I explained some of the many reasons why global warming should be obvious bullshit to any real scientist. 1) The Chemistry of equilibrium said we didn't put the CO2 there. 2) "Correlation proves causation" is a fallacy. 3) Appeal to consensus is a fallacy. 4) Appeal to authority is a fallacy. 5) There is a stronger correlation to solar cycle, and there is NO WAY CO2 can be a cause of solar cycle. It MUST be an effect to a common cause. 6) Svensmark proved the common cause in two famous papers. His hypothesis predicted, and was consistent with the last 4.5 BILLION years of climate data. Those were just some of the points I hit on. Posers pretending to be scientist like yourself only come back with stupid snide remarks, while running away from the scientific issues. When faced with the smoking gun proving it was all a fraud, all you can do is cast some insults to defend this stupid lie.

Quite aside from the changes in the ocean, we know there are major changes in the storm tracks and teleconnections with ENSO, and there is a LOT more rain on land during La Nina (more drought in El Nino), so how does the albedo change overall (changes in cloud)? At the very least the extra rain on land means a lot more heat goes into evaporation rather than raising temperatures, and so that keeps land temps down: and should generate cloud. But the resulting evaporative cooling means the heat goes into atmosphere and should be radiated to space: so we should be able to track it with CERES data. The CERES data are unfortunately wonting and so too are the cloud data. The ocean data are also lacking although some of that may be related to the ocean current changes and burying heat at depth where it is not picked up. If it is sequestered at depth then it comes back to haunt us later and so we should know about it. Kevin 1255550975.txt 14 Oct 2009 Tom Wigley: Kevin, I didn't mean to offend you.

What does the real science say, Bernd? I take it you hadn't heard--Recent changes in a remote Arctic lake are unique within the past 200,000 years. http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2009/10/16/0907094106 Yarrow Axforda,1, Jason P. Brinerb, Colin A. Cookec, Donna R. Francisd, Neal Micheluttie, Gifford H. Millera,f, John P. Smole, Elizabeth K. Thomasb, Cheryl R. Wilsone and Alexander P. Wolfec Abstract The Arctic is currently undergoing dramatic environmental transformations, but it remains largely unknown how these changes compare with long-term natural variability. Here we present a lake sediment sequence from the Canadian Arctic that records warm periods of the past 200,000 years, including the 20th century. This record provides a perspective on recent changes in the Arctic and predates by approximately 80,000 years the oldest stratigraphically intact ice core recovered from the Greenland Ice Sheet. The early Holocene and the warmest part of the Last Interglacial (Marine Isotope Stage or MIS 5e) were the only periods of the past 200,000 years with summer temperatures comparable to or exceeding today's at this site. Paleoecological and geochemical data indicate that the past three interglacial periods were characterized by similar trajectories in temperature, lake biology, and lakewater pH, all of which tracked orbitally-driven solar insolation. In recent decades, however, the study site has deviated from this recurring natural pattern and has entered an environmental regime that is unique within the past 200 millennia. Arctic Sediments Show That 20th Century Warming Is Unlike Natural Variation http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/10/091023163513.htm "There are periods of time reflected in this sediment core that demonstrate that the climate was as warm as today," said Briner, "but that was due to natural causes, having to do with well-understood patterns of the Earth's orbit around the sun. The whole ecosystem has now shifted and the ecosystem we see during just the last few decades is different from those seen during any of the past warm intervals."

And it has been known a long time that of those, only H2O has any significant greenhouse potential. The others add trivial amounts of warming. It's like saying that because Sodium is paramagnetic, it clings to a common electromagnet. No. This is non-science. Physics deals with numbers. Frauds deal in lies, distortions and half truths. > You really ought to start taking global climate change seriously, > Marvin.

Gibberish. The latter is one big "appeal to effects" fallacy based on a lie. |
