We're Screwed: 11,000 Years' Worth of Climate Data Prove It

And Fogger would say, its a conspiracy, NASA photoshopped the xray!



Show me an empirical link between X-rays and fractures.

No one has done the research dissecting every X-ray to see if a real fracture exists. It's just a theory. Besides, I know a blog that proves X-rays can't penetrate more than six centimeters of tissue.

It's a theory the medical field buys into because- guess what- they make money with every X-ray! Their incomes depend upon it!!
 
arguing with you is like arguing with someone who believes an x ray does not show a broken bone, no matter what evidence is presented.

I'm not arguing with you I'm asking that you affirm your position using published literature

On a number of issues I have reviewed my position in the light of new evidence

But you havent provided any 'new' evidence. Indeed all you have provided thus far are personal opinions ,assertions and snide remarks

You however are clearly incapable of doing so on this issue, and I suspect on a number of other issues.

I'm prepared to do so if such evidence actually existed and was presented here

Perhaps such intransigence is reflective of some personal investment in the outcome, or perhaps it is because you cannot stand to be wrong, even when new information suggests a rational person would change their mind

Once again what is this 'new information' you are referring to ?

Flogger-logic in a nutshell!
 
 


I would be amazed that someone who has access to the internet needs to ask this question, however I do know that there are a lot of reasons why some people are incapable of taking on board new information.

my grandmother used to shout over the phone on the rare occasions she needed to use one. She just couldn't accept that she didn't need to shout so that the person on the other end of the line could hear her.

She went to her grave with her beliefs about telecommunications.

I suspect your beliefs about climate change will be just as enduring for you...
 

This is not a Peer reviewed study. Apologies perhaps I should have been more specific in my request of you. I need the formula that confirms the impact of 20,50 or even 1000 extra PPM of CO 2 on temperature . This is what would constitute empirical proof and could thus then theoretically be legislated for. Obviously if we do not know this formula then whats the point of all this ?

that statement would only come from someone who subscribes to the AGW as a conspiracy theory line

Or somebody who has discovered that the emperor has no clothes

so what do you think, flogger?

I'd made that plain I thought . Climate modelling is a crock and here is why

http://c3headlines.typepad.com/.a/6a010536b58035970c0120a5c9415b970b-pi

Given this entire hypothesis relies on the accuracy of these its not hard to understand why skepticism thrives today

I can see that you are not familiar with standards in scholarly research

I'm a skeptic because I've read the science not in spite of it . I wasnt always one

What new information .... again ! :roll:

.
 

... your beliefs are too closely aligned with conspiracy theory for that to be true
 
... your beliefs are too closely aligned with conspiracy theory for that to be true

Clearly I'm wasting my patience on yet another timewaster that when challenged chooses to protect thier faith by hiding behind ad hominem and smears. We have enough of those here already .Up until now I had actually credited you with a little more integrity than that

I was obviously mistaken :bolt
 
What new information .... again ! :roll:

.

How about the new peer reviewed information in the OP, or all the other peer reviewed studies I posted that you've denied.
 

Or perhaps, like so many others on this forum, I am becoming bored with denialists repeating the same mantra over and over, despite the evidence.
 
How about the new peer reviewed information in the OP, or all the other peer reviewed studies I posted that you've denied.

Eh ? What ones would those be then because to date its clear you wouldnt know what one of those looked like if you fell over it !

As ever just provide the one clearly demonstrating empirical proof of human culpability for temperature increases ? Should be Easy peasy for you really given your assertion that such studies exist in great numbers.

I wont hold my breath :lamo
 
This doesn't bode well.

I think maybe it's time to kiss our asses goodbye.

The good news: We probably don't double in population again.

I provided you empirical evidence from NASA and you reverted back to your conspiracy theories. There is nothing that anyone can provide to convince a denier that believes all the worlds scientific organizations are in conspiracy together.

Empirical evidence of AGW:

NASA: "Climate forcing by CO2 is the largest forcing, but it does not dwarf the others. Forcing by CH4 (0.7 W/m2) is half as large as that of CO2 and the total forcing by non-CO2 GHGs (1.4 W/m2) equals that of CO2. Moreover, in comparing forcings due to different activities, note that the fossil fuels producing most of the CO2 are also the main source of atmospheric aerosols, especially sulfates, black carbon, and organic aerosols."

http://www.giss.nasa.gov/research/features/200111_altscenario/


NOAA: "How can we distinguish between the different sources and sinks of carbon dioxide? Carbon dioxide, or CO2, contains the key piece of information within the carbon atoms themselves. Although it may seem that a carbon atom is just the same as every other carbon atom out there (perhaps they appear to all be clones of each other–where each looks and acts exactly the same), this is not the case.

In fact there are three isotopes of carbon atoms - all three react the same way in chemical reactions–the only chemical difference between them is that they have slightly different masses. The heaviest is carbon-14 (which, in the scientific world, is written as 14C), followed by carbon-13 (13C), and the lightest, most common carbon-12 (12C). Different carbon reservoirs “like” different isotopes, so the relative proportion of the three isotopes is different in each reservoir - each has its own, identifying, isotopic fingerprint. By examining the isotopic mixture in the atmosphere, and knowing the isotopic fingerprint of each reservoir, atmospheric scientists can determine how much carbon dioxide is coming and going from each reservoir, making isotopes an ideal tracer of sources and sinks of carbon dioxide.

As an example of these isotopic fingerprints, and how they can help scientists, consider this: fossil fuels do not contain 14C. By studying how the concentration of 14C has changed in the atmosphere, scientists have determined that the atmospheric increase in carbon dioxide is dominated by fossil fuel emissions. While terrestrial plants “dislike” 13C, ocean exchange does not prefer 12C or 13C. This creates a difference in the relative ratio of terrestrial versus oceanic uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide isotopes."

Murphy 2009 - "About 20% of the integrated positive forcing by greenhouse gases and solar radiation since 1950 has been radiated to space. Only about 10% of the positive forcing (about 1/3 of the net forcing) has gone into heating the Earth, almost all into the oceans. About 20% of the positive forcing has been balanced by volcanic aerosols, and the remaining 50% is mainly attributable to tropospheric aerosols."

Harris 2001 - "Here we analyse the difference between the spectra of the outgoing longwave radiation of the Earth as measured by orbiting spacecraft in 1970 and 1997. We find differences in the spectra that point to long-term changes in atmospheric CH4, CO2 and O3 as well as CFC-11 and CFC-12. Our results provide direct experimental evidence for a significant increase in the Earth's greenhouse effect that is consistent with concerns over radiative forcing of climate."

Evans 2006 - "The earth's climate system is warmed by 35 C due to the emission of downward infrared radiation by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (surface radiative forcing) or by the absorption of upward infrared radiation (radiative trapping). Increases in this emission/absorption are the driving force behind global warming. Climate models predict that the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere has altered the radiative energy balance at the earth's surface by several percent by increasing the greenhouse radiation from the atmosphere. With measurements at high spectral resolution, this increase can be quantitatively attributed to each of several anthropogenic gases. Radiance spectra of the greenhouse radiation from the atmosphere have been measured at ground level from several Canadian sites using FTIR spectroscopy at high resolution. The forcing radiative fluxes from CFC11, CFC12, CCl4, HNO3, O3, N2O, CH4, CO and CO2 have been quantitatively determined over a range of seasons. The contributions from stratospheric ozone and tropospheric ozone are separated by our measurement techniques. A comparison between our measurements of surface forcing emission and measurements of radiative trapping absorption from the IMG satellite instrument shows reasonable agreement. The experimental fluxes are simulated well by the FASCOD3 radiation code. This code has been used to calculate the model predicted increase in surface radiative forcing since 1850 to be 2.55 W/m2. In comparison, an ensemble summary of our measurements indicates that an energy flux imbalance of 3.5 W/m2 has been created by anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases since 1850. This experimental data should effectively end the argument by skeptics that no experimental evidence exists for the connection between greenhouse gas increases in the atmosphere and global warming."

Wang 2009 - "[1] In this article, we first evaluate two widely accepted methods to estimate global atmospheric downward longwave radiation (Ld) under both clear and cloudy conditions, using meteorological observations from 1996 to 2007 at 36 globally distributed sites, operated by the Surface Radiation Budget Network (SURFRAD), AmeriFlux, and AsiaFlux Projects. The breakdown of locations is North America (20 sites), Asia (12 sites), Australia (2 sites), Africa (1 site), and Europe (1 site). Latitudes for these sites range from 0° at the equator to ±50°; elevation ranges from 98 to 4700 m, and six different land cover types are represented (deserts, semideserts, croplands, grasslands, forests, and wetlands). The evaluation shows that the instantaneous Ld under all-sky conditions is estimated with an average bias of 2 W m−2 (0.6%), an average standard deviation (SD) of 20 W m−2 (6%), and an average correlation coefficient (R) of 0.86. Daily Ld under all-sky conditions is estimated with a SD of 12 W m−2 (3.7%) and an average R of 0.93. These results suggest that these two methods could be applied to most of the Earth's land surfaces. Accordingly, we applied them to globally available meteorological observations to estimate decadal variation in Ld. The decadal variations in global Ld under both clear and cloudy conditions at about 3200 stations from 1973 to 2008 are presented. We found that daily Ld increased at an average rate of 2.2 W m−2 per decade from 1973 to 2008. The rising trend results from increases in air temperature, atmospheric water vapor, and CO2 concentration."

Given Bob Honeycutt is actually a non academic packaging manufacturer ,why is it we should be caring about his opinion on anything to do with any scientific discipline whatsoever much less climate change ?

No you provided a temperature construct flushed through a GISS climate model. Wheres the Peer review empirically affirming human culpability for temperature increases ?

When I grew up the weather forecasts were different. It was it would either rain tomorrow or it won't. None of this 30% or 50% chance. It did seem they were usually right on.

Yeah, it's all made up. A liberal conspiracy designed to undermine conservative values. It's all part of Algore's plan to grab your guns burn your bibles. :roll:

Some will argue correlation is not causation. But, we all know that those people who long ago buried their heads in the sand will never pop up to take a good close look. They are beyond reach.
