SCIENTIST FORCED TO RECANT by Grant Lockie Sunday June 30, 2002 at 10:28 AM |

A Scientist has been forced to deny his work because it accidently disproved the Global Warming Theory - the Inquisition returns!!!
In a scientific establishment 50-percent
financed by the government few can resist the cult of human-caused global
warming.
Keigwin, though, is the more intriguing
case.
These previous findings, echoed by Keigwin's,
are devastating to the theory of human-caused global warming.
Thus the case for human-caused global warming
can no longer rest on the mere fact of contemporary warming.
By all reasonable standards, Keigwin is
a hero.
As the Wall Street Journal reported,
"Dr. Keigwin warns that the results are not representative of the
Earth as a whole. He says that the importance of his research isn't in
the data per se, but rather that marine geologists can undertake such a
study at all.... He wants to put the issue behind him."
Scores of scientists have been pressured
to embrace the cult pressures that befall any critic of the cult of human-caused
global warming.
Keigwin's denials of his own significance
are all pathetically misleading.
Summing up the case is an article published
earlier this year by Wallace Broecker in the prestigious pages of Science
entitled "Was the Medieval Warm Period Global?" His answer is a resounding
yes.
Overall, the situation is simple.
From May, 2001 American
Spectator article. http://home.austarnet.com.au/yours/Greenhouse_Bullcrap.htm

The
Galileo of Global Warming
It's
not PC to blame Mother Nature
A 54-year-old oceanographer at Woods Hole
Observatory near the Massachusetts Cape, he found a way to concoct a 3,000-year
record of the temperatures of the Sargasso Sea near Bermuda through analyzing
thermally dependent oxygen isotopes in fossils on the ocean floor.
He discovered that temperatures a thousand
years ago, during the so-called medieval climate optimum, were two degrees
Celsius warmer than today's and that the average temperature over the last
three millennia was slightly warmer than today's.
Roughly confirming this result are historical
records -- the verdancy of Greenland at the time of the Vikings, the little
ice age of the mid-1700s, a long series of temperature readings collected
in Britain over the last 300 years documenting a slow recovery from the
ice age, reports of medieval temperatures from a variety of sources, and
records of tree rings and ice cores.
If the Earth was significantly warmer
a thousand years ago, if we have been on a re-warming trend for three centuries,
if, as other even more voluminous evidence suggests, the Earth has repeatedly
seen mini-cycles of warming and cooling of about 1,500 years duration,
then any upward drift in temperatures we may be seeing now -- included
scattered anecdotes of thinning arctic ice -- is likely to be the result
of such cycles.
To justify drastic action like the Kyoto
treaty requiring a reduction in U.S. energy consumption of some 30 percent,
unfeasible without destroying the U.S. economy, the human-caused global
warming advocates would have to demonstrate a persuasive mechanism of human
causation. This they show no sign of being able to do.
Grasping the point, scientists at Exxon
Mobil recently used the Keigwin data in a Wall Street Journal ad
and the PC bees hit the fan.
Not only did he invent an ingenious way
to compile an early temperature record, but he made a giant contribution
to discrediting a movement that would impose a deadly energy clamp on the
world economy.
But soon enough his government-financed
colleagues began to exert pressure.
Was he a tool of the oil companies?
Lordy no, he wrote, in an indignant letter
to Exxon Mobil, denying that his findings had anything much to do with
the global warming issue.
Hey, he's got a new government grant to
find out "what's causing a substantial warming in the Atlantic Ocean off
Nova Scotia."
He has not reached any conclusion -- but
according to the Journal, "he gives a nod to global warming concerns,
saying 'I'd take a guess.'"
In a scientific establishment 50 percent
financed by government, few can resist.
An eminent scientist who was once the
leading critic of global warming had to stop writing on the subject in
order to continue his research.
The source of the pressure that ended
his publications was then-Senator Al Gore.
Later this scientist coauthored a key
paper with Arthur Robinson -- organizer of a petition against Kyoto signed
by 17,000 scientists -- but had to remove his name under pressure from
Washington.
The temperature pattern he found in the
Sargasso Sea is indeed a global phenomenon.
Sallie Baliunas and Willi Soon of Harvard
have uncovered a new oxygen isotope study that extends this temperature
record another 3,000 years based on six millennia of evidence from peat
bogs in northeastern China.
The peat bog records both confirm Keigwin
and demonstrate an even warmer period that lasted for 2,000 years.
During this era, beginning some 4,000
years ago and running until the birth of Christ, temperatures averaged
between 1.5 and 3 degrees Celsius higher than they do today.
As Craig and Keith Idso report in a March
7 editorial on their Webpage,
Broecker recounts substantial evidence for a series of climatic warmings
spaced at roughly 1,500-year intervals. Broecker explains the science of
reconstructing the histories of surface air temperatures by examining temperature
data from "boreholes." From some 6,000 boreholes on all continents, this
evidence confirms that the Earth was significantly warmer a thousand years
ago and two degrees Celsius warmer in Greenland. This data, Robinson warns,
is less detailed and authoritative than the evidence from the Sargasso
Sea and from the Chinese peat bogs.
But together with the independent historical
record, the collective evidence is irrefutable. Thousands of years of data
demonstrate that in the face of a few hundred parts per million increase
in CO2, temperatures today, if anything, are colder than usual.
Temperatures in Antarctica, for example,
have been falling for the last 20 years.
The global satellite record of atmospheric
temperature, confirmed by weather balloons, shows little change one way
or another for the last three decades.
Terrestrial temperature stations, on average,
show more warming over the past century, but many are located in areas
that were rural when the stations were established and are densely urban
today, a change which causes local warming.
The dominance of natural cycles globally
is not surprising since, as Baliunas and Soon report, the impact of changes
in sun energy output are some 70,000 times more significant than all human
activity put together.
Politicized scientists with government
grants and dubious computer temperature models persuaded the world's politicians
to make pompous fools of themselves in Kyoto. Socialist politicians were
happy to join an absurd movement to impose government regulations over
the world energy supply and thus over the world economy. The scientific
claims and computer models have now blown up in their faces. But rather
than admit error they persist in their fear-mongering. When this happened
with DDT, hundreds of millions of people died of malaria. They continue
to die. How many people would die as a result of an energy clamp on global
capitalism?

Take your Right shit elsewhere by Reader Sunday June 30, 2002 at 11:45 AM |
Take your Right shit elsewhere .. to the corporate media, and don't come back
gelul by spring Sunday June 30, 2002 at 12:05 PM |
Hela. leuk zo een artikel uit mei 2001. Je vergeet trouwens de juiste link weer te geven, http://home.austarnet.com.au/yours/Scientist_forced_to_recant.htm
En tjsa, als 150 mensen a zeggen en eentje lijkt b te zeggen, en als gevraagd wordt of hij dit kan bevestigen en dan zegt dat wat hij zegt, a niet uitsluit. Dan betekent dit geenszins dat hij daartoe is gedwongen. Kortom, inquisitie your ass. Dit artikel is een rechts-propagandistisch stuk dat juist wil dat Amerikanen zo veel mogelijk energie mogen opslurpen totdat de aarde dood gaat.
de veronderstellingen van het bovenstaand artikel zijn ook alleen maar als, als, als.
"If the Earth was significantly warmer a thousand years ago, if we have been on a re-warming trend for three centuries, if, as other even more voluminous evidence suggests, the Earth has repeatedly seen mini-cycles of warming and cooling of about 1,500 years duration, then any upward drift in temperatures we may be seeing now -- included scattered anecdotes of thinning arctic ice -- is likely to be the result of such cycles."
Dan valt er een klein dingetje bij te voegen en dat is dat de menselijke invloed op die cycles van verwarming groter is dan 1000 jaar.
Nuances by Vinkje Sunday June 30, 2002 at 01:49 PM |
Nuances, waar vind je ze nog.
Ik lees hier twee tegengestelde ideeën. Hoe kies je dan?
Met mijn onderbuik kies ik voor Spring.
Hoewel, als hij "lul" schrijft, voel ik plots weer sympathie voor Grant.
Niets is duidelijk. Het is niet zwart/wit.
En toch moeten we de waarheid zoeken. Altijd weer opnieuw.
Samen en af en toe apart, maar op het einde wel altijd weer samen.

La revue dont provient cet article est clairement un outil de propagande industrielle.
Le cynisme du titre de leur dernière revue papier est à cet égard très révélateur quant à l'orientation pro-gouvernementale, et donc pro-bigbusiness, de cette revue : "Don't fight the power".
Rappelons que la famille Bush (the power ;p) fait du business dans le secteur de l'énergie, qui est comme par hasard l'industrie la plus menacée par le traité de Kyoto. Les sommes en jeu sont énormes.
Alors à votre avis, qui entre les activistes écologistes et l'industrie a le plus d'intérêts financiers à corrompre des scientifiques ? Et qui a le plus de moyens financiers pour le faire ?
Voici l'avis de scientifiques non corrompuEs et spécialiséEs dans le domaine du réchauffement climatique :
Climate change: "Greenhouse effect created by humans: Myth or reality?" [Anne Mette K. Jørgensen, Ph.D., Head of Research Department, Denmarks Meteorological Institute (DMI) and Henrik Feddersen, Ph.D., Danish Climate Centre, DMI] :
http://www.au.dk/~cesamat/debate.Jorgens.Fedders.pdf
D'autres prévisions sont encore plus alarmantes, et d'autant plus que l'actualité les confirment :

Enfin voici deux articles de presse qui montrent de quoi sont capables le big business et les services secrets lorsqu'il s'agit de protéger les intérêts de certains lobbies industriels :

Als we dit medium willen laten overleven, kan het best geen kwaad als de kemphanen af en toe wat lieve elfenwoordjes toegefluisterd wordt. Het helpt best wel hoor, af en toe.
Want op het eind moeten we het inderdaad toch weer samen doen. En eigenlijk willen we allen leven in een mooie wereld voor onze kinderen. Spijtig dat we elkanders woorden soms verwarren met hun diepere bange, zoekende Zelf.
Keep spreading those vibes
