Climate Change: .01% is 'Man-made' According to Results Duplicated Study
Original Research, here:
They feel that they have figured out why the IPCC's figures overestimate anthropogenic global warming, as well: cloud coverage.
We have proven that the GCM-models used in IPCC report AR5 cannot compute correctly the natural component included in the observed global temperature. The reason is that the models fail to derive the influences of low cloud cover fraction on the global temperature. A too small natural component results in a too large portion for the contribution of the greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. That is why IPCC represents the climate sensitivity more than one order of magnitude larger than our sensitivity 0.24°C. Because the anthropogenic portion in the increased CO2 is less than 10 %, we have practically no anthropogenic climate change. The low clouds control mainly the global temperature.
Kobe University corroborates most of these findings:
"The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has discussed the impact of cloud cover on climate in their evaluations, but this phenomenon has never been considered in climate predictions due to the insufficient physical understanding of it," comments Professor Hyodo. "This study provides an opportunity to rethink the impact of clouds on climate. When galactic cosmic rays increase, so do low clouds, and when cosmic rays decrease clouds do as well, so climate warming may be caused by an opposite-umbrella effect. The umbrella effect caused by galactic cosmic rays is important when thinking about current global warming as well as the warm period of the medieval era."
Regardless of their findings, they did find anthropogenic global warming is a thing. Even after discovering a huge portion of global warming can be attributed to low-cloud coverage, they still find a very minute element of anthropogenic global warming. .01% is still something.
HOWEVER!!!!!
The question should not be about all the global warming man is producing. It should be about moving our energy and industry to sustainable renewable energy sources and environmentally safe, LONG-TERM practices. We need to consider what the world will be like 50-100 years from now and do our best to leave a good planet for our progeny. We don't need to cripple human industry in self-guilt over warming that is almost completely not our fault. But not much changes on what we should be doing - we still need to user cleaner sources of energy.
Galactic Cosmic Rays? Seems like a joke.
