Another top scientist debunks man-made global warming theory
Thursday, April 12, 2007 at 09:28AM It is becoming a monotonous litany with countless scientists lining up to debunk man-made global warming theory. Here's yet another, prize-winning Professor of Mining Geology, Ian Plimer. And guess what? His research reveals solar activity to be the chief cause of the slight warming we have had of late (though it's still a degree cooler today in England than when King William published his Domesday Book, circa 1086).
Here's an excerpt from this article in the bestselling Herald Sun Australian newspaper
“When meteorologists can change the weather then we can start to think about humans changing climate,” Prof Plimer said. “I think we really are a little bit naive to think we can change astronomical and solar processes.”
Speaking tonight after presenting his theory for the first time, to the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy in Sydney, Prof Plimer said he had researched the history of the sun, solar and supernovae activity and had been able to correlate global climates with solar activity.
“But correlations don't mean anything, you really need a causation,” Prof Plimer said. So he then examined how cosmic radiation builds up clouds. A very active sun blows away the cosmic radiation, while a less active sun allows radiation to build up, he said.
“So you can very much tie in temperature, cloud formation, cosmic radiation and the sun,” he said. The next part of Prof Plimer's research was to examine the sources of carbon dioxide. He said he found that about 0.1 per cent of the atmospheric carbon dioxide was due to human activity and much of the rest due to little-understood geological phenomena.
