Hume Highlights Fresh Studies Showing Global Warming 'Scare Vastly Overblown'

Photo of Brent Baker.

Citing recent peer-reviewed studies, Brit Hume informed viewers of his Fox News Channel program on Tuesday night that though “many media outlets...portray man-made global warming as a certified fact and those who deny it as conspirators,” several “skeptics are increasingly certain that the scare is vastly overblown.” In his “Grapevine” segment, Hume pointed to a study by a Brookhaven National Lab scientist who “contends that the Earth's climate is only about one-third as sensitive to carbon dioxide as the UN's recent climate study claims,” a Belgian Weather Institute report “that carbon dioxide does not have a decisive role in global warming,” a “study by two Chinese scientists” that discovered “CO2's role in warming is 'vastly exaggerated'” and “new research by University of Washington mathematicians” that “shows a correlation between high solar activity and periods of global warming.”

Story Continues Below Ad ↓

Hume was apparently relaying highlights from an August 20 posting, “New Peer-Reviewed Scientific Studies Chill Global Warming Fears,” by Marc Morano of the minority staff of the Senate's Committee on Environment and Public Works. Morano's rundown summarized more than a dozen studies and reports.

Hume's lead “Grapevine” item on the August 21 Special Report with Brit Hume on FNC:

Many media outlets -- such as the recent Newsweek magazine cover story -- portray man-made global warming as a certified fact and those who deny it as conspirators. But skeptics are increasingly certain that the scare is vastly overblown. A new study by Brookhaven National Lab scientist Stephen Schwartz contends that the Earth's climate is only about one-third as sensitive to carbon dioxide as the UN's recent climate study claims. Schwarz's work will be published in The Journal of Geophysical Research.

The study is just one of several peer-reviewed scientific studies challenging global warming alarmism: The Belgian Weather Institute concludes that carbon dioxide does not have a decisive role in global warming and a study by two Chinese scientists says CO2's role in warming is 'vastly exaggerated.' Plus, new research by University of Washington mathematicians shows a correlation between high solar activity and periods of global warming.

About time

Thank goodness someone on cable news is telling this story. The AGW alarmists love the phrase "peer reviewed" and it is so nice to see it thrown back into their faces. I cannot believe the arrogance of some who think that man can change a climate system, that is over 4 billion years old, in as little as 100 years. The more these stories are published (always here first), the sooner we can put this AGW nonsense behind us and look at the true proble; how do we prepare for a shift in our climate, whether warmer or cooler? It is coming, maybe not for another 1000 years, but it could always come in our lifetimes. Wonderful thing about the Earth and her climate, you never know what will happen next, even with a computer model at your disposal.

According to the libs since

According to the libs since this is on Fox News it doesn't count.  Another excuse will be the usual BIG OIL!!!!!!! funded these studies so they don't count.  The last excuse will be that the scientist have never won an Academy Award and therefore are not qualified to study in the field of Climatology.

A Global Warming drama starring: Liberal Guy

Righteous defender of earth, Liberal Guy composes his attack on Global Warming deniers from his not quite private home office: 

Sound of fingers on the keyboard... 

"Global Warming is the result of selfish capitalist GW deniers who are raping mother earth and endangering our children's future health and safety...".  

Thinking smugly to self, "This is great stuff - I'm on a roll."

More typing...

Interruption from wife, "Honey, when you get to a stopping point on the computer will you drop me off at the Volvo dealer, I think they're done installing that safety thingy on Sara's car seat."

Thinking, "Damn it, she made me lose focus on my brilliant thoughts about the superiority of life as tribal vegan gatherers (sounds much better than 'hunter gatherers')." 

Wife again, "On your way back, you could stop at Costco and pick up some dishwasher soap and some Huggies for little Lizzy."

Thinking, "I'll bet vegan gatherers wouldn't have to buy dishwasher soap and Huggies. The modern age is just too complicated." Sigh.... .

More typing...

Wife, "And honey, will you book those Jet Blue tickets sometime tonight. That special to St. Thomas is ending tomorrow.  Juanita said she can stay over and watch the girls as long as you show her how to get the Spanish programs on the dish network."

More typing...

Thinking, "I wonder if Juanita is attracted to me... damn, now I forgot where I was in my rant about the evils of the auto industry and big oil, and the excesses of the Anglo-Saxon exploitation."

More thinking, "Hey wait a minute, isn't Juanita is coming over to start dinner a couple hours before Joan gets off work... hmmmm."

Tune in next week to find out if "Liberal Guy" will save us from the evil Global Warming deniers, and convince Jaunita to join him in his new world order of tribal vegan gatherers.

 

 

 

Too Long

Geez, I hate waiting for the next eposode.  

I'm wondering...

...does Liberal Guy really love his family?

...does Liberal Guy secretly love Tacos?

Man, a whole week!!!

Since government is coercion, politics is largely the exercise of deception regarding the intended use of coercion - George Orwell

Good show, Parker!

Your comment, Parker, is actually very funny. You have an obvious
talent for creating a sharp visual! Waiting to hear about "Conservative
Guy", the fair and balanced response to Liberal Guy.

The Anti "Man-Made" Global Warming Resource

WOW!

That is one heck of a list.

 I get this really odd feeling that if you presented all of those peer reviewed studies to an alarmist, that somehow peer reviewed would become much less important.

Maybe the IPCC is the only credible source not "firmly in the pockets" of Exxon and their big CO2 buddies.

OMG

Wow!  Thanks for that list.  And that last link.

Great Resource!

Thanks for your legwork on this!

60 minutes this last Sunday

60 minutes this last Sunday was a repeat of an April show, which included that ridiculous segment by Scott Pelly where he travels to antarctica and watches ice calving. He reacts as if he is seeing the 2nd coming.  Sickening.  And they just continue to rant about it all, no matter how many 'peer reviewed' studies there are (BTW, PopularTech, thanks for the links) that question the so-called science and in many cases, flat out refute the current mantra of AGW.  I love Brit Hume's reporting, and I know that Fox ratings are higher than the other networks, but there is still a massive misconception out there about AGW/Climate Change, blah, blah, blah, and I'm afraid the momentum that has built up over this is going to be very difficult to re-direct.  It has never been anything more than a way to gain power and take, take, take money from hard working people all over the world, but especially here in the US, because, of course, we're sooooo evil.  Ok, done ranting.  Have a good day, everybody.

more

Here are some more peer-reviewed articles in referreed scientific journals that I have posted here before (and have added some to it since) that I also sent to PopTech to add to his website; therefore, without taking the time to cross reference them all, may double up on what he posted.  Nevertheless, enjoy the list and pass it on to all the AGW disciples.

This isn't the end...

Thanks for both lists! One thing bothers me, though. Only one article mentions magnetic effects, and this is attributed to the sun.

I know someone produced a scientific presentation that documents how the Earth's magnetic field is changing more rapidly now than it has over many (thousands of?) years. It might have aired on a NOVA-type program, but I haven't been able to track it down.

From my understanding of what was presented, what has been observed and called "global warming" might be the result of this shift of the planetary magnetic field. However, I don't think the program said that solar forces were the cause of the Earth's magnetic field shift.

I'd be interested in getting more links or references to any research in this direction.

One more area to be researched that doesn't fit any "concensus"...

 

John, I have heard some

John,

I have heard some 'rumblings' about this before but am not familiar with it; sorry.  If I find it, I will check it out and pass it along.

SnT

Cool!

Can I add these to my Global Warming Dissent List?

You bet!

Please!  Feel free to add them to the dissent list---or moreover we should call it the list of truths.  I saved your list to my favorites some time ago---very nice reference.  You, PopTech, roconnell, dscott, danbo---all are wealths of knowledge on this subject.  With degrees in geology (BS & MS) I have studied climate as a facet of many other geologic disciplines for years, but will submit to you, that I have learned volumes more just in the past year reading and blogging here!

Cheers, S&T

And of course a big gracious

And of course a big gracious h/t & thanks to Noel as well!!!  How could I forget?!  What a putz I am!

"Maybe the IPCC is the only

"Maybe the IPCC is the only credible source not "firmly in the pockets" of Exxon and their big CO2 buddies."

Funny thing about the IPCC is many of the scientists who contributed to the study don't even agree with the UN's interpretation of the data; even funnier is the UN IPCC report doesn't come close to Algore's doomsday scenario, lol, giving us yet ANOTHER reason why environmentalists are viewed as moonbats.

You know, if you lie to the people by telling them Florida and New York will be under water, when all the data says little or no change in the rate of the rise of sea level is expected, you might be a moonbat.

When even the bible of the global warming religion, the IPCC report, doesn't back up the conclusions of many in the global warming crowd, including the high priest himself, you might be a moonbat.

When your own charts and graphs pretty much disprove what you're saying in your little powerpoint show, you might be a moonbat.

If you, as a watcher of that show, still buy into its nonsensical claims today, you might be a moonbat.

You might be a moonbat if....

You might be a moonbat

You might be a moonbat if..  in the name of saving the Globe you only use one square per poo. 

Thank you Brit and

Thank you Brit and Parker!

I'm pleased to see that

I'm pleased to see that someone in media had the integrity to show a side of the discussion that the MSM routinely tries to ignore, discredit, or stir emotions against.

Thanks, Mr. Hume, for helping preserve some sanity and scientific credibility in the whirlwind of MSM emotionalism and bullying.

Issue of Global Warming

Over the 10-year period as a whole, climate continues to warm and 2014 is likely to be 0.3 deg C warmer than 2004. The overall trend in warming is driven by greenhouse gas emissions but this warming effect will be broadly cancelled out over the next few years by the changing patterns of the ocean temperatures.
