Subsequently, a Finnish paper (that has yet to be accepted for publication) asserted that humans accounted for at most 10% of any warming. In July 2019 Prof. Hyodo of Kyoto University and his team of investigators reported in a top scholarly peer-reviewed journal (Nature) that AGW accounted for very little of any recent warming. They instead suggested that the \"cloud umbrella effect\" was the major contributor of any increase in temperature. Next, in August of 2019, a paper by Prof. Wu of China's National Academy of Science and her team was accepted for publication in an important peer-reviewed journal and this research found no evidence of any human-induced warming. Their research confirmed the findings of an earlier 2014 scholarly paper. Then in September of 2019, a letter signed by over 700 climate experts was delivered to the UN Secretary-General insisting that \"NO CLIMATE EMERGENCY EXISTS\" (emphasis in the original). Interestingly, this letter came to life in Italy and most of the signatories are from Europe. Couple this with the 145 US \"deniers\" and the size of the entire group becomes very compelling. In an October paper published in the scientific journal, \"Geology\", it was reported that climate change and ocean acidification has occurred before the appearance of hominoids on our planet. Lastly, in November, five papers from the Federal University of Sao Paolo which confirmed the veracity of this other research came to light.<br><br>Based upon these very latest scientific findings the case for the claim of AGW is starting to crumble before your eyes. <br><br>LINKS<br><br>For those who require links here are several:<br><br>https://www.scmp.com/.../china-scientists-warn-global...<br><br>https://www.pnas.org/content/116/51/25369<br><br>https://www.youtube.com/watch...<br><br>https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/.../2019PA003691<br>https://www.sciencedaily.com/rel.../2019/07/190703121407.htm<br><br>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4205841/<br><br>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4215299/<br><br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIDoMPIikog<br><br>https://phys.org/.../2019-12-cooling-role-particulate...<br><br>https://www.autoblog.com/.../climate-change-policies.../<br><br>\u201cCalcium isotope evidence for environmental variability before and across the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction\u201d by Benjamin J.
