NEWS-TIMES - The world is cooling

Published: Friday, May 2, 2008 3:05 PM EDT
The new Jason oceanographic satellite, an undated and more accurate version of the Poseidon satellite that has monitored the oceans since 1992, says the “persistent Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) has turned into its cool phase, telling us to expect moderately lower global temperatures until 2030,” reports the Canada Free Press.

Noting the Jason satellite is run by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the newspaper says the PDO is driven by the “huge Aleutian low in the Arctic — but we don’t know what controls the Aleutian low. Nonetheless, 22½-year double sunspot cycles have been identified in South African rain, Indian monsoons, Australian droughts and rains in the United States’ far Southwest … arguing that the sun, not CO2, controls the earth’s temperatures.”

In another finding, the Antarctic deep sea is growing colder, stimulating the circulation of the oceanic water masses, reports Science Daily. Directed by Dr. Eberhard Fahrbach, oceanographer at the Alfred Wegener Institute, 58 scientists from 10 countries aboard the research vessel Polarstern in the Southern Ocean from Feb. 6 to April 16, studying ocean currents, temperature, salt content and trace substances in Antarctic seawater, made this finding.

Last month we pointed out that thus far in the 21st century, there has been no recorded global warming, raising the possibility that the world is entering a period of global cooling.


The Free Press reports that ancient tree rings in Baja California and Mexico show there have been 11 PDO shifts since 1650, averaging 23 years in length.

One can deduce from this that the world’s global climate cycles from warming to cooling and back again.

We also said month that global warming is not a crisis. The claim that it is a “crisis” is thoroughly debunked by leading scientists around the world. A DVD, “Unstoppable Solar Cycles: The Real Story of Greenland,” emphasizes that as climate change occurs — and it has since earth’s existence — the temperature rises first, followed by CO2, not the other way around. This means global warming is natural — and unstoppable.

But don’t expect Al Gore or his eco-activists who delight in demagoguery and relish wallowing in perceived crises to agree. They are the chief priests of a new religion based on scaremongering aimed at wreaking our economy.

" Various factors affect the climate including greenhouse gasses. This article relfects the typical concerted effort by "skeptics" to cast doubt.

Pathetic "
