QUESTION

ARE HUMANS CAUSING THE INCREASE IN GREENHOUSE GASES? HOW?

ANSWER:

THIS IS A FOUNDATIONAL ASSUMPTION IN THE CLIMATE SCIENCE OF ANTHROPOGENIC GLOBAL WARMING BUT NO EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FOR THIS RELATIONSHIP HAS EVER BEEN PRESENTED AND NO EVIDENCE IS FOUND IN THE DATA. WHAT’S MORE CLIMATE SCIENCE HAS ABONDENED THIS CAUSATION HYPOTHESIS BY MOVING TO THE TCRE METRIC FOR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EMISSIONS AND WARMING BUT THE TCRE IS A FLAWED DEVICE AS SHOWN BELOW.

CONCLUSION:

THE PROPOSED RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FOSSIL FUEL EMISSIONS AND ATMOSPHERIC COMPOSITION IS NOT FOUND IN THE DATA. THE CLIMATE SCIENCE RESPONSE TO THAT ISSUE WAS TO PROPOSE THE TCRE METRIC AS THE EVIDENCE THAT FOSSIL FUEL EMISSIONS DRIVE WARMING BUT THAT PROPOSAL CONTAINS SERIOUS STATISTICAL ERRORS AS DESCRIBED IN THE DOCUMENT LINKED ABOVE IN LINK#3:
