Last week we were exposed to the unhinged, malevolent Left/liberal/progressive environmental movement with the release of the 'Greenterror' video (short version). And now this week, two new peer-reviewed studies wreak havoc on existing IPCC climate models' credibility. The catastrophic global warming camp is seriously having a bad week, bad month, bad quarter and bad fiscal year, no?
One of the studies purports to show that increasing solar activity cools the Earth. This would be a 180 degree turn from consensus science, and if true, would mean that all past projections of IPCC climate models can be flushed with the rest of the human waste.
"If new satellite data can be trusted, changes in solar activity warmed the Earth when they should have cooled it...studied satellite measurements of solar radiation between 2004 and 2007, when overall solar activity was in decline. The sun puts out less energy when its activity is low, but different types of radiation vary to different degrees. Until now, this had been poorly studied...Haigh's measurements showed that visible radiation increased between 2004 and 2007, when it was expected to decrease, and ultraviolet radiation dropped four times as much as predicted."
The other study found that the Earth's tropic zones were being affected by global warming more than the polar regions, which is the exact opposite of the infamous IPCC "consensus" science and climate model output.
"Scientists...took almost 500 million temperature readings from over 3,000 locations around the world maintained by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Climatic Data Center. They tracked temperature changes between 1961 and 2009...These measurements were then correlated with metabolic changes in cold-blooded animals such as frogs, snakes and fish, which do not use their metabolism to regulate their body temperature..."The expectation was that physiological changes would also be greatest in the north temperate-Arctic region, but when we ran the numbers that expectation was flipped on its head,"."
In summary, the Left-Green violent activists should really take a chill pill because neither the climate scientists, nor the climate models, have a clue as to what is really happening to the world's climate.These latest studies affirm the growing recogniton that climate models do not reflect reality and are entirely worthless as climate prediction/forecast tools.
There is one outcome from these studies that is certainly assured, though: send more money! In reality, the purpose of all peer-reviewed studies is to manufacture a reason why more climate research funds are needed for the given author's work.
