Myth of Global Warming Hoax Consensus Explodes
From the Daily Tech, a science magazine, btw.
The American Physical Society, an organization representing nearly 50,000 physicists, has reversed its stance on climate change and is now proclaiming that many of its members disbelieve in human-induced global warming. The APS is also sponsoring public debate on the validity of global warming science. The leadership of the society had previously called the evidence for global warming “incontrovertible.”
As the hoax begins to crumble, what will the anti-capitalists turn to next?
One unit is calling BS, only. Not the whole APS. Although the forum itself is nothing to sneeze at.
Wow, some members of the American Physics Society are Science deniers?

APS Climate Change Statement
APS Position Remains Unchanged
The American Physical Society reaffirms the following position on climate change, adopted by its governing body, the APS Council, on November 18, 2007:
“Emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities are changing the atmosphere in ways that affect the Earth’s climate.”
An article at odds with this statement recently appeared in an online newsletter of the APS Forum on Physics and Society, one of 39 units of APS. The header of this newsletter carries the statement that “Opinions expressed are those of the authors alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of the APS or of the Forum.” This newsletter is not a journal of the APS and it is not peer reviewed.
Whether it is one unit or two, or three who cares, people are starting to realize Global Warming is more of a religious movement than science. When Galileo proposed that most of the scholars were wrong about the Sun revolving around the Earth, he was almost killed and silenced. This myth was then perpetuated by the church who’s role was not unlike the media’s role today -scare and inform, but insure the emphasis is on scare and not inform.
Try arguing against global warming with an environmentalist and they start foaming at the mouth. A true scientist would say ‘OK, let me try and disprove your point’. Global temperatures are at a 10 year low, ice has returned to the Arctic and is growing in the Antartic and during the Earth’s warming trend of the last 100 years, other planets also experienced warming, but unless there are SUV driving aliens on Mars or Jupiter, I would say it has something to do with the sun. Oh, and the fact that manmade CO2 is 3% of total CO2 contribution to the atmosphere and CO2 is responsible for 10% of the greenhouse effect at best = manmade contribution to greenhouse gasses are about .3%
Calling all you environmentalists, let the name calling and angry insults begin.
contents of my booklet “GLOBAL WARMING IS A MYTH
1.the cooling earth-the earth is continuosly radiating heat into outer space as it is hotter than outer space.
2.is carbon dioxide the villain ?-the percentage of co2 is only 0.035-i have explained why this cannot go up.wild fires can produce more co2 than industry.
3.role of gravity and hydrology-gravity causes pressure which produces heat .as we go deeper the temperature rises.have you not gone into the grand canyon? this geo-thermal energy is transferred from the inside by water molecules travelling from the ocean bottom to the interior,collect heat,become vapour which under high pressure ,travels up as hot springs, under-water volcanoes etc.
the ice caps and the ice sheets in polar regions prevent heat from escaping into outer space.
4.when we look back- quotation from PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY BY Rev.THOMAS MILNER -showing historical background .extremely hot summers when people working in fields died and rivers and spring dried up in europe were quite frequent.
after writing the book i have collected temperature data comparing old times and current period which clearly prove that global warming is a myth.contact me for the elecronnic edition of the booklet and temp.data

ANALYSIS OF TEMPERATURE DATA
Figures speak the truth. The temperature data comparing previous periods with the current period in respect of Indian and foreign cities are available in the statements enclosed. Statement-1 shows temperature of Indian cities (both coastal and inland).
These have been collected from the metrological department library at Mausam Bhawan.
You will see that in the cities mentioned below, the temperature has remained stable during the last 50 years.
Bhuj, Bhawnagar, Surat, Punjim, Honavar, Alapuzha, Kakinada, Port Blair, Vishakhapatnam, Kolkata (temperature has actually decreased by 3 degrees), Bhubneswar (decreased by 3 degrees), Ajmer, Pune, Bangalore, Agartala, Alhabad, Kota, Madurai, Koimbature, Kolhapur, Udaipur, Nagpur.
The increase in temperature by 5 degrees in Mumbai is glaring, especially when we see the temperature in Surat remaining stable. In other words, for Mumbai the reasons my be local and not global. This requires investigation. My guess is that the huge increase in concrete buildings in Mumbai has contributed to the increase in temperature.
So far, I have been speaking about the maximum temperature. A scrutiny of the minimum temperatures reveals a certain trend of distinct increase.
Bhuj, Bhavnagar, Mumbai, Ajmer, Pune, Hyderabad, Udaipur and Kanpur show increase in minimum temperature by 3 degree. If you total the minimum temperatures of all the cities, then and now, there is an increase of 20degrees in respect of 15 inland stations whereas the maximum temperature in respect of the same stations show a decrease of 8 degrees. It should be remembered that the minimum temperature are recorded during winter months (December, January) when the sun is far away in the Southern hemisphere and this cannot be assigned to the heat radiated from the sun. Mr. Milner has also written about the winter becoming milder over a period of time. In my younger days, I use to find it difficult to take bath in cold water in winter in Delhi. Now, excepting some days of severe cold mostly caused by heavy snowfall in the Himalayas, the water is not so cold. The obvious inference is that this is actually global refreezing caused by geothermal energy.
Statement 2 shows temperature variation over a wider period of 200 years. The figures for the previous period have been taken from Milner’s book which was published in 1853. As these figures are in Fahrenheit scale, current figures too are shown in the same scale. The figures in respect of the following stations indicate stability.
Cairo, Algiers, Cincinnati, New York, Beijing (decrease of 3 degree), Paris Dublin, Copenhagen (decrease of 6 degree), Quebec, Petersburg, Bordeaux, Vienna (decrease of 4 degrees) – 12 out of 20 cities. London, Geneva and Paris show exceptional increase. However, it should be remembered that the increase is over a period of 200 years.
A word of caution: the current data have been extracted from the website “World Weather Information Service” and so the authenticity has to be verified independently.
A very reliable and scientific for evaluation of the temperature of the globe is latitude wise mean temperatures. Milner’s book shows 29 degree centigrade at equator gradually and linearly decreasing to zero degree centigrade at the poles. I am unable to get corresponding figures for the current period. However, I could see from the website that figures remain almost constant even though the figures for the polar region are now shows as approaching minus 20 degree centigrade. This may be due to better technology being employed by scientific team exploring the polar regions. I have calculated the value of current mean temperatures in respect of a few stations, comparing this value with that shown in Milner’s book. These are given in statement 3.
MELTING OF POLAR ICECAP
The density of water at zero degrees centigrade is 0.9999 grams per cm. The density of ice at zero degree centigrade is 0.9150. In other words, 1 cc of ice weights only 0.91 gm and hence will displace only 0.915cc of water, when the ice is floating in water. When the ice float, almost the whole of body sinks below the surface of water, expect a small portion projecting above the surface. In the North Pole area, there is no land. The crust of the earth forms a huge bowl filled with seawater and a huge mass of ice floating in it just like an ice cube placed in a blow of water. The volume of ice submerged below the ice may be almost 9 times more than the icecap which we observe above the surface of water. The molecule covering the underwater portion of the icecap absorb heat from the sea water in which it floats and melt into water. This is a continuous process happening round the clock, allover the year, irrespective of summer or winter. As I have explained in my booklet, the necessary energy is supplied by the earth itself. The role of the Sun which shines only for a limited period is too insignificant to have any impact on this process. As the density of water is more than that of ice, the volume of water generated by the melting of ice is less than that of water originally occupied by the ice block in the ratio 9999:9150. Therefore the sea level will actually will come down because of the melting process. In practice, this may not happen because of the continues deposition of show in the polor region which will continuously push down the ice cap.
A lot has been talked about the rising of sea level because of Global warning. This is a misconception. In some places, the sea level goes up and in other places, it recedes. This phenomenon has been extensively discussed in Milner’s geography.
My contention can be tested by a simple experiment. Place ice cubes in a tumbler and fill it with water until the water overflows. Leave it until all the ice melts. What for any overflow of water during this process.

Excessive summers
In 763 the summer was so hot that the springs dried up.
In 870 the heat was so intense ,that near Worms the reapers dropped dead in the fields.
In 993 and again in 994,it was so hot that the corn and fruits were burnt up.
The year 1000 was so hot and dry ,that, in Germany ,the pools of water disappeared ,and
the fish ,being left in the mud ,bred pestilence.
In 1022 the heat was so excessive ,that both men and cattle were struck dead.
In 1130 the earth yawned with drought. Springs and rivers disappeared ,and even the
Rhine was dried up in Alsace.
In 1159 not a drop of rain fell in Italy after the month of May.
The year 1171 was extremely hot in Germany.
In 1232 the heat was so great ,especially in Germany, that it is said that eggs were roasted in the sands.
In 1260 ,many of the Hungarian soldiers died of excessive heat at the famous battle fought near Buda.
The consecutive years of 1276 and 1277 were so hot and dry as to occasion a great scarcity of fodder.
The years 1293 and 1294 were extremely hot ;and so were likewise 1303 and 1304,
both the Rhine and the Danube having dried up
In 1333 the corn fields and vineyards were burnt up.
The years 1393 and 1394 were excessively hot and dry.
In 1447 the summer was extremely hot.
In the successive years 1473 and 1474 the whole earth seemed on fire.In Hungary ,

The four consecutive years 1538, 1539 ,1540 ,and 1541 were excessively hot ;and
the rivers dried up.
In1556 the drought was so great that the springs failed. In England wheat rose from
8 shillings to 53 shillings a quarter.
The years 1615 and 1616 were very dry all over Europe.
In 1646 it was excessively hot.
In1652 the warmth was very great, the summer being the driest ever known in Scotland. A total eclipse had happened that year, on Monday the 24th of March,which hence received the appellation of ‘Mirk Monday.’
The summer of 1679 was extremely hot.It is related ,that one of the minions tyranny ,who
in that calamitous period ,harassed the poor Presbyterians in Scotland with captious questions, having asked a shepherd in Fife ,whether the killing of a notorious Sharp,
Archbishop of St.Andrews,which had happened in May,was murder; he replied , that he could not tell ,but there had been fine weather ever since.
The year 1700 was excessively warm, and the two following years were of the same description.
In 1718 the weather was extremely hot and dry all over Europe.The air felt so oppressive
That all the theatres were shut in Paris.Scarcely any rain fell for the space of nine months
and the springs and rivers were dried up. The following year was equally hot. The thermometer at Paris rose to 98 degree Fahrenheit.The grass and corn were quite parched.
In some places the fruit trees blossomed two and three times.
Both the years 1723 and 1724 were dry and hot.
The year 1745 was remarkably warm and dry; but the following year was still hotter insomuch that the grass withered, and the leaves dropped from the trees .Neither rain nor dew fell for several months ; and ,on the continent, prayers were offered up in all the churches to implore the bounty of refreshing showers.
In 1748 the summer was again very warm.
In 1754 it was likewise extremely warm.
The years 1760 and 1761 were both of them remarkably hot, and so was the year 1763.
