1. 1 Cosmic - Solar beyond the IPCC consensus Francis Massen http://meteo.lcd.lu

2. 2 Remember: 1972 In 1972 the Club of Rome published its landmark report, Limits to Growth, which dramatically predicted the inevitable collapse of civilization unless economic growth was halted immediately The only solution to avoid this horrible outcome? Strict government-imposed controls on just about everything and a restriction of average industrial output per capita at about the 1975 level.

3. 3 remember: 1975

4. 4 Newsweek

5. 5 The Little Ice Age (LIA) From 1400 -1600(?) to 1850(?) At least 1°C colder Probably global, not only NH Not uniform (time/regional)

6. 6 Maunder Minimum

7. 7 Solar irradiance variation 1880

8. 8 Be10 = solar activity proxy (ice core) Inverted scale

9. 9 C14 = solar activity proxy (tree rings) Red + Green = Be10

10. 10 Solar wind

11. 11 Solar wind speed

12. 12 Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCR) GCR = electrons protons (90%) helium (9%) other nuclei (all elements)

13. 13 GCR modulation by solar activity Active sun > many sun spots > strong solar wind > blown away GCRs > less Be10 + C14

14. 14 Decreasing GCR

15. 15 Cosmic shower (here iron)

16. 16 Ion density low middle high

17. 17 GCR >>> CCN

18. 18 GCR and clouds

19. 19 GCR >>> clouds Low clouds ( < 3.2 km) Middle clouds ( 3.2- 6.5 km) High clouds ( > 6.5 km)

20. 20 Cloud forcings

21. 21 GRC and low cloud cover measured low cloud cover

22. 22 TSI - GCR - cloud cover Inverted scale!

23. 23 Sky experiment Svensmark, Danish National Spacecenter, 2005 Natural Cosmic rays > free electrons > clustering > CCN

24. 24 CERN: CLOUD project (J. Kirkby, 2007-2010?)

25. 25 Radiative heating IPPC: CO2 emissions = + 1.66 W/m2 Palle: warming due to the reduction in cloud cover 1993 to 2001 = + 7.5 W/m2

26. 26 IPCC consensus forcings LOSU = level of scientific understanding high low ( Change relative to pre-industrial 1750 situation)

27. 27 IPCC concensus ignored climate forcings Cosmic rays UV increase (10 times TSI increase) Ocean emissivity (positive solar feedback) Albedo decrease (greening earth) ???? IPCC climate sensitivity Cs = dT/Σforcings = 0.75K/(Wm -2 ) probably much too high i.e. wrong!

28. 28 Dirty snow June 2007 IPCC: < 7%

29. 29 Decreasing AOT (atmospheric optical thickness) AOT is a measure of the atmospheres turpitude at a special wavelength. AOT = [0…1]

31. 31 GCM models unreliable Observation Arctic Winter 1954-2003 Model (hindcast)

32. 32 Prof. S. Akasufo (director of the Arctic International Research Center) There is so far no definitive proof that most of the observed warming is due to the (man made) greenhouse effect (March 2007)

33. 33 Prof. R. Lindzen, MIT Die heutige Unruhe hat ihre Ursachen zum grössten Teil in mangelnden Kenntnissen, was bei Wetter und Klima normal ist… Sämtliche Untersuchungen zu den Auswirkungen des Klimawandels gehen von einer langen Kette von Voraussetzungen aus, und es besteht nur eine sehr geringe Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass die Folgen dieser Kette richtig vorausgesagt werden [Cicerone, Juni 07]
