The global output of atmospheric carbon dioxide jumped in 2010 by the biggest amount on record, according to the U.S. Department of Energy

The global output of atmospheric carbon dioxide jumped in 2010 by the biggest amount on record, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

In 2007 when the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued its last large report on global warming, it used different scenarios for carbon dioxide pollution and said the rate of warming would be based on the rate of pollution. Boden said the latest figures put global emissions higher than the worst case projections from the climate panel.

And yet, the global temperatures are not rising, as also predicted by those same IPCC models.

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

    The world climate stubbornly refuses to do what Al Gore ordered.

    He will smite it later for its insolence.

    What frosted me was the headline in Yahoo News – It said “ALARMING increase in Global Warming”, etc. Then when I read the article, I saw it was only CO2 output that rose, NOT temps ! ! Now talk about biased, misleading reporting! My first thought was, so if there’s this huge increase in CO2 but we haven’t seen a corresponding jump in Temps, doesn’t that call the entire theory into question?

    90% of all the carbon humans ever released, 90% of all the fosile fuels ever used, has been since WW-II.

    Hottest year in modern recorded history? 1934.

    Great point! Also, climatologists acknowledge that there were periods in the past (a few thousand years ago, if I recall correctly) that were warmer than now. Clearly there were no cars, airplanes, or any burning of fossil fuels at that time, so how does that jibe with the idea of “Man-Made Global Warming”? It doesn’t…

    What’s the source of the Earth’s warmth? The SUN, of course ! ! And when the Sun’s output increases, so do Earth’s temps. If your home is too warm or too cold, the first thing you do is check your heat source (your furnace) & see where your thermostat is set.You wouldn’t go looking at minor things like whether your windows were well insulated – that could be a minor contributor, but of course the first thing you’d check would be your heat source! Absoutely amazing to me that the single biggest factor controlling Earth’s climate is completely ignored! Everyone should keep this in mind: If the Sun winked out tomorrow, within days or weeks at the most, we’d be in the middle of an Ice Age like we’ve never seen & it wouldn’t be long before all life would be snuffed out…
