UN Climatologist: Global Warming
Caused By ‘Natural Variations’ in

last hundred years or so is well within the
natural variability of the last 8,000 years,
according to a new paper by a former
Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change

Dr. Philip Lloyd, a South Africa-based physicist
and climate researcher, examined ice
core-based temperature data going back
8,000 years to gain perspective on the magnitude of global temperature changes over the
20th Century.
What Lloyd found was that the standard deviation of the temperature over the last 8,000 years
What Lloyd found was that the standard deviation of the temperature over the last 8,000 years
was about 0.98 degrees Celsius– higher than the 0.85 degrees climate scientists say the
world has warmed over the last century.
“This suggests that while some portion of the temperature change observed in the 20th
“This suggests that while some portion of the temperature change observed in the 20th
century was probably caused by greenhouse gases, there is a strong likelihood that the
major portion was due to natural variations,” Lloyd wrote in his study. Source: The Daily
