“Analysis of warming since 1881 shows that most of that increase in global temperature happened before 1919 — before the more recent, sharp rise in the amount of. carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, said Thomas Karl, of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C.
While global climate warmed overall since 1881, it actually cooled during the period from 1921 to 1979 before warming again, Karl said.
“In spite of all the well- publicized concern about global warming, you must understand that there is still considerable uncertainty among scientific experts about a number of critical factors which determine global warming,’’ NOAA administrator John Knauss said in a statement,”
“I don’t believe there is a climate crisis,” Clauser said during at Quantum Korea. “The world we live in today is filled with misinformation. It is up to each of you to serve as judges, distinguishing truth from falsehood based on accurate observations of phenomena.”
During July 2012, the Petermann glacier in Greenland calved off an iceberg, which academics and the press blamed on the burning of fossil fuels.
“Muenchow said climate change was a factor in the current state of the Petermann Glacier. He said this glacier is as far back toward the land as it has been since the start of the Industrial Revolution more than 150 years ago.”
Since then, the glacier has grown well past the 2011 terminus. The press reports this growth as “rapid melting” and blames it on the burning of fossil fuels.
