NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth's atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space than alarmist computer models have predicted, reports a new study in the peer-reviewed science journal Remote Sensing.
Scientists on all sides of the global warming debate are in general agreement about how much heat is being directly trapped by human emissions of carbon dioxide (the answer is "not much"). However, the single most important issue in the global warming debate is whether carbon dioxide emissions will indirectly trap far more heat by causing large increases in atmospheric humidity and cirrus clouds. Alarmist computer models assume human carbon dioxide emissions indirectly cause substantial increases in atmospheric humidity and cirrus clouds (each of which are very effective at trapping heat), but real-world data have long shown that carbon dioxide emissions are not causing as much atmospheric humidity and cirrus clouds as the alarmist computer models have predicted.
The new NASA Terra satellite data are consistent with long-term NOAA and NASA data indicating atmospheric humidity and cirrus clouds are not increasing in the manner predicted by alarmist computer models.

Love this comment by Michelle Malkin.....In all fairness, I wouldn’t expect computer models to be spot-on simulations of the real climate system, but in honest research I would expect computer models to, at least once in a while, not always coincidentally err on the side of the equation that just happens to serve as “evidence” that the UN should be further funded to police the impending catastrophe.
Computer models of possible hurricane trajectories usually contain an array of possibilities based on a number of variables, but if the UN’s climates models were used, Hurricane Global Warming would always be poised for a direct hit on wherever the most wealth can be transferred.
The key words in this comment are '' usually contain an array of possibilities based on a number of variables''. Which Man Made Global Warming Alarmist ignore! Their array of possibilities are based on a the two variable..... one.....Global Warming is Man Made and two...."Climate Science" has become the new gold mine for research funding. Any funding grant application today had better have the words "Global Warming" in it somewhere if you want to rise to the top of the pile when the money is handed out.

New NASA satellite data contradict UN's Global Warming predictionsThe study, which appears in the peer-reviewed science journal Remote Sensing, indicates that there will be far less global warming than the United Nations has predicted with their computer models.
These observations support prior studies that were criticized by the UN, which indicated that increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide traps much less heat than UN is claiming
Another finding in the NASA satellite data study is that the atmosphere actually begins shedding heat into space way before the UN's computer models predicted.
But, the real-world data has also shown that carbon dioxide emissions are not contributing to much atmospheric humidity and cirrus clouds as UN's computer models have suggested.

Lindzen on negative climate feedback.....The Bottom Line (from the article)
The earth’s climate (in contrast to the climate in current climate GCMs) is dominated by a strong net negative feedback. Climate sensitivity is on the order of 0.3°C, and such warming as may arise from increasing greenhouse gases will be
indistinguishable from the fluctuations in climate that occur naturally from processes internal to the climate system itself.

On Dec. 13, 2007, something unusual happened, 100 scientists jointly signed an Open Letter to Ban Ki-Moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations,
requesting they cease the man-made global warming hysteria and settle down to helping mankind better prepare for natural disasters. The final signature was from the President of the World Federation of Scientists. Abracadabra says give me an AMEN!!!!

Temperature Monitors Report Widescale Global CoolingThe earth warmed up 1900-1940, when hardly anyone was driving cars. And now that CO2 is twice as high, the whole planet is cooling! Somehow I don't think CO2 is the devil-gas you people claim it is.

Editorial: The Great Global Warming Hoax?"Climate Science" has become the new gold mine for research funding. Any funding grant application today had better have the words "Global Warming" in it somewhere if you want to rise to the top of the pile when the money is handed out. Spending on "climate research" has skyrocketed from $175 million to $5 billion annually, and you'd better make sure your "results" support AGW, or the Leprechaun will get away and your pot of gold will vanish. "Peer Review" has generally become a laugh, as the Hoaxters now all review each other's work, and the cash register keeps ringing.
