US Government 101

People are subject to social pressure. Studies show that they can be swayed to believe in something solely depending on whether that something is called "global warming" or "climate change."

Researchers are human, just like anyone else. They are exposed to the same peer pressure to agree with the mainstream opinion. The ones doing the research are compromised in their views, because their jobs and way of life depend on it. The ideal that scientist are completely pure in their studies and immune to peer pressure is unrealistic.

Scientific Peer Pressure
Example: Prions. Stanley Prusiner was the "godfather" of the discovery of prions. He was ridiculed by his peers, because the infectious agent did not contain any nucleic acid - he was claiming it was a protein, which had no known replication method. He was essentially told he would face opposition if he continued in his research. He lost government funding and was denied tenure, because of it. He doggedly continued his research and a decade later discovered how "prions" replicate and was later awarded a Nobel prize. Stanley Prusiner fought peer pressure and was right.

Evidence?
This is not about "believing." This is about critically analyzing the evidence presented without fear of going against popular opinion. People are trying to justify global warming using, at best, 400,000 years of ice core data that corresponds to less than 0.009% of the earth's history. This is poor science. Even more baffling? Trying to justify climate change through 40 years of global temperature readings - less than 0.0000009% of the earth's history! The only conclusive way to analyze global warming is to look at the billions of years of data contained in the geologic record and compare the CO2 levels to temperature changes in the past. If scientists can use CO2 dating to determine the temperature of a single dinosaur that died 150 million years ago, determining the CO2 levels and temperature of the entire earth should be easy.

Carbon dioxide readings have been done by NASA in their GEOCARB III models and compared against temperature models. This evidence appears to disprove global warming. GEOCARB III shows that CO2 levels were 10x higher in the Jurassic period when life thrived and the largest animals on our planet lived. It also shows that there is no direct correlation between CO2 levels and temperature.
Scientists also fail to mention the 800 year lag between temperature increases and CO2 levels. Ice core data shows that temperature increases first, before CO2 levels rise. This data has to be shifted to even correlate. This fact has even been tried to be explained away by ice bubbles! Ice bubbles! Why is this hidden? This would imply a causal effect - temperature increases raise CO2 levels.

What is the explanation? 
Keep it simple, stupid! The obvious answer is that increased solar activity creates higher temperatures. Higher temperatures increase enzyme and biological activity of animals, which raise CO2 levels. Higher CO2 levels also support the growth of plants that engage in C3 photosynthesis, which are less efficient at carbon fixation. Poorer carbon fixation means higher CO2 levels in the atmosphere.

It is time for America to wake up and stop being governed through fear of a false threat.
