Archibald doing real science or 30 political yes men doing pseudoscience?... There is no comparison here Archibald has it hands down.You think David Archibald knows more than the dozens of PhDs involved in AR5's WG1?
Replicated science by others.. Ive done this
Archibald doing real science or 30 political yes men doing pseudoscience?... There is no comparison here Archibald has it hands down.
Now here is where you accuse me of character assassination for having pulled up a butt ton load of disqualifying FACTS about your SOLE source in response to your blanket condemnation of dozens of so far unidentified PhDs with no information whatsoever supporting that charge. So, take your "ad hominem" and shove it where the sun don't shine.
Abstract
Carbon-dioxide releases associated with a mid-Cretaceous super plume and the emplacement of the Ontong-Java Plateau have been suggested as a principal cause of the mid-Cretaceous global warming. We developed a carbonate-silicate cycle model to quantify the possible climatic effects of these CO2 releases, utilizing four different formulations for the rate of silicate-rock weathering as a function of atmospheric CO2. We find that CO2 emissions resulting from super-plume tectonics could have produced atmospheric CO2 levels from 3.7 to 14.7 times the modern pre-industrial value of 285 ppm. Based on the temperature sensitivity to CO2 increases used in the weathering-rate formulations, this would cause a global warming of from 2.8 to 7.7 degrees C over today's global mean temperature. Altered continental positions and higher sea level may have been contributed about 4.8 degrees C to mid-Cretaceous warming. Thus, the combined effects of paleogeographic changes and super-plume related CO2 emissions could be in the range of 7.6 to 12.5 degrees C, within the 6 to 14 degrees C range previously estimated for mid-Cretaceous warming. CO2 releases from oceanic plateaus alone are unlikely to have been directly responsible for more than 20% of the mid-Cretaceous increase in atmospheric CO2.
