ECD Pilgrim

I have lived my entire life near either side of the Eastern Continental Divide. And, I am a pilgrim on a road that is narrow and not easy that leads to the Celestial City of God. On my journey, I attempt to live and apply the Gospel in this world that is not my home. These are some of my observations from a Biblical and Reformed perspective.

Global Warming
Is it over?????

A report of an interview in The Australian seems to indicate that temperature increases have plateaued. So, is GW over? Is the hoo ha over greenhouse gases going to be relegated to the dust bin of history? Is the catastrophe over? You can read the entire article at www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,23411799-7583,00.html
Here is a sample:

Question:"Is the Earth still warming?"

Answer: "No, actually, there has been cooling, if you take 1998 as your point of reference. If you take 2002 as your point of reference, then temperatures have plateaued. This is certainly not what you'd expect if carbon dioxide is driving temperature because carbon dioxide levels have been increasing but temperatures have actually been coming down over the last 10 years."

The interviewee, Jennifer Marohasy, a biologist and senior fellow at the think tank Institute of Public Affairs in Melbourne, AUS, claims that the head of the Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change also believes GW is history. The data gathered by NASA’s Aqua satellite has had a lot to do with these new revelations. Climate Scientist Roy Spencer’s interpretation of the data has, according to Marohasy, “people still in shock at this point.”

What is very odd is that there have been no reports in the American Press about this. The Aussie article was on 22 March, yet when you Google “Aqua Satellite Global Warming” three is no American press report. Spencer’s book Climate Confusion, released recently will soon be putting the issue back in the public light…hopefully. Then, the GW fanatics, who want all government as well as private policy decisions to be bathed in man made global warming, will have to explain the Aqua Satellite findings they were all so anxious to obtain. Stay tuned, the GW debate is not over yet.
