Have you ever heard of The Research Council of Norway? Unless you are someone who reads the literature of the global warming crowd, the answer is likely no. The Research Council of Norway or RCN is one of those groups that has done climate studies that showed rapid warming of the Earth. Indeed, ten years ago, RCN reviewed the data and predicted that global warming would result in an increase in average temperature of the Earth of 3.7 degrees Celsius by the time a new equilibrium was reached; this was higher than the 3 degree figure that was said to be the most likely by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. All those international conferences had as their goal finding a way to keep the increase in the average temperature below 2 degrees Celsius.
Well the RCN has issued a new report after updating its research to include data from the period beginning after the year 2000. The report can be summed up in one word: nevermind. That's right, the new conclusion of a charter member of the global warming hysteria club is that absent any changes from the current rate of increase in CO2 emissions, the increase in average temperature will top out at 1.9 degrees Celsius, or slightly under the target desired by the global warming crowd themselves. According to the RCN, the earlier estimates were thrown off by the fact that the 1990s was a period of periodic climate warming that had nothing to do with greenhouse gases, so that the models of ten years ago extrapolated much more warming from carbon emissions than was proper.
While it is unlikely that you will see any media coverage of this story, it is actually of earthshaking importance. What it means is that the entire global warming problem of which we have heard so much is actually no big deal. Many folks already knew that, but the adherents of the global warming religion (which is what it is) clung to their predictions of the end of the world in an ungodly sauna. For the RCN to admit reality is a major step towards the frauds of the world like Al Gore being forced to shut up.
