MEP and global warming - Environment - Godfrey Bloom

Remove the exaggerations and it is at once apparent that we are in for 1 Celsius degree of warming, at most, in the whole of the present century.

I say “at most” because it is near-certain that the net effect of temperature feedbacks must be net-negative, so that the feedbacks attenuate the original warming rather than amplifying it. The IPCC’s notion of strongly net-positive feedbacks is not tenable.

The Republican and Democratic leaders of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee will hold a joint press conference Wednesday to discuss efforts to block European Union efforts to require airlines operating in its countries to trade emissions.

THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: Global precipitation fails to obey theory of global warming

Alarmists frequently claim global warming causes increased atmospheric water vapor, and thus allegedly results in increased precipitation, floods, and even snow. However, a plot of all available worldwide data for the CPC Merged Analysis of Precipitation shows there has been a slight decrease in global precipitation over the past 30 years of global warming. In addition, there has been a decline in extremes of precipitation. Satellite and radiosonde data also show, contrary to the theory, that atmospheric water vapor, relative and specific humidity have all declined over the available instrumental records. Another basic tenet of global warming theory bites the dust?
