New NASA Data Casts Doubt On Global Warming Models 954

bonch writes "Satellite data from NASA covering 2000 through 2011 cast doubt on current computer models predicting global warming, according to a new study. The data shows that much less heat is retained by carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere than is assumed in current models. 'There is a huge discrepancy between the data and the forecasts that is especially big over the oceans,' said Dr. Roy Spencer, a co-author of the study and research scientist at the University of Alabama." Note: the press release about the study is somewhat less over the top.

It is true that once you measure that photon, you only extract the one bit of information, but if you were to send this photon into a quantum computer, you could do all sorts of analysis on it first. So in some sense the information is there, it's just not extractable.

Also, see the 1966 short story by Bob Shaw that anticipated this:
