The science against climate change

"the solar conditions that brought the globe out of the LIA have not noticeably decreased therefore we have reason to believe a significant portion of the warming both in the past and recently have a solar component, unlike what we have been told by many climate alarmists who claim that solar activity has no impact on the imbalance that is causing an increase in temperature".

sorry if I misinterpreted your meaning flac

I think thi is a valid argument - except for the fact that the solar project Flac presents here SORCE is a Nasa project, and Nasa specifically state that human acitivity is linked to climate change.

If NASA is part of this global conspiracy - why are they conducting research of solar activity?

I think there is a lot to learn form SORCE and from studying solar activity - but NASA are also clear about what it is and what it is not likely to reveal.
 
Antarctic sea ice set another record this past week, with the most amount of ice ever recorded on day 256 of the calendar year (September 12 of this leap year). Please, nobody tell the mainstream media or they might have to retract some stories and admit they are misrepresenting scientific data.

..and meanwhile down south..
 
No. Your theory fails hard in accounting for the observed data. The AGW theory does account for all observed data, and is the simplest theory that does, therefore Occams supports it.

Sure, when the observed data is cherry-picked and massaged and altered and invented.

Floods = manmade global warming
droughts = mamade global warming
forest fires = manmade global warming
mudslides = manmade global warming

see how it accounts for every event reported on the Weather Channel?
Manmade global warming causes everything.

And.....Frank concedes the debate and goes back to mindless spamming.

And for a moment there, I actually thought you were going to discuss the topic!

And YOU ignore that the output of sun has INCREASED by 1.2W/m2 since 1700s.. I'll take Franks comment over your investment in understanding the issue anyday...
:mad:

No, I answered that in #97.

I answer every ontopic and coherent comment I see - unfortunately thus far neither Daveman nor Frank have made one.

You have posted a few - I've responded to them all.
You're a damned liar.
 
EVERYTIME anyone posts a historical chart of TSI --- YOUR gurus pull a sunspot chart out their ass and tell you nothing's happened.. To understand the TRUE story -- you first have to realize that you've PURPOSELY been deceived.... So the myth of CO2 induced warming can survive....

Yes...and the CIA blew up the Twin Towers, the Jews faked the Holocaust...

This makes no sense at all. Scientiists all over the world, in perhap a thousands univerities and reearch labs in a hundred countries and a doen disciplines - all part of some massive evil conspiracy.

It simply is not a creidible argument - anymore so than Dave's idea that the UN is bent on installing a gobal socialist government led by German conservatives.
Where did I say that? Oh, I didn't. Just another lie from Saigon.

So you're saying NASA has arrived at its conclusions before the research is complete?

Yes, most AGW supporters do that.
 
Dave -

If you want to have a go at the topic, by all means do so, and I promise to respond to it.

The topic here is scientific evidence or alternative theories to so-called "AGW".
 
1.2W/m2.. When you understand the significance of that number -- you'll be able to look beyond the spin and the hype..

Can you explain the significance of 1.2W/m2 to me yet Saigon??? If you can't --- we're done...
 
Flac -

I understand what you think the importance of the number is - but I don't see terribly many scientists backing your position.

Given I am not a trained climatologist nor expert on solar radiation myself, I tend to rely on the opinion of people who are. People such as the NASA people running the SORCE program, for instance.
 
Please continue relying on POLICY STATEMENTS and not Science.. However --- until you want to follow REAL scientific arguments and DEFEND your position -- We are totally done here.

O.R. at least ATTEMPTS to provide SCIENCE to refute the significance of the 1.2W/m2 increase in solar heating.. like HERE ----> http://www.usmessageboard.com/envir...nce-against-climate-change-8.html#post6019844

But you don't weigh in because you don't realize how ridiculous it is for NASA to inject that certainty statement about all this warming is SOLELY DUE TO MAN on the same page as that graph of solar TSI..

If you understood -- you'd laugh and cry at the same time.. I can't help you... Have a nice day...

Does NASA do real science?

I notice you used them as a source yesterday, so I assume you believe they are.

Most climate scientists agree the main cause of the current global warming trend is human expansion of the "greenhouse effect"1 -- warming that results when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from Earth toward space.

NASA has a lot of departments. I have seen many of their reports that contradict the findings of GISS. UHI and clouds come to mind
 
Saigon what caused the northern US and Canada to deglaciate these past 14,000 years?

Any thought?

5. Conclusions
We have shown that there is an evident causal decoupling between total solar irradiance and global temperature in recent periods. Our work permits us to fix the 1960s as the time of the loss of importance of solar influence on temperature. At the same time greenhouse gases total radiative forcing has shown a strong Granger causal link with temperature since the 1940s up to the present day.

Our results obviously suggest the need for further research to investigate in greater depth the causes of this Sun-temperature decoupling, but, at the same time, they appear as a clear contribution to the debate on the causes of recent global warming.

Total yip yap... Do you see any evidence that TSI in the 1960s allows them to rule out solar influence? Look at the damn chart... And understand what you're reading...

Abstract
The Sun has surely been a major external forcing to the climate system throughout the
Holocene. Nevertheless, opposite trends in solar radiation and temperatures have been
empirically identified in the last few decades. Here, by means of an inferential method—the
Granger causality analysis—we analyze this situation and, for the first time, show that an
evident causal decoupling between total solar irradiance and global temperature has appeared
since the 1960s.
Keywords: sun–temperature relationship, Granger causality, causes of recent global warming

Bad news OR, Saigon ignored this. I don't think he even skimmed it

Environ. Res. Lett. 7 (2012) 034020 A Pasini et al
In a previous paper (Attanasio et al 2012), we considered
bivariate analyses between natural or anthropogenic forcings
and global temperature, and found GHG Granger causality
effects on temperature since the 1940s, while TSI and other
natural forcings do not Granger-cause temperature in the
same period. Here, due to the evidence that natural variability
affects temperature behavior on decadal time scales—see,
for instance, DelSole et al (2011) and Wu et al (2011)—we
extend our information set to one of the indices of the
Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), the Atlantic Multidecadal
Oscillation (AMO) or El Ni˜no Southern Oscillation (ENSO).
As is well known, a trivariate extension gives to the Granger
technique a better reliability with respect to a bivariate
analysis (see, for instance, L¨utkepohl 1982).
In this paper the recent climatic role of the Sun is
investigated in this trivariate framework.

Pot, meet kettle.
 
Frank -

If you wish to present a case that climate change is caused by solar radiation or sunpots - by all means go ahead.

If you wish to have a go at making a point based on Old Rock's material - feel free to do so.
