 300-ppm increase in the air’s CO2 content typically raises the productivity of most herbaceous plants by about one-third; and this positive response occurs in plants that utilize all three of the major biochemical pathways (C3, C4, CAM) of photosynthesis. For woody plants, the response is even greater. The productivity benefits of CO2 enrichment are also experienced by aquatic plants,  including freshwater algae and macrophytes, and marine microalgae and macroalgae."
