Cowards lack specificity. You are a coward unless you specify what you disagree with.
1. Earth ice is determined by the position of land
2. The actual climate data completely rejected a theory of CO2 causing temperature change
Just to clarify your position, could you answer a coupla questions?
The Earth's surface radiates about 400W but solar insulation at the surface is less than 200W. Do you agree or disagree that the Greenhouse Effect is supplying the extra energy needed to close the energy budget.
If yes to the above, do you think CO2 contributes to the Greenhouse Effect? If the answer is no, then why not?
I am not arguing the amounts due to the recent changes in CO2, I am arguing the whole effect.
This is all the proof anyone needs to conclude the obvious - that CO2 has nothing to do with Earth temperature change...
Key claim against global warming evaporates
"For years, skeptics of global warming have used satellite and weather balloon data to argue that climate models were wrong and that global warming isn't really happening.
Now, according to three new studies published in the journal Science, it turns out those conclusions based on satellite and weather balloon data were based on faulty analyses.
The atmosphere is indeed warming, not cooling as the data previously showed."
"faulty analyses" = anything that shows NO WARMING
In reality, the balloons and satellites showed NO WARMING in the atmosphere in 2005 and the data from both correlated - in 1998, for example, the then "warmest year (for surface of growing urban areas only) on record," both balloons and satellites recorded a cooler than normal atmosphere.
If you have two and only two measures of the same subject, and those two measures produce highly correlated data, what grounds does a real scientist have to challenge the data?
A: NONE
Increasing CO2 did not warm the atmosphere... until the Tippy Toppiests fudged the data in 2005...
So....no answers to my specific questions, and another rant. With a link that disputes what you say.
Stupid of me to expect anything different. Carry on then.
