[Natural News]: Three studies have found that natural phenomena, not human activity, is to blame for global warming. The papers published from June through October revealed that occurrences in the atmosphere and in the ocean trigger increased temperatures. Humanity’s role in global warming appears to be minimal – and even causes a drop in temperatures, the studies noted.
In June, Geophysical Research Letters published a study pointing to Earth’s energy imbalance (EEI) as the reason for global warming. “EEI is a relatively small difference between global mean solar radiation absorbed and thermal infrared radiation emitted to space,” the study explained.
It also noted that most of EEI warms the ocean, with the rest heating the land, melting ice and warming the atmosphere. The authors of the study wrote that they have recorded “statistically indistinguishable decadal EEI increases from mid-2005 to mid-2019.” They primarily attribute this to “an increase in absorbed solar radiation associated with decreased reflection by clouds.”
The study pointed to another natural phenomenon called the Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO), which is “a large-scale climate pattern associated with substantial shifts in sea-surface temperatures and clouds.” According to the authors, the PDO shifted into a warm phase from around 2014 until 2020. This change led to fewer clouds covering the ocean, allowing more solar radiation to be absorbed. “If the PDO were to reverse in the future, that would likely act to decrease the rate of heat uptake,” they wrote....<<<Read More>>>...
