Human activity continues to warm the planet over the past 16 years

Examines the science and arguments of global warming skepticism. Common objections like 'global warming is caused by the sun', 'temperature has changed naturally in the past' or 'other planets are warming too' are examined to see what the science really says.

Skeptical Science
> In an interview with the #GlobalWarmingPolicyFoundation, Svensmark claimed we are experiencing global cooling and that temperatures have not increased “for the past 20 years”: (This statement is one of several common myths listed by SkepticalScience):
“... temperatures are not increasing. I mean, they haven’t been increasing for the past twenty years,” Svensmark said.

Henrik Svensmark Credentials  Ph.D., Physics Laboratory I, Technical University of Denmark, (September, 1987). [1] Master of Science in Engineering (Cand. Polyt), Physics Laboratory I, The Technical University of Denmark, (February, 1985). [1] Background Henrik Svensmark is a physicist at the Danish National Space Center in Copenhagen. Svensmark has studied the effects of cosmic rays on cloud formation and […]

DeSmog
> Scientists have generally not found the published work of #Svensmark et al. persuasive. For example, Lockwood et al.. find that "The cloud-cosmic ray suggestion increasingly fails to match observations". A joint Spanish/Japanese collaboration of solar ray/astrophysics experts found that the change in global cloud cover is closely correlated with El Niño–Southern Oscillation and uncorrelated with solar rays.
