• San Diego’s own John Coleman understands weather and the $4B government funding of meaningless so-called science.

• Understands Roger Revelle’s career combining global warming and government funding of USCD campus, Scripps, then recanted– be careful of drastic action.

The science of global warming is a scam.

• It’s common knowledge that the historical/statistical data was scammed by the IPCC. But not many understand that the science was scammed as well.

• I’m an electrical engineer, I design microwave radios and work here in San Diego. I’m a real guy. I understand electromagnetic propagation. I understand the earth’s radiation budget.

• The notion that doubling CO2 concentration in the atmosphere would cause catastrophic global warming didn’t even pass the laugh test. CO2 is a well understood, well mixed gas.

• I thought the scam would die a natural death just like the last ice-age scare. 30,000 scientists in the US said the same thing. Over 9,000 were PHDs. CO2 is not a pollutant.

• The global warming scam didn’t go away. It had become part of a corrupt political agenda. We were supporting this fraud through the UN to the tune of $4B per year. Obama has increased that amount by over 5 times. …WHY?

• I was horrified when the US House of Representatives passed Cap and Trade in 2009. How could the most technically advanced country on earth let this happen?

• I did the research and ran the numbers. It took several months, working evenings and nights. The results? 0.5 C or 0.9 F. This is not catastrophic irreversible global warming. It is half the natural variation recorded since the last global cold period, over 200 years ago.

• I can vouch for climate skeptics. Well over 1,000 US scientists are capable of analyzing the earth’s radiation budget. It doesn’t take $4B per year. One person can estimate effect of CO2.

• The UN IPCC report is junk science. No validation of IPCC models has ever been done, or will ever be done. What is called “settled science” is a fraud that would only be exposed by data.

100% of the incoming energy from the sun is balanced by 100% percent total energy outgoing from the earth.

Earth-Atmosphere Energy Balance - NOAA

A realistic radiation budget.

Notice the percentage of infrared radiation leaving the earth’s surface… 15%

Atmospheric water, CO2, and other trace gasses interact with this radiation, and emit radiation into space.

Increasing CO2 reduces the 9% and increases the 40% outgoing radiation.

This radiation budget is purposely butchered to deceive.

Notice the percentage of infrared radiation leaving the earth’s surface…

492/235 = 209%

Radiated heat doesn’t travel in a circle. Heat travels from hot to cold.

Basic law of thermodynamics.

A popular transmission chart of the atmosphere.

Big problem with this commonly available data-- The novice thinks that the “thermal” radiation is blocked.

Junk science promotes this lie to the public.

The absorption and emission coefficient is virtually the same. The atmosphere absorbs AND radiates heat. Most of the heat leaving the earth is radiated from the atmosphere, not directly from the from the surface.

AGW Greenbank 2015

This chart shows absorption only and ignores emission!

The average temperature profile of earth’s atmosphere…

Note the warm region at the top of the stratosphere at 50 km.

CO2, unlike water and trace gasses, is stable and well mixed. CO2 emission in the warm region of the strato-sphere moderates the earths radiation budget.

Average atmospheric pressure and density profile…

Note: above 70 km there isn’t enough air to affect the radiation budget.

This chart shows the heat radiated as a function of uniform absorption/emission in order to show the effects of the earth’s temperature profile.

Doubling absorption increases radiation at high values of absorption found at the center of the CO2 band.

The green reference line is the average radiation leaving earth(235 Watts/m2).

Earth’s atmosphere is actually quite tolerant of changes in CO2 concentration.

Clear sky radiation flux density (weighting=70%, z2=70km):

Plot flux density at top of atmosphere z2, for doubling CO2 concentrationCO2 concentration: C1 = 380 ppm blue dotted line

C2 = 760 ppm red solid line

Blue dotted line– 380 ppm CO2

Red solid line– 760 ppm CO2

AGW Greenbank 2015

Note: flux density approaches the graybody characteristic of the cold tropopause (violet dot-dash line) near the CO2 absorption band. Flux density approaches the graybody characteristic of the earth’s surface (green dash line). There is a small difference between flux density of C1 (blue dotted line) and C2 (solid red line) for doubling CO2 concentration.

This chart shows the detail around the CO2 band for clear skies.

CO2 absorption/emission is modelled as a continuous spectrum (as opposed to a line spectrum) with the same total emission coefficient.

This clearly shows the small difference in total radiated power at the top of the atmosphere due to doubling CO2.

For obscured skies (clouds) the difference is less.

This chart shows the detail around the CO2 band for clouds

Clouds cover 30% of the earth’s surface.

This shows that doubling CO2 slightly increases total radiation at the top of the atmosphere into space for obscured skies.

The IPCC report (2005) noted their models ignored clouds --an inconvenient truth.

The real scam is that IPCC models speculate greatly increased water vapor in the upper atmosphere—which causes clouds!

Fact sheet regarding ‘Laudato si’, the global warming encyclical CO2 is not a pollutant, it is essential for all life on earth. Increasing atmospheric CO2 promotes plant life, and has no effect on humans and animals. Climate change is a fact. The climate has always been changing. San Diego was a rain forest 10,000 years ago. Western North America has been getting drier (not warmer) for 500 years.Global warming is measured from end of the “mini ice-age” which ended over 200 years ago. This was the coldest period since the last ice age which ended over 10,000 years ago. Man affects the earth wherever we go. Hopefully for the better. San Diego was a desert when Americans arrived. It is now a beautiful city. (before “jerrybrown”ing)Human-produced CO2 in the atmosphere has minimal effect on earth’s average temperature. (0.5 degC for doubling CO2, or about half the warming since the last global cool period.) Oil-based economies have raised billions of people out of poverty in the last two centuries. Slavery is no longer a part of western culture for agriculture and industry.

Facts in ‘Laudato si’ are wrong. Reference paragraphs 23 through 26. o The average temperature of the earth has not changed in over 18 years. o There is no “solid scientific consensus” regarding dangerous global warming. o Sea level rise is very steady at <3mm/year (about 7 inches since 1900). The rate of

change is linear and unaffected by increasing atmospheric CO2. o Glacial ice volume is not receding. Even if all ice melted, the sea would rise only 14 in.o It would require 2 times the volume of the Mississippi river to carry the glacial ice melt

needed to raise sea level 3mm/yr. o Polar ice caps are increasing. North polar cap is increasing since last cyclical low in 2007.o Tectonic plates can move 75 to 100 mm/year (Pacific Plate). Adduction at coast and

new crust formation at sea floor could account for 3 mm/year. o Many megacities are sinking (faster than the sea level is rising) due to water wells.o Catastrophic weather events are decreasing in magnitude and frequency. (However,

news reporting and monetary damage due to weather events is increasing.)o Gases do not block radiation. Gasses absorb AND emit radiation with equal efficiency at

any given temperature and wavelength. “Greenhouse gas” is an intentional deception. o Methane does not significantly contribute to long term global warming. Methane half-

life is 10 years. Average natural methane release (due to biomass decay) is steady.o CO2 due to decomposition is a net zero for atmospheric CO2. Plants first remove

carbon out of the air, before bacteria and fungus decompose the plants.o The poor whose livelihood relies on natural resources have always been affected by

climate change. Their situation is unaffected by increasing atmospheric CO2.o Policies that drastically reduce the clean emission of carbon dioxide will also

drastically affect the world’s poor, with no measureable benefit. o Energy storage technologies are expensive to develop and build. Natural gas and oil are

the most efficient means to serve peak energy demand.

The CO2 scam (catastrophic irreversible man-made global warming due to atmospheric CO2) is part of the secular progressive agenda, funded largely by US tax dollars through the UN.o 1988- UN IPCC formed. A panel of government representatives from many countries

published increasingly dire predictions of global warming from 1990 to 2014. o 1988- Al Gore politicized the CO2 scam in the US with a senate committee hearing. o 2003- state senator Barak Obama helped Al Gore establish the Chicago carbon

exchangeo 2006- Al Gore promoted movie “An Inconvenient Truth”. Entirely lies and deceptions.o 2007- Al Gore and the UN IPCC jointly receive the Nobel peace prize.o 2007- US Supreme Court finds that the EPA administrator can declare CO2 is a

pollutant. o 2009- Barak Obama is nominated for Nobel peace prize 12 days after taking office. o 2009- Obama increases global warming funding five-fold. o 2009- US House of Representatives passed a carbon tax bill. o 2009-“Climate gate” exposed the intentional cherry-picking and corruption of scientific

records of the earth’s temperature. Also called the “hockey-stick” chart.o 2009- Democratic supermajority drops carbon legislation to focus on Obama-care. o 2010- Chicago carbon exchange shuts down.o 2010- Obama and the Supreme Court use EPA carbon regulations to bypass congress.o 2011 to 2014- After failed predictions, Al Gore tries to make climate change a religion.o 2015- Pope Francis published ‘Laudato Si’, called “the global warming encyclical”

The CO2 scam provides the fear needed to fund an international governing body to regulate oil-based economies, through the UN. (The EPA on steroids).

The present cost of compliance for federal bureaucratic climate change regulations on business and families in the US alone is $2 trillion dollars per year. This doesn’t include state and local regulations, increased utility cost, and American job loss.

The objective of the UN COP21 climate change conference, in Paris December 2015, is to achieve a binding and universal agreement on climate from all the nations of the world.

Pope Francis published the encyclical ‘Laudato si' intended, in part, to influence the UN climate change conference. The encyclical calls for action against human-caused climate change.

90% of ‘Laudato si’ is a rewrite of UN agenda 21, also called “sustainable development”. Word crafting was used to avoid stating facts that are wrong or controversial.

“Climate justice”, rather than social justice, will now become part of the secular progressive agenda, and a means to fund one-world governmental regulation.
