Statistics Norway just published a shocking manuscript that offers a actual analysis of global temperatures. It is well worth reading (English translation is here) for anyone interested in the facts behind trends in global temperatures.

In its introduction, Climate Discussion Nexus explains why this research is important (emphasis mine):

Well, this is awkward. Statistics Norway, aka Statistisk sentralbyrå or “the national statistical institute of Norway and the main producer of official statistics”, has just published a paper “To what extent are temperature levels changing due to greenhouse gas emissions?”

The awkward part isn’t trying to grasp the subtleties of Norwegian since it’s also available in English. It’s that the Abstract bluntly declares that “standard climate models are rejected by time series data on global temperatures” while the conclusions state “the results imply that the effect of man-made CO2 emissions does not appear to be sufficiently strong to cause systematic changes in the pattern of the temperature fluctuations.”

But the really awkward part is that a paper from a government agency dares to address openly so many questions the alarmist establishment has spent decades declaring taboo, from the historical record on climate to the existence of massive uncertainty among scientists on it.

Legal Insurrection elaborates on why the Norwegian manuscript’s findings are important:

What the Norwegians did was conduct statistical analyses of observed and reconstructed temperature series and test whether the recent fluctuation in temperatures differs systematically from previous temperature cycles potentially due to the emission of greenhouse gases. For example, the researchers gathered all the data from various sources, including those related to the four previous glacial and inter-glacial periods, and did a statistical analysis to see how more recent Global Climate Models (GCMs) compare.

While the study’s authors, John K. Dagsvik and Sigmund H. Moen, recognize the scientific community’s so-called consensus on climate change, the two gentlemen do point out that climate scientists appear to actively hide their data and are not always willing to release it.

“For non-experts, it is very difficult to obtain a comprehensive picture of the research in this field, and it is almost impossible to obtain an overview and understanding of the scientific basis for such a consensus,” the study states.

However, as opposed to a man-made explanation, ultimately the two researchers conclude that, global warming or climate change being the result of a natural occurrence. As a result, CO2 emissions are statistically irrelevant.

Last year, Norwegian leaders scrapped tax benefits for electric car purchases and they obviously now realize that fossil fuels are the best in providing cheap, affordable energy to Norwegian citizens as evidence of the recent push in Norway for fossil fuel exploration and extraction.

This research is obviously an extension of Norwegian leader’s vision to push ahead regardless of climate alarmist’s vitriol and the scientist’s findings are a huge blow to the climate cult’s alarmism. The Climate Industrial Complex in the West will undoubtedly shrug the study off or downplay it claiming that the research was not conducted by climate scientists, despite Norwegian researchers having backgrounds in statistics which gives them little leeway to lie about their findings.
