An interesting note in the Financial Post and a document from Ph.D. Qing-Bin Lu in the Journal Of Cosmology still raises the question:  Where is the Hot-Spot?  In the article it is explained in detail why CO₂ is largely without any warming effect and that CFCs are very effective warmers.  I just have to ask why, when the famously predicted Hot-Spot proven to be missing.  The second problem is that the outgoing radiation, into space, has increased at the exact same rate as the surface temperature.  So where is the trace of the theoretically measurable effect of the warming gases in the atmosphere?  Do we ever find real proof that composition in the atmosphere is the major driver of fluctuation in global temperature?

Lawrence Solomon: Global cooling underway

Lawrence Solomon  July 6, 2010 – 11:35 pm

Long-term global cooling began in 2002, according to a just-released study in the Journal of Cosmology, a peer-reviewed publication produced at Harvard-Smithsonian’s Center for Astrophysics. Man-made global warming was real and dangerous, the study finds, but the danger has passed.

The study, authored by Qing-Bin Lu, a rising star at the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Waterloo in Canada, explains why climate models have been so spectacularly wrong in trying to tie the global warming of the last half of the 20th century to CO2 — the climate modelers fingered the wrong culprit when they targeted CO2. The true culprits, Dr. Lu explains, were CFCs, the now banned substances that until the 1990s had been a refrigerant and propellant to products as diverse as air conditioners and hair spray cans.

Fortunately for the globe, environmentalists had CFCs banned because of their role in depleting the ozone layer, not realizing that the ban was simultaneously solving the global warming threat.

According to Dr. Lu, the phase-out of CFCs will be reversing the global warming effect by ushering in a 50 to 70-year period of global cooling.
