Do you accept the IPCC's conclusions regarding the role of human activity in the warming observed over the last century?
Do you accept Michael Mann bullshitted his hockey stick graph?
[/quote]Do you admit the real motive for this deception is social economic change.
I hope you don't mind if I don't have full faith in their honesty.Are you unfamiliar with the IPCC's assessment reports?
Hey Steve, the President-elect has already started to back down on his statements concerning climate change and the agreements we have with other nations on that issue. Looks like he will shoot that wishes of the deniers dead in Central Park, and all you fellows will stand and applaud. LOLMy God.....some people in here don't realize we just had an election two weeks ago!!
But they soon will!!!
Could Trump Simply Withdraw U.S. from Paris Climate Agreement?
A brief history of Donald Trump’s denialist position on climate change
I hope you don't mind that we don't have any faith in your honesty. Nor in your intellect.
Given that you are ignorant of the science of radiative forcing of CO2 - which is a fundamental to climate science and widely accepted - AND that you are ignorant of CO2 data throughout the geologic record - which is well established and widely accepted - AND because you are ignorant of the oxygen isotope curve - which is well established for the Cenozoic and widely accepted - AND because you are ignorant of what the scientific principle and evidence tells us, your opinion of me is as meaningless as the graphic you posted which you know nothing about anyway.I hope you don't mind that we don't have any faith in your honesty. Nor in your intellect.

Can you tell me why the temperature change did not occur immediately after the massive CO2 drawdown from 3500 ppm to less than 1000 ppm?I hope you don't mind that we don't have any faith in your honesty. Nor in your intellect.

Are you stupid or lazy. I showed that calculation in post #51.What cooling rate did you expect? And how rapid do you believe that drawdown actually was? A million years?
So you don't believe radiative forcing is instantaneous? Then why do you believe it is instantaneous today? You can't have it both ways. It is the same formula used in the climate models and they don't baffle the change. The radiative forcing of water vapor is instantaneous. How else do you explain the warming effect of cloud cover during the night?Are YOU stupid? Your equation calculates a single temperature delta. It says nothing about rates.
Bull fucking shit.I have never said it was instantaneous. You're the one complaining about cooling being too slow. I guarantee you there are dT/dt to be found in any GCM that DOESN'T appear in your little Google treasure. The temperature of matter does not change instantaneously no matter how great the forcing. The change in effective temperature from cloud cover arises from moving from a situation in which you are radiating to deep space at 2K to one in which you are radiating to a cloud of water vapor well above 273K. It (the "instantaneous" part) has not a fucking thing to do with the absorption of CO2
Why? You are the one who is arguing against that the radiative force of CO2 does not act quickly when the data goes against your argument and then arguing that it does act quickly when it suits your argument. You can't have it both ways. I have no intention of arguing it one way or the other, my only intention is to shine a spotlight on your incongruity. Either CO2 drives climate change as you propose or it reinforces climate change as I propose. If CO2 drives climate change as you propose, then tell me why it took 12 million years for the temperature to reach the temperature change predicted by the radiative forcing of CO2 when CO2 rapidly decreased from 3500 ppm to 600 ppm.Oh goodie, a firm statement. So, please explain the process you believe underlies the rapid change in surface temperature between clear sky and cloud cover.
