There is no more denying that global warming is real. Melting ice caps, rising ocean levels, growth of deserts and increases in global temperatures are all proof that the planet is getting warmer.
However, the debate over the cause of the warming remains. Many scientists argue that artificial expulsion of carbon dioxide and methane from fossil fuel burning and deforestation are creating an enhanced green-house effect in Earth’s atmosphere, and consequently causing warming.
However, I believe that the recent public outbreak to stop global warming is no more than a publicity stunt put on by giant corporations to popularize “anti-warming” technologies. Industry figureheads such Al Gore are preying on the conscience of innocent civilians by using hysteria to manipulate the masses and drive up profit margins.
It soon becomes clear, Gore, that this is a “Convenient Truth.” One so convenient, that according to the The Telegraph, you are poised to become the first “carbon-billionaire.”
This atrocious idea, that Gore and others are supporting global issues with hidden financial agendas, led me to search for my own answers. After much research, I have come to the conclusion that global warming is caused by Milankovitch climatic oscillations — or MCO — and solar cycles, not human greenhouse gas emissions.
First, let’s analyze what Gore and “green-energy” supporters stand to gain. The New York Times report that Gore’s venture capital firm, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, invested $75 million in Silver Springs Networks, an electric grid hardware and software company in 2008. Later in 2009, the Department of Energy passed $3.4 billion in smart grid grants, $560 million of which went to Silver Springs contracts. Conflict of interest? I think so.
Additionally, Gore’s film, “An Inconvenient Truth,” ranks third in all-time earnings for documentaries, raking in $49 million worldwide. Gore and others, are direct beneficiaries of the greatest hoax the world has ever seen.
So if humans aren’t the problem, then what’s cooking our planet?
Matt Dynesius and Roland Jansson, researchers for the National Academy of Science, published a paper titled “Evolutionary consequences of changes in species’ geographical distributions driven by Milankovitch climatic oscillations” in 2000. It states that MCOs are variations that occur every 10,000-100,000 years. Dynesius and Jansson divide MCOs more specifically into the change in the obliquity of the earth’s axis, eccentricity of the earth’s orbit and annual timing of the Earth-sun minimum distance, which consequently affect earth’s climate.
The obliquity of the Earth’s axis refers to the direction the earth’s magnetic poles are oriented. The Earth’s axis can be changed gradually overtime or in massive expositions of nature such as the 2011 Japan earthquake that shifted the Earth’s axis by 10 cm. The eccentricity of the Earth’s orbit refers to the irregularity of the shape of the Earth’s orbit. According to Dynesius and Jansson, the obliquity of the Earth changes within a 41,000-year period, the eccentricity of the Earth varies within a 100,000-year period, and the Earth-Sun distance fluctuates within a 21,000-year period.
They go on to explain that “orbital oscillations cause variation in insulation that, combined with earthbound feedbacks, produce large and rapid changes in temperature and precipitation… The 41,000 and 100,000 oscillations cause larger temperature changes toward the poles.” According to National Geographic, current temperature increases have been recorded closest towards the poles of the earth. Therefore, according to their findings, the current increase in global temperature coincide with MCO theory.
The primary objective of Dynesius and Jansson’s paper is to present a concept called “orbitally forced species dynamics.” This term explains how the obliquity of the Earth and the eccentricity of the Earth’s orbit affect both the evolution of life on Earth and the survivability of such life. This concept should solve discrepancies in the different geological eras humans have discovered through archeological research.
For instance, according to archeological fossil records, “The mean duration of a species in the fossil record varies among taxa from about one to 30 million years, implying that they possess properties that allow them to survive many Milankovitch oscillations.” According to the United States Geological survey, the Earth is approximately 4.54 billion years old. When these two figures are combined, they show that even the most supreme evolutionary beings to ever live on Earth only lived for approximately .02-.66 percent of Earth’s total existence.
Based on calculations of species duration (maximum of 30 million years) and MCO frequency (minimum of every 10,000 years and a maximum of every 100,000 years), the most evolutionary sophisticated species to walk the Earth experienced 300-3000 MCO fluctuations before abdicating extinction. According to an article published by Universe Today, humans have been on Earth for about 200,000 years, but recorded history only dates back 6,000 years. By this same calculation, humans have experienced between two and four MCOs.
According to Science Daily, the most modern account of dramatic climatic fluctuation was the last ice age, which occurred approximately 13,000 years ago. This makes sense, because according to Dynesius and Jansson, MCO fluctuations occur at a minimum of 10,000 years, which strongly suggests that we are entering another phase of heavy MCO fluctuation. By this account, relatively rapid changes in global temperature and climatic conditions can be attributed not to human causes, but to natural MCO cycles that have been archeologically proven to exist.
The Earth has its natural cycles, but so does the sun. According to National Geographic, “Simultaneous warming on Earth and Mars suggests that our planet’s recent climatic changes have a natural — and not a human-induced — cause.” Data from NASA’s Mars Global Surveyor and Odyssey Missions in 2005, demonstrated that Mars’s southern carbon dioxide ice caps had been melting for three consecutive summers. The warming cannot be explained by the greenhouse effect, simply because Mars has no atmosphere.
Habibullo Abdussamatov, head of space research at St. Petersburg’s Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory in Russia, believes simultaneous warming of Mars and Earth is evidence that our current climate change is caused by the sun. Abdussamatov goes on to state, “The solar irradiance began to drop in the 1990s, and a minimum will be reached by approximately 2040…It will cause a steep cooling of the climate on Earth in 15 to 20 years.”
The current symptoms of global warming we are experiencing today are only the lingering effects of a century of high solar irradiance. With solar activity in decline, a cooling phase will set in and give Abdussamatov’s claims empirical support.
According to E.N Parker, author for the scientific journal Nature, the magnetic field of the sun has doubled in the past century and the number of sunspots has doubled over the same period of time. By this accord, the rising global temperatures during the last century are due to this solar variance. The fact that carbon dioxide levels are correlated with rising temperatures must therefore be coincidence.
Fossil-fuel emissions and deforestation are prevalent issues because of their ecological impacts with respect to heavy pollution and habitat destruction. However, their correlation with global warming is simply a skewed misrepresentation of scientific evidence. Natural theories of climatic variance such as Milankovich climate oscillations and solar cycles provide explanations for recent warming trends.
Before we condemn ourselves as the most ecologically-destructive species in our planet’s history, let’s educate ourselves on the natural explanations for our planet’s warming, and hence avoid falling into the economical snare set by anti-warming industry leaders.
