The new study, published in the online journal Geophysical ResearchLetters, does not deny that increasing amounts of CO2 have beengenerated as the world has industrialized, eradicated disease, producedagricultural abundance and improved man's standard of living. It doesshow that only 45% of man's emissions, not 100% as warmers claim, staysin the atmosphere, and that includes the carbon emissions of theprivate jets that flew to Copenhagen last month and the limos thatdrove the occupants around.
The rest is absorbed by nature, and that percentage hasn't changedsince 1850. Knorr arrived at that figure by relying solely onmeasurements and statistical data, including historical recordsextracted from Antarctic ice. He did not rely, as the CRU did, on badlywritten computer models with built-in fudge factors to direct the datato a foregone conclusion.
