WASHINGTON, Sept. 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A new analysis of peer-reviewed literature reveals that more than 500 scientists have published evidence refuting at least one element of current man-made global warming scares. More than 300 of the scientists found evidence that 1) a natural moderate 1,500-year climate cycle has produced more than a dozen global warmings similar to ours since the last Ice Age and/or that 2) our Modern Warming is linked strongly to variations in the sun's irradiance. "This data and the list of scientists make a mockery of recent claims that a scientific consensus blames humans as the primary cause of global temperature increases since 1850," said Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Dennis Avery.

Other researchers found evidence that 3) sea levels are failing to rise importantly; 4) that our storms and droughts are becoming fewer and milder with this warming as they did during previous global warmings; 5) that human deaths will be reduced with warming because cold kills twice as many people as heat; and 6) that corals, trees, birds, mammals, and butterflies are adapting well to the routine reality of changing climate.

Despite being published in such journals such as Science, Nature and Geophysical Review Letters, these scientists have gotten little media attention. "Not all of these researchers would describe themselves as global warming skeptics," said Avery, "but the evidence in their studies is there for all to see."

The names were compiled by Avery and climate physicist S. Fred Singer, the co-authors of the new book Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, mainly from the peer-reviewed studies cited in their book. The researchers' specialties include tree rings, sea levels, stalagmites, lichens, pollen, plankton, insects, public health, Chinese history and astrophysics.

"We have had a Greenhouse Theory with no evidence to support it-except a moderate warming turned into a scare by computer models whose results have never been verified with real-world events," said co-author Singer. "On the other hand, we have compelling evidence of a real-world climate cycle averaging 1470 years (plus or minus 500) running through the last million years of history. The climate cycle has above all been moderate, and the trees, bears, birds, and humans have quietly adapted."

Anatidaephobia: The fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you.

Hmmm.. now even Bush's chief boffin has accepted global warming is due to pollution.

Wonder what's the next step?

I agree that there are far too many 'doomsday' messages out there, but we still must accept that we 'humankind' have messed too much with mother nature and we all need to do something that will ultimately reverse some of the damage done. Please check out my forum, 'Organic Farming' it is about our efforts to restore Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique. Here, we are trying to implement practical solutions that will have sustainable and positive impacts on the lives of thousands of people and, ultimately, on the environment.

The hole in the Ozone layer is is perhaps something a bit more real for those of us that live in the Southern Hemisphere. Down here the sun is fierce. It takes very little time outside to get sunburnt if you go out without sunscreen.

So even is the current global warming isn't entirely the fault of humankind, I for one believe that we should at least try to minimise our contribution to it. It does no harm to try and live with nature rather than trying to be outside of it.

Hey,

Why don't we just build a couple huge solar powered carbon scrubber plants out in the desert somewhere just to shut these people up. I mean two humongous plants doing nothing but taking CO2 out of the air would offset our "Carbon footprint" a heck of lot more than planting trees will. And the thought of factories decreasing CO2 will just drive the econuts well...nuts.

I can dream *sigh*

why do people lie so much?

doesn't it get tiring?

We think the information in Ms Ducky's posting seems reasonable. Over that last fifty years, society has had a list of fad hysterias such as DDT, nuclear energy, atom bombs, UFOs, genetically altered food, overpopulation, and global warming. Some of our older relatives say the best time of their lives was marching in protests in the 1960's. The hysteria about global warming is not so much about meteorology or physics as it is about psychology.
