Some Nobel Prize recipients have sent a letter to the IPCC asking for them to provide proof that recent increases in atmospheric CO2 are causing an increase in global temperatures. I'll bet that the IPCC does not respond. This is from Bruce session's notebook.

THURSDAY 5-08-08…Now that the month of April is history, and it’s obvious the mainstream media has ignored this, I will share it with you. A fellow Nobel Peace Prize recipient is part of a group asking the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate change to admit that there is no observational evidence in measured data going back 22,000 years or even millions of years that CO2 levels (whether from man or nature) have driven or are driving world temperatures.

The letter states “If you believe there IS evidence of the CO2 driver theory in the available data, please present a graph of it. We draw your attention to three observational refutations of the IPCC position (and note there are more.) Ice-core data from the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment shows that temperatures have fallen since around 4,000 years ago, while CO2 levels have risen, yet, this graphical data was conveniently left out of the IPCC Summery for Policymakers.

More recent data shows that in the opposite sense to IPCC predictions, world temperatures have not risen, and indeed have fallen over the past ten years while CO2 levels have risen dramatically.

IPCC policy is already leading to economic and unintended environmental damage. Specifically, the policy of burning food –corn, as biofuel–has contributed to sharp rises in food prices which are causing great hardship in many countries and is also now leading to increased deforestation in Brazil, Malaysia, Indonesia, Togo, Cambodia, Nigeria, Burundi, Sri Lanka and Uganda for cultivation of crops.

Given the economic devastation that is already happening, and which is now widely recognized will continue to flow from this policy, what possible justification can there be for its retention? We ask you and all those whose names are associated with IPCC policy to accept the scientific observations and renounce current IPCC policy.”

The letter is signed by Hans Schreuder, Analytical Chemist and nine other scientists, members of parliament and Nobel Prize recipients.

It’s not just Rush Limbaugh pointing out that the whole global warming thing is a hoax.
