Three New Studies Show Humans NOT the Cause of Global Warming
Three studies have found that natural phenomena, not human activity, is to blame for global warming. The papers published from June through October revealed that occurrences in the atmosphere and in the ocean trigger increased temperatures.
Humanity’s role in global warming appears to be minimal – and even causes a drop in temperatures, the studies noted.
In June, Geophysical Research Letters published a study pointing to Earth’s energy imbalance (EEI) as the reason for global warming.
“EEI is a relatively small difference between global mean solar radiation absorbed and thermal infrared radiation emitted to space,” the study explained.
It also noted that most of EEI warms the ocean, with the rest heating the land, melting ice and warming the atmosphere.
The authors of the study wrote that they have recorded “statistically indistinguishable decadal EEI increases from mid-2005 to mid-2019.”
They primarily attribute this to “an increase in absorbed solar radiation associated with decreased reflection by clouds.”
The study pointed to another natural phenomenon called the Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO), which is “a large-scale climate pattern associated with substantial shifts in sea-surface temperatures and clouds.”
According to the authors, the PDO shifted into a warm phase from around 2014 until 2020.
This change led to fewer clouds covering the ocean, allowing more solar radiation to be absorbed. “If the PDO were to reverse in the future, that would likely act to decrease the rate of heat uptake,” they wrote.
Lead study author Norman Loeb said: “The two very independent ways of looking at changes in Earth’s energy imbalance are in really, really good agreement.
They’re both showing this very large tend, which gives us a lot of confidence that what we’re seeing is a real phenomenon and not just an instrumental artifact.”
Writing for NoTricksZone, author Kenneth Richard commented on the study by Loeb and his colleagues.
He said that based on data from the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES), both clouds and the Earth’s surface account for 89 percent of global warming.
On the other hand, ‘greenhouse gases’ only account for “a tiny fraction” of this warming.
Two other studies debunk humanity’s role in global warming
Another study by two researchers from Germany also disproved the alleged role of humans in global warming.
Earlier this month, a study published in Atmosphere argued that anthropogenic emissions might actually cause global temperatures to drop.
The study authors referenced research by Loeb and his colleagues, which cited “a reduction in low cloud cover” for higher temperatures.
“We compare clear sky [areas] with cloudy areas and find that changes in the cloud structure should be the root cause,” the German researchers wrote.
They add that their own conclusions, based on CERES data, “conflict with the assumption that further global warming originates mainly from the [long-wave] radiation capture caused by ‘greenhouse gases’.”
Richard also commented on the study: “In fact, the ‘greenhouse effect’ impact has been negative; it has contributed a net cooling influence over the last two decades.”
In July, a study conducted by academic Antero Ollilia of Finland’s Aalto University was published in Current Journal of Applied Science and Technology.
Ollilia’s paper noted that from 2000 to 2019, “there are natural climate drivers that have rapid and significant temperature impacts exceeding the anthropogenic drivers” for that span of time.
Anthropogenic refers to pollutants derived from human activities.
The Finnish researcher’s study pointed out that any warming observed since 2015 “cannot be due to anthropogenic reasons.”

I don’t understand the obsession with energy balance. The clue is in “Thermodynamics”. There is no energy balance anywhere. If there was, nothing would be happening. There is only Conservation of Energy. If my kettle was in a state of energy balance when I boiled water it would never boil. The entire basis of thermodynamic is about change, not balance.

Hi Alan and PSI Readers,
Alan, you began: “I don’t understand the obsession with energy balance. The clue is in “Thermodynamics”.”
I do not understand the obsession with THERMODYNAMICS!!! It’s like nothing NEW happened in SCIENCE after our KNOWLEDGE of THERMODYNAMICS was achieved.
The HISTORICAL FACT is that a NEW, PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN, SOURCE OF ENERGY WAS DISCOVERED. We learned how it is that STARS (OUR SUN) have produced LIGHT (ENERGY) for such a long period of TIME.
If you stop learning about the NATURAL UNIVERSE after you have mastered THERMODYNAMICS, you are living in the DARK AGES.
Have a good day, Jerry

Yeah the clue is in the name thermo [heat] dynamics [movements]

Hi Alan and PSI Readers,
I see how you and readers might read what I wrote and conclude that I consider thermodynamics to be unimportant. I will quote you to try to clarify that thermodynamics is critically important.
“THERE IS NO ENERGY BALANCE ANY WHERE.”!!!
The solid earth system, the liquid earth system, and the gaseous atmospheric system are in a state of continual change. There is a diurnal (a continuous period of 24 hours) temperature oscillation of the air in contact with the liquid water surfaces and with the solid earth surfaces. And the temperatures of each phase are diurnally oscillating at different rates at different times. And the fluids (liquid water of ocean, sea, lake, streams) and air of the atmosphere are all flowing at different rates at different times at different locations. Only the solid earth can be considered to not be literally moving diurnally even though its temperatures at some depths are continually changing diurnally and are alway changing seasonally.
Hence, there is a fundamental fact that since everything is in a constant state of flux, average anything makes NO SENSE.
The best (most practical) we can do is to average the most variable factors each hour and also report the maximum and minimum values measured during the preceding hour. Yes, I’ve written this before and I have repeat it again and again until I can see evidence that you get it.
For the greatest fundamental mistake in trying to understand Climate is averaging a Global ANY THING. For if one looks at a map of the world’s climate we do not see one big global climate. We see localized areas of this climate classification or that classification, some areas are large and some are quite small. And we know that there are localized features (factors) which generally explains each localized climate classification.
Einstein is said to have stated: “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” I believe our problem is due to this thinking which involves this unlimited averaging process.
Have a good day, Jerry

And there is global cooling. Menstruating.

Climate, as everything, is dynamic. You are thus correct, as is Dave.

Dave’s comment was a an ignorant half truth, then mentions a period as if discussion, debate , science and knowledge are dismissed. An idiot.
