There is no link between elevated carbon dioxide content and potential climate change. Warming during the 1900s is not a concern, regardless of causes. The climate policy based on the UN climate panel is liable to affect the poor very hard. It writes Lars Bern and 20 professors and associate professors in science subjects.
UN climate panel IPCC, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, formed in 1988 with the directive to compile research on the human impact on climate. IPCC’s purpose is to examine and summarize scientific information relevant to human caused climate change, the impact of climate change and options for adaptation and measures.
The perspective has made concentrated efforts on a global warming caused by human emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide. This restriction means that not enough attention of other climatic factors such as solmagnetismens impact on cloud cover and sea power in March fluctuations. We believe that the absence of evidence that the climate changes observed are not principally due to natural causes.
IPCC scenarios of how you think the climate will be developed based on computer models. A scenario is not a forecast but one that may occur when certain human activities developed as expected. The models are designed so as to moderately elevated levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere gives rise to a significant warming. With the scenarios that has, since issued, and issue alerts.
Leading alarm lard has gone beyond the IPCC and has successfully managed to bring out the image that their claims are based on scientific consensus. But science is not determined by vote. Alarmismen has created a situation in which the scientific call is being replaced by hair-splitting
Claim of scientific consensus regarding the role of anthropogenic carbon dioxide on climate, is not only irrelevant but also untrue. This is illustrated by the IPCC-critical Manhattan Declaration signed by more than 600 qualified graduates, of which 200 are directly involved in climate research. The development is a serious threat to the entire scientific community’s credibility.
Based on the above scenarios, the IPCC says that everything suggests that warming of the Earth’s atmosphere will cause climate change that could lead to a large-scale disaster. Fast radical countermeasures according to the IPCC, however, would be able to restrain the alleged harmful effects.
Our view is:
- That it could not show a significant causal link between elevated carbon dioxide content and potential climate change.
- That the observed warming during the 1900s does not give cause for concern, whatever the causes.
- That the climate scares based on low forecast value.
- The Manhattan Declaration refutes claim of consensus.
- That a climate policy based on the IPCC scenarios is likely to lead to a devastating waste of human and financial resources that primarily affects the poor in the world.
Before society makes far-reaching decisions on climate policy, we should ensure to use on a sounder scientific basis than we have today. The Government should therefore initiate a hearing with a broad spectrum of representatives of the scientific community with different views on the climate issue.
