I'm not a scientist or a "Climate Researcher" or someone paid to post my propaganda on Internet Boards. I was a financial analyst back before the PC and am now doing real estate development.
I've been reading and analyzing the various "theories" put forth by the AGW proponents for about a decade now and my criticism of their methodology has increase proportionally to the sum of their refusal to provide any direct lab work plus their compounded credibility damage by calling skeptics "DENIERS!!"
The latest problem involves logic and math. Supposedly, the heat trapping caused by an additional 120PPM of CO2 has raised global temperature .9 degrees over the past 150 years (I will use number provided by the AGW "scientists" and not dispute their method, veracity or basic honesty).
OK, so for the entire planet: land, air and water, we have a .9 degree increase.
With me so far?
Now, according to the people who tell us that they're using Climate Change to redistribute wealth, "Since 1955, over 90% of the excess heat trapped by greenhouse gases has been stored in the oceans (Figure from IPCC 5thAssessment Report)."
Ocean Warming
So, 90% of the heat is trapped by the oceans, but water requires much more heat to increase temperature than a similar volume of air. Not 700 times as some have suggested, but rather 4 times.
"About one unit of heat energy is needed to warm the air one degree Celsius. Four times more heat energy is needed to warm the water one degree Celsius"
Physical Properties Water Chemistry Temperature from Discovery of Estuarine Environments DOEE
Water has a specific heat of 4.186 J/g degreesC, versus air, which has a specific heat of 1.005 J/g degreesC.

So, if 120PPM of CO2 has raised the temperature of a system where 90% of the heat is trapped by water, which takes 4 times the energy to heat than air by .9 degrees, you would expect that 120PPM would raise the temperature of air alone by a full 4 degrees.
So, why can't any climate scientist show us this 4 degree increase from a 120PPM increase in CO2?
