Interesting. I wonder how the "Science says that man's carbon emissions are causing Global Warming, and you MUST believe science" crowd will react?

Global warming debunked: NASA report verifies carbon dioxide actually cools atmosphere

Global warming debunked: NASA report verifies carbon dioxide actually cools atmosphere

Wednesday, May 22, 2013 by: Ethan A. Huff, staff writer

(NaturalNews) Practically everything you have been told by the mainstream scientific community and the media about the alleged detriments of greenhouse gases, and particularly carbon dioxide, appears to be false, according to new data compiled by NASA's Langley Research Center. As it turns out, all those atmospheric greenhouse gases that Al Gore and all the other global warming hoaxers have long claimed are overheating and destroying our planet are actually cooling it, based on the latest evidence.

As reported by Principia Scientific International (PSI), Martin Mlynczak and his colleagues over at NASA tracked infrared emissions from the earth's upper atmosphere during and following a recent solar storm that took place between March 8-10. What they found was that the vast majority of energy released from the sun during this immense coronal mass ejection (CME) was reflected back up into space rather than deposited into earth's lower atmosphere.

The result was an overall cooling effect that completely contradicts claims made by NASA's own climatology division that greenhouse gases are a cause of global warming. As illustrated by data collected using Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry (SABER), both carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitric oxide (NO), which are abundant in the earth's upper atmosphere, greenhouse gases reflect heating energy rather than absorb it.

"Carbon dioxide and nitric oxide are natural thermostats," says James Russell from Hampton University, who was one of the lead investigators for the groundbreaking SABER study. "When the upper atmosphere (or 'thermosphere') heats up, these molecules try as hard as they can to shed that heat back into space."

Almost all 'heating' radiation generated by sun is blocked from entering lower atmosphere by CO2
According to the data, up to 95 percent of solar radiation is literally bounced back into space by both CO2 and NO in the upper atmosphere. Without these necessary elements, in other words, the earth would be capable of absorbing potentially devastating amounts of solar energy that would truly melt the polar ice caps and destroy the planet.

"The shock revelation starkly contradicts the core proposition of the so-called greenhouse gas theory which claims that more CO2 means more warming for our planet," write H. Schreuder and J. O'Sullivan for PSI. "[T]his compelling new NASA data disproves that notion and is a huge embarrassment for NASA's chief climatologist, Dr. James Hansen and his team over at NASA's GISS."

Dr. Hansen, of course, is an outspoken global warming activist who helped spark man-made climate change hysteria in the U.S. back in 1988. Just after the release of the new SABER study, however, Dr. Hansen conveniently retired from his career as a climatologist at NASA, and reportedly now plans to spend his time "on science," and on "drawing attention to [its] implications for young people."

They've already started to switch over to the "Climate Change" argument instead of the "Global Warming" argument. The handwriting has been on the wall for years.

I didn't know global warming was 100% a matter of IR.

I am a bit confused about this article. I thought that the 'greenhouse' effect (which I learned about back in the 1960s) concerned the release of excessive CO2 on Earth, which is trapped within the Earth's atmosphere, hence causing the heating.

Yet this article is about how the Earth's atmosphere helps reflect back solar radiation, which is not the same as trapped CO2.

I guess I agree that if not for our atmosphere the solar flares would 'fry' us, so, in a sense, having said atmosphere does keep us 'cooler', but I don't see where this helps the trapped CO2.

In Hot, Flat and Crowded, Thomas Freidman refers to this as "global wierding." I think it's indisputable that the weather is more odd than it normally is, but maybe in the long scheme of things, the earth (as in the George Carlin skit), will survive. Human beings, on the other hand, may not...but is that good or bad. For a non-religious person, only science is significant, along with the sufferings of all life...well, that surely is too much to be concerned about, considering we're still murdering animals by the millions every year, under horrific conditions. Maybe human life is a passing phase, and something that didn't work out.

How "saving the planet" is just a function of human arrogance:

I love how stupid the wing nuts are. Their anti-science idiocy marginalizes them far better than anyone else could. Please keep it up, wing nuts.

If anyone is interested in actual science instead of spurious nonsense from illiterate people then please watch this BBC Science video which explains how CO2 absorbs heat and causes a greenhouse effect.


Positive proof that heat is absorbed by co2. - YouTube

I highly doubt that climate change is all just made up. Science can be and often is wrong but like a sail boat tacking into the wind makes slow progress ahead. I highly doubt that 90% of the science community is in some conspiracy to do what? Fake data? They would know they would be found out and I can not believe that they would risk their credibility than I do that some guy built a big boat and put all the animals of the world on it when the earth was flooded because god wanted to do the laundry.
