tw, I noticed that in the first URL you cited that even though 5 years
of Ocean temperature data showed that not only did the oceans
temperatures NOT increase but they actually cooled a slight amount!
Despite that the folks who used the Argo system to collect results that
they thought would support the GWT began immediately making wild
speculation and conjectures to nullify their OWN data and continued to
BELIEVE in th GWT. Now, that's FAITH.
The reason WHY they began trying to explain away their own data is
revealed in your second URL citation, which tells of an GWT activist's
journey away from the GWT:
"Miskolczi's story reads like a book. Looking at a series of
differential equations for the greenhouse effect, *he noticed the
solution -- originally done in 1922 by Arthur Milne, but still used by
climate researchers today -- ignored boundary conditions by /assuming an
"infinitely thick" atmosphere./ Similar assumptions are common when
solving differential equations; they simplify the calculations and often
result in a result that still very closely matches reality. /But not
always./*
So Miskolczi re-derived the solution, this time using the proper
boundary conditions for an atmosphere that is not infinite. His result
included a new term, which acts as a negative feedback to counter the
positive forcing. At low levels, the new term means a small difference
... but as greenhouse gases rise, the negative feedback predominates,
forcing values back down.
*****NASA refused to release the results.****** Miskolczi believes
their motivation is simple. "Money", he tells DailyTech. Research that
contradicts the view of an impending crisis jeopardizes funding, not
only for his own atmosphere-monitoring project, but all climate-change
research. Currently, funding for climate research tops $5 billion per year."
And there you have it. It's all about MONEY.
