blizzard1024 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 can anyone explain these energy diagrams?? This one is from Stephens et al 2012. see If one looks at the error bars its outrageous!!! The total greenhouse effect is 345.6 W/m2 according to this. But the error is plus or Minus 9 W/m2!!!!! Doubling CO2 concentrations leads to 3.7 W/m2 barely 1% and within the error bar range!!! Also look at the surface imbalance of .6 w/m2 plus or minus 17 W/m2!!! are you kidding?? Look at all the error bars and they are all at least as high as the effect of doubling Co2 if not much greater. How can climate scientists explain this uncertainty? Plus a 1% change in the natural greenhouse effect really is going to spiral the climate off the rails??? The more I look into this the more I realize how bad the science is. The Earth may be warming some but it could be mostly natural as there is plenty of evidence of a medieval warm period and LIA. We are coming out of the LIA. How can you disapprove this when there is so much uncertainty in the energy balance diagram??? And to top it off the TOA imbalance is deemed as .6 w/m2 with a very small error bar of .4 w/m2? How can this be?? does anyone have access to this paper? I would like to read it. UGH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blizzard1024 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Man the denialists are out in force today. Don't call people denialists. Many are the real scientists who understand enough about science to question climate change. Plus how do you know that someone on this forum did not have a relative killed in the holocaust. The idea behind denialist is to equate them to the holocaust deniers. IMO this is a very serious ad hominem attack on certain people. This person and others should be warned IMO. This is a very serious allegation and could be quite offensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloridaJohn Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Definition of denier : one who denies <deniers of the truth> Simple Definition of deny : to say that something is not true : to refuse to accept or admit (something) I don't see anything about the holocaust in there. Please do not make connections where none exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Global_Warmer Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Upper ocean ohc is extremely high attm. And what's wild is the nino ohc loss has been weak compared to similar ninos. Maybe the heat uptake is "stronger" than before causing ohc to be higher relative to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is another reason why the "denier" name calling is offensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 It's like deja vu with Blizz every single month. I've tried to explain to him the sfc temp record adjustments...he listens for a brief time but then comes back weeks later as if the discussion never happened. Probably 95% of the people who post on the temperature datasets don't actually know what goes into them. It takes a long time to read about them....we're not just talking about reading an abstract or a blog post at skeptical science which will probably cherry pick the parts they want to make their overall point. I think I have probably spent a collective 200 hours reading on the exact methods of what they do to the surface datasets. It's grueling what they do on these datasets...and it still ends up only being semi-accurate despite the efforts. But it's good enough for what we need with them. We get the general trends right. One thing I have learned though is ignore the claims on "error bars"...they are basically garbage. The error bars are only as accurate as the data plus adjustments they do on the data. If they find some new adjustment, or previously unaccounted for data, then you can get a solution easily outside the previous error bars. If people want temperatures with no adjustments, we have a dataset (for the U.S. only)...but it's still pretty new. It's the USCRN (different from USHCN which is the dataset currently used). USCRN is a network of stations that are placed in pristine siting locations and need zero adjustments...but it's only been around for about 12 years, so it needs another couple decades to start being useful for trends.

BillT Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 the climate is just a set of statistics, the average weather stats from the previous 30 years for a given area.......the climate is NOT a force, has no power and has never been the cause of any weather event........

Why is it inconvenient to them? Do they own stock in fossil fuel companies? Ironic thing is these "conservatives" should be opposing fossil fuel and pipeline companies because they are now using eminent domain to seize private property and paying police to forcibly remove people where they want to build dangerously explosive pipelines.

And do you know what the life expectancy is in tropical regions? Nasty infections abound!

Sadly some 'scientists' are in the pay of corporations and they spread ignorance to fuel the for profit agenda of those who employ them. Exxon, Merck, Philip-Morris, Monsanto, Dow, DuPont and a few others come to mind. Fortunately all of these have been exposed with Freedom of Information Act requests.
