New British Study Confirms Climate Change Consensus, Daily Mail Gets It Totally Wrong [Greg Laden's Blog]
Since the Daily Mail is a British thing and the latest form of entertainment in Britain is Libel Tourism, I won’t say to you that the Daily Mail is a rag full of lies and deceit. Instead, I’ll let you be the judge.
The study:
Decline in solar output unlikely to offset global warming
23 January 2012 – New research has found that solar output is likely to reduce over the next 90 years but that will not substantially delay expected increases in global temperatures caused by greenhouse gases.
Carried out by the Met Office and the University of Reading, the study establishes the most likely changes in the Sun’s activity and looks at how this could affect near-surface temperatures on Earth.
It found that the most likely outcome was that the Sun’s output would decrease up to 2100, but this would only cause a reduction in global temperatures of 0.08 °C. This compares to an expected warming of about 2.5 °C over the same period due to greenhouse gases (according to the IPCC’s B2 scenario for greenhouse gas emissions that does not involve efforts to mitigate emissions).
Gareth Jones, a climate change detection scientist with the Met Office, said: “This research shows that the most likely change in the Sun’s output will not have a big impact on global temperatures or do much to slow the warming we expect from greenhouse gases.

This sort of science is derived not from a disinterested analysis of the facts, but from an agenda which seeks to profit by controlling the burning of carboniferous fuels. The CO2 = global warming fantasy has long been discredited, except in the avaricious and foetid nest of the usual suspects, ie the criminal Rothschild banking cartel.
The sun, believe it or not, is the basic driver for temperatures on earth. This may surprise you; from the tone of the article you would be forgiven for thinking that CO2 somehow heats things up. CO2, however, merely re-radiates incoming solar energy back down towards earth’s surface at a longer wavelength; this radiation cannot penetrate the surface of the ocean to a depth of more than a millimetre. This fact in and of itself should alert you to the idea that CO2 levels cannot have much to do with melting icecaps and oceanic warming. However, incoming solar radiation can penetrate the ocean to a depth of 100 metres or so, ie the heat storage capacity of the earth is entirely dependent on the sun, and not on CO2. A further modifier of earth’s climate which is wholly unaddressed by CO2=GW advocates, is that the magnetic field of the sun inversely affects cloud cover on earth; and it is this cloud cover which determines surface temperatures to an extremely significant extent. This latter, and crucial, fact is not even an input into the “models” which are used to predict the global warming calamity which is allegedly almost upon us; but which nobody apart from the acknowledged fraudsters at the University of East Anglia still believes in. And even they only believe because their salaries are dependent upon repeating this sort of BS. What we have here is what is known as Science Fraud. There is a very great deal of it about, as a direct result of its financial subservience to, and dependence upon, Big Business, as opposed to public funding. Science has become a Corporate Whore.
If you appreciate the truth rather than lies, I suggest that you check out Peter Taylor’s complete demolition of AGW, which he has enshrined, entirely without financial support from anyone, in his book “Chill”.
