My comment was to Billy Bob to back up his claim that current radiative forcing could be shown to be zero. He has a habit of making claims without ever providing supporting evidence. I long ago tired of his habits though I can see why they wouldn't bother you at all.
My evidence regarding the ocean's increased absorption of thermal energy begins with BTK's "Distinctive Climate Signals" and has been supported by at least six other studies including the two to which you introduced us in your OP here.
Your demand for a human fingerprint is obviously disingenuous.
Direct satellite observations still show the Earth to be accumulating radiant energy. Where do YOU think it's going?
Here it is one more time for the moron...
Below are two rates of warming from the Hadcrut3 lower troposphere. One is from the period 1900 through 1950 and the the other is 1951 through 2000. Below each is the rate of warming.
The trend for the period 1900-1950 is 0.51 deg C or 0.103/decade
This trend occurred before CO2 became a rapidly increasing according to the IPCC and is near or is the Natural Variational rate.
The trend for 1951-2000 is 0.50 deg C or 0.100 deg C/decade.
Now wait...
this means that the two rates of warming are statistically insignificant DESPITE the rapid rise in CO2 and equal to NATURAL VARIATION..
So by simple observation we can see the problem with the hypothesis of runaway temp caused by CO2. During the time they claim runway rise it was nothing of the sort and even given the rise in CO2 there was no discernible increase in that natural rise.
Even the EPA acknowledges that all warming prior to 1950 is NATURAL.. Using the Null Hypothesis, while we added CO2 should have resulted in natural variation PLUS the CO2 increase within its LOG Slope and multiplied by its positive forcings. But there is none!
I want to know how you alarmists stopped natural variation. Because that means you have control of the weather and climate already.
