Cyclic variations of global temperature exclude significant antroprogenic influences

What is it about?

The global temperature of the last 2000 years is derived from a vast bulk of “proxy” data, as obtained from tree rings, sediments, etc. The temperature history thus obtained shows all historically recorded maxima and minima. The cycle analysis of the data yields three dominant cycles. These alone determined essentially Earth’s climate. In particular, the temperature increase from 1850 to 1995 exhibits itself as an effect of these cycles.

Why is it important?

Although in the literature a large number of works have shown that the role of CO2 for the global climate is insignificant, no comprehensive explanation of the climate dynamics has been given. We show here the decisive role of 3 cycles which, apart from representing the essence of the global climate of the last 2 millenia, reveals the warming from 1850 to 1995 as caused by the three dominant cycles alone, in contrast to the official attribution of this warming to CO2. Furthermore, the dominance of the three main cycles allows prediction that the Earth will cool until 2080.
