Noted global warming skeptic changes his mind
Jul 31st, 2012 at 11:53am
 
Looks like Alan jones will be lonely now because he will no longer be able to quote former climate skeptic Physics professor Richard A. Muller in his rants on radio Cheesy

Quote:
Physics professor Richard A. Muller now believes that the world's climate change is a result of human activity.

Muller, once one of the most noted scientists who continued to deny the fact that global warming even existed, now says that it does and he says we are to blame.

Physics professor Richard A. Muller now believes that the world's climate change is a result of human activity.


Muller, once one of the most noted scientists who continued to deny the fact that global warming even existed, now says that it does and he says we are to blame.

In a New York Times editorial, Muller wrote, "Three years ago I identified problems in previous climate studies that, in my mind, threw doubt on the very existence of global warming. Last year, following an intensive research effort involving a dozen scientists, I concluded that global warming was real and that the prior estimates of the rate of warming were correct. I’m now going a step further: Humans are almost entirely the cause."

Muller is employed by UC Berkeley, which recently received considerable funding from the Charles Koch Charitable Foundation, which happens to give a lot of money to global warming skeptics.

The LA Times quoted Koch Foundation spokesperson Tonya Mullins as saying, "Our grants are designed to promote independent research; as such, recipients hold full control over their findings. In this support, we strive to benefit society by promoting discovery and informing public policy."

The biggest cohesive group of manmade global warming skeptics continues to be meteorologists (and the liberal party), who see the admitted increase in global temperature and changes to the climate as being nothing more than the expected cyclical planetary change.

After all, there were things like ice ages and ice melt long before anyone started burning coal, and this is what many meteorologists point to when they try to debunk the manmade theory.

But, Muller writes, "Earth’s land has risen by two and a half degrees Fahrenheit over the past 250 years, including an increase of one and a half degrees over the most recent 50 years. Moreover, it appears likely that essentially all of this increase results from the human emission of greenhouse gases."

At best, Muller was always a believer in the co2 senario, but like a lot of people, was skeptical of the science trying to prove it.

The truth about Muller - "I was never a skeptic"

progs is so embarrassed... he really does believe in climate change but can't let others online know that as his job is to allow business maximum time to change it's money making models to allow continued maximisation of profits in the new paradigm!

The guy has done nothing and cant get peer-reviewed, so what is your point. Can you tell me why you are creaming in your pants over nothing or is there something no-one else knows.

What makes this latest Muller data funny. This v2 relies upon his failed to get peer-reviewed v1. Best data couldnt be more ignorant and pseudo scientific.

Nah - the denialist business is obviously a nice little earner. Galileo would turn in his grave.

It would have to be peer-reviewed you fool. You might think everyone is stupid with your usual lefty BS. No-one would say 'whatever you produce' unless you are taking it out of context, as they could have produced a piece of dog shi.., oh thats right, they did and now v2 redone dog shi.. of v1.

The angrier you get, the more incoherent you become.

May I ask what draws you to debating by way of the written word when you struggle so much at expressing your opinions and emotions with anything even approaching a basic level of competency?  Shocked
