-- global warming debate is heating up yet again afternoon NASA study seems to debunk whether it's actually man made.
According to -- Rasmussen poll 69% of Americans believe that some scientists lied in their research to support their own theories.
So what's the real story here let's look at the facts -- whether Bell's chief meteorologist Joba starting.
Good morning -- -- It's easy for people to see some of the numbers right now because across the country every state is at a record high in July in Texas Rick -- showed us forty plus days of a hundred degrees or more so they say.
Must be global warming.
Must be man -- right.
First of all they're not equate -- what happened in this country in the thirties forties and fifties.
Where the climate was far worse I suspect the global climate which we -- measures -- we do now because we have satellites.
Was as bad band or even worse.
It has to do an Oceanic warming in the back and forth that goes up but let me get let me just say this study by NASA now I know doctor Roy Spencer pretty well.
This is sort of intuitive and we sort of knew that was going to happen.
Simply because of the fact that when you look at carbon dioxide increases one point five parts per million a year.
We contribute 3% of that which means that.
The human contribution is one part -- twenty billion.
You realize how small that is -- a Trace gas necessary for life on the plane I mean it's almost incomprehensible that this is taken off.
The way it has a whole argument it contradicts what we call the first law of thermodynamics.
Energy can neither be created no additional Lloyd so to look for input of energy into the atmosphere.
You have to come from a -- source it's already out there carbon dioxide being part of it.
Maybe -- on one English Italian -- principle well I'll tell you what and I cannot -- pot banging I don't know but it her.
You make a mistake with his name is not making a -- -- make it disable mock up.
As simply says that any system in distress.
Physical or chemical the atmosphere.
Tries to return toward normalcy and that is why you're seeing temperatures level law.
We have warmed up overall over the last forty to thirty years -- the last 200 years because of sunspot cycles you -- Trace to the sunspot cycles.
And you can Trace it to that movement of the oceans.
Thing is it look in the next twenty to thirty years.
Global temperatures should return to where they were in the seventies we have a way of measuring objectively now not readjusting data -- proxy tree rings or whatever.
Since 1978.
We have been training satellites on the year -- so we can measure the temperatures without having to re adjusting to okay.
If the temperature returns back to where it was in the seventies because we switch the cycle in the Pacific the Atlantic's -- start getting cooler now to natural cycle.
You have your answer what's the big deal in the meantime it's leveled off over the last ten to fifteen years anyway.
They can't find the missing -- they can't find it they see the heat escaping into space not being trapped.
Seems to numbers don't add up and the numbers -- that's why you know what this team way to -- not to press -- I said Beckett -- -- -- could do is wait for heat waves in the -- -- -- come on before you blame.
Snow and cooling and.
