Actual Data
|
Which Theory Wins
|
Antarctic and Arctic Temperatures
|
Temperatures in the Arctic and Antarctic will
rise symmetrically
|
Temperatures will initially move in opposite
directions
|
Temperatures move in opposite directions
|
Sun/Cosmic Ray
|
Troposphere Temperature
|
Fastest warming will be in the troposphere over
the tropics
|
The troposphere warming will be uniform
|
The surface warming is similar or greater than
troposphere
warming
|
Sun/Cosmic Ray |
Timing of CO2 and Temperature Changes at End of
Ice Age
|
CO2 increases then temperature increases
|
Temperature increases then CO2 increases
|
CO2 concentrations increase about 800 years
after temperature increases
|
Sun/Cosmic Ray |
Temperature correlate with the driver over last
400 year

Cosmic ray flux and Sun activity correlates with
temperature, CO2 does not
|
Sun/Cosmic Ray |
Temperatures during Ordovician period
|
Very hot due to CO2 levels > 10X present
|
Very cold due to high cosmic ray flux
|
Very cold ice age
|
Sun/Cosmic Ray |
Other Planets' Climate
|
No change
|
Other planets will warm
|
Warming has been detected on several other
planets
