New NASA Data Blow Gaping Hold In Global Warming
NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth’s atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space than alarmist computer models have predicted, reports a new study in the peer-reviewed science journal Remote Sensing. The study indicates far less future global warming will occur than United Nations computer models have predicted, and supports prior studies indicating increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide trap far less heat than alarmists have claimed.
Study co-author Dr. Roy Spencer, a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and U.S. Science Team Leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer flying on NASA’s Aqua satellite, reports that real-world data from NASA’s Terra satellite contradict multiple assumptions fed into alarmist computer models.
“The satellite observations suggest there is much more energy lost to space during and after warming than the climate models show,” Spencer said in a July 26 University of Alabama press release. “There is a huge discrepancy between the data and the forecasts that is especially big over the oceans.”
In addition to finding that far less heat is being trapped than alarmist computer models have predicted, the NASA satellite data show the atmosphere begins shedding heat into space long before United Nations computer models predicted.
The new findings are extremely important and should dramatically alter the global warming debate.
Scientists on all sides of the global warming debate are in general agreement about how much heat is being directly trapped by human emissions of carbon dioxide (the answer is “not much”). However, the single most important issue in the global warming debate is whether carbon dioxide emissions will indirectly trap far more heat by causing large increases in atmospheric humidity and cirrus clouds. Alarmist computer models assume human carbon dioxide emissions indirectly cause substantial increases in atmospheric humidity and cirrus clouds (each of which are very effective at trapping heat), but real-world data have long shown that carbon dioxide emissions are not causing as much atmospheric humidity and cirrus clouds as the alarmist computer models have predicted.
The new NASA Terra satellite data are consistent with long-term NOAA and NASA data indicating atmospheric humidity and cirrus clouds are not increasing in the manner predicted by alarmist computer models. The Terra satellite data also support data collected by NASA’s ERBS satellite showing far more longwave radiation (and thus, heat) escaped into space between 1985 and 1999 than alarmist computer models had predicted. Together, the NASA ERBS and Terra satellite data show that for 25 years and counting, carbon dioxide emissions have directly and indirectly trapped far less heat than alarmist computer models have predicted.
In short, the central premise of alarmist global warming theory is that carbon dioxide emissions should be directly and indirectly trapping a certain amount of heat in the earth’s atmosphere and preventing it from escaping into space. Real-world measurements, however, show far less heat is being trapped in the earth’s atmosphere than the alarmist computer models predict, and far more heat is escaping into space than the alarmist computer models predict.
When objective NASA satellite data, reported in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, show a “huge discrepancy” between alarmist climate models and real-world facts, climate scientists, the media and our elected officials would be wise to take notice. Whether or not they do so will tell us a great deal about how honest the purveyors of global warming alarmism truly are.

I hope the claims here are correct, but the frequent use of “alarm” and its derivatives indicates it was written more in order to sway than to inform. Calling the other sided “alarmist” is alarmist in its own right.

Pray tell, why are the polar ice caps melting so fast? Why are glaciers receeding? Maybe it’s something else. Curious…

hope so….

Clown has not a clue what they are talking about

If this is true it means that with less heat being trapped than predicted we are still melting the world’s glaciers and ice sheets, generating huge droughts and monsoons that destroy huge regions of the planet along with bigger hurricanes and tornadoes. Every day we are now breaking a weather record somewhere. Just great. I can’t wait for act two of this play. Wake up America! Stop being stupid.

This “study” is just a media pass out sheet provided by the scientific prostitutes at the Heartland Institute.
“Study co-author Dr. Roy Spencer….”
http://www.exxonsecrets.org/html/personfactsheet.php?id=19
Creationist and climate denialist in a 2 fer 1 package deal!
“reports a new study in the peer-reviewed science journal Remote Sensing.”
Remote Sensing suggests that authors submit 5 reviewers for their paper. What a great system to have your paper “reviewed” by your very own friends and supporters – who are also on the Oil/Coal company payroll!
Article submitted to Yahoo News by:
“James M. Taylor is senior fellow for environment policy at The Heartland Institute”
The Heartland Institute is bought and paid for by Big Carbon.
http://www.exxonsecrets.org/html/orgfactsheet.php?id=41
“….and managing editor of Environment & Climate News.”
Environment & Climate News is the pass-out sheet for The Heartland Institute. It should surprise nobody that Dr. Roy Spenser is also a member of the very same Heartland Institute.
Accepting the above scientific prostitution is like accepting an article claiming that cigarette smoking is good for your health written by Dr. Joe Quack, accepted for publication by a vanity publishing newsletter with flimsy reviewing requirements, and it’s all promoted by the “Fuzzy Puppy Institute” that just so happens to be on the payroll of the Tabacco companies.

NASA is Government owned and funded and controlled. Why is their “facts” to be taken as truth while the rest of the world’s scientists are poo-pooed? We can argue all we want or ignore it for now, but, inevitably, we will not be able to do either. It will be proven fact, just like cancer from smoking was finally accepted as fact after years of paid ‘statistics’ that said otherwise.

Here’s the bottom line…the author of this piece and a few other sell-out “scientists” have been paid millions by the fossil fuel industry to promote doubt. PO should be taken out and horse whipped for providing a forum for the 1% of the scientific community that denies global climate change.
On a personal note, my family visited Glacier National Park. At the creation of the park some 70 magnificent and healthy glaciers existed. Today there are only three and based on current trends GLACIER park will have no glaciers in ten years time. I guess it’s just coincidence.

The idea that only carbon dioxide is responsible for climate changes is collapsing now. The elitist money creators in London wanted a global carbon trading scheme to make huge profits with pollution rights, financial derivatives and global carbon taxation. But this greedy elitist business model isn’t working anymore because the greater majority of humanity doesn’t buy this scientific fairy tale.
The biggest force for climate change on Earth is surprisingly Sun’s activity which depends on inner solar and outer galactic circumstances.
Our solar system past the galactic plane about 2 Million years ago and is now heading towards the Northern region of our galaxy. It is entering a galactic Gamma-ray field that will have profound effects on the Sun’s radiation and solar wind activity. This change in Sun’s activity will have profound influence on Earth’s geological and climate stability. The ionization rate of Earth’s upper atmospheric layers will increase in all probability very sharply.
