New study debunks global warming claims | Washington Examiner

Quite simply, the "Influence" study demolishes the claims of the IPCC. Conducted by two scientists from Australia and one from New Zealand, the peer-reviewed paper assessed the influence of the Southern Oscillation Index, (which manifests north of the Equator as El Nino), on global temperature variation. At least 81 percent of the variance in global temperatures is explained by the Southern Oscillation Index, according to the study. The study findings were recently published in the Journal of Geophysical Research. In view of these findings, the Senate should, at the very least, put cap-and-trade on hold, pending congressional hearings in September at which the Influence study authors and IPCC proponents can argue their cases. Then senators should be better able to make defensible decisions on whether it makes sense to impose radical new controls on the production and consumption of the energy that is the lifeblood of the U.S. economy.

But of course, there's no way that Democrats can tax or regulate the Southern Oscillation, so this study will not influence Democrat decision making.
