Yes it is. You should form a strong, cogent and reasonable argument and rely on that instead of pointing to an expert's credentials as proof.
Trust me on this, I'm an expert in logical fallacies and internet memes
>>7172968
But then you can just say your argument is the authority's credentials plus whatever is said in their paper. Then it is a full argument.
>>7172987
The authority's credentials are meaningless. It's only what's said on the paper that you can use to form an argument.
>>7172995
But not all arguments in science can be logically true or untrue. Often, it becomes necessary to evaluate the trustworthiness of gathered evidence, as this can't be logically proven one way or another.
This is where the credentials of an author come into the picture.

I agree with you. but CO2 dissolving into the sea is not the same as global warming. Global warming is caused by the extra CO2 in the atmosphere, not in the sea.

Global warming isn't a human construct but the acceleration of global warming. Imagine that you have a blanket which absorb's infrared radiation while I run a microwave in front of you. The infrared radiation which is being produced at a constant will continue to be absorbed by the blanket and then released back on to body at a constant rate where it will be deflected or absorbed at a constant rate.. If we increase the density of the blanket we will absorb a higher proportion of the infrared radiation which in turn will release a greater quantity of radiation towards your body. As infrared radiation is heat you will continue to warm. Now if we changed the blanket for greenhouse gases (i.e. CO2 methane). which is great at absorbing radiation and which is also being produced now more then ever in recorded history global warming seems to be accelerating due to human interference.

Climate Change has been falsified.
There has been no warming in the troposphere for more than 18 years. Ben Santer said that 17 years was enough time to wait, because then you are outside the 95% confidence interval of the models. (2.5% chance to one side of the interval).
"Our results show that temperature records of at least 17 years in length are required for identifying human effects on global‐mean tropospheric temperature."
Paper: Separating signal and noise in atmospheric temperature changes: The importance of timescale. 2011, JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 116, D22105
The NOAA said 15 years is enough:
“Near-zero and even negative trends are common for intervals of a decade or less in the simulations, due to the model’s internal climate variability. The simulations rule out (at the 95% level) zero trends for intervals of 15 yr or more, suggesting that an observed absence of warming of this duration is needed to create a discrepancy with the expected present-day warming rate.”
Paper: http://www1.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/cmb/bams-sotc/climate-assessment-2008-lo-rez.pdf
15 years is long enough for climate scientist Phil Jones of Hadley Climate Research Unit:
‘Bottom line: the ‘no upward trend’ has to continue for a total of 15 years before we get worried.’
Source: http://di2.nu/foia/foia2011/mail/4199.txt
>nb4 Santer said "30 years"
NO he said 17. Show the exact quote from his 2011 paper that says you MUST wait 30 years.
The confidence intervals are such that the measured RSS temperatures are outside the 95% window. Since a confidence interval is symmetric, this means will probability p < 0.025

From my high school Chem
Acidicity is caused by hydrogen ions in water
CO2 combines with H20 to form H2CO3
CO2 + H20 - > H2CO3
H2CO3 is carbonic acid, it dissociates in water to form bicarbonate ions, HCO3, and H ions, causing acidity.
>>7174129
While that's true, the equilibrium constant for that is on the oder of 10^-3.
It does happen noticably, but no incredibly.
To clarify, acidity is caused by H30+ ions, not just H+.
>>7173008
Do you have any idea how small the Henry constant of CO_2 in water is?
>>7174136
I'm a dumbass. H3O+, not H30.
>>7174136
>It does happen noticably, but no incredibly.
Yeah because it takes an incredible difference to have a huge impact /s
Let's recap the list of real-world indicators these people are ignoring:
-extreme drought in the western US
-shrinking antarctic ice
-global disappearance of glaciers
-melting permafrost in Siberia causing massive methane explosions
-rising sea levels contaminating Florida's water supply with saltwater

>>7174403
>extreme drought in the western US
Their own fault. They have enough of water and money, but they use it for swimming pools instead of planning cafefully. It's a local effect that could be circumvented most easily if people there wasted less resources.
>shrinking antarctic ice
Every time I read the news there's another story, sometimes it's more, sometimes it's less ice.
>global disappearance of glaciers
I only heard about the Alps and Himalaya. That's not global. It's multi-local. Some glaciers melt naturally, some because of tourism. Stop the Himalaya tourism. It's retarded.
>melting permafrost in Siberia causing massive methane explosions
lel
>rising sea levels contaminating Florida's water supply with saltwater
Coastal towns are never safe. Just look at how the coastlines of the North Sea changed in the last 1000, 2000 years. Florida has major settlements and recorded history since like 100 years or so. People there didn't find a balanced way of settlement yet.
I admit that there are lots of antropogenic influences on the local environment. This was the case in many many places through history. But they simply don't add up to a global effect. It's only multi-local. I don't like the global temperature average graphs (they use many different methods combined and that's not reliable), and those warnings of 'more hurricanes, more extreme weather situations', and the media hype. It's retarded. I don't like how the media try to create a 'we' situation as in 'we are threatened' and the threat is not specific. Climate changes. That's intrinsic in the definition of climate. Climate researchers all use cars, electrical energy, computers, and fly with airplanes to their congresses. Destruction and pollution of the environment is very bad. But panic does not adress the problem.
>>7173488
>we are going to analyze temperatures in this particular way, because other ways of analyzing temperatures wouldn't agree with our hypothesis
>>7173117
lol wut. when will faggots ever learn to read data?
for example, the infograph you posted has a nice relatively flat area at about 0 degrees temperature change, which extends for the last 10,000 years. It is noticeably "warmer" here than almost any other period in the chart, except for the last interglacial over 125,000 years ago.
So. If anthropogenic global warming is so fucking dangerous, why is it that your own data show a natural and stable high period starting millenia before human industrial activities on any scale?
Could it be... gasp... that the data support the conclusion that there are so-called natural causes to earth's global climate fluctuations??
You cant even get the fucking hockeysticks without a) zooming way in and b) manipulating modern temperature records which they have been caught at multiple times.
Climate scientists who claim a consensus or even say that the data are strongly in support of APG are simply laughable.
For the record, I'm a post doc working on statistical analysis as a regular part of my daily activities in advanced materials research.
>>7174567
>lol wut. when will faggots ever learn to read data?
you still haven't mastered that lost art.
nobody EVER claimed that the Earth hasn't been this warm before. the issue at hand is the RATE OF INCREASE, which is entirely unprecedented and tends to fuck up ecosystems faster than organisms can adapt or geological feedbacks can adjust the temperature.
useful metaphor:
A Chicago cop pulls you over and tells you that your recent driving is against the law. You tell him that it's perfectly legal for your car to be where it is right now. To which the cop responds:
"yes, but two hours ago you were in Detroit."

a flat temperature trend for 16 years is a cause of concern?
>>7174557
>I only heard about the Alps and Himalaya. That's not global. It's multi-local. Some glaciers melt naturally, some because of tourism. Stop the Himalaya tourism. It's retarded.
How in the fuck do tourists cause glaciers to melt?
And the reason that there aren't receding glaciers everywhere is because THERE AREN'T FUCKING GLACIERS EVERYWHERE. In pretty much everywhere that there ARE glaciers, those glaciers are receding, usually DRAMATICALLY

Why are you guys even bothering
you aren't going to change anybody's opinion
You were told by the first five or so anons that this thread is bait
>>7174637
what's a cause for concern is that there are actually people like you who measure from the top of a strong upward excursion in 1998 (huge El Nino) to today's baseline. measure baseline to baseline, using a multi-year moving average, if you want accurate data.
it's like claiming that Sochi is suffering from a huge drop in population because there are fewer people there now than there were a year ago.
>>7174630

what part of 'you have to zoom way in to get the spike' dont you understand the significance of???
If I came to my superiors with lab data and zoomed it way in like that to build up a specific conclusion, i would get reprimanded first, and fired the next time.
But for some reason, when you tack on 'possible threat to human existence', then solid statistical analysis techniques can fly right out the window.
>>7174659
The hiatus is too long to be handwaved away. If you want to fabricate facts then go ahead but don't be surprised when we call you on your crackpot science.
>>7173101
You're remarkably uninsightful if you have the capacity to understand buffers while being incapable of realizing that adding a bunch of acid to a buffer system is a method of breaking it.
>>7174143
Do you have any idea of how acclimated sea creatures are to the current pH of the oceans? Even slight changes to both the global climate and ocean acidity will have an effect. What happens to the human body if you drop blood acidity to 7.0? You can't expect to make changes to the fundamental properties of a complex system and not see a drastic effect.
>>7174659
>measure baseline to baseline, using a multi-year moving average
I can make an alarming looking graph about galactic cooling if I cook the data and its presentation enough.
Also if a natural variability can hide the warming for almost two decades then it's also strong enough to give a multi decade warming signal that is misinterpreted as AGW when in fact our influence is zero.

>>7174666
well see, if there is an alleged effect over the past 100-150 years, the 10,000 year interval you mandate isn't really useful for shit.
the reason you don't zoom in on lab data is because with an experiment in a lab you're able to control your variables, meaning that there are ostensibly no new effects introduced late in the trial. this is not the case in geochronology; it's only in the past century and a half that humans have been extensively exploiting fossil fuels. THAT is why we're looking at a relatively short time interval: because it has a forcing in it that is entirely absent throughout the rest of the historical temperature record. if anything, the shortness of the interval in question is testament that there IS some strong effect in action; we've seen warming in the past century of a magnitude that usually takes thousands of years to happen.
also, you're still just focusing on T(t) and ignoring the issue of T'(t). fuck you and your satanic trips.
>>7174667
the point is that there IS no hiatus. In 1997-1998, temperature rose sharply due to a strong El Nino effect and then fell just as quickly shortly thereafter. temperature has continued to rise steadily since, and nowadays is about up to where it was at the height of that El Nino. And then ninny-hammers like you draw a line from the top of that brief spike to today's point and say, "look, it's only as warm today as it was sixteen or seventeen years ago!", completely ignoring the warming trend in between. It's cherry-picking at its finest.

It have been a lot warmer in past historic time. Current climate is cooler so we'd need a lot more warming to return to the true baseline. You're of course too busy focusing on the last handful decades to promote your alarmist doomsday cult to realize you're the real cherrypicker here.

Atmospheric temperature changes have flat-lined for 18+ years, as demonstrated here:
"McKitrick, R. (2014) HAC-Robust Measurement of the Duration of a Trendless Subsample in a Global Climate Time Series. Open Journal of Statistics, 4, 527-535. doi: 10.4236/ojs.2014.47050."

Good post. These idiots don't realize that when you take low-resolution (50 year mean), decorrelated data (temp proxies) you get a relatively flat line. Then tack on high-resolution instrumental data (1 month mean) and you get much more variance. Which is to say, a "hockey stick."
But the proxies failed. Pic related. Shows how the temperature proxies turned negative, so they cut them off and covered them up with temperature instrumental data to "hide the decline."

From the paper referenced in your post. An apparent leveling is evidence that certainly weakens the warming model, but doesn't actually falsify it. If you look at the past century's temperature records, we've seen periods with similar leveling-off that nonetheless fit into the longer-scale trend of warming.

What that article says is that by 2050, it might cost $500 billion per year to help nations deal with the effects of climate change. (That's not money to be given to scientists, but rather the costs of mitigating changes in climate.)
HEY, DO YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH THE SUBSIDIES FOR FOSSIL FUELS TOTAL ALREADY? $500 BILLION PER YEAR, WORLDWIDE.
So what you're saying is that the costs of managing climate change thirty-five years down the line are likely to approach the dollar amount that governments give to oil and coal companies already. When it comes to greed, the oil companies are still WELL AHEAD.

Antarctic sea ice extent is indeed rising, albeit slowly. Land ice is being lost from Antarctica in substantial amounts. However, the melting is NOT occurring over volcanic areas (you nitwit), but rather at the edges, where warmer water meets the ice. Because ice flows, that loss at the edges gets distributed into the interior. You don't have to be a genius to understand this.
Significantly, the loss of land ice is recent, dating back perhaps to the 1990s.

They used the actual temperature record (when available) in place of a proxy measurement. This is perfectly fine! I mean, if they KNEW from actual thermometer readings what the temperature was, and the proxy didn't agree with it, then the proxy shouldn't be trusted over the direct measurements.
Now, it's a valid criticism to say "if the proxy was inaccurate recently, why are you trusting its record of times before we had thermometer measurements?" But you morons never actually make that argument, but instead carry on about this thoroughly imaginary falsification of data because you're too thickheaded to understand the logic behind the methodology.

>From the paper referenced in your post. An apparent leveling is evidence that certainly weakens the warming model, but doesn't actually falsify it. If you look at the past century's temperature records, we've seen periods with similar leveling-off that nonetheless fit into the longer-scale trend of warming.
Wrong. 17 years of flat temps falls outside of the 95% confidence interval. Since the confidence interval is symmetric, that has a probability of 2.5%. Statistical significance happens at 5%. The theory has been falsified.
And why the reference to similar leveling off in the past? The is an argument AGAINST Man-Made climate change. Because it was Natural. The whole point is that this was supposed to be different because its man-made.
Just admit that Climate Change is unfalsifiable.

"Harming the planet" is a reference to any potential pollutant. That's a different argument. Let's stick with the subject. CO2 is not a pollutant. If anything, its plant food. It's been at MUCH higher levels in the past. This is really about politicians and the U.N. trying to get money, power and fulfillment of their political ideology.
Former U.S. Senator Timothy Wirth (D-CO), then representing the Clinton-Gore administration as U.S undersecretary of state for global issues, addressing the same Rio Climate Summit audience, agreed: “We have got to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic policy and environmental policy.” (Wirth now heads the U.N. Foundation which lobbies for hundreds of billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to help underdeveloped countries fight climate change.)
Also speaking at the Rio conference, Deputy Assistant of State Richard Benedick,said: “A global warming treaty [Kyoto] must be implemented even if there is no scientific evidence to back the [enhanced] greenhouse effect.”
In 1988, former Canadian Minister of the Environment, told editors and reporters of the Calgary Herald: “No matter if the science of global warming is all phony…climate change [provides] the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world.”
In 1996, former Soviet Union President Mikhail Gorbachev emphasized the importance of using climate alarmism to advance socialist Marxist objectives: “The threat of environmental crisis will be the international disaster key to unlock the New World Order.”
IPCC official Ottmar Edenhofer, speaking in November 2010, advised that: “…one has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. Instead, climate change policy is about how we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth…”
>>7175557
>The weather is a chaotic system, so it is naturally very difficult to predict exactly. Are you saying we aren't harming the planet?
You're trying to have it both ways. "its a chaotic system, we can't predict it! Yet we know we are harming it." NO. You don't. This is what drives me nuts about this pseudo-science. Can't predict anything, yet its so sure that whatever is happening is being done by us.
>>7174764
H20 has the same effect as CO2, apparently. So compare a room with essentially no humidity and a room with high humidity. There are obvious differences in the heat trapped.
>>7175676
Why do you so badly want Global Warming to not be true? You're jumping between extremes, just because weather is chaotic and hard to predict, DOESN'T mean we can't predict it. And just because we can predict it DOESN'T mean it's too chaotic and completely unpredictable. We can and do have it both ways. There is absolutely nothing pseudoscientific about it, it's complete fucking basic science in fact how do you feel being part of the 2% of brain dead retards the science world laughs at?

A large problem with citing data without reading the research is that important context is missed. For example, the satellites that collected the data varied in calibrations and orbit. Older satellites use Microwave Sounding Units while newer use Advanced Microwave Sounding units, and since they use different frequencies at different numbers, combining the readings is rather complex. Furthermore, most satellites have decaying orbits that must be accounted for, as it alters the accuracy of the MSU/AMSU. However, when they account for this fact and correct the data, people scream "They're cooking the data!"

The interesting thing about Earth is that significantly altering any of its spheres will also alter the other spheres. e.g. significantly altering the atmosphere will alter the hydrosphere, biosphere, and geosphere.
Consider when we were expelling a significant amount of sulfur into the atmosphere, creating a significant increase of sulfuric acid rain, which greatly influenced soil, life, and water in a largely negative way. This is not because sulfuric acid is inherently negative, but the quantities were too much and the change too sudden. The same can be claimed about CO2.

How fucking delusional do you have to still buy it when the proof of its failure is right in front of your fucking eyes. Compounded by damning email leaks revealing their deceptive and underhanded tactics.
Firstly, global warming is not solely a human construct. It has been going on since the beginning of Earth and is a natural part of our ecosystem. We, however, are accelerating the process to the point where not only is it detrimental but could cause the extinction of a shitload of species.
As to proof, there is no question that Earth is getting hotter. Every year you will hear on the news that they are getting record heat, and then that record will be topped the next year. 2014 was the hottest year in recorded history.
This is simply me stating facts. I'm not going to take the time to cite my sources but I encourage you to do research yourself so you don't have to be the guy bringing a snowball to the legislature and calling it proof global warming is a myth.
>>7177699
You didn't answer my question. I've looked at your graphs and data, and I also know the research papers they're affiliated with -- well, the graph is not from a research paper; it's made by Dr. Roy Spencer, posted on his website. Furthermore, the data Dr. Spencer used was cherry picked from a very specific area: the mid-troposphere, between 20N and 20S of the equator. This is easily confirmed.
However, Dr. Spencer never explicitly states this. Personally, I believe his intent was to trick people into sharing this graph, thinking the data shows something it does not. Regardless of his intent, people are doing such.
I will post a graph that calculates more than a single, hand-picked point.

Cherry picking usually is more specific than a globe-spanning band even if that band happens to be limited to tropics. But whatever, if it's so easy to confirm that this data is exclusively from the tropics then do it. Preferably with something appended that shows this cherrypicking makes it look cooler than if he had extended the latitude band.
>>7177764
Your best defense is blindly asserting what my position is and what I'll defend. You did not address the flawed data you posted/referred me to, nor have you answered my questions.

He did not explicitly state his purpose or the significance of the data. This is evidence by the fact that you linked the graph, thinking it was showing a global average. Furthermore, it shows that you didn't even read the graph you were using as evidence, since you asked for proof of the evidence coming from the narrow parameter.
>>7177798

Sigh. Perhaps you don't know much about Climate Change theory. The "greenhouse effect" is supposed to start in the mid-troposphere and be the strongest there. It is also where specific predictions, like Santer et al. (2011) were made for. Now that the predictions have failed, I guess you don't want to talk about it!
>>7173293
>>7177819
>You should read the explanations. That would allow you to at least form a strong argument instead of "I assume."
They are purposefully vague and devoid of substantive content. Nor do they actually correspond to the real changes. They talk about "homogenizing outliers." In the distant past, Urban Heat Island tainted data would be an outlier. So that would be corrected downward. So far so good. But there are much more Urban Heat Island tainted data now. So the outliers are now rural stations. They get corrected upward. Thus, old data is pushed down and new data is "corrected" up.
This is a grave mistake. All Urban data should have the Urban Heat Island effect subtracted from it period, end of story. Or better yet, don't use it. Instead of conveniently spreading it to rural data. Clean, non-urban temp data (NOT putrefied by homogenization) is about 0.5 degrees colder. That's right. About half of climate change is nothing but the Urban Heat Island effect!
>nb4 They compared Urban to rural data and they're the same.
They compare AFTER homogenization which means that the Urban Heat Island effect has been spread to the rural data. So of course its now the same. Doesn't change the fact that its now bad data.
Did anyone else see that Vice episode on climate change? It seems undeniable that at the very least there will be a meter increase in sea level. Also, at least from a point of view as someone unversed in climate change arguments but as a statistician, it seems inane to argue over global temperatures over a period of time so inordinately short and incomprehensible in relation to other periods. The last one hundred years are the most industrious years of humanity and it would be very challenging to deduce the effects of that in the short term.

This is a bunch of nonsense. Urban Heat Island effect can be easily seen and corrected by comparing urban regions to the regions around them. Then if urban region is hotter it gets corrected down. And this is exactly what homogenization does. How does homogenization taint data?

They correct past data(when UHI had less impact) to be COLDER and the present to be WARMER. And any station that shows anything uncomfortable such as a cooling trend is dropped or get some special manipulation because "undocumented instrument change" or "relocation" or whatever else they can cook up to fabricate its data set.
Their homogenization process does the exact opposite of it's intended purpose.
>How does homogenization taint data?
If your gold standard calibration target is wrong then everything calibrated according to it will also be fucked up.
Do you think image sensors or monitors calibrated with an inverted colour chart would somehow end up displaying correct colours?
If not, then why do you expect temperature charts homogenized with a fucked up target to somehow avoid corruption?
And no, they're not interested in accurate data, they generate media interest and hype, funding and so on. And any attempt to make it right will also lead to being ostracized.
Every system can be corrupted, systems that you aren't allowed to criticize are especially vulnerable as errors and corruptions are allowed to accumulate because interventions are forbidden, but somehow climate politics/science that enjoy this privilege is pristine, perfect and incorruptible?

So? Where is your evidence that those corrections are incorrect? The algorithm can be downloaded by anyone. If you think there is something wrong with it, you can point it out exactly. But you won't do that because your argument is based on the premise that climate change is not occuring, thus anything that shows climate change must be wrong. This is called begging the question. Until you can actually show what is wrong with homogenization your arguments simply amount to the fact that you don't like the conclusions.

You have done nothing to show that the temperature measurement is incorrectly elevated. The only one using faith is you. Again, your entire argument is simply that you don't like the conclusion, thus the method must be wrong. You refuse to actually show how the method is wrong, because you don't actually know that it's wrong. So who should we believe? Scientists who publish papers detailing the reasoning, process, and data behind their conclusion for all to see, or someone who has none of these things? Only a religious believer could be blind to the intellectual paucity of your position.

Seventeen and a half years. Not a flicker of global warming. The RSS satellite record, the first of the five global-temperature datasets to report its February value, shows a zero trend for an impressive 210 months.
The graph below shows no global warming at all for 17 years 6 months:

What are you babbling about? Earth's oceans have much more thermal mass than surface atmosphere. Any warming is absorbed by the oceans much more than the air.

I had to make a followup to the shittiest post I've seen all day.
""Climate change is real. There will always be uncertainty in understanding a system as complex as the world’s climate. However there is now strong evidence that significant global warming is occurring. The evidence comes from direct measurements of rising surface air temperatures and subsurface ocean temperatures and from phenomena such as increases in average global sea levels, retreating glaciers, and changes to many physical and biological systems. It is likely that most of the warming in recent decades can be attributed to human activities (IPCC 2001)." (2005, 11 international science academies)10"

Oh, wow. Now that, that is just sad.
You're either trolling, or you are seriously misguided. It keeps on coming out on how IPCC only works on buddy-buddy principle and completely ignores science in the process. This has been known for a while. This is the reason people have been forced to change their careers, not because their science isn't sound, but because IPCC constantly censors anything that isn't part of the hive mind.
Additionally, a lot of people on the list of agencies you have there, have been accused of, and found guilty of, some form of fraud. The most recent was chelean, if I remember correctly, for installing stations in fucking cities and near asphalt.
Additionally, as soon as it's proven that humans are not responsible for climate change, a great big load of those agencies dissappears over night.

You know, fortune tellers have a consensus as well. That must make it true, right?
Just because you ignore people from other (or should I say, actual scientific) fields giving you facts, doesn't mean they don't know more than you.
Humans release greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases demonstrably decrease the mean-free-path of thermal radiation. Therefore, greenhouse gases cause warming. As humans contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, humans contribute to warming. There isn't really a way to argue around this.

2001 is outdated as shit. 2009 also. The hiatus back then could still be handwaved away as a statistical anomality(which they did with great vigor while sweating bullets and praying to the climate gods for a continuation of their short previous warming trend), today it have been long enough that it invalidates the theory no matter how much you cry, manipulate land surface records and try to ridicule those who actually cares about the climate science and not just have an ideological faith in climate politics.
AGW is a dying fad in damage control mode and it's not going to be more pretty.
They are desperate to claim for everyone to do something because then they could shout "look it's working!" to save their own asses. Political inertia however is going to kill their stupid little scheme. Especially as people are waking up to the subterfuge and manipulation that have been going on.

If still you claim humans contribute to global warming, you have to claim humans contribute to global warming as well.

you have to claim humans contribute to global *cooling as well.
>>7179338
Humans release manufactured gases with many thousands of times the thermal forcing of CO2. The claim also does not change the basic laws of physics governing the emission and scattering of radiation. Furthermore, all claims that I have seen of this compare two graphs from different sources without error bars and then go "they don't match therefore CO2 can't cause warmming." From the previously stated physics argument, this is blatantly retarded. From a data analysis perspective, the argument is empty as the data sets are not being compared meaningfully.
>>7179333
Humans release CO2, a weak as shit greenhouse gas that at current levels would be too weak to separate from noise. To get around the impotency of CO2 as a greenhouse gas we add unobserved and unverified forcing variables that multiply the potency of CO2 as a greenhouse gas at a level that just happens to be backfitted to the natural temporary increase.
Natural factors stop the natural temporary increase, revealing the fallacious claim of forcings. Don't worry though, we can make several unverified claims and manipulations that would normally be crackpot science or fraudulent to explain the lack of warming away, because people are guilt tripped and have faith in feel-good environmentalist causes we can drag this damage control out for far beyond what would be possible in any other field.
Ooops this is dragging out, lets start to attenuate our IPCC reports every year and invent implausible mechanisms that explain away the hiatus until we retire and die so we avoid getting lynched.
Also step up the media damage control.

>>7179365
Have you actually read any of the papers you are trying to defend? You speak of error bars as if people doing climate research know what they are. You might know, I don't know, but they don't seem to. You speak of scattering of radiation, as if there is a well-known mechanism behind how that causes global warming. It all boil down to "fudging it until it fits". Seriously, read a paper or two. It's not science.
Additionally, CO2 is being advertised as evil and the
>manufactured gases with many thousands of times the thermal forcing of CO2
aren't even being questioned, as apparenty, they contribute a LOT less than CO2. Supposedly. So don't try that argument, because if those
>manufactured gases with many thousands of times the thermal forcing of CO2
are not that bad, then neither is CO2.
>>7179365
>manufactured gases with many thousands of times the thermal forcing of CO2.
So name a few that have an excess of 1000x the forcing of CO2. Even better, link me a list with the forcing listing of all major emitted gases.
Or did you just pull that out of your ass and hoped for no one to call you on it you silly little cultist?
>>7179406
Considering how weak the CO2 forcing actually is, pretty much anything you name will have stronger forcing. Like water vapor, the major contributor to greenhouse effect..
>>7179333
Hot air rises.
>>7179385
>Have you actually read any of the papers you are trying to defend?
All climate model papers I have seen include rather large error bars when in the context of a scientific paper. The error bars tend to go missing when the media gets a hold of them and when people want to compare it to real climate data in a negative way claiming that the model doesn't exactly fit the data.
>You speak of scattering of radiation, as if there is a well-known mechanism behind how that causes global warming
If I increase the number of scatters, the time between scattering events decreases. Assuming each scattering event sends the light in a random direction, which is not a bad assumption, then the amount of time for a given photon to escape increases with the number of scatters. As it takes longer to get rid of energy without a significant reduction in the amount of energy input, the system accumulates energy, which manifests as heating. So yes, there is a very well understood mechanism by which scattering causes heating.
>aren't even being questioned, as apparenty, they contribute a LOT less than CO2
A lot of this has to do with what the press take away from press releases. As for political agendas, they are largely divorced from science whenever it is convenient for them to be. Since the media understands "CO2 causes warming," that is what most people will hear and that is what most politicias will focus on. Who cares about hexa-meta-whatcha-callit when no one that votes for the politician has heard of it?
>>7179352

>the oceans decided to appear and steal all warming for the last 18 years.
What are you talking about? It has nothing to do with the oceans "stealing" warming. The oceans show Earth has been warming over the last 18 years and before that. So does the surface temp data. The meme that there hasn't been warming for X years is based solely on mid-troposphere temps which have been misidentified as surface temps.
>Show the accurate part of the homogenization algorithm corresponding to real world raw data. Until you do this you are just arguing from your biased love of the conclusion, so your opinion is worthless.

http://www.clim-past.net/8/89/2012/cp-8-89-2012.html
There are also studies on specific inhomogenities like the Urban Heat Island effect, showing that homogenization does remove them:

It's basically an assumption with about 5 unknowns that are fixed so as to make a pretty picture. That's not fucking science and don't claim otherwise.
Additionally, large error bars mean bad science. Large error bars mean cooling is possible.
Fuck, large error bars order of degrees mean you can not claim warming over past 100 years to be in order of degrees. Again, climatology isn't science.
>>7179456
I'm not claiming anything, you are. I only said CO2 is not that strong of a greenhouse gas and water vapor is a much stronger one. I think CO2 is somewhere between spot 10 and 100, with a factor of about 1000 from the first place. Been a while since I read on that.
>>7179455
>so what exactly did give humans souls, if not god?
Supposedly there's been no warming or cooling for close to two decades now. Not saying there's no warming going on, I'm just saying that question, at this point in time, is more of a religious one, than scientific one. Climatology isn't science.
