The Planet Doesn't Have a Fever After All

Recent NASA satellite data reveal a "huge discrepancy" between the climate models foisted by global warming proponents and real-world facts.

Climate models have assumed that human carbon dioxide emissions increase atmospheric humidity and cirrus clouds, which trap heat and cause global temperatures to rise.

But satellite data from 2000 through 2011 show there is far less heat being trapped than the climate models predicted; in addition, the atmosphere is releasing heat into space faster than the models predicted.

"The satellite observations suggest there is much more energy lost to space during and after warming than the climate models show."—Dr. Roy Spencer, principal research scientist at the University of Alabama, Huntsville

The major premise of the global warming theory has been that human carbon dioxide emissions are trapping a certain amount of heat in the earth's atmosphere and preventing it from escaping into space.

Americans can sleep well knowing the planet doesn't have a fever after all.

"With all of the hysteria, all of the fear, all of the phony science, could it be that man-made global warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people? It sure sounds like it."—U.S. Senator James M. Inhofe (R-Okla)
