Results for September 2009. Satelite measurements (UAH's Dr. Roy Spencer, skeptic extraordinaire) of the lower 8 km of the atmosphere show a huge anomaly (+0.42°C) and this is during that grand solar minimum that Walter keeps informing us of. NOAA data looks like this: Yup...

One what? You'll have to be more specific. That figure is just the temperature for September; it is not completely unreasonable to suggest that those same patterns might persist a bit longer...

Read your links...Minnesota and the North to have a warmer winter, Port Arthur to have a colder one. Ever seen a map like this: Port Arthur is in that big bluish state with the 18 in it...Minnesota is the red one with the number 110 in it. So, yeah...

Just a little tidbit of info for some of you. Water has a specific heat capacity about 3200 times higher than the air which is used to measure the surface temperature of the earth. The definition of specific heat capacity is the amount of energy as heat required to raise the temperature of...

Really? So we just had the warmest ocean temperatures ever recorded this summer, we have oceans continuing to accrue heat (post#281 above), thermal expansion continues. The correlation is to the noise in the system, which nobody really argues...and which part of the 80's and 90's makes for a 30...

Knows about as much as that BBC reporter...which amounts to about zilch.

Jamie has tried it. She said it was pretty bland.

Well Humboldts are very adaptable to temperature changes. The geographic centers of their distribution are very warm. They initially spread into Monterey Bay during a cold water phase in the Pacific. Previous to that they were only found there during warm El Ninos. It could be that the prey...

A fair approach. Even if all the radiative physics is somehow wrong, that won't save the oceans from acidification. Who likes jellyfish? Yummm....not.

Scenario A included no large volcanoes. In 1991 Pinatubo spewed millions of tons of aerosol into the stratosphere. The result was a one year plunge in temperatures. Thus Scenario A is not a useful comparison to what actually happened. Scenario B did include a volcano. Here's what the...

Everyone on this website is part of the unwashed masses that are impacted by any possible program... You should stick to reading people like Botkin, or John Cook's great website: Skeptical Science: Examining Global Warming Skepticism He's a former physicist who funds his own website, and...

They called numerous witnesses, not just Al Gore. Jim Hansen has testified before Congress multiple times on the subject. His projections from the early 80's are seminal, and have correctly projected the temperature rise to date. I'm saying there are better people than Gore to communicate what...

Sorry about the format...I didn't put those double block quotes in, they appeared somehow. Editing doesn't seem to get rid of them...

He's THE voice that some people hear. Only if you limit yourself to the muck in the popular media. That's half of the problem to begin with. The media likes to portray both sides of the debate equally (though not always), when they are disproportionate. Very few people believe that carbon...

I'm curious why you would want to see Gore debate this topic Ron. Debate as would come from that exchange would be filled with rhetoric. Is that a relevant technique amongst scientific communications? Not to my knowledge. I'd like to note that Phelim's claims in his documentary (trailer) have...

It never went away. Only if you focus on surface temperatures, and only if you use certain databases of surface temperatures... Looks like ocean heat content dominates the surface: And ocean heat content since 2003 shows no stop to global warming: Just where do you think the heat given off...

Higher temperatures means increased evaporation, doesn't necessarily mean more moisture in the air, just how much the air can hold. The soil becomes dry and compacted. What you end up with is more desert, and the rainfall events tend to be larger. With compacted soil, that doesn't do much for...

What a moron. I guess he's fine with dead oceans... And newsflash for the geologist, he may want to check out plant science. Plenty of agrologists are studying future scenarios, and when more CO2 is in the air, with higher temperatures and less moisture, (as projected for much of the world's...

YouTube - Acid Test: The Global Challenge of Ocean Acidification

Here is an excellent example of how these memes are created and propogated. Misrepresenting entirely what an expert says and then repeating the faslehood repeatedly. This is classic propaganda. Respectively, it's a disinformation and false testimonial, followed by repetition bordering on ad...
