GLOBAL WARMING CONTRIBUTOR

I recently received an email from a reader wanting me to post a piece about global warming that he put together. After some research the guy seemed legit and his facts all checked out. The below post is written by Don Hagen(dsthagen@verizon.net) a retired computer programmer living in California. I can't vouch for the grammar but the content seems pretty solid.

Two World Renown Scientists just have independently proven the REAL cause of Global Warming is the SUN--not CO2!!!

I have two pieces of scientific evidence the Sun is the cause of the recent bout of Global Warming we have been experiencing---not CO2 created by fossil burning fuels!

The first piece of evidence is you need to see the British Documentary--featuring a noted M.I.T Climatologist how was scientist who attended the U.N. Kyoto Protocols--, “The Great Global Warming Swindle," which proves scientifically that the current round of Global Warming we are experiencing is primarily due to increased Sun Spot Activity—and not an increase in CO2 emissions caused by burning fossil fuels like oil, gasoline and naturally gas!!! The documentary also shows scenes from Al Gore’s, documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth,” and points out the flawed logic in his interpretation of the climate data.

The web address to see the documentary keeps getting deleted, but do not panic. I think I have deduced why the web link to see the documentary keeps getting deleted. Soon, it will be available as a DVD, and you can buy a copy for a $20.00. So, I think that’s why the producers removed the web link. However, I found a French Web Link that still works!!! Fortunately--the Audio is still in English---and it has French Subtitles!!! I will also provide the contact info web page of the producers of the documentary so you can contact them for how to get your own DVD.

To see the video, click your mouse on the web link below. On my computer sometimes the video player pauses. Just be patient. It will start again shortly. Also, the title of the documentary is displayed 4 times before the end of the documentary, its not over till you see the credits!!!

The second piece of scientific evidence you need read is a web newspaper article titled, “Theory Says Climate Change Depends on Solar Wind/Comic Rays,” by Alexandra Witze, the Science Writer for the Dallas Morning News, that discusses, and includes an entire exert from a scientific article titled, “Influence of Comic Rays on Earth’s Climate.”, by Dr, Henrik Svensmark, who works for the Solar-Terrestrial Physics Division Danish Meteorological Institute, Lyngbyvej 30. DK-2100 Copenhagen, Denmark-that discusses a new theory links climate change to cosmic rays, high-energy particles from space that wash over the planet. If the idea can be proved, it might imply that much of Earth's rising temperature could be caused by extraterrestrial factors, some physicists say. The web link to the newspaper article ( http://www.tmgnow.com/repository/global/CREC.html )

I’ve also included a second web article about Dr. Henrik Svensmark’s work a Discover Magazine (http://discovermagazine.com/2007/jul/the-discover-interview-henrik-svensmark ) interview with Dr. Henrik Svensmark which ask two questions which I copied I below:

In 1996, when you reported that changes in the sun’s activity could explain most or all of the recent rise in Earth’s temperature, the chairman of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel called your announcement “extremely naive and irresponsible.” How did you react?

I was just stunned. I remember being shocked by how many thought what I was doing was terrible. I couldn’t understand it because when you are a physicist, you are trained that when you find something that cannot be explained, something that doesn’t fit, that is what you are excited about. If there is a possibility that you might have an explanation, that is something that everybody thinks is what you should pursue. Here was exactly the opposite reaction. It was as though people were saying to me, “This is something that you should not have done.” That was very strange for me, and it has been more or less like that ever since.

So it’s difficult to do climate research without being suspected of having a hidden agenda?

Yes, it is frustrating. People can use this however they want, and I can’t stop them. Some are accusing me of doing it for political reasons; some are saying I’m doing it for the oil companies. This is just ridiculous. I think there’s a huge interest in discrediting what I’m doing, but I’ve sort of gotten used to this. I’ve convinced myself the only thing I can do is just to continue doing good science. And I think time will show that we are on the right track.

As a final note the scientist who did who did the, , “The Great Global Warming Swindle," documentary was a had the same lie spread about his research—that it could not be trusted, because was he had financial ties to oil companies!!!
