Satellite Data Strongly Challenges
Global Warming Models
NASA has a satellite in earth orbit called "Aqua," measuring various attributes of the earth’s surface. There is a device attached to this satellite called the "Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer which is supplying some interesting hard data about radiation of heat from the earth into outer space.
The radiometer data from 2000 to 2011 indicate that far more heat is radiated out into space than the global warming computer models have predicted, according to a peer-review4ed articl4e I the journal Remote Sensing. The results support earlier (pre-UN IPCC 2007) studies that show that far less carbon dioxide is trapped in the atmosphere than claimed by the UN.
"The satellite observations suggest there is much more energy lost to space during and after warming than the climate models show," study co-author Dr. Roy Spencer said on July 26 in a press release from the University of Alabama, where he is a research scientist and U.S. Science Team Leader for the radiometer attached to the Aqua satellite. "There is a huge discrepancy between the data and the forecasts that is especially big over the oceans."

The NASA satellite data show the atmosphere radiating heat into space long before the UN models predicted this would occur.
A Forbes magazine article dealing with this new data (link below) notes that the primary issue in contention about global warming is whether carbon dioxide emissions will indirectly trap more heat and thus care increased humidity and cirrus clouds, both of which trap considerable heat.
The satellite data does not support humidity and cirrus cloud levels that were used for predictions in the UN computer models.
NASA’s ERBS satellite demonstrated that more longwave radiation (heat) escaped into space between 1985 and 1999 than computer models predicted.
Simply, much more heat is escaping into space than was predicted in the global warming models of IPCC 2007.
