1 Dana’s first point is the temperature pause has not
happened. But it has as many researchers
note and which is easily shown by simply looking at the data as Ken
Stewart does:
Dana resorts to the last resort
of the scoundrel’s argument that the missing heat is in the ocean. But this
bird has well and truly flown as the ARGO
data shows no missing heat in the ocean and the satellite measurements show
the missing
energy has left the planet. Even the IPCC grudgingly
concede there is a pause. Dana then refers to Cowan
and Way’s much critiqued paper as the best
available measurement and finally refers to the lamentable comparison of
mankind’s effect on the planet as being like 4 Hiroshima atomic bombs per second. This is a terrible
comparison and a terrible start to Dana’s attempt to rebut Dr Spencer.
2 Dana’s second point is to confirm the increase in CO2 in
the atmosphere is entirely man-made. As various papers by Knorr
and Gloor
et al show the idea that all of the increase in atmospheric CO2 is manmade
is problematic and scientifically inconsistent. Knorr
looks at the airborne fraction, or that part of human emissions of CO2
which remains in the atmosphere. This has been a constant percentage of the
increase in atmospheric CO2 since 1850. This must mean that some if not most of
the CO2 is coming from nature:
The orange linear line is the percentage of human emissions
of CO2 which remain in the atmosphere; the green line is the increase in CO2.
Clearly the human CO2 cannot be responsible for all the increase in CO2. Again
the facts and data contradict the alarmists’ position.
3 Dana’s third point is that the IPCC is really a scientific
body and not political or by inference ideological. As with most of alarmism
the very authority which they use to justify their hysteria proves the opposite
point. The IPCC was never about the science. It was set up on the basis the
