There are posts, cut and paste posts, and cheap posts. What's your beef with statistics? Do you invest money, do you listen to financial advisers? Do you enjoy beer? Seriously, you can't be so dense to be incapable of understanding why one week of weather in an area less than 0.1% of the...

Not according to Tonington, according to multiple studies of climate and statistics. ;)

Ahhh. Invariably, the same old tired irrelevant points comes out with each change in seasons, although it's not in this snip job. Check out the graphs Walter on the top of this page and the last post of the last page. Weather is variable, very variable. I'll post the graphs here again in case...

No, I'm saying any of those eight year trends would need to go up to 0.5 C or greater or down to-0.2 C or lower to be anything other than noise in the climate system. It becomes more obvious when you increase the trend to 15 years. The spatial and temporal aspects mean that as you increase...

My aim wasn't to produce an explanation of the science of hurricanes. Just too highlight why forecasts are difficult, and the things that happened this year. Global warming is a different beast. The mean in the 8 year trends of this graph is close to the long term trend at 0.19 degrees a...

I'd be careful about making claims that a warmer ocean means more hurricanes. Hurricanes are a weather event, and while warmer waters do mean stronger hurricanes, there are many other things they bring about that can shift patterns to a less favourable conditioning for hurricane development...

Glaciers and Ice sheets are not like the ice cube analogy. Instead it's like dropping water into a full glass. Warming oceans also expand. Thermal expansion. Even without thermal expansion, the water contained in Greenland, and Antarctica is enough to raise the sea level several meters.

One of the drivers is the sun. Some changes are unrelated to solar changes. But you didn't answer my question. Yes some of those events are generally accepted, others are not. But did they cause the rise we see now? If so, how? What was the radiative change to the climate. That should be easy...

First off, theres a difference between tropospheric sulfates and stratospheric sulfates, not chemically, but in how they interact. Areas producing sulfates now, are not reaching the stratosphere, and not large enough to produce a significant forcing that would mask the positive forcing trend...

:smile:

Any reason why you're duplicate posting, or did you forget you cut and pasted this already, and only 4 days ago?

Well, I think it safe to proclaim this your best snip job yet Walter. I hope you heed the advice of this author. My only beef is that he selectively only portrayed one side as guilty of the accusations he made. There is a plethora of junk media stories on the subject, and they hail from both...

Ummm, bullsh|t. There are many areas of the world where malaria carrying mosquitoes are resistant to DDT. Of course I wouldn't expect the factually challenged editorializing cracker jack box journalists to know that. People are perishing from malaria, because of malaria, not a DDT ban. That...

Oh it's the sun's orbit, around the milky way perhaps? Milankovitch must have missed that one....

I have searched for the studies. I didn't find any study, except the misquote from Rasool in 1971. The other entries come from non-academic sources, which is ample reason to distrust any mainstream media stories, without the corresponding studies to back up the editorializing. All that...

Not all releases of greenhouse gases are global warming and not all are from oceans, but close enough. Initial Eocene warming was driven by volcanic basin interaction with clathrates, according to A. Malthe Sorenssen. Nope, not what I said. My point is, where is the climate driver that proceeded...

I'd stick with Walter though, being called by Somebody could get confusing in conversation ehh?:lol:

Leftist BS? Read up on a subject before you spew your verbal diarrhea. You are under the impression there is no land under Antarctica? You're in over your head Jim, and you should fire your assistants.

The Southern Pole is a continent, the ice is above water for the most part.

The polar caps are floating ice, and melting polar ice is the same as placing an ice cube in a glass of water. When the cube melts, there is very little change in the volume of water left in the glass. Ice sheets on Greenland and Antarctica are above water, so if they melt, they add that volume...
