Physicist Dr.Syun-Ichi Akasofu has published a peer-reviewed paper in Natural Science that rebuts the UN IPCC claims of exceptional warming by 2100. This paper predicts the temperature increase in 2100 to be 0.5°C ± 0.2°C, rather than 4°C ±2.0°C predicted by the IPCC.
ABSTRACT
A number of published papers and openly available data on sea level changes, glacier retreat, freezing/break-up dates of rivers, sea ice retreat, tree-ring observations, ice cores and changes of the cosmic-ray intensity, from the year 1000 to the present, are studied to examine how the Earth has recovered from the Little Ice Age (LIA). We learn that the recovery from the LIA has proceeded continuously, roughly in a linear manner, from 1800-1850 to the present. The rate of the recovery in terms of temperature is about 0.5°C/100 years and thus it has important implications for understanding the present global warming. It is suggested on the basis of a much longer period covering that the Earth is still in the process of recovery from the LIA; there is no sign to indicate the end of the recovery before 1900. Cosmic-ray intensity data show that solar activity was related to both the LIA and its recovery. The multi-decadal oscillation of a period of 50 to 60 years was superposed on the linear change; it peaked in 1940 and 2000, causing the halting of warming temporarily after 2000. These changes are natural changes, and in order to determine the contribution of the manmade greenhouse effect, there is an urgent need to identify them correctly and accurately and remove them.

If the UN IPCC is wrong, so is CARB, as they used the IPCC reports as justification for the reduction of global warming gases in California. If CARB's Cap and Trade swindle is allowed to continue we will end up paying billions in carbon taxes every year to correct a naturally occurring climate cycle. Cap and Trades has to be the best swindle every. I wonder if they give Noble Prizes for swindles? Oh, wait they did Al Gore and the IPCC got one. Can we nomiate CARB for the climate swindle of the year for the next award cycle?
