AGW Meets the Bologna Detection Test

[LaDexter]

As for your other question, think of Earth as a room with two AC units - Arctic and Antarctic. Right now, the Antarctic is on average 50F colder, has 9 times the ice, and puts/calves 9 times the ice into the oceans, some 46 times the molecular H2O the Mississippi puts into the Gulf. Hence, one Earth polar circle cools Earth a lot more than the other. If your AC unit has settings from 0-off to 10=maxcool, then the Arctic AC is currently set on 1 and the Antarctic AC is set on 9.

See what that looks like

How does the AGW "theory" fare?

Really well. Passes every one of those.

Too bad you half-witted, anti-science denier cult dingbats are too stupid, ignorant and brainwashed to understand that. Too bad you are such gullible idiots that you can be bamboozled into imagining that all the rest of the scientists are somehow corrupt or stupid.

In the real world of actual science.....

The American Geophysical Union (AGU) statement, adopted by the society in 2003, revised in 2007,[59] and revised and expanded in 2013,[60] affirms that rising levels of greenhouse gases have caused and will continue to cause the global surface temperature to be warmer:

“Human activities are changing Earth’s climate. At the global level, atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping greenhouse gases have increased sharply since the Industrial Revolution. Fossil fuel burning dominates this increase. Human-caused increases in greenhouse gases are responsible for most of the observed global average surface warming of roughly 0.8°C (1.5°F) over the past 140 years. Because natural processes cannot quickly remove some of these gases (notably carbon dioxide) from the atmosphere, our past, present, and future emissions will influence the climate system for millennia.

While important scientific uncertainties remain as to which particular impacts will be experienced where, no uncertainties are known that could make the impacts of climate change inconsequential. Furthermore, surprise outcomes, such as the unexpectedly rapid loss of Arctic summer sea ice, may entail even more dramatic changes than anticipated."

In 2006, the Geological Society of America adopted a position statement on global climate change. It amended this position on April 20, 2010 with more explicit comments on need for CO2 reduction.

"Decades of scientific research have shown that climate can change from both natural and anthropogenic causes. The Geological Society of America (GSA) concurs with assessments by the National Academies of Science (2005), the National Research Council (2006), and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2007) that global climate has warmed and that human activities (mainly greenhouse‐gas emissions) account for most of the warming since the middle 1900s. If current trends continue, the projected increase in global temperature by the end of the twentyfirst century will result in large impacts on humans and other species. Addressing the challenges posed by climate change will require a combination of adaptation to the changes that are likely to occur and global reductions of CO2 emissions from anthropogenic sources."[66]

The American Meteorological Society (AMS) statement adopted by their council in 2012 concluded:

"There is unequivocal evidence that Earth’s lower atmosphere, ocean, and land surface are warming; sea level is rising; and snow cover, mountain glaciers, and Arctic sea ice are shrinking. The dominant cause of the warming since the 1950s is human activities. This scientific finding is based on a large and persuasive body of research. The observed warming will be irreversible for many years into the future, and even larger temperature increases will occur as greenhouse gases continue to accumulate in the atmosphere. Avoiding this future warming will require a large and rapid reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions. The ongoing warming will increase risks and stresses to human societies, economies, ecosystems, and wildlife through the 21st century and beyond, making it imperative that society respond to a changing climate. To inform decisions on adaptation and mitigation, it is critical that we improve our understanding of the global climate system and our ability to project future climate through continued and improved monitoring and research. This is especially true for smaller (seasonal and regional) scales and weather and climate extremes, and for important hydroclimatic variables such as precipitation and water availability.

Technological, economic, and policy choices in the near future will determine the extent of future impacts of climate change. Science-based decisions are seldom made in a context of absolute certainty. National and international policy discussions should include consideration of the best ways to both adapt to and mitigate climate change. Mitigation will reduce the amount of future climate change and the risk of impacts that are potentially large and dangerous. At the same time, some continued climate change is inevitable, and policy responses should include adaptation to climate change. Prudence dictates extreme care in accounting for our relationship with the only planet known to be capable of sustaining human life."[71]

Leave it to the resident 'tard to immediately trot out the "APPEAL TO AUTHORITY" logical fallacy, that Sagan so eloquently described.

Thanks moron! You make life worth living!

I've got a better idea. Let's leave it to the resident Westwall to falsify the CO2 absorption and emissions spectra, the rising level of CO2 in the atmosphere, the Earth's rising temperature, the satellite detection of a growing radiative imbalance at the T0A and the direct detection of backradiation from the night sky that matches the spectrum of CO2.

Should be simple.

the Earth's rising temperature

s/b "the warming of growing urban areas due to URBAN HEAT SINK EFFECT"

There, corrected.... since nothing else shows any warming at all.
