Back on carbon dioxide monitoring, this youtube video is just an animation of the carbon dioxide monitoring time series. It shows the small variability in the Southern hemisphere compared to the North: YouTube - Time history of atmospheric CO2 Watching the Earth "breathe"

Why would you expect one above average year to produce clusters of years like the article Avro linked is referring to? ENSO patterns can last for multiple years, and have documented teleconnections.

Not really. Carbon is far down on the list of things affecting weather. It's about as important as considering the Hemisphere or Coriolis effect for direction the water will swirl as it goes down the drain.

You think this is proof? Corbyn's stated accuracy is a farce, he initially was making claims to vague to be verified. Then he started making more precise predictions, and he has been woefully wrong: James' Empty Blog: Corbynwatch: The Verdict James' Empty Blog: February Corbynwatch Then he...

Prove it.

How often do his predictions materialize? 49%, 50%, 51%? How often is often? Or is this blind faith on the part of contrarians?

Again, another old crank who has not spent his life studying climate, makes ridiculous claims, without attribution to physical principles, and most importantly without any semblance of actual analysis, and the so-called skeptics hop up and down like seals thrown a bit of chum. It's hilarious...

Large print...I see you're familiar with Walt's work. This article is more BS, and it takes more time to address all the nonsense that passes as science in the denial echo chamber than it does to throw together a poor piece of BS. Just look at the sea level for instance. The IPCC doesn't make...

It's winter, one degree warmer in winter is still cold. I know investors don't really work outside for a living, but they must have to walk through the real world at some point in their daily commute. You should go on a rubbish diet for the new year Walt. If the year 1998 appears in the...

Not make believe coal.

I imagine he would prefer a lump of coal :lol:

Have any of you heard about this? NY City has plans to introduce fees in the face of looming budget cuts: Francis X. Gribbon, the Fire Department’s chief spokesman, said the plan — a draft rule of which was published Thursday in the City Record — would include a range of fees. The highest...

This is a result that caught me by surprise, and no doubt quite a few others. In 2000 and 2001, there were record high returns of pink salmon in the Broughton Archipelago. In 2002 and 2003, the returning pinks were only 3 and 12% of the previous runs respectively. In 2001, the juvenile pink...

So, why do you trust these modelling results anymore than the model results that also identify the large human fingerprint in our climate? The models don't identify magnetic field changes, or incoming galactic rays, or increased solar brightness. Is it just the result that you like?

The central Pacific isn't the globe, and I never said it is ideal. Ideal would be many stations going back a century or more. If you're too ignorant to realize that despite the differences in annual signal, that all of the monitoring stations individual datasets track parallel changes in the...

I guess it was the latter. A genuine article.

Either you're playing dumb, or you're a genuine article...Do you see how those stations are tracking each other? The only significant difference is the size of the annual signals. Validation...look it up and learn.

Yeah, that's not news to anyone. Go to NOAA, download their global data, and then subtract Mauna Loa from that. It's insignificant. Compare Mauna Loa to other stations, and Mauna Loa runs right through them all. It really doesn't matter....because carbon dioxide is so well mixed. You could use...

Yeah...that's what I said, longer record. If you're interested in rate of change, and one dataset is statistically indistinguishable from the global data set, and is verified by other observations, like satellites and ice cores, then it actually is enough sampling. That's what validating does...

So, then how do you figure it will take 190 something years to double the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide? The growth rate is clearly exponential, yet your math is linear. Does not compute. Oh yeah, and people use the Mauna Loa record with good reason. First, it's statistically...
