The "root cause" is natural climate cy... <br />The "root cause" is natural climate cycles, one of about 1,000 years and another of 60 years superimposed on the first. The current slight cooling since 1998 will continue for another 14 or 15 years, and about 500 years of long-term cooling is due to start within the next 100 years or so. <br /><br /><b>These natural climate cycles are compellingly correlated with the inverted plot of the scalar sum of the angular momentum of the Sun and all the planets, possibly because of planetary magnetic fields which reach to the Sun and may affect its radiation and cosmic ray flux.</b><br /> <br />Because the temperature gradient in a planet's troposphere is the state of thermodynamic equilibrium which the Second Law of Thermodynamics says will evolve, the planet’s supported surface temperature is autonomously warmer than its mean radiating temperature, so warm in fact on Earth that we need radiating gases (mostly water vapour) to reduce the gradient and thus cool the surface from a mean of about 300K to about 288K, this being confirmed by empirical evidence (as in the study in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Why-Its-Carbon-Dioxide-After/dp/1478729228" rel="nofollow">my book</a>) which confirms with statistical significance that water vapour cools rather than warms, <b>all these facts thus debunking the greenhouse conjecture.</b><br /><br /> <br />Doug Cottonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08564342660783793003noreply@blogger.com
