American scientists say that variations in atmospheric dust levels affect the temperature of the Atlantic ocean far more than global warming. Research indicates that 70 per cent of the change in Atlantic temperature over recent decades has resulted from reduced dust, rather than climate change.

The new analysis comes from scientists in the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the University of Wisconsin. They say that the Atlantic temperature trend has been warmer by approximately a quarter of a degree each decade since 1980: but that most of this is actually because more sunlight is reaching the sea due to reducing levels of dirt in the air above it.

“A lot of this upward trend in the long-term pattern can be explained just by dust storms and volcanoes,” says Amato Evan of Wisconsin uni. “About 70 percent of it is just being forced by the combination of dust and volcanoes, and about a quarter of it is just from the dust storms themselves.”

“This makes sense, because we don’t really expect global warming to make the ocean [temperature] increase that fast,” he adds.

Evan and his collaborators at Wisconsin and the NOAA produced their figures by combining satellite dust data with Atlantic temperature records over the last 26 years.

The researchers say that predicting what will happen to atmospheric dust levels in future is difficult, with volcanoes notoriously random and African dust storms poorly understood. Nonetheless, according to Amato, future ocean-warming models will need to make allowance for them somehow or their predictions will be well out of whack.

It is ALL about power and control. It is now all about how the U.N. will try to take over and control the world. It is all about how to knock America to it’s knees to create the “equal result” world these socialists all want.

A United Nations document on “climate change” that will be distributed to a major environmental conclave next week envisions a huge reordering of the world economy, likely involving trillions of dollars in wealth transfer, millions of job losses and gains, new taxes, industrial relocations, new tariffs and subsidies, and complicated payments for greenhouse gas abatement schemes and carbon taxes — all under the supervision of the world body.

Those and other results are blandly discussed in a discretely worded United Nations “information note” on potential consequences of the measures that industrialized countries will likely have to take to implement the Copenhagen Accord, the successor to the Kyoto Treaty, after it is negotiated and signed by December 2009. The Obama administration has said it supports the treaty process if, in the words of a U.S. State Department spokesman, it can come up with an “effective framework” for dealing with global warming.

What is clear is that the Democrats and Obama have gone ALL in on this far left agenda to usurp the American dream and turn it into the U.N. nightmare.

OK, maybe these are just coincidences.

On Monday, Climate Wire reported that Danish Socialist MEP Dan Jørgensen, vice-chairman of the European Parliament’s Committee on the Environment, called for Europe’s cap-and-trade scheme to be more purely socialist like — wait for it — Barack Obama’s.

Today, E&E News reports (subscription required) that Obama “climate czarina” Carol Browner — who was, until her appointment to a new post created to skirt constitutional Senate confirmation requirements for such influential posts, was an official of the Socialist International — is behind Obama’s cap-and-trade proposal and particularly the effort to sneak it in the filibuster-proof budget reconciliation measure.

Seriously the liberals and the Democrats would allow Bin Laden to run on their ticket if he supported the GW alarmist view.

“I am appalled at the selection of James Hansen as this year’s recipient of the AMS’s highest award – the Rossby Research Medal,” Gray wrote. “James Hansen has not been trained as a meteorologist. His formal education has been in astronomy. His long records of faulty global climate predictions and alarmist public pronouncements have become increasingly hollow and at odds with reality. Hansen has exploited the general public’s lack of knowledge of how the globe’s climate system functions for his own benefit. His global warming predictions, going back to 1988 are not being verified.”

According to Gray’s statement, Hansen’s famous 1988 prediction of global warming had turned out “to be very much less than he had projected,” but Hansen is still out campaigning about the issue as a global crisis.

“Hansen and his legion of environmental-political supporters (with no meteorological-climate background) have done monumental damage to an open and honest discussion of the Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) question,” Gray wrote. “He and his fellow collaborators (and their media sycophantic followers) are responsible for the brainwashing of a large segment of the American public about a grossly exaggerated human-induced warming threat that does not exist.”

Although many have called for Hansen’s dismissal, including his former supervisor John Theon, a retired senior NASA atmospheric scientist, Gray explained why he thought Hansen has survived at NASA with his political stances concerning global warming.

“It is surprising that Hansen has been able to get away with his unrealistic modeling efforts for so long,” Gray wrote. “One explanation is that he has received strong support from Senator/Vice President Al Gore who for over three decades has attempted to make political capital out of increasing CO2 measurements. Another reason is the many environmental and political groups (including the mainstream media) who are eager to use Hansen’s modeling results as justification to push their own special interests that are able to fly under the global warming banner.”

Gray also wrote that the AMS had been commandeered by a number of global warming activists, hence the decision to bestow Hansen with the organization’s highest honor.
“We AMS members have allowed a small group of AMS administrators, climate modelers, and CO2 warming sympathizers to maneuver the internal workings of our society to support AGW policies irrespective of what our rank-and-file members might think,” Gray wrote. “This small organized group of AGW sympathizers has indeed hijacked our society.”

“If it means those who are not fighting and are sitting in their homes, then talking to them is meaningless. This really is surprising the Taliban.”

Obama is way out of his league…he is going to get a lot of innocent people killed.

As of 2011 taxes on diesel fuel were to be raised in two stages by 0.40 kronor (0.04 dollars), as would taxes on carbon-dioxide emissions while the forestry and agriculture sectors would be included in emissions trading schemes. The measures that included taxes on heating were part of a pending bill on energy and enviroment, and the goal was to cut greenhouse gas emissions by a further 2 million tons by 2020. “A price tag on climate changing emissions underlines that emissions carry a cost that have to be paid,” Carlgren said.

Interesting this guy is named “Borg”…resistance is futile you will be assimilated.

Seriously the environmental whackos are totally out of control in their quest for control and manipulation of the population and what we are allowed to do.

I mean speak about the perfect scam…no one can prove it one or another, no one will be around if it comes to fruition, and yet we take a politicians word for it.

Of course the MSM will skip coverage of the 2009 International Conference on Climate Change in New York. You will love this…the theme of the climate change conference:
“Global Warming: Was it ever really a crisis?”

Yet Al Gore think it is silly to discuss…the global warming scam by Gore will slip into the PT Barnum world of “there is sucker born every minute” by June and by this time next year he will go back to being a nothing and feeling guilty about his father’s crimes on the environment.

Here are some key points that are going to be discussed this year:

• Does the plateau in global temperatures during the past eight years contradict computer model predictions, and therefore requires a reexamination of the greenhouse theory?

• Do proxy records of ancient climates contradict how computer models characterize the role of carbon dioxide in climate change?

• Does the modern warming have the “fingerprint” of having been caused by greenhouse gases, or is it more likely the result of other forcings?

• Is there a case—either in science or economics—for governments to legislate reductions in greenhouse gas emissions? Should such efforts be suspended until the case for anthropogenic global warming is stronger?

All you had to do was look at the science and then follow the money trail.
