AGW – Are atmospheric IR Temperature measurements valid?

This ‘National Review Online‘ post by Greg Pollowitz raises what is potentially a serious issue. As far as can be seen, this is a new claim, one which will undoubtedly create some degree of turmoil in the blogging space, if not the actual organizational level from the IPCC down and the top scientists who are non-believers of AGW.

Here is the article, relevant to the ‘Carbon Attack’ theme here, and open for comment.

It’s the Thermometer, Stupid

Could the thermometers that the climate alarmists rely on for their apocalyptic warming models be measuring the temperature incorrectly?  Could be:

An independent climate science think tank produces evidence from a leading infrared thermometer manufacturer proving that climatologists were mistakenly taking incorrect readings of atmospheric temperatures. Latest findings are set to trigger a paradigm shift in climate science.

Researchers from Canada, USA, Mexico and Britain this week announce a startling discovery that destroys 20 years’ of thinking among government climatologists.

Climate scientists had long believed infrared thermometers measured thermal radiation from the atmosphere and assumed it was ‘proof’ of the greenhouse gas effect (GHE). Their assumption was that infrared thermometers (IRT’s) were measuring ‘back radiated’ heat from greenhouse gases (including water vapor and carbon dioxide). But damning new evidence proves IRT’s do no such thing.

Now a world-leading manufacturer of these high-tech instruments, Mikron Instrument Company Inc., has confirmed that IRT’s are deliberately set to AVOID registering any feedback from greenhouse gases. Thus climate scientists were measuring everything but the energy emitted by carbon dioxide and water vapor.

One of the researchers involved, Alan Siddons, has analyzed the GHE for over six years. He has long condemned the practice of using IRT’s as a means of substantiating the increasingly discredited hypothesis.

    Spot on with this write-up, I actually assume this website wants far more consideration. I?ll in all probability be once more to learn way more, thanks for that info.
