tomus; I wouldn't say it was a 'hoax', but when it comes to catastrophic man-made global warming theory, the evidence just isn’t there to support it. Current global temperature fluctuations are within normal historic climate patterns. As for predicting future climate behaviour, this is a fool’s errand.
The bloodcurdling predictions of apocalyptic global warming are mostly derived from computer modelling. But climate is a vastly complex, chaotic, non-linear system that cannot be predicted.
The global temperature measurements brought to support the modelling predictions are wildly inaccurate and contradictory. And some scientists — acting more like ideological zealots — have manipulated the available data to suppress evidence that contradicts the theory.
Contrary to current claims, extreme weather events aren’t occurring more frequently. Sea level has been increasing by about 8 inches per century for hundreds of years, and at most coastal locations this is primarily due to changes in land level associated with tectonics and land use.
The Antarctic interior recorded its coldest April-to-September this year since records began in 1957. It was also the station’s second coldest winter (June, July and August) on record, with an average seasonal temperature 3.4 degrees C below the average for winter recorded from 1881-2010.
Climate change dogma holds that rising CO2 levels inescapably push up global temperatures. But these temperatures have actually been flat-lining for the past seven years. Globally, it’s actually cooler now than it was in 2015. This undermines the entire theory.
One of the world’s most distinguished meteorologists, professor Richard Lindzen, has said that not only does the data show no trend towards extreme temperatures, but the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change agrees there is no evident trend.
