Al Gore didnt mention this

If the data doesnt fit, fix the data

Size Does Matter!!
NOTE "Human additions" represent such a small
percentage of the total Greenhouse Effect (0.28)
that they are barely visible in this "pie chart"
at the scale represented.

Man Made CO2 is causing Global Warming?

Mauna Loa Volcano vs. Arctic
The obvious question is why didnt they use flask
data from the arctic?

Man Made CO2 is causing Global Warming?

• Data is shifted 83 years
• Falling CO2 is masked
• Doesnt make any sense

Why use core samples when flask samples exist?

• Max 550
• AVG 335
• Current 370
• Current barely above average
• CO2 is no where near record high of even last 200
  Yrs
• Direct measurement
• Multiple locations

17
Deja Vu
BTW, the thermometer was invented in 1714

What does the longest continual direct
measurement of temperature in the US say?

Have you seen the Medieval Warming Period?
20
Problem is, these charts were known well before
GW became fashionable.
21
Who jumped to a conclusion?
22
Common Sense 101
If CO2 is 25 higher than at any time before in
history, why isnt temperature anywhere near an
all time high?
23
And the winner is?
Global Climate Monitoring The Accuracy of
Satellite Data March 12, 1997Recently, much
scientific debate has focused on the global
temperature of the Earth's lower atmosphere as
measured by orbiting satellites. And while these
data are exceedingly precise, verified by
multiple satellite observations, and balloon
measurements taken in-situ, they reveal no
discernable warming trend in the Earth's lower
atmosphere over the last 18 years. http//science

24
Cause and Effect?

• Note how temperature falls during periods of high
  CO2
• Note how temperature leads CO2

26
Its an inconvenient truth

Sorry Laurie, my eyes dont lie
Watch Al confuse the facts

Cause and Effect?
29
Cause and Effect?

• 1905 to 1945
• 1945 to 1975
• 1975 to 2005
• CO2 pattern
• CO2 Rate

There is a scientific consensus

Trees breathing produce 10 times more CO2 than
man does

1. Milankovitch Cycles Changes in Earth-Sun
Interaction 2. Sun explains 80 to 85 3. And
the warming since 1988 is easily explained by the
two high solar cycles in 1976-1996.

Duh!!, now why didnt I think of that?
38
Common Sense 101 CO2 increases throughout, and
yet temperature varies significantly.
