‘I THINK THE DAM IS CRUMBLING’, AWARD-WINNING JOURNALIST ALEX NEWMAN TOLD JOSHUA PHILIPP OF EPOCHTV.
Newman was speaking of the so-called ‘scientific consensus’ over human-induced climate change.
“Three new peer-reviewed papers, published in major prestigious scientific journals… completely undermine the alleged scientific consensus on man-made global warming,” said Newman.
“A series of three new peer-reviewed papers published in major scientific journals just over the last month or so – and taken together they completely undermine the alleged scientific consensus on man-made global warming.
“One of them found that about 40 per cent of the observed warming can be explained away using the ‘urban heat island effect’.”
This effect holds that structures like buildings, roads, and other infrastructure absorb and re-emit the sun’s heat more than natural landscapes such as forests and water bodies, thus artificially inflating temperatures.
“A lot of these thermometers were put out there in a open field in a rural area. A city was built up around it and so it gets warmer obviously – not because there is global warming but because there’s a city around the thermometer.
“The rest of the warming can be easily explained by solar activity that NASA has been tracking meticulously for many decades.”
The study’s authors were “very well-established, very prestigious, highly credentialed experts”, and included top former Harvard astrophysicist Willy Soon (lead author), and independent climate and environmental expert Dr Ronan Connelly.
“It’s good to see some alternative viewpoints published in the scientific literature. I think the dam is finally cracking,” said Newman.
