The
pseudo-science of man-made global warming has received another blow — and
we’re not just talking about the brutal cold gripping not only Britain but
all of Europe, North America and China. A newly released study from the
University of Bristol by Wolfgang Knorr proves that the airborne fraction of
man-made carbon dioxide (CO2) has not increased during the
past 160 years.
Mr
Knorr, based at the Department of Earth Sciences at his university, analysed
atmospheric CO2 and emissions data gathered since 1850 and
has shown that “the trend in the airborne fraction since 1850 has been 0.7 ±
1.4 percent per decade, i.e. close to and not significantly different from
zero.”
In
other words, the data shows that there has been no increase in atmospheric
CO2 volume for the past 160 years — flying in the face of the
climate change fanatics who claim the direct opposite.
According to the study, only 40 to 45 percent of emitted CO2
stays in the atmosphere.
Climate
models currently assume that the airborne fraction of CO2 is
increasing and will continue to do so, which is a key part of their
long-term predictions.
The
research, published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, is
the latest revelation that will further weaken public confidence in the
political elite which uses the alarmism of the climatology cult as an excuse
to impose massive tax hikes and interference with individual freedom on the
citizens of the Western world.
What
has already started with dangerous mercury light bulbs and a 15 percent
increase on all our electricity bills to pay for the blighting of our
landscape with inefficient wind factories, is set to become a crippling tax
burden on consumers and to complete the deindustrialisation of the UK.
This is
not an accident, it is intentional — and David Cameron’s Tories are as
guilty of collaboration with this appalling scheme as the Labour government.

anthropogenic CO2 emissions increasing?” can be found by

The
abstract reads as follows:
“Several recent studies have highlighted the possibility that the oceans and
terrestrial ecosystems have started losing part of their ability to
sequester a large proportion of the anthropogenic CO2 emissions.
This is an important claim, because so far only about 40% of those emissions
have stayed in the atmosphere, which has prevented additional climate
change. This study re-examines the available atmospheric CO2 and
emissions data including their uncertainties. It is shown that with those
uncertainties, the trend in the airborne fraction since 1850 has been 0.7 ±
1.4% per decade, i.e. close to and not significantly different from zero.
The analysis further shows that the statistical model of a constant airborne
fraction agrees best with the available data if emissions from land use
change are scaled down to 82% or less of their original estimates. Despite
the predictions of coupled climate-carbon cycle models, no trend in the
airborne fraction can be found.
