Scientists need to check their math... again!
USAToday recently claimed- on the authority of scientists who are partisans in the global warming debate- that a new study has removed any doubt about the theory that human activity has resulted in catastrophic, greenhouse-effect global warming.
The drift of satellites in their orbits is blamed for the fact that the temperatures they measured for regions in the tropics do not come close to the models predicted by global warming enthusiasts. Increasingly, it is claimed, the satellites were reporting nighttime temperatures as daytime temperatures.
Scientists who buy into global warming are ecstatic. The trouble is that the numbers still don't add up.
The fact is that all hydrocarbon- emitting human activities combined- including the worst the internal combustion engine has been able to do, and all the industrial pollution ever poured into the atmosphere- remains a drop in the bucket compared to the atmospheric hydrocarbons which originate from completely natural sources. And it remains far from proven, in any case, that the data pointed to as evidence of catastrophic global warming reflects anything more than normal fluctuations in atmospheric temperature over time.
