Latest oceanic heat content shows warming of our oceans!

my point is the earth compared to the sun simply doesn't matter in the heating of all but maybe a few hotspots on the bottom of the oceans. The top 2,000 meters is 99% warmed by the SUN Or the Green house effect readmitting the ir radiations back towards them.

Loserterians live on a planet that thinks totally opposite of me. Living out in the outback somewhere or some swamp that believes we don't need our science institutions. jeezzzzzzzzzzzz


The Sun does all the heating.

The atmosphere, with or without GHGs, affects the heat loss and therefore the equilibrium temperature.

Greenhouse gases absorb IR from the surface and warms the atmosphere.

All but the smallest sliver of energy comes from the Sun to heat both the surface and the atmosphere. There is no heating of the surface by the atmosphere, only changes in the pathway of energy loss.
 
Hey Matt, why haven't you gotten back to me on historical OHC? I would be interested in your take on the subject.
 
FCT, you missed radioactive decay.

Hot spots from "biomaterial decay"?

Bad news for you son, life doesn't create heat. The exothermic reactions involved in the decay of organic material can release no more energy than was absorbed directly and indirectly by the processes responsible for the growth of that material while it was alive. And, in the majority of instances, it is far, far less. Over the long run, a stable population of lifeforms is a zero sum game regarding heat. We take in food whose energy content originated from the sun. We release it in processes which produce power and growth. At the end, that growth decomposes and releases the energy it held in chemical potentia.

Well you almost got that right. What with your overall conservation of energy and mass and all...

But -- Just didn't account for JUST the conversions involved with heat.... Plants use visible light as power source.. If that visible light hits a rock -- it warms and pretty immediately gives the heat back as IR and convective heat..

Visible light by itself is not heat unless it's absorbed.. Can't be absorbed as mere heat and used to power photosynthesis at the same time.. So plants don't store heat.. Never really took "heat" out of the living exchange..
((somewhat weak and ponderable since they do change albedo and provide shade at the surface.))
And the heat of decomposition in a bog or swamp or the bottom of a rain forest is extremely significant..

I don't know.... :dunno: Just congratulations on having a thought. Assuming it wasn't Wiki'd...

What's a SSurface "proxy" ??? And why should I care about top level water temps? It's just unmixed STORAGE of heat and not really a measure of atmos heating...

Seems to me to be equivalent to finding Global Warming by going around and taking the temperature of boulders and rocks...

Hahahahaha. The paper is paywalled. I don't have any more info than the SI. Apparently it has been sitting in the PAGES2K group for a few years and is now being released.

Another low (200 years) sensitivity proxy paper. But it does seem to confirm OHC was higher in the past. It will be interesting to see how they torture a hockey stick out of that data for the press release.
 
We don't have the data to prove it, all we know for certain is 2015 is the Warmest EVER!

So they say. Apparently they want to make sure this year's announcement doesn't put egg on their face like last year. Crank up the thermostat Gavin!

Abstract
The oceans mediate the response of global climate to natural and anthropogenic forcings. Yet for the past 2,000 years — a key interval for understanding the present and future climate response to these forcings — global sea surface temperature changes and the underlying driving mechanisms are poorly constrained. Here we present a global synthesis of sea surface temperatures for the Common Era (CE) derived from 57 individual marine reconstructions that meet strict quality control criteria. We observe a cooling trend from 1 to 1800 CE that is robust against explicit tests for potential biases in the reconstructions. Between 801 and 1800 CE, the surface cooling trend is qualitatively consistent with an independent synthesis of terrestrial temperature reconstructions, and with a sea surface temperature composite derived from an ensemble of climate model simulations using best estimates of past external radiative forcings. Climate simulations using single and cumulative forcings suggest that the ocean surface cooling trend from 801 to 1800 CE is not primarily a response to orbital forcing but arises from a high frequency of explosive volcanism. Our results show that repeated clusters of volcanic eruptions can induce a net negative radiative forcing that results in a centennial and global scale cooling trend via a decline in mixed-layer oceanic heat content.

Anyone got access to the paper to find out what proxies were used? (To put into the climate model)
 
Probably could fetch it thru Vanderbilt. I can only give "fair use" unless you want to meet me downtown Nashville for some live country music and a few adult beverages with you paying..

Sorry, won't be in Nashville. I was hoping to find out the type of proxies for you, lol.
 
here is a quote from one of the authors-
"Today, the Earth is warming about 20 times faster than it cooled during the past 1,800 years," said Michael Evans, second author of the study and an associate professor in the University of Maryland's Department of Geology and Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center (ESSIC). "This study truly highlights the profound effects we are having on our climate today."

20x faster??? am I missing something?

is he just claiming a hockeystick without actually publishing it? hahahahaha
 
Why do you laugh? Can you dispute his data? It seems not. And do YOU actually believe that if you can call something a hockey stick it's refutation is complete? The world's climate science work is filled with hockey sticks because that's what temperatures have done. You are certainly one of the best educated deniers on this board. If you think hockey sticks have been refuted, I see no hope for your cause. You would all be idiots then.

I am actually quite impressed by interactive presentation of the proxy data. And how they plotted out all the individual proxies on one graph to give a general idea the shape of the data that they were working with.

But the data doesn't produce a hockey stick . and like so many before him, Evans gave a press release with claims that are not supported by the evidence provided.

The data had already been collected by the AR5 deadline. If it had been the right shape it would have been included. But it wasn't, so it languished for four years. Finally published, it gets little publicity and one of the few press releases is a fabricated conclusion unsupported by the actual work. Par for the course in climate science.


Remember Marcott13 and all the giddy interviews that basically only talked about the one part of the reconstruction that had to be disavowed as 'not robust'? Evans still gets to make the alarmist claims but no pesky paper trail for the skeptics to unravel. Brilliant really. As long as you leave your integrity and honesty outside the door.

We LAUGH because these proxy methods are NOT thermometers. And they don't have the RESOLUTION in time to make sweeping generalizations about the rate of warming. So the data DOES NOT support the conclusion.. But
But But --- it's not actually a lie because the data -- which is VOID of any 100 or even 400 yr resolution -- and COULD NOT FIND a little spike like ours has 1000 yr rates and thermometers have 2 minute rates of measurement. So those claims are the grease that gets this work FUNDED and accepted at peer review..

It's grease.. not a lie.....
 
The rate of warming over the past one hundred years or so is not the product of proxies. The forcing required to create higher warming or cooling rates has not existed since the KT boundary event. The idea you and yours have repeated here, that extraordinary climatic events take place at random with no discernible cause, is horse shit.

That's a bold view of climate NON-variability. Just like they WANT to believe by showing those historical studies with no variation in them.. BUT ----------------------

You're gonna lose on this idea that idyllic climate had no natural variability in it for thousands of years at a time.

Do some work and compare the relatively barren (because the data has no great time resolution) famous Vostok chart to the HI RES ice studies done in Greenland. Narrower slice of time -- more samples. Less filtering.

It shows MULTIPLE wild swings of temperature (> 6 or 8degF) coming out of the last Ice Age that are nowhere in the Vostok record... So hold the horse shit and learn a bit about data preparation.
 
I didn't say it had no variability. I said it has had no variability at the rates we've created over the last century with our GHG emissions.
