One of the argumentative tactics that the GW loons employ involves bait and
switch. (For other examples of this read anything by Coby Beck.) When the
skeptics point out that the confidence level of the computer models has
never been properly explicated they shift the subject with comments like the
following:
> . . . our more disingenuous critics would have you believe, the core of
> the evidence that we need to be concerned about anthropogenic emissions
> does not come from model runs, but from relatively straightforward

I know for a fact that there are no, "straightforward arguments in classical
radiative physics," that indicate catastrophic AGW. In fact the statement
is patently absurd.
So, Michael, I'm calling your bluff. Where's the evidence that,
"straightforward arguments in classical radiative physics," indicate
catastrophic AGW? References?
Wanna bet that Michael never answers the question and instead shifts the
topic, once again, to talking about the drama of if AGW is true. Or maybe
he'll just skip ahead and accuse me of working for big oil.

Models are irrelevent. Radiative physics was begun by Albert Einstein
over 100 years ago presenting the "photon" theory of light radiation.
He developed it further with the Theory of Relativity and the Special
Theory of Relativity. Neils Bohr and the Copenhagen Interpretation
developed quantum physics theory further. Both of these are well proved
by the photons of light emitted by the dscreen you are looking at to
read this.
That is radiative physics. PHYSICAL elements and molecules RADIATE
energy as visible and invisible light. Infrared light is invisible to
humans but visible to their instruments. We can see IR light with
instruments and special IR sensitive camera films.
Only rightwing loons deny infrared energy exists.
CO2 is opaque to IR photons. That means it captures them, holds them
for a time and releases them when conditions are right. CO2 is also
invisible.
Only rightwing loons deny CO2 exists.
The VISIBLE spectrum lead to the discovery of elements through their
RADIATIVE PHYSICS. We know a lot about the absorption and emissions of
various spectra of light, both visible and invisible.
Only rightwing loons deny spectra exist.
WE know for an absolute certainty what happens when IR radiation is in
an atmosphere containing CO2. DEnial of Greenhouse gases requires a new
physics that explains where the IR energy disappears from the system
when we measure it is in the system using thermometers and IR-sensitive
instruments and IR-sensitive camera films.
Only a rightwing loon would deny IR energy is in the system after it
has been measured as being there.
The FIRST LAW of THERMODYNAMICS states that energy cannot be created
nor destroyed. Radiative Physics explains what the IR heat energy does
in the system. You have to produce an alternative explanation which
EXPLAINS ALL OF THE EVIDENCE better than the explanation used by the
whole world's phyicists.
Only a rightwing loon would imagine leprechans wisking away the IR
energy so that it never influences the climate-atmospheric system.
MODELS are useful for predicting, but they are totally unnecessary for
demonstrating that Athropogenic (Man-Made) Greenhouse Gases trap heat
in the biosphere and create Global Warming.
You can fight and destroy every model on the planet and the plain
RADIATIVE PHYSIC still proves there is a serious Global Warming problem
caused by man-made pollutoion gases.
Only a rightwing loon trained in a Kansas Creation-Science class would
be ignorant of RADIATIVE PHYSICS and think models are central to
proving anything about Global Warming.
I agree. And since the only basis for the premise that the future of
earth's climate involves catastrophic AGW we have no choice but to reject
the premise. Right?
Do you agree with my reasoning? If not then what is the basis for the
premise that the future of earth's climate involves catastrophic AGW. And,
as always, don't fail to support your argument with references.
Jim
Propaganda.
I actually have other things to do than argue with people, especially
people more interested in debating trickery than truth. In this case I
will reply, but in general a lack of reply should be taken as evidence
that I am busy working, rather than that I have nothing to say.
Read the quote from me:
> the core of
> the evidence that we need to be concerned about anthropogenic emissions
> does not come from model runs, but from relatively straightforward
> arguments in classical radiative physics.
and the challenge:
> So, Michael, I'm calling your bluff. Where's the evidence that,
> "straightforward arguments in classical radiative physics," indicate
> catastrophic AGW? References?
Argument by straw man, anyone?
Am I to defend what I said, or the manipulation of what I said into
something far more arguable. Indeed, what does "catastrophic AGW" mean
in this context? The word "catastrophic" doesn't have a clear meaning
here. I said "reason for concern".
Of course, the fundamental classical physics basis I refer to is the
phenomenon informally known as the "greenhouse effect". Am I being
challenged to produce evidence of the greenhnouse effect? A didactic
introduction to the greenhouse effect? What?
If my interlocutor were engaged in fair and open-minded discourse, he
would make clear what sort of response could conceivably satisfy his
inquiry. As it stands, there is 1) only good luck that I happened
across this challenge to me ("I'll bet he doesn't respond" indeed") and
2) not the slightest indication of what a satisfactory response might
look like. I'd venture that there simply is no response that would be
treated by Mr McGinn as satisfactory, and that its truth or untruth is
not especially relevant.
In short, the rules of science and the rules of bullshit artistry are
entirely orthogonal. I leave it to the reader to determine which of us
is playing which game.
The best I can do in regards to this charming stealth challenge, then,
is to confine myself to saying this:
I was referring to the greenhouse effect, of which the mechanism was
understood and magnitude successfully estimated long before the first
programmable computer was built.
The genuinely interested reader is referred to the wikipedia article
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_effect
as an excellent starting point for further investigation.

I googled "Venus". I was feeling lucky, and I got this:
http://www.nineplanets.org/venus.html
It says
"This dense atmosphere produces a run-away greenhouse effect that
raises Venus' surface temperature by about 400 degrees to over 740 K
(hot enough to melt lead). Venus' surface is actually hotter than
Mercury's despite being nearly twice as far from the Sun."
Will that do?

It depends what your claim is. I don't see you making any claim here. Are
you saying that the runaway greenhouse effect on Venus is evidence that the
same thing is about to happen on earth? If so, I doubt there is even one
scientist that will concur with you on this.

So I produced evidence of the greenhouse effect.

My present claim is only that the greenhouse effect itself is
well-established physics.
So, do you acknowledge that the greenhouse effect itself is established
physics, or not?

If you were seriously interested in this issue, you would answer my
question, as I answered yours.
I'm trying to formulate an argument against your position, and in doing
so I must presume that you hold a coherent position that I might argue
against it. The only thing you seem willing to state with any clarity
is that we are in disagreement. So I am (admittedly with little
optimism at this point) trying to find out what semblance of a position
you might possibly be trying to hold.
Taking pleasure in being rude to people who know things that you don't
does not constitute an intellectual position, by the way. It's called a
"bad habit" not a "theory".
encore, and barring some unforeseen change, the final encore:
Do you accept that the greenhouse effect is established classical
physics or not?
If you refuse to answer, why?
Why should I feel compelled to answer your questions if you feel free
to ignore mine?

while i may not speak for Mr Tobis, i will point out that the argument
from classical radiative physics is very well known for more than a century.
i understand from some of your previous posts that you are most sceptical
and disbelieving of large numerical models requiring extensive computation.
i therefore suggest you read the following paper
Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science,
Fifth Series, page 237 et seq., April 1896.
'On the Influence of Carbonic Acid in the Air upon the Temperature
of the Ground' by Svante Arrhenius
i further suggest that you equip yourself with pencil and paper and
work through the arguments presented therein.
this is a very nice paper and may be verified with some elementary
calculation, with no use of elaborate computer models. i have done
so and satisfied myself that the result is sound.
if you are able to find some glaring error in the physics or the
mathematics in this paper, i am sure you will forever be famous.
until then, you will forgive me if i believe Prof. Arrhenius,
Mr. Tobis, and other eminently qualified scientists, as well as
my own calculation, rather than your unsupported assertions.

If you whackos can't support your arguments then don't make them.
This is a true statement. So is this variation:
There is no lack of evidence to support the reality of potentially
beneficial climate
the name of the paper, which is included in your response below is
'On the Influence of Carbonic Acid in the Air upon the Temperature
of the Ground'
the calculation in the paper establishes that an increase in the CO2
('Carbonic Acid') content of the atmosphere will result in an increase
in the 'Temperature of the Ground'
i do urge you again to read and work through the paper, it is really
a fine work piece from late 19th century science that has withstood
a century of inspection.

Okay. I just read the paper. Here's a link to it:
http://web.lemoyne.edu/~GIUNTA/Arrhenius.html
I'm sorry but I just don't see anything in here that confirms Michael
Tobis's claim to have an argument involving, "classical radiative physics,"
that indicates catastrophic AGW? All I see is a general discussion about
the influence of carbobic acid (and CO2) on temperature. Not only do I not
see anything catastrophic about CO2 in any of this but there are aspects to
this that suggest that CO2 (and GW) may be a good thing. (If nothing else
this paper shows that variations in CO2 have been much more dramatic in the
past.)
Keep in mind that a return to ice age conditions would essentially bring
western civilization to an end. And despite the positive effect this would
have on ski conditions not everybody would consider this a good thing. All
in all, with respect to the huge losses associated with a return to ice age
conditions the costs associated with GW seem rather modest to me especiallly
considering they may serve to lessen the intensity of a return to ice age
conditions. Maybe we should, at least, consider the possibility that CO2 in
the atmosphere may be a good thing.
(If only we could keep the ideological bozos, on both the left and the
right, to stay out of the discussion.)

OK, so you don't even know what a "reference" is then? What he has
given you is a "reference" (what you asked for). When given a reference
to existing material, the idea is that you will then go and look up the
paper/book/article that is listed (sometimes using something called a
"library"), read it, and then (hopefully) come back and discuss its
contents in a rational fashion.
To give you a bit more help, the "reference" tells you the name of
the journal, the volume (year and month in this case), page number,
title, and author of the article he is suggesting you read.
To help you a little more, the article in question represents
an "argument from classical radiative physics". The item that you

You are given LEGAL NOTICE that you are aiding and abetting an
ORGANIZED CRIME FELONY FRAUD operation, that you have joined in an
"enterprise" as defined by law, have committed one or more acts of
fraud using WIRES or U.S. Mail in collaboration with the illegal
enterprise. From this date forward any further actions on your part to
aid this enterprise are legally considered prima facia premeditated,
willful intent to violate FEDERAL LAW.
SEPPtic Tank is an ORGANIZED CRIME front operation headed by lifelong
career-criminal S. Fred Singer.
In 1994 Singer wrote a science hoax piece for big tobacco. The piece
was submitted to RJ Reynolds lawyers pre-publication. The piece was
short some "peer-reviewers" so a request was made for some names of
tame "whitecoats" willing to lie for money to sign off on the document.
Ultimately a bunch of names appeared on this science hoax document, as
well as inside it's pages. The whole thing became evidence in the
FEDERAL trial of the Big Seven Tobacco Companies in the late 1990s. The
documents were produced by subpoena (a turm meaning "under pain", like
we will hurt you bad if you don't comply). The evidence passed due
process of law in a trial admitted as evidence. The judge ordered the
evidence posted online for 10 years at Big Tobacco's expense -- oh,
year, the Tobacco Companies also agreed to pay $246,000,000,000.00 too.
Fred Singer is corrupt and I have seen the evidence from the trial that
proved he is corrupt. He is an ORGANIZED CRIME figure who uses science
hoaxes for corporate clients to falsify the state of knowledge on
subjects his clients need confused and obfuscated.
SEPP was organized in the premises of a Sun Myung Moon-owned office
suite. Moon is also a career criminal who was convicted of tax evasion
and money laundering, sent to FREDERAL PRISON, and is a known felon
convict.
FRED SINGER's SEPPtic Tank moved to the offices of Charles G. Koch
Summer Fellows Program at the Koch-owned George Mason University.
Killer Charles G. Koch and brother Killer David Koch operate KOCH
INDUSTRIES, which itself has been convicted of the largest fine in
corporate history -- $35,000,000.00 for pollution of air, lands and
waters of six states.

I'm dealing with the part where you asked for "references", and the
part where you denied there was an "argument from classical radiative
physics". When provided with references to an argument, you're playing
stupid.

Your "see, I was right" argument does nothing to refute Michael's

Never happened. You are guilty of creative reading.

No, I wouldn't pretend to compete with you on this.
Nothing in classical physics indicates that hippopotamus, either. So
what?
Offer a refutable statement, and I may be inclined to agree or
disagree, tentatively or wholeheartedly, with it. Such a statement, P,
will be at least syntactically and semantically meaningful in the
assertion "it is the case that P". My claim is

You have refused to take a position on whether you stipulate that the
physics in question is correct. Until you do, I can make no further
progress in defending my position.
You have accused me of failing to prove something else that you refuse
to define and that to all appearances is not a proposition.
If you have some hypothesis with which you agree or disagree that you'd
like to discuss, please begin by stating it clearly.
mt
You can't say I didn't offer you the opportunity to retract your statement.
Why are you "stuck on stupid" when it would just be easier for you to
admit you don't understand any of this? What drives you to be so
completely irrational that you would rather continue to contribute to a
worldview so destructive of humanity? Are you a paid shill, a
idealogue, religiously driven, mentally ill, or just arrogant and
stupid? Why are you simply unwilling to admit error???
Jim McGinn is akin to a suicide-bomber who is willing to blow himself
up and blow up your world because his masters have told him to do that.
He has no rational control. He is a zombie hypnotized to be a human
grenade to disrupt discussions that would interfer with the bizarre
plans of his masters.
He is incapable of explaining himself. He can't tell you the simplest
things, like his real name, his location, his hobbys, his achievements.
He is a hollowed out thing, a simacrulum of a human being, devoid of
personality or self-guidence.
I've seen trained attack dogs with more independence of will and
greater intelligence. McGinn is some "thing" who can't pass a Turing
Test to prove he is human.
Trolls rarely know or care about the community or topic they disrupt.
mt
I'm incapable of eror.
My money is on paid shill. We know that this is a technique being actively
promoted by industries opposed to GW mitigation and he exhibits a very
dedicated purpose and employs all the standard techniques and arguments. I
have seen nothing original from him nor any evidence of a sincere response.
I actually know two others reasonably closely, and one personally who
has discussed it, who are paid money to do this kind of thing. In
other words, paid to "appear" as just an interested party and paid to
avoid ever admitting it as such, the purpose being to influence public
opinion about a company or gov't or subject matter. The internet is a
free-for-all and there are few standards that are enforced (and only
locally, if at all) and few agencies with any ability to enforce (and
again, only with local control -- there is no international crime law
in this case.)
In the case of the one person I know closely, they are paid by the
gov't (not the US, in this case) and work out of an embassy office.
Very bright, very capable. And knowing the person, something that
makes me well understand the likelihood and frequency with which this
is done. It would not surprise me in the least to imagine that in the
situation of the environment, with so much at stake for so many (not
just companies, but gov'ts as well), that there would be more than a
few of these and at least two or more in this group alone. There is
money out there for this activity.
Jon
I don't have any links handy, but I believe it was Greg Palast from the
Guardian who did an exposee of this kind of "PR" tactic on blogs and usenet.
Given that the kind of person who would be doing that for a corporation (at
least in my envisioning of how it would work) would be young and either
inexperienced or not very bright, ie not more useful doing something else,
perhaps some of these people could end up being turned from their current
path?
Sorry, just a brief slip of optimism there ;)
> I have seen nothing original from him nor any evidence of a sincere

I think it's your own ignorance inspired arrogance that brings you to the
conclusion that this debate requires anything original. It doesn't. The
points that I have here have already been made and ignored previously in
this NG.
Causality is established/empirical science.
I think you need to ask yourself why it is that Dr. Hansen refused/failed to
reveal the fact that the accuracy of his models is--inescapably--less than
0.01%.
OK, troll thing, just what do you mean by "accuracy of his models is less than
0.01%"?? Start by giving us a definition of "accuracy"....

You made a statement of fact, but have not personally verified the
facts of the matter. In fact, you have presented no evidence that you
are capable of understanding the science involved or drawing any kind
of independent assessment of the facts.
You have established a track record of lying through unsported
statements of fact which you have never personally verified for
accuracy. You have been repeatedly notified, LEGAL NOTICE, that
criminal fraud on this subject is occurring, and the laws in states
where your messages appear prohibit aiding and abetting criminal
frauds. The laws further impose a mandatory duty to personally
investigate and verify questionable facts before promulgating them as
if they were true.

I haven't read it. The point I was trying to make is that this isn't
just some theory. It is a fact of life. I don't want anyone to
imagine that they attend a newsgroup that is immune to this kind of
influence. I'm almost certain that it happens right here, right now.
It's immediate and real and applies to a few names seen here, I'm
certain.

The individual I happen to know is independently wealthy at a level I
could only dream about, and very bright and well educated. He cares
about the world, deeply, and he puts his own life on the line to do
the right thing in troubled, war-torn areas. However, he also spends
at least as much time spamming boards for his gov't, ensconced in an
embassy and doing the "good work" of pushing his gov'ts views on an
unsuspecting world of internet chat boards and newsgroups. He's not
young and certainly not inexperienced.

Actually exactly the opposite is the case. Michael attempted to "strawman"
the question I asked him (a tactic typical to newsgroups). He got caught.

Why does "Jim McGinn" name pop up when searching Cato Institute
"Organized Crime"?
How did search terms: Cato Institute "Organized Crime" become synomous
with "Jim McGinn"?
Easy. Practice, practice, practice. In the few short weeks that agent
McGinn has attempted to be a disrupter of usenet environmental groups
he has associated himself with Killer Koch Brothers Organized Crime
operations, including Cato Institute, so strongly that GOOGLE.COM
automatically pops Jim McGinn up to the top of the list if you look up
Cato Institute "Organized Crime".
Looking up "Fred Singer" "Organized Crime" also puts Jim McGinn at the
top of the list.

That's why I specified someone doing this "for a corporation" to avoid the
complication of people who may actually believe in what they are doing. But
I do understand that there are all kinds of people with all kinds of
motivations.

I said that classical physics was at the core of an argument that we

So. You deny that using google.com to search for keywords about CATO
INSTITUTE "ORGANIZED CRIME" produces dozens of links mentioning "Jim
McGinn"?
Or do you deny that looking up BILL KOCH on google produces 80 links
calling his brothers Charles & David "Organized Crime"? Then how do you
explain these links?
How did search terms: Cato Institute "Organized Crime" become synomous
with "Jim McGinn"?
Easy. Practice, practice, practice. In the few short weeks that agent
McGinn has attempted to be a disrupter of usenet environmental groups
he has associated himself with Killer Koch Brothers Organized Crime
operations, including Cato Institute, so strongly that GOOGLE.COM
automatically pops Jim McGinn up to the top of the list if you look up
Cato Institute "Organized Crime".
Looking up "Fred Singer" "Organized Crime" also puts Jim McGinn at the
top of the list.

A person would have to be cockoo to not see the facts presented. Jim
McGinn is synomous with Cato Institute Organized Crime, and Cato was
founded by Killer Charles G. Koch and brother Killer David Koch is
director of Cato Organized Crime -- Their brother Bill Koch said so on
national TV and neither CBS nor Bill got sued for libel (why do you
think that is?).

C'mon Mikey, we both know you don't have any such, "classical physics,"
argument for GW death scenarios.
Don't get creative.

I do appreciate your creating fresh opportunities to associate in the
public mind that CATO Institute was founded by Organized Crime boss
Charles G. Koch and his brother Killer David Koch is direcor of Cato,
and that BILL KOCH, twin brother to David & Charles called them
"Organized Crime" on CBS national television.
Whatever they are paying you to spam newsgroups is buying them $10,000
of unfavorable publicity for each and every message you post. Keep up
the good work notifying the public about the reason OILMEN Koch want to
destroy the EPA and pollution regulations after getting the largest
fine in US history for 300 incidents of fouling the air, lands and
waters of six states.

Why don't you explain to us how radiative physics indicates
