New Climate Studies Refute ‘Settled Science’

The future rate of warming is most definitely too optimistic.

The climate is not as sensitive as first thought, according to a new study by University College Dublin professor J. Ray Bates. As summarized by Reason’s Ronald Bailey, “The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change widened its range of climate sensitivity estimates to 1.5 to 4.5 degrees Celsius in its latest report, dropping the lower bound from 2 degrees. The new study suggests that climate sensitivity could be much the lower, about 1 degree C for doubling atmospheric carbon dioxide. If this were true, then the climates models are projecting future temperature increases that are 2 to 4 times hotter than the actual likely trend.”

But wait, there’s more! Again from Bailey: “Another study published in Nature by the researchers at European Center for Nuclear Research, or CERN finds that the world was much cloudier in the pre-industrial age than previously thought. The researchers suggest that a cloudier world was a cooler world. Computer climate models assume that man-made atmospheric pollutants like sulfur dioxide have increased modern cloudiness which has further shielded the planet from higher temperatures. If it turns out that early eras were somewhat cloudier than represented in the models that means that future warming has again been overestimated.”

So if you’re wondering why Al Gore’s apocalyptic claims were so wrong, it’s because the evidence used to support those claims was never based on reality to begin with.
