Gosh this is really strange, Ass-hat. Not only are the deepest parts of
the ocean where it's warming but it's also where the most acidity is!
And what is strange is that all the fossil fuel CO2 and "radiative
forcing" is at the surface of the ocean. Are we all supposed not notice
this? It sure looks like the tectonic CO2 cycle is forcing the ENTIRE
CO2 story, but it goes completely unmentioned in the interests of tax
agendas and political propaganda. This is a truly disgusting and
shameful display of sold-out science. How many millionaire "scientists"
can the "global warming" scam support? Apparently quite a few.

There is no debate that Hansen's GISS data show an increase equal to his
scenario "C" which proposed absolutely NO increase in CO2 from the time
of the prediction. All other "predictions" were WAY off the mark.
Hansen's data is KNOWN "adjusted upward" with Urban heat island effects
ignored. In any event the total rise in fudged data over the last half
century is a mere 0.2 Degree which is hardly "alarming" and more like
"measurement errors"!

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c8/GISS-TGGWS-temp-data-comparison.svg

"Sam", you have any idea how difficult an accurate temperature
measurement of WEATHER to a tenth of a degree is? I thought not.

And furthermore, land surface temperature has been stable for the past
decade:

http://www.mrk-inc.com/users/bspam/AGWGISSJUNE.htm

Even through June 2012 "record hottest month "ever" blah blah blah"

Ocean surface temperature also FLAT! But IPCC "models" oddly show a
significant rise!

L:\Data\My Documents\Science\AGWGISS\AGWSEATEMP\AGWIndianSeaTemp.png

So obviously Dr. McCarthy is talking about the heating of "virtual sea
water" rather than actual sea water! No surprise there.

Which is important because it shows the statement that the non-existent
warming data he says "can only be explained by the increase in
greenhouse gases" is also false. It is a blatant unscientific political
lie. It CANNOT be "explained by any greenhouse gasses, because

1. CO2 is a MINOR player in the warming game at best 20% effect:

http://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/2010/2010JD014287.shtml

(Note Ass-hat, I'm using YOUR favorite references to prove my points!)

2. CO2 significant band is saturated hence more CO2 does nothing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Atmospheric_Transmission.png

3. "Radiative forcing" to use the warmist bullshit term, is not a
lagging mechanism. Radiation travels at the speed of light. But we find
in the last decade (see GISS data for last decade above) show virtually
zero warming while CO2 continues to rise. Hence there is NO, ZERO, NADA,
ZIP, NONE, NOT ANY correlation, let alone some imagined causality
between CO2 and "global warming". When CO2 goes UP and temperature GOES
DOWN, that can ONLY mean that CO2 is NOT a "cause" of any temperature
anomalies.

McCarthy the faker and liar says there is "no scientific evidence that
refutes this conclusion." when as we have just demonstrated BEYOND ANY
SCIENTIFIC DOUBT, all credible evidence refutes that conclusion EVEN
EVIDENCE TAKEN BY YOU WARMISTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF "PROVING" MAN-MADE
GLOBAL WARMING EXITS!

This testimony is one of the most shameful example of science sold out
to greed and politics I think I've ever seen! Every honest scientist or
even science assistants and technicians like you should be mad as hell
over this dishonesty that is tarnishing ALL of science in the public view.

Except for a few Earth Firsters, no one is advocating getting of of
fossil fuels without alternatives, just taxing carbon to reduce waste.

While there are vague claims that's, indeed, the purpose of taxing and
fining CO2 emissions, there's exactly zero evidence that those taxes
achieve anything of the sort.

I'm surprised you're so easily duped.

Just the opposite occurs, actually.

Those taxes aren't designed to "reduce waste." They're designed to
enrich the bureaucracy and the economic corporatists. Which all of the
taxes and fees so far introduced have achieved brilliantly, without
reducing "waste" by one freaking joule.

With the Carbon Exchanges in Europe collapsing amid the lies upon which
they were built, you'll have to have an American Exchange if you're to
save the circus.

I don't think you're gonna pull that one off, if you don't mind my
pointing it out so bluntly.

Whatever happened to the "punishing success" [taxing the rich]
rhetoric?

If taxing the rich reduces success then, by the same reasoning, taxing
carbon should reduce CO2 emissions.

Oh yeah, we all love paying taxes and delegating power to someone
that has our best interests at heart because we can't think for ourselves.
Make sure you wear a seat belt, it's the fucking law and pay a fine
if you don't, even if you would do so anyway. Oh wait, you are one of
those that want the power to control, tax and spend my money on what
you think it should be spent on and carbon is just a new way to get it.
There is no excuse for taxes, it began to raise an army to defend the
common wealth of the people and then the army was used to raid
the wealth of others to make the king in his counting house counting
out his money ever richer and more powerful, and if you don't pay you
get thrown in the dungeon as an example to others. Tax is theft under
any excuse.
If you don't want waste stop throwing away perfectly functional TVs
so that you can replace them with big flat screens that show the same
crappy hyperbole. If you don't want waste wash your glass milk bottles
for refilling instead of buying plastic bottles to be used once, expecting
me to sort them for you for remelting, they are made from oil. The
entire contents of my weekly trash bag comes from the grocery store,
and so does yours. Hygiene be damned, wash the bottles in water.
If you don't want waste stop buying a new car every two years because
you don't like the colour and you want to keep up with the Joneses.
Ask yourself how much you waste and how much you spend on taxes
to send your kid to a foreign land to fight a war because they produce
opium from poppies so that they can receive foreign aid out of your
taxes.
Your carbon tax to "reduce waste" excuse is a crock of lying shit.
Either you are totally gullible or you are another shit who wants my
wealth without doing anything to get your own. Fuck you and your

That's really not a good analogy, but I suppose I understand the source
of your confusion. You live in America.

Every damned thing in the circus, including your life (let alone liberty
and pursuit of happiness) depends upon the free flow of energy.

I need to remind you at this juncture, there are about 6.9 billion
screaming babies on this cooling ball.

Yet there's less starvation, pestilence and famine today than even when
there were only 1 billion of us. Have you never stopped to consider why?

There's only one answer: Energy.

I can assure you, politicians and populist bureaucrats (who invented the
new taxation and energy credit schemes) are acutely aware of all that.
They know the show must go on...no matter what.

Besides, in Europe, all energy is either directly controlled by the
central governments, or by corporatist enterprises heavily controlled by
the central governments. If taxes go up, the central government can
offset. All in order to keep the circus up and running.

If they don't, then the villagers light their torches and storm the
castle.

Bureaucrats hate when that happens.

As to saving "waste," you gotta realize only about 40% of carbon fuel
use goes to transportation.

Even so, that's what everyone likes to concentrate on.

So, you can establish punitive taxes to herd everyone into driving
battery powered electric cars.

Congratulations! Instead of gasoline/diesel-powered automobiles, now
you're driving coal powered cars.

There ain't no secha thing as a free lunch, after all.

Or you can heard everyone into high speed rail. Which may kinda make
sense in claustrophobic Europe. But even there they have trouble filling
all the passenger slots. Trains still run empty.

Then again, the trucks must roll. You literally can't live a single day
in a city without the trucks. And trucks are where the real "waste"
occurs.

There won't ever be any such thing as a battery-powered semi-trailer
truck.

Can you guess why?

Anyway you want to measure it, you haven't saved one damned joule.

Only the worst kind of naive fool would expect that populist-bureaucrats
can "transition society to alternative fuels," anyway.

Populist-bureaucrats don't ever solve problems. Why on God's green earth
would ever want to do THAT?

It certainly could never be construed as to be in their self interest to
do so.

No, populist bureaucrats don't solve problems; they subsidize them.

Yes, obviously. Also ending the government subsides for petroleum

In the overall greenhouse, yes, That's what the article is about.
That's different from the _increased_ GH effect now, due to added CO2.

And even then, its not "a few". Zero-carbon initiatives are growing.
And they are the only solution - regardless of how impossible it is.

OF course that poor congressman is now a millionaire many times over and
his tax didn't even pass yet! Just imagine when it does and his
"investments" start to come in!

But as for me I'm in a State of Fear because:

"The Environmental Protection Agency announcement this week that
greenhouse gases are damaging to human health provides fair warning to
Congress that if it doesn't take action, the agency might. And a
regulatory regime is everybody's second choice."

Can you imagine it? We are all actually BREATHING OUT that gas "damaging
to human health"! I say we pass regulations to stop as many humans from
breathing out greenhouse gases as possible. We can consult world record
holders in this (Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, etc) as to how it's best done...

If the CO2 effect was saturated, adding more CO2 should add no
additional greenhouse effect. However, satellite and surface
measurements observe an enhanced greenhouse effect at the wavelengths
that CO2 absorb energy. This is empirical proof that the CO2 effect is
not saturated.

If the CO2 effect is saturated, adding more CO2 should add no additional
greenhouse effect. However, observations continue to find an enhanced
greenhouse effect as CO2 levels rise. The paper Increases in greenhouse
forcing inferred from the outgoing longwave radiation spectra of the
Earth in 1970 and 1997 (Harries 2001) attempts to find out. In 1970,
NASA launched the IRIS satellite that measured infrared spectra between
400 cm-1 to 1600 cm-1. In 1996, the Japanese Space Agency launched the
IMG satellite which recorded similar observations. Harries 2001 compared
both sets of data to discern any changes in outgoing radiation over the
26 year period. The resultant change in outgoing radiation was as follows:


Figure 1: Change in spectrum from 1970 to 1996 due to trace gases.
'Brightness temperature' indicates equivalent blackbody temperature
(Harries 2001).

What they found was a drop in outgoing radiation at the wavelength bands
that greenhouse gases such as CO2 and methane (CH4) absorb energy. The
change in outgoing radiation over CO2 bands was consistent with
theoretical expectations. Thus the paper found "direct experimental
evidence for a significant increase in the Earth's greenhouse effect".

This result has been confirmed by subsequent papers using the latest
satellite data. Griggs 2004 compares the 1970 and 1997 spectra with
additional satellite data from the NASA AIRS satellite launched in 2003.
Chen 2007 extends this analysis to 2006 using data from the AURA
satellite launched in 2004. Both papers found the observed differences
in CO2 bands matched the expected changes based on rising CO2 levels.
Thus we have empirical evidence that increased CO2 is preventing
longwave radiation from escaping out to space.

Measurements of downward longwave radiation
What happens to longwave radiation that gets absorbed by greenhouse
gases? The energy heats the atmosphere which in turn re-radiates
longwave radiation. This re-radiated energy goes in all directions. Some
of it makes its way back to the surface of the earth. Hence we expect to
find increasing downward longwave radiation as CO2 levels increase.

Philipona 2004 finds that this is indeed the case - that downward
longwave radiation is increasing due to an enhanced greenhouse effect.
Evans 2006 takes this analysis further. By analysing high resolution
spectral data, the increase in downward radiation can be quantitatively
attributed to each of several anthropogenic gases. The results lead the
authors to conclude that "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."

So we have multiple lines of empirical evidence for an enhanced CO2
greenhouse effect. Satellite measurements confirm that less longwave
radiation is escaping to space. Surface measurements detect increased
longwave radiation returning back to Earth at wavelengths matching
increased CO2 warming. And of course the result of this energy imbalance
is the accumulation of heat over the last 40 years.

> CO2 is a MINOR player in the warming game at best 20% effect

The Nature commentary by Penner et al. on which this argument is based
actually says that on top of the global warming caused by carbon
dioxide, other short-lived pollutants (such as methane and black carbon)
cause an additional warming approximately 65% as much as CO2, and other
short-lived pollutants (such as aerosols) also cause some cooling.
However, claiming that CO2 has only caused 35% of global warming is a
gross misinterpretation and misunderstanding of the paper.

In August 2010, Nature published a commentary by Penner et al. which
mainly focused on the uncertainty regarding the effect short-lived
pollutants (such as aerosols and black carbon) have on the climate. As
is often the case, many in the blogosphere misinterpreted and
misunderstood the statements and conclusions in the commentary. Not
surprisingly, the biggest misinterpretation related to the contribution
of anthropogenic greenhouse gases to global warming. Below is the most
misunderstood quote, with emphasis on the key word.

"Of the short-lived species, methane, tropospheric ozone and black
carbon are key contributors to global warming, augmenting the radiative
forcing of carbon dioxide by 65%. Others — such as sulphate, nitrate and
organic aerosols — cause a negative radiative forcing, offsetting a
fraction of the warming owing to carbon dioxide."

Numerous blogs have (mis)interpreted this statement to mean that carbon
dioxide is only causing 35% as much global warming as previously
believed. A more accurate reading of the quote is that certain
short-lived pollutants cause warming in addition to carbon dioxide -
quantitatively, approximately 65% as much warming as CO2. And certain
other short-lived species cause a cooling effect which offsets some of
this warming.

This is not a new conclusion. The IPCC puts the radiative forcing from
CO2 at 1.66 W/m^2, compared to the forcing from other greenhouse gases,
black carbon, and tropospheric ozone at approximately 1.4 W/m^2.
Similarly, the negative forcing from aerosols is approximately -1.2 W/m^2.

While there are direct ways in which CO2 is a pollutant (acidification
of the ocean), its primary impact is its greenhouse warming effect.
While the greenhouse effect is a natural occurence, too much warming has
severe negative impacts on agriculture, health and environment.

We commonly think of pollutants as contaminants that make the
environment dirty or impure. A vivid example is sulphur dioxide, a
by-product of industrial activity. High levels of sulphur dioxide cause
breathing problems. Too much causes acid rain. Sulphur dioxide has a
direct effect on health and the environment. Carbon dioxide, on the
other hand, is a naturally occuring gas that existed in the atmosphere
long before humans. Plants need it to survive. The CO2 greenhouse effect
keeps our climate from freezing over. How can CO2 be considered a pollutant?

A broader definition of pollutant is a substance that causes instability
or discomfort to an ecosystem. Over the past 10,000 years, the level of
atmospheric carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has remained at relatively
stable levels. However, human CO2 emissions over the past few centuries
have upset this balance. The increase in CO2 has some direct effects on
the environment. For example, as the oceans absorb CO2 from the
atmosphere, it leads to acidification that affects many marine
ecosystems. However, the chief impact from rising CO2 is warmer
temperatures.

Figure 1: CO2 levels (parts per million) over the past 10,000 years.
Blue line from Taylor Dome ice cores (NOAA). Green line from Law Dome
ice core (CDIAC). Red line from direct measurements at Mauna Loa, Hawaii
(NOAA).

Rising CO2 levels causes an enhanced greenhouse effect. This leads to
warmer temperatures which has many consequences. Some effects are
beneficial such as improved agriculture at high latitudes and increased
vegetation growth in some circumstances. However, the negatives far
outweigh the positives. Coast-bound communities are threatened by rising
sea levels. Melting glaciers threaten the water supplies of hundreds of
millions. Species are becoming extinct at the fastest rate in history.

How we choose to define the word 'pollutant' is a play in semantics. To
focus on a few positive effects of carbon dioxide is to ignore the
broader picture of its full impacts. The net result from increasing CO2
are severe negative impacts on our environment and the living conditions
of future humanity.

"Sam", science isn't something you know much about it it? Quoting
propaganda sites with purposeful disinformation isn't any proof.

First off, the supposed "greenhouse effect" takes place at the earth's
surface. It is the radiation from the SURFACE that counts. Of course
bands are not saturated at low pressure at high altitudes. Which proves?
Absolutely nothing as usual. You have to show that radiation FROM THE
EARTH increases with increasing CO2. The very fact that current
temperatures are not following CO2 concentration for for that matter the
temperatures during the industrial development cooling period of
1940-1970 did not follow rising CO2 levels puts the lie to your theory.
OR are we talking only about VIRTUAL earth temperatures here?

They don't even single out CO2 which you claim is the ONLY major
Greenhouse gas and again this does NOT provide direct experimental
evidence as it measures high altitude radiation and not ground radiation
which is the only "significant" factor in warming. And tell us oh wise
one, just how MUCH "greenhouse effect" did they measure? Does the word
"significant" mean they actually measured something and then just
extrapolated to large effect the way you do with CO2 and temperature?
CO2 is BLOCKED at the surface of the planet. Only minor changes in the
band edge can get through which as I've given you NASA references to,
means a minor fraction of the 20% maximum effect of CO2. And it's worse
than that because water vapor blocks one side of the band leaving only
half the effect. Marvin has explained this to you many times and like an
ass-hat you simply pretend nothing was said.

SAM you have nothing but 40 years of accumulated lies and faked data and
spurious theories. The ENTIRE CO2 "greenhouse effect" theory simply does
not fly.

During a period when there was global COOLING as shown by Hansen
irrefutable data, CO2 was clearly rising.

http://www.mrk-inc.com/users/bspam/40-70GISS.htm

This was a period of major industrial expansion and use of fossil fuels.
Do you deny that CO2 went up in this 30 year period? Are you a denier?

And it's the same now:

http://www.mrk-inc.com/users/bspam/AGWGISSJUNE.htm

Again a period of RISING CO2. So where is the "radiative forcing"? Are
you going to tell us again that it somehow didn't warm the land (Hansen
data cannot be questioned) but DID warm the deep ocean? Is that your
"science"?

You know Sam, you are a true ass-hat. I'm not paid to refute your
propaganda sites the way your "climate scientists" are who fake this
data and concoct spurious "scare" theories for you to propagate all over
science groups. If it weren't important to show your lies I wouldn't
even answer.

HOW much "warming" Sam? Half a degree? Maybe even a FULL degree? Gosh it
seems Greenland was FOUR degrees warmer during the medieval warm period
and the only "consequences" was farming in Greenland colonies with a
healthy trade with Europe. No historical record of 80 meters of sea
level rises! I wonder why that was? Oh, I know. They simply FORGOT to
mention that all coastal towns and villages were totally flooded.


Your assertion that CO2 is the "cause" of warming is unscientific
fantasy. CO2 does not even have a CORRELATION with global warming let
alone a causality. The COOLING 30 year period from 1940 -1970 during
rising CO2 levels PROVES THAT BEYOND ANY DOUBT.

Penner is bullshit. The misunderstanding is clearly YOURS!

Quote from paper abstract describing YOU:

"The relative contributions of atmospheric long-wave absorbers to the
present-day global greenhouse effect are among the most misquoted
statistics in public discussions of climate change."

"most misquoted statistics in public discussions of climate change"?
That sure sounds like YOU, ass-hat.


Again from the "misinterpreted" paper:


And they continue:

"Motivated by the need for a clear reference for this issue, we review
the existing literature and use the Goddard Institute for Space Studies
ModelE radiation module to provide an overview of the role of each
absorber at the present-day and under doubled CO2. With a
straightforward scheme for allocating overlaps, we find that water vapor
is the dominant contributor (∼50% of the effect), followed by clouds
(∼25%) and then CO2 with ∼20%. All other absorbers play only minor roles."

Note they agree with your FORMER assessment that all other "greenhouse
gasses" play minor roles. So why are you changing your position now? I
thought the science was "settled"?

And no, Ass-hat, I did NOT claim CO2 was only 35% I claimed it had a
MAXIMUM value of the 20% asserted by this paper which let us note tries
to take all "feedbacks" into account. In fact, I have asserted this
paper over-estimates real values since it only calculates "virtual
greenhouse warming" rather than real warming which appears to have
nothing or at best very little to do with CO2.

In short you are purposely lying and misinterpreting data to try to fool
SOMEONE. Just who isn't clear since most lurkers here have some
acquaintance with science and know how to read charts and papers.

To all LURKERS:

Fact 1: Total temperature rise from 1900 to present: about 0.85 degree.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/95/Global_Temperature_Anomaly_1880-2010_%28Fig.A%29.gif


Historical warm periods had far greater temperature rises with no end of
civilization.

By above paper demonstrates (NASA data is irrefutable) increases in CO2
can take credit for roughly a MAXIMUM OF 20% of the above: or 0.17 degree.

Man made portion of CO2 is a fraction of that!

Energy "Carbon" tax will only reduce man-made CO2 production by just a
tiny fraction of it's total value (if that).

Get the picture yet? A TRILLION DOLLAR PER YEAR "carbon" tax doing
NOTHING but making certain rich men richer.

You're an idiot, an I say that with all due respect.

The European Carbon Credits hit a high in July of 2008 at 30 Euros a

on Earth, where atmospheric CO2 is no where near saturation point,
added CO2 has caused and is causing the planet to warm
anomalously.

Sarky-quotes? If you'd ever finished grade school and had learned how
to read you be able to see that the statement "greenhouse gases are
damaging to human health" are in the original article describing what
the EPA said! Just what do you think your idiot comments are doing to
further your Alarmist cause? You are only demonstrating what ignorant
morons you true believers in "global warming" are. Keep up the good work!

Is "sarky" an actual word? Not in my dictionary. Oh wait. You must be a
limey using slang limey-talk. Well that explains a lot. Tell us again
how the BBC as an irrefutable source assures us that CO2 causes global
warming and a host of other things "damaging to human health".

Sure, shit-bot, as soon as you tell me when you're going to climb

Your required reading "See Spot Run." Possibly a bit advanced for

The hysterical paranoid alarmist "bjacoby" attacks what scientists
(the EPA) never said because it's vastly easier than attacking
what they actually do say.

(Almost) Anonymous paid liar and propagandist "Desertphile" sets up
strawman and beats it down "proving" once again he's right and facts are
wrong.

The EPA quote was right there for everyone to see. I simply logically
extrapolated the idiocy to even more idiocy. You know, just like you do.

Name-calling is no scientific debate. There is no debating with you
ignorant anti-science deniers.

You know nothing about Desertphile and you can't disprove anything
that he's said.

bjacoby, you have no facts.

Sorry, Denier, but I have posted NOTHING but facts while Wormley and

Now that is a VERY GOOD question? Any REAL answers to it?

What do YOU know about science? I know more than HVAC so I need say no
more. Who can argue with anonymous deniers taking potshots from behind
a keyboard? If you want to win a "credential war", you have to start
with a real name and address. I'm in the phone book for Crissakes.

It doesn't matter what I know, because Hansen and Mann and Al Gore and
the other world-reknown can provide the knowledge. Not you and George
Bush and what other criminals you want out there

You are OUT of the top scientific world, though. Now think about that.

So just like Sam Wormley you think that parroting paid propaganda denier
sites that deny all science somehow proves that you are as "smart" as
them. Right, Einstein's messenger boy is as "smart" as Einstein. There
is no denying the millions Algore and Hansen have made on AGW, but that
is the idea, right?

You mean the "top scientific world like that great scientist Algore?
That is pretty funny. You've never even been near the top scientific
world. We wouldn't let you in the door!

I still haven't heard any real name and address. That gives you true
credibility in judging the "science" of others.

the sky is 5.7 Quadrillin ton with 190 TRILLION ton co2 and mans 15
BBBBillion ton wount feed 2 TRILLION TREES AND 45 TRILLION TON PLANTS
for an HOUR.

Co2 DONT go UP !! any ppm.
its still 270 PPM buy a hand held co2 meter and read it.

GLOBAL GREENTARDS FEAR A CO2 METER.

co2 is effective to 11000 feet and the tree line is not gtting higher
and co2 only mixes with nitrogen to nitrogens saturation point of 270
PPM.


the bottom of the sea is NOT 45 deg F as the gov noaa claims.
Noaa insist its 45 deg all the way down because they never corect thier
lies .
Its -10 at 15000 feet down.
