The Japanese Society of Energy and Resources is a government advising panel. Three of its five members have now broken with the IPCC to declare that, on the available evidence, it is likely that climate is driven by natural cycles and not human industrial activity.
Kenya Kusano, a director at the Japanese Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, says that the IPCC's computer model of an anthropogenic, monotonic and continuous temperature rise owes more to astrology than real science. What is clear is that a small rise in temperature has occured world wide since the Maunder Minimum ( When the Thames froze over ) in the 17th C. What is also apparently true is that despite an accelerated outpouring of carbon dioxide temperatures have not risen since around 2000. The recent lack of solar activity may be a controlling factor. In the absence of the magnetic fields produced by solar activity, cosmic ray particles reach the upper atmosphere to seed clouds and cool things down. A more convincing theory than Gore's blarney.
