Japanese Scientists Say ManMade Global Warming is a Myth

One Japanese scientist even went as far to say that anyone who believed in computer models of the climate may as well believe in Astrology. Humorously enough, most leftists who believe in this global warming garbage also go around asking each other what their sign is, so now I understand the correlation between the two.

From the Reg here:

Japanese scientists have made a dramatic break with the UN and Western-backed hypothesis of climate change.  Three of the five researchers disagree with the UN’s IPCC view that recent warming is primarily the consequence of man-made industrial emissions of greenhouse gases.

One of the five contributors compares computer climate modelling to ancient astrology. Others castigate the paucity of the US ground temperature data set used to support the hypothesis, and declare that the unambiguous warming trend from the mid-part of the 20th Century has ceased.

Three of the five leading scientists contend that recent climate change is driven by natural cycles, not human industrial activity, as political activists argue.

Kanya Kusano is Program Director and Group Leader for the Earth Simulator at the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science & Technology (JAMSTEC). “[The IPCC’s] conclusion that from now on atmospheric temperatures are likely to show a continuous, monotonous increase, should be perceived as an unprovable hypothesis,” he writes.

Shunichi Akasofu, head of the International Arctic Research Center in Alaska, has expressed criticism of the theory before. Akasofu uses historical data to challenge the claim that very recent temperatures represent an anomaly:

“We should be cautious, IPCC’s theory that atmospheric temperature has risen since 2000 in correspondence with CO2 is nothing but a hypothesis. Before anyone noticed, this hypothesis has been substituted for truth… The opinion that great disaster will really happen must be broken.”

The belief that mankind is destroying the earth is, as I have said before, a basic tenet of a new religious movement among liberals and atheists.  It is not founded in science, but faith, and any and all decisions made on the basis of that faith is therefore a bad decision.  And when government does it, it is tantamount to an endorsement of a religion by the government, violating the principals of seperation of church and state.
