Yeah, Marvin, just like the memo that the Ice age is over or the one
that the USSR crashed and burned, Wormley is still laughably working
hard at the old story of global warming!

Wormley is an incompetent idiot, so he's no serious worry, but now, with
AGW thrown under the bus, the threat will switch to more real problems
like blatant destruction of natural resources of all kinds. And this is
truly dangerous as the plan is to put the same people who destroyed them
in charge of fixing the problem! It's like putting the fox in charge of
investigating the disappearance of chickens.

The GISS and harcut graphs had a trend of "flat", and that is with the
58% of bad data sites that should show UHI.

Jones admits there's no warming over the last 15 years.

Only you claim that global warming is accelerating.

You want it to be? Because you surely need to learn how greenhouse
gasses work and why human activity is causing rapid warming of
the planet.

Marvin, you claim education in science and engineering, yet you
you are really seriously fooling yourself when it comes to
climate science. The warming of the earth (the sum of oceans,
ice, land, and atmosphere) continue to warm and will do so as
long as there is the current imbalance in radiation. This is an
*observable*. The cause is primarily greenhouse gasses, although
deforestation and cement production are definitely contributing
factors.

As we found out, I understand the "greenhouse gas" effect far, far better
than you. You can pretend otherwise, but making statements about how the
sun warms the atmosphere which warms the ocean reveals your ignorance.

And Wormley is so ignorant he can't even view a graph that shows
temperature has been level for the last 12 years.

Would you please "educate" us all again on how when CO2 levels rise
dramatically and rapidly, and temperature stays constant, it "proves"
that CO2 causes "anthropogenic global warming"?

Marvin and I REALLY need an "education" on that one.

And that is exactly the problem, isn't it. When those interested more in
fraud and political power and greed place themselves in charge of the
solution to even REAL problems, it always seems to end up with reality
twisted and real problems ignored while fake ones are pursued.

So now the IPCC and all the alamists are asking everyone to let them
solve some real problems now that the last ones they attempted to
"solve" were proved fake. After "climategate" I and II what can we
expect next? Speciesgate? Does a leopard change it's spots?

All you say is obviously correct. They have limitless money, they have
the major media in their pockets, they have governments in their pockets
and they can "hire" any expert willing to sell out for a fist full of
dollars to spin any clever lie for them. However, the bottom line still
remains. Honest people are many and they are few.

All that is needed is for the honest people to wake up and discover how
they are being robbed. And this is where the pen (keyboard) becomes
mightier than the sword.

True enough. I recall one dam project being stopped over some tiny fish.
Seemed that this on river was their only habitat. The truth, though, was
that this fish existed in a number of different rivers, but this
"species" had a green tint rather than a blue tint (or was it the other
way around) thus it had to be protected. It wasn't a REAL separate
species. If that is their standard for species, than we have a whole mess
of human species!

And they will use that canard to depopulate a large area of the United
States.

But, unlike climate change, which occurs naturally and they were lying
about it being man made, there really are idiots in China, India and
Africa who threaten to exterminate entire species.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions because the cab driver

Bullshit. The ice core data proved that CO2 lagged temperature by 800
years.

God damnit, worm. We did this one before. The rebuttal went WAY over you
head or you thought I forgot this paper. You're fucking wasting my time.

The paper says that their models only allowed for TWO causes of warming -
CO2 and solar variation - they started OUT with a black and white
fallacy. Cosmic rays and Milcovich cycles and all kinds of other possible
causes were left out.

Then they ruled out solar variation because the physics wasn't there.
Then, ignoring the contrary evidence of the ice core data and the fact
that there was no physics to explain how CO2 did the warming, they
concluded CO2 must have done it.

It is pure crap science.

Now, get off the soap box and go to sci.biology. Your masters realize how
stupid this AGW thing is, and they've demoted AGW from world ending
disaster to minor annoyance. You're supposed to be talking snail darters
and all that now. At least the new propaganda has some truth to it
instead of being a total line of bullshit that AGW is.

Sam, who has a problem confusing T with dT/dt, is now saying d^2 T/dt^2

Post 9/11 that kind of talk is bs, as we have already sacrificed our

no you dont have any high ground in that argument. The red scare is
last centuries news, the old leaders of the old soviet union have
become the elite in that country, still manipulating the people as
before (putin is a great example).

The U.S. government is based on the premise of compromise, and to
assert that compromise ultimately means you are giving up freedom is
completely illogical, for our country became a world leader with by
two parties agreeing on certain issues, and working through the
disagreements on others. On the other hand the recent extreme right
wing movement in this county does not want to comprimise with the
left, and now they are going to pay the price in the poll booth.

I doubt it, Ben. A professional physicist wouldn't cite eight year old
pre-Argo papers on sea levels when much more modern and reliable
research is available. At least, I bloody well hope they wouldn't. If
that's normal behaviour for physicists, science is more fucked than I
imagined.

Well that's a wonderful advertisement for the premise of laying back and
enjoying the rape by those in power, but many of us know how they work.
They employ what is called Hegelian Dialectic.

In this method one decides what change one wishes to accomplish. And
then you create a false debate over the issue. You create, fund, and
support BOTH sides in the argument. One called "thesis" and the other
called "antithesis". Pro-gun, anti-gun; AGW, Deniers; Left wing, Right
wing; etc. And then through that fake "debate" one slowly works toward a
fake "compromise" that is EXACTLY the change one wanted to effect in the
first place! And that is termed "synthesis".

The bottom line being "compromise" is simply sold as an excuse to give
away what you already own. If you compromise with lies, you have already
lost it all. So if one has no morality or ethics, just how difficult do
you suppose it is to create a mass shooting, explode a building
(demolition) or crash some aircraft into one so that people like you
begin screaming for "compromise". Obviously if you choose to give away
all you own, including all the rights God gave you, you can do that. But
you then must lie in the bed you made. The problems is when you begin to
take the rest of us with you.

The founding fathers did not unanimously agree on the constitution
without compromising, so your argument is not logical, and not
supported by the facts. In the time past since the constitution
written, our legislative and executive leaders have compromised or
accepted judgment the Supreme Court, with one exception the civil
war. I would hope people like you don't want to repeat mistake of a
civil war, a huge scar in our nation’s history. Just like the times
of the past, we make value judgments on how to use a scarce amount of
resources in an attempt to resolve issues based on the best available
information. The manner about which we choose to resolve those
issues, and sometimes what we consider the goal to be, may be in
dispute, but this country is strong because we are a diverse group
comprising a union of states. The act of compromise is not the goal,
but is necessary in such a union, and requires more work than making a
political stand simply on principles alone. The act of compromise
requires an honest attempt to understand differing views, so as to
best be able to arrive a mutually agreed upon decision that will have
the least amount of chances to fail, and best chances to improve our
country. The fake argument put forth by people like is meant to
polarize the political spectrum, making compromise harder to achieve,
simply based on the principle of a fake patriotism. People like you
use the term "freedom", in attempt to wrap yourselves in the flag, but
you seem to forget the flag represents a union of states that was
formed through compromise. So you have no point, other than to show
how easy it is to “poison the well” attempting to make comprise harder
to achieve.

Data from about 1 million ocean temperature profiles show that the
ocean has been taking up heat at a rate of 0.6 W/m2 (averaged over
the full surface of the Earth) for the period 1993–2003.

Ref: http://www.geo.utexas.edu/courses/387h/PAPERS/willis_jgr_04.pdf

The energy imbalance is 0.6 W/m^2, therefore, the earth is warming
and each year is warmer than the last. The trick is to add up all
the warming of the oceans, land, seafloor, ice and atmosphere.

The earth in 2012 will be warmer that the earth in 2011. What part
of this basic physics are you not getting, Ben?

It is hard to underrate a physicist who rarely discusses the physics,
when he does do the physics he can't do Newton's law (his balloon is a
perpetual motion machine thread), and doesn't even know how the
"greenhouse gas effect works" (his claim that the air heats the surface,
not the surface heats the air).

That's funny that they claim that the Russian Academy of Science claims
that AGW is "settled science". The Russian Academy is saying we're going
into a cold period.

The "Federation of American Scientist" is a far left political propaganda
group that has very little to do with science.

Another appeal to authority + bandwagon fallacy, worm? It is understandble
that a Journalist doesn't know the difference between T and dT/dt but you
claim to be a physicist, and to prove that they are the same you're
quoting a journalist?

It's still wrong, Worm. wrong is wrong.

It seems to be a common thing.

I also once posted an occasional news item to the net. Oftentimes people then
attributed what was clearly newspaper items (with appropriate attributions)
to me.

The only reason I can think of is some people can't accept someone might give airtime to things they don't actually literally believe themselves.

And, I guess, that is one of the signs of monomania & crankery.

That's nice if you're into doing physics by authority... and you believe
Sam to be an authority.

But Wormley's thread on "what's wrong with this picture" where he claims
a child on a skate board blowing up a balloon and using it for propulsion
is perpetual motion proves he doesn't understand even first year lower
division undergrad physics at the general ed physics level.

His claim that the Greenhouse gas theory works by the sun's energy
warming the atmosphere which then warms the surface shows that he doesn't
even understand AGW.

He almost never discusses the physics himself because when he does it
results in shameless debacles like the two I mention, and he doesn't
understand the articles he posts beyond the title. Which is why when I
point out the flaws in the papers he posts he never replies and he keeps
posting them.

Almost every posts he makes is full of logical fallacies. His favorite is
the post hoc fallacy.

To me, an authority doesn't need to mention his credentials, and he is
able to talk the subject and explain the physics without the use of
logical fallacies. I don't care if the guy has a Nobel prize, if he posts
physics blunders and uses many logical fallacies, I'm going to call him
on it.

Marvin, global mean sea level has been rising at an average rate

larger than the rate averaged over the last several thousand years.

> Earth's energy budget is determined by measuring how much energy comes into the Earth system from the sun, how much is lost to space as heat, and accounting for the remainder on Earth. Very little of this Earthbound energy goes into warming the atmosphere and land because they have a limited capacity to store heat. Likewise the energy required to melt ice is comparatively small.
>
> The oceans, however, cover over 70% of the Earth's surface, are dark-coloured (meaning they absorb sunlight readily) and, due to their enormous heat capacity compared to that of the atmosphere and land, store over 90% of the excess energy from global warming. Quite obviously then, accurate measurements of ocean warming are crucial to balancing Earth's energy budget.

Translation of german quote about Russian opinion:

"Global Warming is coming to an end in a few years, according to
scientists from the Russian Academy of Sciences.
.
"The general temperature decrease has already begun, according to
research. After a peak in 2005 the average temperature on earth has
decreased by 0.3 degrees to the level of 1996-1997. According to these
scientists the global temperature will sink further until 2015 by
about 0.15 degrees, which would correspond to the climate of the
1980's."

Which pretty much proves that the RAS is not saying "AGW is settled
science".

As Gliever pointed out in his resignation letter to the AIP, there is no
such thing as "settled science". Even Newtonian mechanics was not
"settled science" and QM and SR highlighted that.

Now folks here have been showing the last decade's temperature charts
which show no warming, and Jones himself said there was no statistically
significant warming, and Wormley is still claiming warming and that it is
ACCELERATING.

Your support of Wormley is basically an appeal to his authority. Sorry,
Authority means he's supposed to address the science and make a sound and
valid argument, and that he has not done. He tells us to believe things
that are flat out not what the data says, he almost never addresses the
science and when he does he goofs it up (the greenhouse effect example
and his "what's wrong with this picture" thread), and when he's caught,
he just pretends it didn't happen.

I feel that he's been dishonest.

Nice a political blog.

Now, why do I not find this chart credible? Because it claims that the
earth is increasing in heat content over the last 15 years, yet the GISS
data shows no temperature increase. The only way for there to be an
increase in heat without a temperature increase is if the earth was
undergoing a phase transition, like solid to liquid or liquid to gas.
Which is just not the case.

So once again I ask, how can temperature be the same while temperature
remains the same?

Look, I'm good with posting from a political website IF they make sound
and valid arguments. This is obviously a bullshit argument meant to
deceive folks with not much of an education in science. That you didn't
even give it a critical thought means that:

1) You hoped to fool people with non-science OR you didn't see the
problem yourself.

2) You don't mind damaging your reputation if you were caught with this.

How does that answer my question about temperature and the increasing
rate of increase that you're claiming?

Why do you change the subject every time I try and discuss the science
with you?

And to address your red-herring; you're making the claim that your own
GISS temperature data doesn't show warming and now you're trying to say
the temperature data is wrong and you are using sea level as a proxy?

Again, a couple of post hoc fallacies and you're referencing an effect
that CANNOT explain the observed warming that happened in the 1980-2000
decades. Further, CO2 has increased while global temperatures have NOT. A
real scientist would say that your hypothesis has failed.

Now Marvin, perhaps the reason is similar to why you don't believe
CO2 traps IR warming the planet, or that Einstein was a major
contributor to the quantum mechanics. There's pattern here.

Your first statement is a straw dog. I have always said CO2 is a
greenhouse gas, I just pointed out that the 13-20 micrometer band is
already SATURATED and more CO2 will not cause more warming, which is
consistent with the data that shows CO2 levels rising and temperature
data remaining steady for the last 15 years.

The second statement is basically true: I did say that since Einstein
objected to the wildly successful theory of Quantum Mechanics, lost his
debate with Bohr about quantum mechanics, and came up with some silly
unphysical "hidden variable" theory as an alternative, that his
contributions were to QM were more negative than positive. The problem
is, I'm right and your only reply seems to be hero worship.

I asked him about his claim that heat was increasing and temperature was

One of his replies of which he seems to have pride for making only

Of course the Ocean does exactly what the Ocean is supposed to do!

But "Quite obviously then, accurate measurements of ocean warming are
crucial to balancing Earth's energy budget." is total Bull Shit!

Well at least Lenny looked at the first word of the first para of the
executive summary.

--
Accentuating the positive:
The Great Plague of London (1664-1666) was an outbreak of bubonic
plague that struck London and was particularly virulent during the hot
months of August and September of 1665. In one week, 7,165 people died
of the plague. The total number of deaths was about 70,000. The
disease was carried by fleas that lived on black rats. It was
generally incurable, and its effects were terrible -- fever and chills,
swelling of the lymph glands, eventual madness and death.
People had no idea what caused the disease or how to control its rapid course.
Victims were buried in large pits. Many people left London.
Among those fleeing was a young Isaac Newton.
The plague and subsequent Great Fire gave him the break he needed to
do some much-needed analysis of the Bible at his country estate. He
also invented calculus and looked at some pretty colored lights.

And CO2 is a minor effect compared to total even including bogus

Plus as CO2 is measured to rise, temperature has remained constant for

You mean WATER is observed to thermally expand. IF there is NO warming,
then obviously there is NO expansion. QED. Dismissed.

Your claims of alarming and dramatic sea level rises are all false. ALL
are PROJECTIONS AND GUESSES. Actual sea level is indeed rising, but at
the couple of mm a year that has been going on post-glaciation. Old
folks running for high ground in Florida or billions to be paid to
island nations to say we are "sorry" for flooding them by driving our
SUVs are simple idiocy... but is consistent with AGW theory.

And wait. Now we see that a good chunk of that "normal" sea rise is due
to ground water pumping!

http://sciencealert.com.au/features/20122305-23410.html

Which makes all your thermal arguments even MORE bogus than they were to

> All consistent with AGW

You mean all consistent with the strange thermal religion you have going
in your head. Sam, you actually COULD read the above links and then
"constuctively debate" the scientific points by pointing out what you

Oh here we go. Science is all about social values, Marvin. If only you

you" again!

Sorry Sam, Marvin has much too much integrity to sell out to the likes
of you! But hey, you've seen my work here. I'm pretty good, no? I've
got no such ethics and for the traditional suitcase full of money, I'll
be glad to join you in the AGW "constructive debate" and you won't even
have to "like" me! I've already provided a standing offer for many years
to demonstrate how the new electronic voting machines can be hacked to
have your candidates win in exchange for the traditional money suitcase.
So far no takers. My feeling is the folks who would benefit from the

LOL. Exactly the problem everyone later than mollusk is concerned about.
The total effect will be much larger than the CO2-only theory.

Or don't you realize if A < B then B > A?

I won't bore you with comparisons with a system of a light and a switch
and the power needed to turn the switch on compared with the power
the light gives out. No -- you need a science or even engineering background
for that, these days.

But let's trot out the skeptics again.

It has been calculated theoretically that, if there are no other
changes in the climate system, a doubling of the atmospheric CO2
concentration would cause less than 1 deg C of surface warming (about
1 deg. F). This is NOT a controversial statement -- it is well understood
by climate scientists. (As of 2008, we were about 40% to 45% of the
way toward a doubling of atmospheric CO2.)
-- Dr Roy W. Spencer, "Global Warming 101", 2008

So Spencer indicates with 40% of CO2 in the atmosphere now, we can
expect CO2-only warming to be around .7*.4 == .28C now.

Our research shows a rolling record of the earth's mean surface temperature.
The warming figures reveal a common trend. Since pre-industrial times, all
point to a warming of the earth to around 0.75 degrees.
-- Richard Muller, Jul 16 2011

So what Muller is saying is that with 40% of the distance to CO2-doubling
we are already seeing a total of .75C of warming.

Taking these 2 things we therefore see that there is a factor of .75/.28 == 2.7 between CO2-only and observed total warming.

So we therefore should expect something like 2.7*.7 == 1.9C of warming by around 2100 when CO2 should hit 600 ppmv. Maybe a bit sooner, given the
rate of industrial CO2 out gassing has hit a record over the last 12 m.

As temperatures start to climb this decade, I hope you will abandon
your conclusion that "more CO2 will not cause more warming". Most
likely you will decide it's methane or something else.

"On the basis of radiation transfer theory, Raymond Pierrehumbert
(PHYSICS TODAY, January 2011, page 33 ) claims that as the ditch in
emission spectra seen from space widens, increased atmospheric carbon
dioxide renders Earth’s cooling less efficient. Across the ditch,
emission by CO2 varies with the temperatures of the strata from which
the emission occurs. As the concentration of CO2 increases, its emission
to space takes place from progressively higher levels. Near the edge of
the ditch, where the emission is from the troposphere, the levels become
colder. However, across the 14.5- to 15.5-μm (650–690 cm−1) band they
become warmer".

Raymond T. Pierrehumbert replies:
http://physicstoday.org/resource/1/phtoad/v64/i7/p12_s2?bypassSSO=1

"Because the stratosphere is warmer than the tropopause, emission near
the center of the CO2 band increases as CO2 concentration is increased
with temperature held fixed. However, the increased emission in that
spike is far outweighed by the decreased emission in the wings, as is
verified by all detailed calculations of radiative forcing.1 The
increased emission near the center of the CO2 band primarily acts to
cool the stratosphere, not the surface, and once the stratosphere comes
into equilibrium, the effect of ditch-shallowing becomes even less
pronounced.

"The papers Hardy Granberg refers to are attempts to detect the
signature of recent CO2 increase in the observed trend in spectra
between 1970 and 1997. That is a formidable task, given inter-annual
variability, observational errors, the small signal over such a short
time period, and the problem of intercomparison between measurements
taken with different satellites. The spectra discussed in those papers
incorporate the influence of temperature changes over the time period
and do not in any way imply that the CO2 increase has made cooling to
space more efficient. One doesn’t need to be able to accurately observe
the short-term trend in order to confirm that radiative transfer is
being done correctly. The comparisons of present-day spectra shown in my
article already amply demonstrate that".

Hey Marvin, at what points along the graph is dT/dt < 0 ?

He probably says the same about you. Perhaps you guys should
find common ground.

I didn't say it was negative. I said it was zero.

You're saying it is not only positive, but positive increasing. That's
simply delusional.
