Fossil fools constantly are in search of anything but
anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions to blame global
warming on. Only those explanations will please there
carbon polluting industry masters. Lately, they've
been spreading some manure about the Sun warming up
and causing global mean surface temperatures to rise.
To blame the Sun, fossil fools must totally ignore
some very basic facts.
The Sun can't be the cause of the recent warming because:
--- the sun hasn't warmed enough recently, only gone
through its 11-year cycle, and
--- while that 11-year solar cycle went down for the last
5 years, global temperature record highs were set,
including last year's all time record warmth, and
--- there was more warming near the poles than at the
equator, the sun would have warmed the world evenly,
and
--- the stratosphere has cooled, while the near surface
warmed, the sun would have warmed both evenly, and
--- most of the recent warming happened at night when
the sun did not shine.
Fossil fools can always find a quote from some crank
scientist who will will support their fantasy, but
they'll always ignore these simple facts and the rest of
mainstream science. They're called fools for good reason.
Meanwhile, global mean surface temperatures continue to rise.
These globally averaged temperature data come from NASA:
http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/tabledata/GLB.Ts+dSST.txt
They represent the results of tens of millions of readings
taken at thousands of land stations and ships around the globe
over the last 127 years. Yes, the land data are corrected for
the urban heat island effect. The sea data do not need to be.
There are few urban centers in the sea.

The most recent 144 continuous months, or 12 years and 0 months,
on this GLB.Ts+dSST.txt data set are all above the 1951-1980

There are 1514 months of data on this data set:
-- 649 of them are at or above the norm.
-- 865 of them are below the norm.
This run of 144 months above the norm is the result of a warming
world. It is too large to occur by chance at any reasonable level
of confidence. A major volcano eruption, thermonuclear war, or
meteor impact could stop this warming trend for a couple of years,
otherwise expect it to continue.

This chart seems very promising. What's obvious is that the cycle of
warming and cooling is getting longer, if there's going to be a cooling
cycle at all. Is there also a reference link for humidity? If so, I
wouldn't be surprised in the least if global humidity were increasing as
well.

Temperature data is reported twice every day as a daily high and
a nighttime low. United States Historical Climate Network data
distributions contain two files "hcn_doe_max_data" and
"hcn_doe_min_data" as well. These two files contain time of
observation corrected data from 1221 sites in the continental
US for more than a century.
Pet scientists for the fossil fuel lobby often claim that an
increased brightness of the Sun is responsible for the observed
rise in the global mean temperature. These maximum and minimum
data very clearly contradict that statement. As one can see
from the maps and outputs published below, 0.0314 °F/Decade is
the probability weighted mean temperature change for the daily
high time data, while 0.0980 °F/Decade is the same figure for
the nighttime low.
So, the rate of warming of the nighttime low is more than three
times the daytime rate! If the sun were brightening and causing
the warming this figure should be reversed, there should be more
warming during the day, not more than three times warming rate
during the night, when the Sun doesn't shine.

The data cover the years 1800-2004. The number of years on
each station's record varies and on average is about 100 years.

The valid, or non "-99.99," yearly average fields from the time
of observation corrected daily high and nighttime low," or "1+"
and "2+," records in years later than, or equal to, 1800 are
used.
That is why I use data from NASA and not "junkscience.com".
Steve Malloy has tinkered with his own global mean
temperature for about two years now, and he still hasn't
got it right. What he doesn't seem to understand is that
at least a 30-year record is needed before one can infer
statements about climate and global warming. So, the
earliest Malloy's little project could have any value in
the global warming debate is about 2035.
It means that the greenhouse gases are acting like a blanket, retaining
more heat over night than before.
It means that the explaination of global warming being due to the Sun being
hotter is less likely, since Sunshine isn't available at night.
The instrumental record Roger is using only goes back 127 years, so February
was the 6th warmest in *at least* 127 years. This is a simple fact that we
are stuck with. GISS uses a global dataset of 145 years that indicates 2005
was the warmest year recorded in that time, so the correct characterization
of that is to say 2005 was likely the warmest year in *at least* 145 years.
http://www.grida.no/climate/ipcc_tar/wg1/fig2-1.htm (this graph stops at
2001).
http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/2005/
But there is another direct measurement record that can tell us things about
temperature over the last 500 years, and that is borehole measurements.
Basically, this involves drilling a deep hole and measuring the temperature
at various depths. This gives us information about century scale temperature
trends as warmer or cooler pulses from surface changes propogate down
through the earth's crust. This way of inferring surface temperatures
smooths out short term or yearly flucuations so we can not know anything
about individual years.
Read about it here:
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/borehole/index.html
See the temperature trend here:
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/globalwarming/pollack.html
Thus, using this record we can extend our timeframe and reasonably conclude
that it is warmer now than any time in the last 500 years.
It is possible to make reconstructions of temperature much further back,
using what are called proxy data. These include things like tree rings,
ocean sediment, coral growth, layers in stalagmites and others. The
reconstructions available are all slightly different and provide sometimes
more and sometimes less global versus regional coverage over the last one or
two thousand years but:
"they all show some similar patterns of temperature change over the last
several centuries. Most striking is the fact that each record reveals that
the 20th century is the warmest of the entire record, and that warming was
most dramatic after 1920"
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/globalwarming/paleolast.html
Thus we can reasonably say it is warmer now than any other time in the last
one thousand years.
The only other candidate for a higher temperature period going back through
the entire Holocene (~12000bp to now) is called the Holocene Climatic
Optimum some 6000 years ago. It is not known exactly what the temperatures
were then but they have long been thought to be almost as warm as now. I
think that conclusion is starting to look less likely as it has been
determined that the anamolous warmth of that time was actually only in the
northern hemisphere and only in the winter months.
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/globalwarming/holocene.html
Wikipedia has a nice graph of many reconstructions of Holocene temperature
all super-imposed with an average of all of them combined to boot:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Holocene_Temperature_Variations.png
Thus one can reasonably believe that it is warmer now than at any other time
in the last 12,000 years.
Before the current interglacial the planet was in the grip of a much cooler
glacial period with ice sheets well down into the continental US that only
just ended ~10,000 years ago. This 450Kyr record can be read in antarctic
ice core analyses and shows cycles of glacial-interglacial transitions over
100Kyr periods.
http://www.grida.no/climate/ipcc_tar/wg1/fig2-22.htm
Thus we can say that if our reading of the Holocene is correct, it is warmer
now than at any other time in over the last 100,000 years.
That is a bit more than 100 years, it is the entire history of our species.

It means more clouds.
Thus we can also say that climate cooling has been goining on for 5
million years.

Solar change, cyclic or not, does not explain the current
warming for the reasons listed.
Using a telescope to look at the sun will cause blindness.
That's very significant. The last ice age was only about 5 C cooler.
Why do you cite an industry-shill group? Why not read what NASA, or IPCC,
have to say instead? Do they confuse you with facts?
If I say, Shakespeare was the greatest writer of his time, that doesn't
automatically mean there were greater writers at other times.

Duh, I guess you should have graduated high school.
Indeed it was warmer 5 million years ago, even warmer 4 billion, but the
point is not what is a better or worse climate. No one is upset about GW
because we are leaving behind the optimum climate. I don't know if there is
a meaningful way to define an "optimum" average temperature. Surely it is
better on earth now, not having as much land trapped beneath ice sheets as
there was 20K years ago. But between the climate 100 or 200 years ago and
the worst one we may be heading for with tropical forests inside the arctic
circle, one degree Celsius seems just as good as any other. But the critical
issue with what is going on today is not where the temperature is or is not
at, but how fast it is moving.
Rapid change is the real danger. Human habits and infrastructure are suited
to particular weather patterns and sea levels, as are ecosystems and animal
behaviours. The rate at which the global temperature is rising today is very
likely unique in the history of our species. It is also very rare in
geological history though perhaps not unprecedented. But, once you look at
the impact similar changes had on biodiversity at the time, the existence of
some historical precedent or another becomes anything but reassuring.
What we know about ecosystems and what geologic history demonstrates is that
such dramatic changes - up or down or sideways - are a tremendous shock to
the biosphere and cause mass extinction events. And that, all in all, is not
likely to be a good thing.

Actually, although I agree the real problem is the rate of warming, I would
argue that the climate of the last 10,000 years, i.e. since the last ice
age, has been the best climate to foster the evolution of humans. There will
be some pluses, but I believe, even if the rate was vastly reduced, there
will be more minuses. Things like reduced access to drinking water and
reduced good farmland adversely affect the human population this planet will
support, regardless of rate of change.

This argument is unconvincing. An increase of sun brightness could
still have more effect on night temperature than day temperature. The
effect can be delayed.
allright, less likely, but not conclusive.
How?
There is a huge difference between "can be" and "is."

It means that most of the observed warming has come from nighttime
temperatures that are higher rather than daytime temperatures that are
higher.
The only delay readily imaginable is the 8 minute delay that it takes for
the light to travel from the sun to the earth.
What other mechanisms of "delay" do you postulate?
Indeed we are. That is outside the normal climate swings for the interval
in question and is a full 20 to 25 percent of the change between the depth
of the last ice age and now.
A very large change indeed.
I don't know of any 127 year solar cycle. But we do have one that is 22
years long and isn't reflected in the measured global average temperature.
Why not Wally? What is the nature of this solar magic that doesn't appear
in the climate record when the sun is observed to increase it's output, but
is seen when the sun doesn't change it's output?
Curious minds want to know..
By the Way, yes it means that back in 1878 there was a February that was
warmer than this February. However, last years Feb was a record as well,
and the year before that, and two years before that.
You see Wally, that's not how random events stack up. Over time, if
things are random you get an ever decreasing probability of exceeding the
highest value, and what we are seeing is an ever increasing probability of
exceeding the highest.
How do you explain that?
Consistant with the reduction of Co2 over that period.. Reduction until
recently that is. We are now just a scant 2'C away from the maximum for the
period and have risen .5'C over the last 60 years or so, with the rate of
warming accelerating.
The projected rise of about 2'C will put us over the highest temps for this
5 million year peroid.

Is that so?
Check this out:
"Two British scientists say the level of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the
Earth's atmosphere is higher than for 20 million years."
Invent a way to do it, doofus, or discuss something practical.
Clear sky by dropping eg Al2O3 particles into clouds from airplains. It
makes rain.

Like reducing co2?
1, Calculate how many tons of Al2O3 you'd have to drop to rid the entire globe
of clouds.
2. Calculate how often you'd have to repeat it.

You know some buzzwords, but you clearly don't have a clue as to what they

Where are 44 year running averages used to vanish the 22 year solar cycle?

And how is that added?
Dear Scott, you have lots of questions.

Two reasons...

No you haven't actually. A lie is not an answer. A lie is a meaure of

Do you think that planes do not burn fuel completely?
In other words, 127 years of alleged global warming
and we are still in the 6th place?
LOL! You're funny!

Which is about the whole time we have been keeping records fool! Think
about it. The weather has 20 and 50 year cycles and we have only had 6
of the 20 year cycles, so 6th warmest is not that bad! That may mean
the coolest of those 20 cycles. In fact it is pittifully low for
proving global warming!
How about the fact that ALL the warmest years on record have occurred since
1990?
The reliable instrumental record only goes back 145 years. This is a simple
fact that we are stuck with. 2005 was the warmest year recorded in that
time, so the correct characterization is to say 2005 was likely the warmest
year in *at least* 145 years.
http://www.grida.no/climate/ipcc_tar/wg1/fig2-1.htm (this graph stops at
2001).
http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/2005/
But there is another direct measurement record that can tell us things about
temperature over the last 500 years, and that is borehole measurements.
Basically, this involves drilling a deep hole and measuring the temperature
at various depths. This gives us information about century scale temperature
trends as warmer or cooler pulses from surface changes propogate down
through the earth's crust. This way of inferring surface temperatures
smooths out short term or yearly flucuations so we can not know anything
about individual years.
Read about it here:
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/borehole/index.html
See the temperature trend here:
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/globalwarming/pollack.html
Thus, using this record we can extend our timeframe and reasonably conclude
that it is warmer now than any time in the last 500 years.
It is possible to make reconstructions of temperature much further back,
using what are called proxy data. These include things like tree rings,
ocean sediment, coral growth, layers in stalagmites and others. The
reconstructions available are all slightly different and provide sometimes
more and sometimes less global versus regional coverage over the last one or
two thousand years but:
"they all show some similar patterns of temperature change over the last
several centuries. Most striking is the fact that each record reveals that
the 20th century is the warmest of the entire record, and that warming was
most dramatic after 1920"
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/globalwarming/paleolast.html
Thus we can reasonably say it is warmer now than any other time in the last
one thousand years.
The only other candidate for a higher temperature period going back through
the entire Holocene (~12000bp to now) is called the Holocene Climatic
Optimum some 6000 years ago. It is not known exactly what the temperatures
were then but they have long been thought to be almost as warm as now. I
think that conclusion is starting to look less likely as it has been
determined that the anamolous warmth of that time was actually only in the
northern hemisphere and only in the winter months.
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/globalwarming/holocene.html
Wikipedia has a nice graph of many reconstructions of Holocene temperature
all super-imposed with an average of all of them combined to boot:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Holocene_Temperature_Variations.png
Thus one can reasonably believe that it is warmer now than at any other time
in the last 12,000 years.
Before the current interglacial the planet was in the grip of a much cooler
glacial period with ice sheets well down into the continental US that only
just ended ~10,000 years ago. This 450Kyr record can be read in antarctic
ice core analyses and shows cycles of glacial-interglacial transitions over
100Kyr periods.
http://www.grida.no/climate/ipcc_tar/wg1/fig2-22.htm
Thus we can say that if our reading of the Holocene is correct, it is warmer
now than at any other time in over the last 100,000 years.
That is a bit more than 100 years, it is the entire history of our species.
So ridiculous in so many ways....

People are more likely to panic for the sheer shock value of some
scientists opinions than to research their findings. You might say
there's a balance to the equations of "scientific" opinions.
Yet you are apparently not able to explain why.

You never bother to respond to the lengthy ans substantive responses I
frequently give you, why shoul I think you are interested? Anyway, this is
why:
There are no 20 year cycles. (Please feel free to post a reference.)
The previous record years are all in the last decade, hardly cyclic.
The records being set are all records in *at least* 128 or 145 years
(depending on the data set). The fact that there is no adequate data 129
years ago does not suggest that it was even hotter.
2005 breaking the record is not convincing? Let's see then, how about:
a.. every year since 1992 has been warmer than 1992
b.. the ten hottest years on record occured in the last 15
c.. every year since 1976 has been warmer than 1976
d.. the 20 hottest years on record occured in the last 25
e.. every year since 1956 has been warmer than 1956
f.. every year since 1917 has been warmer than 1917
The five year mean global temperature in 1910 was .8oC lower than the five
year mean in 2002. This and all the above come from the analysis by NASA
GISS here:
http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/2005/
There is an interesting quote from that page:
"Record warmth in 2005 is notable, because global temperature has not
received any boost from a tropical El Niño this year. The prior record year,
1998, on the contrary, was lifted 0.2°C above the trend line by the
strongest El Niño of the past century."

This is pretty rich, Sport. In one breath you tell me we have no good data
from before 50 years ago, and in the next you talk about a verified 50 year
cycle.
Can you see how that makes no sense?
