CO2 is rising rapidly! CO2 Concentration (ppmv) YEAR
…But global temperature isn’t rising! Air Temperature Anomaly (°C) CO2 Concentration (ppmv) YEAR
Real world data do not support the ocean heat accumulation in the computer models! Model predictions Model predictions Real-world data Bob Tisdale (February 2nd, 2010-corrected version)
“Writing in 2005, Hansen, Willis, Schmidt et al. suggested that GISS model projections had been verified by a solid decade of increasing ocean heat (1993 to 2003). This was regarded as further confirmation the IPCC’s AGW hypothesis. Their expectation was that the Earth’s climate system would continue accumulating heat more or less monotonically. Now that heat accumulation has stopped (and perhaps even reversed), the tables have turned. The same criteria used to support their hypothesis, is now being used to falsify it.” William diPuccio, May 5th, 2009

“So who in the ocean is affected by this [acidification; ‘Osteoporosis of the sea’]?— Dr. Jane Lubchenco, Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere and NOAA Administrator, December 2, 2009, testimony on “The Administration’s View on the State of Climate Science” (1:30-1:55 of her recorded testimony http://globalwarming.house.gov/pubs?id=0014) Any plants or animals that have a shell or skeleton made of calcium carbonate [or chalk]. The hard parts of many familiar animals such as oysters, clams, corals, lobsters, crabs … are made of calcium carbonate. ”

(4) CO2 emission control agenda: NOT a zero-sum proposition
Bill Gates’s Annual Letter (January 25, 2010):“The final communiqué of the Copenhagen Summit, held last December, talks about mobilizing $10 billion per year in the next three years and $100 billion per year by 2020 for developing countries, which is over three quarters of all foreign aid now given by the richest countries. I am concerned that some of this money will come from reducing other categories of foreign aid, especially health. If just 1 percent of the $100 billion goal came from vaccine funding, then 700,000 more children could die from preventable diseases.”
The CO2 Monster: Why It is Not the BIG BAD WOLF! ClimateGate+IPCC proved conclusively the thorough corruptions of climate science in the service of a confused mix of socio-political agendas related to energy, economics, environment and ecology A “magical” CO2 knob for controlling weather and climate simply DOES NOT EXIST. CO2 is not an “air pollutant” – It is food for plants and marine life!
