One of my frustrations has long been that dissenting opinions regarding Global Warming have been ignored or deliberately stifled by the acolytes of the Holy Consensus. 

Scientists with non conforming research have been denied funding and had their articles rejected by peer review for years.  They have faced death threats and open ridicule, including been held comparable to flat earthers and holocaust deniers.

Finally however the dissenting outcry is starting to be heard, notable with the recent BBC documentary “The Global Warming Swindle”.

Here is another:

Danish scientist: Global warming is a myth

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, March 15 (UPI) — A Danish scientist said the idea of a “global temperature” and global warming is more political than scientific.

University of Copenhagen Professor Bjarne Andresen has analyzed the topic in collaboration with Canadian Professors Christopher Essex from the University of Western Ontario and Ross McKitrick of the University of Guelph.

It is generally assumed the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans have grown warmer during the recent 50 years because of an upward trend in the so-called global temperature, which is the result of complex calculations and averaging of air temperature measurements taken around the world.

“It is impossible to talk about a single temperature for something as complicated as the climate of Earth,” said Andresen, an expert on thermodynamics. “A temperature can be defined only for a homogeneous system. Furthermore, the climate is not governed by a single temperature. Rather, differences of temperatures drive the processes and create the storms, sea currents, thunder, etc. which make up the climate”.

He says the currently used method of determining the global temperature — and any conclusion drawn from it — is more political than scientific.

The argument is presented in the Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics.

The argument at its root is common sense. 

No wonder they ignore it.

Face it:  The science is not settle, no matter how many times Gore says so.
