Japanese: U.N. Man-Made Global Warming Theory Like 'Ancient Astrology'

Japanese scientists have made a dramatic break with the United Nations’
view on man-made global warming with a report asserting that “this
hypothesis has been substituted for truth.”
Three of the five researchers involved in the report disagree with the
view of the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that
recent warming is due primarily to industrial emissions of greenhouse
gases, and say it is instead driven by natural cycles.
The report was issued by the Japan Society of Energy and Resources, an
academic group representing scientists from the energy and resource
fields that acts as a government advisory panel. The report has been
translated from the Japanese by The Register in Britain.
Kanya Kusano, Program Director for the Earth Simulator at the Japan
Agency for Marine-Earth Science & Technology, compares computer climate
modeling used to support the man-made global warming theory to “ancient
astrology.”
He states that the IPCC’s “conclusion that from now on atmospheric
temperatures are likely to show a continuous, monotonous increase should
be perceived as an unprovable hypothesis.”
Shunichi Akasofu, head of the International Arctic Research Center in
Alaska, agrees: “IPCC’s theory that atmospheric temperature has risen
since 2000 in correspondence with [carbon dioxide increases] is nothing
but a hypothesis.”
Among the points made in the report:
CO2 emissions began to increase significantly after 1946 and are still
rising. Therefore, according to the IPCC, global atmospheric
temperatures should continue to increase. However, temperatures stopped
increasing in 2001.
The global temperature increase up to today is primarily a recovery from
the “Little Ice Age” that earth experienced from 1400 to 1800. This rise
peaked in 2000.
Global warming and the “halting of the temperature rise are related to
solar activity.”
Despite the continuing controversy and uncertainty surrounding the
claims of man-made global warming, efforts to influence major climate
change legislation in Washington are heating up.
An analysis by the Center for Public Integrity found that more than 770
companies and interest groups hired an estimated 2,340 lobbyists in the
past year to influence federal policy.
Politico.com notes that since 2003, the number of global warming
lobbyists has risen by more than 300 percent, and “Washington can now
boast more than four climate lobbyists for every member of Congress.”
