Nourishing the environmental debate

Has climate change dried up all the commentary too?

by Crikey intern Bhakthi Puvanenthiran

It’s been two days days since the White House released the most significant government paper on climate change to date, and yet environmental opinion writers and commentators the globe over seemed to have missed it. Wait, no, Andrew Bolt had a bit of a go, but more on that later.

The report, which was put together by a really large number of White House agencies agrees with what many have argued for some time — if emissions and greenhouse gases aren’t curbed soon, temperatures, rainfall patterns and sea levels will continue changing for the worse.

“What we would want to have people take away is that climate change is happening now, and it’s actually beginning to affect our lives,” says Thomas R Karl, director of the National Climatic Data Center at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and a principal author of the report.

Most of the coverage of this landmark report has, essentially, swallowed the news whole. Stories from leading news sources (New York Times, The Guardian, Time) are mainly quoting the report, giving some background but leaving it at that. Even the ABC couldn’t find another angle.

Of the little commentary that exists, most of it looks at the “strong language” or a comment made by Jane Lubchenco, Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association suggesting that the report was a “game changer”. Exciting stuff!

As mentioned earlier, Andrew Bolt’s already had a bit of a dig at the report, linking to one of the scientists cited in the report who claims his work was misrepresented. Yes indeed, Professor of Environmental Studies at the University of Colarado Roger Pielke Jr  makes some interesting points on his blog suggesting sections of the report regarding natural disasters were a bit of an academic flop.

While Piekle’s criticisms seem legitimate, his claims focus solely on extreme events like hurricanes and certainly aren’t significant enough to throw doubt on the fundamental claims of the government report.

That aside, the lack of commentary on the report remains puzzling. One plausible explanation is that the release of the report seems to have been intentionally timed to coincide (though it’s been denied) with deliberation over the Waxman-Markey America Climate and Energy Security Bill. Grist, which carried one of the more detailed analyses concludes this:

…sources close to the process affirmed that Tuesday’s release is part of a coordinated effort to rally support for the ACES legislation. The administration is making sure that the document gets to key members of Congress. Report authors confirmed to Grist that they began holding briefings on the assessment on Capitol Hill on Monday and will continue the briefings throughout the week.

Similarly Suzanne Goldenberg writes for the Guardian:

Today’s release is part of a carefully crafted strategy by the White House to help build public support for Obama’s agenda and boost the prospects of a climate change bill now making its way through Congress.”

Perhaps, as the Wall Street Journal reckons, both pundits and politicians alike are too busy tussling over the imminent bill and the way forward with climate change to pay attention to a report that for all intents and purposes was stating the obvious.

    “That aside, the lack of commentary on the report remains puzzling.”

    That’s largely because it’s rubbish. As well as being evidentially bereft, economically reckless and electorally suicidal.

    Look at how ANU Professor Will Steffen refused to answer Senator Fielding’s questions directly saying its now OCEANS that are the climate drivers and then HEY PRESTO releases a report saying rising ocean temperatures are going to kill us all.

    The debate has devolved into a joke. Do you even remember the punch-line?

    The debate has devolved into a joke mainly because the positions left to debate are farcical. The scientific consensus has been stated, its been proven, and its been accepted by anyone actually open to being convinced. I’m all for democracy, but open-mike night at the climate change debate is over. The only questions left to answer are whether we act, or whether we really should give Steve Fielding a nobel prize for being the most prescient climate scientist of his age. One way or another, the debate will be over within a decade.

    Sigh. MPM toeing the company line yet again. Evidentially bereft eh? What information do you have to support that? Are you suggesting that you have better information than all of the Government agencies in the US that wrote the report? What specific points in the report do you think are incorrect?

    Do you really have that much trust in Government agencies PAID BY EASY GRANT MONNIES with strings attached and believe they are squeaky clean?

    An example of the poor state of science now and why MPM said” “That’s largely because it’s rubbish” and meteorologist and Weather Channel founder John Coleman said “global-warming-is-a-crock”.

    Just like the IPCC the ABC the CSIRO or any Government funded agencies with $-grant-$ monnies’s why would they bite the hand that feeds them and not give them a pre concieved biassed outcome ?
    “The latest example is in Queensland where the CSIRO is given $2 million to help the government fight global warming.”

    AND

    How did we ever get to this point where bad science is driving big government we have to struggle so to stop it? The key players are now all in place in Washington and in state governments across America to officially label carbon dioxide as a pollutant and enact laws that tax we citizens for our carbon footprints.

    Russian Scientists Forecast Global Cooling in 6-9 Years – August 25, 2006. Created

    Moscow – Researchers with the Russian Academy of Sciences warned Wednesday that the Earth could be headed for a 60-year cooldown, the news agency Interfax reported.

    Scientists based at the academy’s Pulkovskaya Observatory in St Petersburg, Russia, said they expected a gradual decrease in global temperatures in 2012-15, followed by a more dramatic, 60-year period of cold to come in 2055-60.

    Khabibullo Abdusamatov, chief researcher at the observatory, said the predictions were based on solar cycles, and that after the 60-year glimpse of the Ice Ages warmer weather could be expected

    Victor Manuel Velasco Herrera of the Institute of Geophysics at the University of Mexico states that “In about ten years the Earth will enter a “little ice age” which will last from 60 to 80 years and may be caused by the decrease in solar activity,” according to a report in the major Mexican newspaper Milenio Diario.

    Solar Activity Diminishes; Researchers Predict Another Ice Age – Sunspots have all but vanished in recent years.

    http://www.climatescienceinternational.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=31:vanishing-sunspots-prelude-to-global-cooling&catid=1:latest

    Excerpt: Dr. Kenneth Tapping is worried about the sun. Solar activity comes in regular cycles, but the latest one is refusing to start. Sunspots have all but vanished, and activity is suspiciously quiet. The last time this happened was 400 years ago — and it signaled a solar event known as a “Maunder Minimum,” along with the start of what we now call the “Little Ice Age.” Tapping, a solar researcher and project director for Canada’s National Research Council, says it may be happening again. Overseeing a giant radio telescope he calls a “stethoscope for the sun,” Tapping says, if the pattern doesn’t change quickly, the earth is in for some very chilly weather. […] In 2005, Russian astronomer Khabibullo Abdusamatov predicted the sun would soon peak, triggering a rapid decline in world temperatures. Only last month, the view was echoed by Dr. Oleg Sorokhtin, a fellow of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences. who advised the world to “stock up on fur coats.” Sorokhtin, who calls man’s contribution to climate change “a drop in the bucket,” predicts the solar minimum to occur by the year 2040, with icy weather lasting till 2100 or beyond. Observational data seems to support the claims — or doesn’t contradict it, at least. […] Researcher Dr. Timothy Patterson, director of the Geoscience Center at Carleton University, shares the concern. Patterson is finding “excellent correlations” between solar fluctuations, a relationship that historically, he says doesn’t exist between CO2 and past climate changes.

    Harmful Man Induced Climate Change (Global Warming) Refuted

    “Our Global Climate Is Now Actually Now Cooling”

    “The record cold of the decades of the 1890’s, 1940’s, 1970’s, 1980’s and most recently the bitter northern hemisphere winters of 2000-2001, 2001-2002, 2002-2003 argue against the occurrence of harmful man induced climate change (global warming). Also Winter 2000-2001 and 2004-2005 in Siberian Russia, as well as Winter 2004 in Antarctica were the coldest in recorded history. And let’s not forget that January 2004 in Boston, MA was the coldest January in 111 years. Grand Forks, ND set it’s all time record low of -44 deg. below zero F, Fosston, MN also at -50 deg. below zero F and Saskatchewan, Canada saw minimum temperatures fall to -62 deg. below zero F, all in Winter 2003-2004.”

    “Satellite based systems that measure the complete land, ocean, atmosphere interface show a definite cooling trend between 1979-2004 of -0.5 deg, F.

    Radiosonde balloon launches show no temperature change between 1960-2004. Antarctica has been cooling at the rate of 1.4 deg. F per every ten years for the past 20 years. Also between 1895 and 2004 January average temperature in Florida has fallen approximately 1 deg. F. Also glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica are expanding. How can that possibly be if harmful man induced climate change (global warming) is occurring???”

    The Heartland Institute: Instant Expert’s Guide to Global Warming 1,000 Year Climate History Accurate “Thermometers” in Space – NASA

    “Unlike the surface-based temperatures, global temperature measurements of the Earth’s lower atmosphere obtained from satellites reveal no definitive warming trend over the past two decades. The slight trend that is in the data actually appears to be downward. The largest fluctuations in the satellite temperature data are not from any man-made activity, but from natural phenomena such as large volcanic eruptions from Mt. Pinatubo, and from El Ni?o. So the programs which model global warming in a computer say the temperature of the Earth’s lower atmosphere should be going up markedly, but actual measurements of the temperature of the lower atmosphere reveal no such pronounced activity.” ?

    The IPCC IGNORING OTHER EVIDENCE
    Is there an alternative to ice-core samples, which are but proxies from which assumptions about the historical composition of the atmosphere can be made? “Yes, there are several other proxies, and they lead to different findings about CO2,” Dr. Jaworowski states. “But we don’t need to rely on proxies at all.

    “Scientists from numerous disciplines have been examining CO2 since the beginning of the 19th century, and they have left behind a record of tens of thousands of direct, real-time measurements. These measurements tell a far different story about CO2 — they demonstrate, for example, that CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere have fluctuated greatly, and that several times in the past 200 years CO2 concentrations have exceeded today’s levels.

    “The IPCC rejects these direct measurements, some taken by Nobel Prize winners. They prefer the view of CO2 as seen through ice.”

Because we needed POWER STATIONS to keep warm and they denied them to us by prattling on about Global warming when all along, when all we had was NATURAL CLIMATE CHANGE

    Again the polar ice provides a modern parallel. Last year you were told – shock, horror! — that Arctic sea ice was at its lowest extent since satellite measurements began.
    What went unreported was that Antarctic sea ice was simultaneously at a

In the last part of the 20th century there were 50% more spots per cycle than in the beginning of the 20th century. QED. Since spots are associated with solar flares, more energy was delivered later in the century than earlier.

    THE COST OF PERPETUATING THE COST OF THE GLOBAL WARMING ASSUMPTION
    An assumption that many of us meteorologists find simplistic and dubious, at best.

    After spending $440 billion per year on an unproved theory without convincing results that will sponge $400 out of every man, woman and child in the United States

    http://www.businessandmedia.org/articles/2006/20061108124934.aspx

    In October 2006, media reports called for increased government spending to the tune of $180 billion per year, or $400 per man, woman and child in the U.S. Previously, the media also promoted joining the Kyoto Protocol, which could have costs U.S. taxpayers up to $440 billion per year.

    Humans’ contribution – to global warming remains very much in dispute, but that hasn’t stopped the left-wing crusade against A HARMLESS carbon dioxide and other gases.

    U.S. media have embraced a recent British study that calls for American taxpayers to pay at least 1 percent of gross domestic product or even more – up to $180 billion per year toward a new emissions-lowering system. That works out to a minimum of $400 for every man, woman and child in the United States – per year. If we don’t pay, they say, calamity ensues.

    (A). A crucial chapter of the IPCC’s report was altered between the time of its formal acceptance and its printing.

    (B). Whether in accord with IPCC rules or not—still a hotly debated matter—”there is some evidence that the revision process did result in a subtle shift . . . that . . . tended to favour arguments that aligned with the report’s broad conclusions.” (Critics of the IPCC would have used much stronger words.) The editorial further admits that “phrases that might have been (mis)interpreted as undermining these conclusions have disappeared.”

    (C). “IPCC officials,” quoted (but not named) by Nature, claim that the reason for the revisions to the chapter was “to ensure that it conformed to a ‘policymakers’ summary’ of the full report….” Their claim begs the obvious question: Should not a summary conform to the underlying scientific report rather than vice versa?

    The IPCC summary itself, a political document, is economical with the truth: It has problems with selective presentation of facts, not the least of which is that it totally ignores global temperature data gathered by weather satellites, which contradict the results of models used to predict a substantial future warming. It seems to me that IPCC officials, having failed to validate the current climate models, are now desperately grasping at straws to buttress their (rather feeble) conclusion that “the balance of evidence suggests a discernible human influence on climate.” In this crusade to provide a scientific cover for political action, they are misusing the work of respected scientists who never made extravagant claims about future warming.

    It is clear that politicians and activists striving for international controls on energy use (to be discussed in Geneva in July when the parties to the Global Climate Treaty convene) are anxious to stipulate that the science is settled and trying to marginalize the growing number of scientific critics. It is disappointing, however, to find a respected science journal urging in an editorial that “charges . . . that [the IPCC report on global climate change has been 'scientifically cleansed' should not be allowed to undermine efforts to win political support for abatement strategies."

    New evidence deep beneath the Arctic ice suggests a series of underwater volcanoes have erupted in violent explosions in the past decade.

    http://sweetness-light.com/archive/could-volcanoes-be-melting-the-arctic-ice

    The eruptions — as big as the one that buried Pompei — took place in 1999 along the Gakkel Ridge, an underwater mountain chain snaking 1,800 kilometres (1,100 miles) from the northern tip of Greenland to Siberia.

    Scientists suspected even at the time that a simultaneous series of earthquakes were linked to these volcanic spasms.

    There is new evidence for the earth’s core heating based on variations in the earth’s magnetic field. There is about a six year lag for “global warming” correlating with the amount of time required for the heat to conduct through the mantle. A summary article is here:
    http://www.gsaaj.org/articles/TempPaperv1n22007.pdf

    A new submarine for measuring the temperature of deep oceans found more heat than expected on its first measurement. Deep ocean heat points to the heat coming from the earth’s core. Deep Ocean Heat Measured – (external)

    A related point is that expansion of the oceans from heating is twice as much as expected, with no explanation. The best explanation is that the deep oceans are hotter than expected due to heat coming from the earth’s core.

    Global warming not to blame for warmer North Pole
    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/11/15/ocean_currents_melt_planet/

    According to a team of NASA scientists, decade-long variations in ocean circulation, known as the Arctic Oscillation, have an effect on the oceans’ salinity. A very salty sea is heavier and circulates differently than a less salty one, the team says. This can affect the temperature of the water in the region and thus the local climate.

    The distribution of the decrease, and its implications for the salinity of the water, suggests that the ocean has switched to a clockwise circulation – the same as was dominant before 1990, the team writes.

    AND THIS

    The Amazing Correlations Of The Position and Motions Of The Pole With Volcanic and Earthquake Activity.

    Polar motion is the tectonic engine which creates earthquakes, volcanoes, El Nino, and global warming.

    Mandeville also found that the cosmic factors of the EMS (Earth-Moon-Sun) system are creating new changes in the location and motion of the spin axis which are sufficient to force a major new trend in the shape shifting of the Earth’s crust, most especially in the tropical zones. This shape shifting is pulsed in the frequency of the 6.5 year X Wave (spiral waveform of Chandler’s Wobble) and it has directly induced a huge increase (possibly a fourfold increase) in the release of the Earth’s interior heat into the bottoms of the oceans during the past 50 years, most especially in the Pacific. In otherwords, the 6.5 year spiral X Wave is causing El Nino while the progressively accelerating drift or shift in the location of the pole is inducing the release of a steadily increasing amount of heat with each El Nino. This progressive shift is increasing the severity of each cycle while accumulating as the trend which has come to be known as global warming.

    Unlike all other theories of Earth dynamics and global change, these truths are non-theoretical, are completely free of fancy mathematical sophistry, are strictly observation driven, and can always be found to be consistant with all of the data.

    http://www.michaelmandeville.com/earthmonitor/polarmotion/plots/chandler_wobble_plots.htm
    —————-

    Edgar Cayce claimed in the early 1930’s that when upheavels were apparant in the South Pacific area around 1936, we would know that the equilibrium in the earth had shifted and that the Change in the Earth had commenced. Most strangely, the statement seems as true today for this era’s earth changes as it was true then.

    High price for load of hot air

    http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,21920043-27197,00.html

    The salient facts are these. First, the accepted global average temperature statistics used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change show that no ground-based warming has occurred since 1998. Oddly, this eight-year-long temperature stasis has occurred despite an increase over the same period of 15 parts per million (or 4 per cent) in atmospheric CO2.

    Second, lower atmosphere satellite-based temperature measurements, if corrected for non-greenhouse influences such as El Nino events and large volcanic eruptions, show little if any global warming since 1979, a period over which atmospheric CO2 has increased by 55 ppm (17 per cent).

    Third, there are strong indications from solar studies that Earth’s current temperature stasis will be followed by climatic cooling over the next few decades.

    Not only do humans not dominate Earth’s current temperature trend but the likelihood is that further large sums of public money are shortly going to be committed to, theoretically, combat warming when cooling is the more likely short-term climatic eventuality.

    In one of the more expensive ironies of history, the expenditure of more than $US50 billion ($60 billion) on research into global warming since 1990 has failed to demonstrate any human-caused climate trend, let alone a dangerous one.

    Yet that expenditure will pale into insignificance compared with the squandering of money that is going to accompany the introduction of a carbon trading or taxation system.

    The costs of thus expiating comfortable middle class angst are, of course, going to be imposed preferentially upon the poor and underprivileged.

    Active volcano located beneath the West Antarctic ice sheet

    In the south polar region, Mt. Erebus, on Ross Island, is the most active volcano in Antarctica and the world’s southernmost active volcano. A lava lake has been active within the crater for at least several decades. No special activity is occurring at Mount Erebus at the present time. But in 1992, scientists detected currently active volcanoes beneath the Antarctic ice in both in Marie Byrd Land and the Transantarctic Mountains areas.

    Surprise! There’s an active volcano under Antarctic ice
    http://wattsupwiththat.com/2008/01/22/surprise-theres-an-active-volcano-under-antarctic-ice/

    The volcano on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet began erupting some 2,000 years ago and remains active to this day. Using airborne ice-sounding radar, scientists discovered a layer of ash produced by a ’subglacial’ volcano. It extends across an area larger than Wales. The volcano is located beneath the West Antarctic ice sheet in the Hudson Mountains at latitude 74.6°South, longitude 97°West.

    Received: 28 June 2007 Accepted: 15 December 2007 Published online: 30 January 2008

    Abstract This paper presents updated tree-ring width (TRW) and maximum density (MXD) from Torneträsk in northern Sweden, now covering the period ad 500–2004. By including data from relatively young trees for the most recent period, a previously noted decline in recent MXD is eliminated. Non-climatological growth trends in the data are removed using Regional Curve Standardization (RCS), thus producing TRW and MXD chronologies with preserved low-frequency variability. The chronologies are calibrated using local and regional instrumental climate records. A bootstrapped response function analysis using regional climate data shows that tree growth is forced by April–August temperatures and that the regression weights for MXD are much stronger than for TRW. The robustness of the reconstruction equation is verified by independent temperature data and shows that 63–64% of the instrumental inter-annual variation is captured by the tree-ring data. This is a significant improvement compared to previously published reconstructions based on tree-ring data from Torneträsk. A divergence phenomenon around ad 1800, expressed as an increase in TRW that is not paralleled by temperature and MXD, is most likely an effect of major changes in the density of the pine population at this northern tree-line site. The bias introduced by this TRW phenomenon is assessed by producing a summer temperature reconstruction based on MXD exclusively. The new data show generally higher temperature estimates than previous reconstructions based on Torneträsk tree-ring data. The late-twentieth century, however, is not exceptionally warm in the new record: On decadal-to-centennial timescales, periods around ad 750, 1000, 1400, and 1750 were equally warm, or warmer. The 200-year long warm period centered on ad 1000 was significantly warmer than the late-twentieth century (p < 0.05) and is supported by other local and regional paleoclimate data. The new tree-ring evidence from Torneträsk suggests that this “Medieval Warm Period” in northern Fennoscandia was much warmer than previously recognized.
