I am well aware of the arguments....but sceptical. Right now the scientists are puzzled because Co2 is continuing to rise, witness the Mona Kea graph, but temps have been flat for 18 years.

 

 

They could conclude their models, which are simply best estimates of thousands of interactions, are too radical. Or they could look for another cause.....they looked for another cause. Supposedly heat is now "hiding" in the deep oceans.

 

My own guess, is that we are in a naturally warming period after the little ice age. The rise in CO2 levels probably accelerates this a bit.....but not much given the modest rise in temps for a big CO2 gain.

 

So I believe there are offsets.....diminishing temp increases with additional CO2, water vapor effects and rain forest effects.  The net is a moderate CO2 effect at worst , certainly no more potent than the increasing solar effect.

 

Take the period since 1880 with  constant CO2 rises. Temps fell for 25 years, rose at the same rate for 35 years (solar activity was exploding), fell for 40 years, rose for 20 years and then went flat for 18 years. All of these movements without one year where CO2 levels went down.

 

 

There are other variables at play.....look to the lagged effect of sun activity. But in any case it's obvious CO2 is not an accurate causal variable.

 

Unfortunately with huge goverment support funding global warming awareness there is no chance of a truly objective assessment. If this was a court case it would have to be moved to another court to get a fair trial.

I wasn't going to answer anymore in this thread but this is too much,...  too much...... who the f*ck do you think you are?

"My own guess, is that we are in a naturally warming period after the little ice age... "

The scientific community is virtually unanimous on what the data demonstrate about anthropogenic global warming.
Naomi Oreskes surveyed all peer-reviewed papers on climate change published between 1993 and 2003 in the world’s leading scientific journal, Science, she found that there were 980 supporting the idea of human-induced global warming and none opposing it.
In 2009, Doran and Kendall Zimmerman surveyed all the climate scientists who were familiar with the data. They found that 95–99% agreed that global warming is real and that humans are the reason.
In 2010, the prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences published a study that showed that 98% of the scientists who actually do research in climate change are in agreement with anthropogenic global warming.
Every major scientific organization in the world has endorsed the conclusion of anthropogenic climate change as well.
This is a rare degree of agreement, this is the same degree of scientific consensus that scientists have achieved over most major ideas, including gravity, evolution, and relativity. These and only a few other topics in science can claim this degree of agreement among nearly all the world’s leading scientists.

All these scientists are trully experts on their working areas, they have studied and work for years in their subjects related to the climate but here comes the great Mozart, who doesn't know his elbow from his ass, and dare to launch his own theory,...... how insolent is the ignorance

According to Dr. Pothero who is Professor of Geology at Occidental College in Los Angeles, and Lecturer in Geobiology at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. He earned M.A., M.Phil., and Ph.D. degrees in geological sciences from Columbia University in 1982, and a B.A. in geology and biology from the University of California, Riverside. He is currently the author, co-author, editor, or co-editor of 32 books and over 250 scientific papers,

"Geologists and paleoclimatologists know a lot about past greenhouse worlds, and the icehouse planet that has existed for the past 33 million years. We have a good understanding of how and why the Antarctic ice sheet first appeared at that time, and how the Arctic froze over about 3.5 million years ago, beginning the 24 glacial and interglacial episodes of the “Ice Ages” that have occurred since then. We know how variations in the earth’s orbit (the Milankovitch cycles) controls the amount of solar radiation the earth receives, triggering the shifts between glacial and interglacial periods. Our current warm interglacial has already lasted 10,000 years, the duration of most previous interglacials, so if it were not for global warming, we would be headed into the next glacial in the next 1000 years or so. "

But who is this doctor to contradict the super-scientific theory of the great Mozart? we are in a naturally warming period, no doubt about it, the great Mozart has sentenced having never read a book about geology or climate, having never ever read and manage any data collection about it,..... the great Mozart who begins this thread saying that the global warming doesn't exist because in NYC it's very cold and end up launching the theory that there is a global warming. What has happened with NYC? sudenly the ice thawed and all the new yorkers are on the beach or what?

I've never seen such level of self-importance and stupidity together before. You can't be more ridiculous

After years of dealing with complex formulate he allways recommends checking the credibility of sources.

Just more of the same, tired old stuff. Do you honestly think in the absence of man made carbon releases the temperature would stay flat? It has never stayed flat. And after a little ice age recently temps are naturally going up....do you get it plank.
Now on top of that, on top of increase in solar activity we have man made CO2 ...all contributing to 1.2 degrees over a 115 years.
Now what experience do you have in modeling?  I have a PhD from a top US university. My minor was in mathematical modeling. I have built econometric models, which are similar to climate models in that the equations have to be empirically derived, both in academia and in real world consulting. Companies paid money for these models.
So when I tell you these models are so complex they can plausibly made to say anything...I know whereof I speak. And the only way to verify you have made the literally thousands of decisions well....is if the models can be made to replicate reality.

These climate models are universally over predicting temps. The Economist, a big Global Warming proponent wrote a lead article pointing this out.
You are viewing this subject from the perspective of an ill educated, uninformed sheep.

Why then cant you produce a model that proves that many of the leading scientific minds in the world are wrong? 
Or at the very least a model to prove the other models are wrong, or that your model is a closer approximation to reality than what others are. 
Just because some of the models these scientists have created are not 100% conclusive, does not mean they are wrong. They are separate individuals creating models to try reflect reality. The accepted consensus of these models are the closest thing we have to reality, until reliably proven otherwise. 
It is on this basis that the UN has been able to improve the ozone layer. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-29152028

Perhaps the models you created are just a pile of crap. A sleezy sales person trying to rip of companies by only feeding the models with select information. An abomination to science. You were probably involved in the "waste" division. Crap in, Crap out. "So when I tell you these models are so complex they can plausibly made to say anything...I know whereof I speak."

Well a simple linear regression on the first 50 years of the 20th century done in 1950 would give you a more accurate result for 2015 than all the climate models produced in 1995. Look at the chart and draw a straight line from 1900 through 1950... It's spot on

Building a climate model is a hugely expensive, slow process....and you want me to build one for the Board? Are you for real. Besides which I don't have the specific training to build the model....I do  however, know it can only be validated by reproducing results.

Sadly so far a simple linear regression beats the pants off the climate models in terms of prediction.

That's the point Sharkbok - they didn't think of it. Instead their scientific observations and incredible genius led them to projections, all of which have been wrong.  40 years ago they were calling for the next ice age. Can't call it climate science. Its more of a religion. Temple is the UN, the holy writ is the UN report on climate change and the high priest is Al Gore.

Matey the warming vs cooling thing is well recorded in Lungren's book "Cool It". He demonstrates that mankind has always suffered and declined in vigour in the periods of cold temps and expanded when the weather is warm.
It's an interesting question to ask. Would we be better5 degrees cooler or 5 degrees warmer....but the answer is obvious. Hell 100 miles off the surface everything is so cold we would insta freeze and the whole world is wringing their hands about1.2 degrees.

If man made global warming is real it will probably be good thing.....sadly we can't count on it.

Agreed.
Conservation is a noble and worthy thing - we have limited resources and will never have another rock to hop onto - but global warming "science" seems to me to be more of a way to push an agenda of control than anything else. You can have one without bowing to the other. The amount of waste here in this country is absurd.

I was involved in one "heavy industry" and we cleaned up a lot of stuff from the past. My sense is, in spite of the lawyers, American industry has done a good job in the last 15 years and cut pollution substantially. The real issue now is China, but most of the bleeding hearts are still stuck on the States. China is pushing out 50% more carbon thatn the US is today....and a lot more of the other reall y bad stuff.

Industry has come a long way, but they needed a kick in the pants to do it and many were dragged kicking and screaming. Its ironic to see some of this come full circle though as the greenies are clamoring for nuclear energy as a "clean" source of energy but its next to impossible logistically and financially to build new plants because of the amount of regulation that is in place now.
My comment about "waste" though was more in reference to personal waste. I have friends that own these huge trucks that will never carry a load or tow a trailer but they are used as their daily drivers. Christmas is unbridled materialism, most people seem to eat out 2 or 3 times a week. Everything is on credit - little to no savings
Completely different from the values I learnt growing up in SA and honestly I find myself getting sucked into it and comprimising. Even with my kids, who are anything but typical American kids, I see them taking things for granted and expecting things.
The downfall of this great country (and I think it is great all things considered) will be economic. If the recent recession had been allowed to run its course without government interference it would have cured a lot of ills.
Sorry for the rant

 Keep going Moz you are winning trhe argument.
When I first started the "debate" about evolution there were howls from all the gullible. But I kept posting scientific evidence and the opinions of scientists inlcuing many noble laureats and the greatest scientists who ever lived and slowly these oaks lost confidence and realised they were beat.
Their stubborness though was an eye opener. Their inability to answer the facts presented was there for all to see. All they could do is insult and rants which made them look even sillier if possible.  
All this once again shows that there are very gullible people who are easy to lead by the nose. Its frightening to think the media can tell these types virtually anything and they will suck it up like sponges. BwahahhahahahahahahaThe evidence of outright persecution of dissenting academics is there for all to see but the tide has turned dramatically due to the evidence being unearthed.
Oimatey dont be too dismayed the USA is still very strong and shale oil is a game changer. USA of course needs revival.

Ok, so I searched in Google for     Lungren's book "Cool It". 
This is the SERP (search engine results page).The whole page- i.e.- 10 results are all about al Dolph Lungren???
This is the guy that acted in Rocky as Drago and He-man.
Is he now writing books on the environment after saving the universe from Skeletor???  (Hell these cartoons were great as a 7 year old kid).
Their is only one well known Lungren, its the actor....
Now it seems that after just searching for the name of the Book on Amazon, without the author name- their is someone else who has written a book about the environment- He is called Bjorn Lombborg. This is his book on Amazon


Well folks, do these names sound anything alike? 

Lombborg  vs Lungren 
It does raise questions if Mozart has even read this book. What is most baffling is of all the people he could confuse the correct author with, it was Dolph?
Funny stuff. HE-MAN, HE-MAN!!! The Masters of the Universe!
Lungren's "Real Book" - Another Data Ppint
He discussed how man has allway suffered at the hands of the evil Skeletor.

Hmmmm . . . calling the other side names or ridiculing them, Oimatey? You mean a bit like this chap . . .

"There are the usual pathetic arguments that in fact the cold is due to global warming"

"This Basque couldn't even read a rain forest article without getting confused....a real granola type."

". . . but this fool is relying on his little Al Gore picture. Dumb and opinionated."

"You really don't have a clue do you?"

"The more the facts don't conform to their crack pot theories, the less tolerant they get."

"And these guys are raving warmers....enjoy your crow!"

"You lost this one, unless you can prove the warmers at wwwclimate.gov are lying. Lie down old chap. But if you are nice I'll give you the counter arguments."

"Just more of the same, tired old stuff."

"You are viewing this subject from the perspective of an ill educated, uninformed sheep."

"haha you are tonic Basque. A living, walking, talking example of what happens when kids are schooled by the granola set. A completely unproductive thinker, who is frozen by perceived grievances....let me guess you are a teacher yourself."


Is that the kind of name-calling and ridicule you're referring to, Oimatey?

If so, please explain why you turn a blind eye to it when Moffie does it yet you jump all over ABasque and take him to task for doing the same thing. Looks like double standards to me but go ahead and explain the difference to me. Thanks.

PS Just to be clear, please note that in this particular case, I'm not so interested in the global warming debate itself as I am in the double standards you seem to be applying here.

PPS Also note that the quotes I put up above were only a selection from this particular thread. If you want more examples of Moffie calling people names and ridiculing them on the global warming debates then just ask . . . or even easier, find them yourself on any of these global warming threads.

If on the other hand the name is spelled Lundberg and you pronounce it as "Lunberg" that is a silent "d".

Basque. Of course one high temperature or low temperature is not definitive. But it is of interest. Why?
Well temperature follows a normal distribution, slightly skewed to the right . And the contention of the warmers is, because of Co2, we have shifted to a new normal distribution with a higher mean. Which means the tail of the distribution also moves higher. So we should be seeing less all time lows. If temps shifted 5 degrees you would likely see no new all time lows.

So if we see a tail of the distribution give a reading which is 5 degrees lower than ever before it raises the question whether we are on a new normal distribution with a lower mean.....and certainly raises the question as to whether we can possibly be on a new normal distribution with a higher mean.

These highly aberrant readings occur, but with very, very low frequency. So when we see lots of new all time lows in 2014 and 2015.... The odds they have occurred randomly are almost zero.

Now I don't believe we are a new distribution with a lower mean, and I don't believe in lightning striking thrice. So what's afoot? Well we are on a new distribution for winter in the NH infuenced by Pacific patterns. But these have occurred in the past, so we shouldn't just write off these aberrant temps so quickly.

There is a great deal of background noise, but as long as we see new record lows of roughly the same increment as the record highs.....we have probably not hopped onto a new probability distribution.
