Jumps off Global Warming ‘Titanic’

By John O'Sullivan
Monday, November 22, 2010

A top East European climatologist, who shared the Nobel Peace Prize
with UN global warming colleagues, jumps a sinking ship as ocean data
signals a cooler climate.

Dr. Lucka Kajfež Bogataj left cold clear water between herself and her
former UN shipmates by declaring that rising levels of airborne carbon
dioxide probably don’t cause global temperatures to rise. The news
scuppers hope for a change in fortune for the beleagured UN climate
agency.

Their doomed ‘ship,’ the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) has been sailing on an ill wind ever since it was struck by
that Climategate ‘torpedo’ last year.

The Slovenian climate professor made the chilling announcement last
month in an obscure foreign language journal that has only now been
translated into English. The lambast came in the publication Delo
Polet (18/11/2010), translated into English as, “Inconvenient Truth.�
Inside Bogataj publishes a paper entitled, “The more we know, the
better. “

Rises in Levels of Carbon Dioxide follow Rises in Temperatures

Buried in an otherwise drab study on paleo - and proxy methods, Dr.
Bogataj admitted to what skeptics have long been saying and what the
ice core proxy data shows: that rises in atmospheric levels of carbon
dioxide (CO2) are proven to mostly, if not always, occur AFTER rises
in temperature.

The eminent Slovenian expert is also key climate change adviser to her
nation’s president, Danilo Turk. Bogataj’s article, translated into
English by her countryman, Miso Alkalaj, makes a startling admission:

Â* Â* “A detailed comparison of temperature data and the quantity of
carbon dioxide captured in the ice shows, that sometimes it warmed up
first and then the concentration of carbon dioxide increased, and
sometimes vice versa, but on average the temperature changed first and
some 700 years later a change in aerial content of carbon dioxide
followed.�

A startling admission? A statement of the bleeding obvious - it's been
known for years that this is what the paleo record shows. After the
temperature rises, the oceans warm and release CO2.

Nowadays humans release CO2, the oceans don't warm because of their
huge heat capacity, the oceans absorb some of that CO2 and acidify.

What skulduggery by O'Sullivan - there is no quote from the article to
the effect that Ms. Bogataj has taken a contrary position to the
world's scientific community on the matter of CO2 causing GW, and my
guess is that she did nothing of the sort. I hope she sues him for
misrepresentation if this is the case. That's what bottom-feeding
ambulance-chasers deserve.
