It seems I was wrong. Idiots (...Georgie and Pépé,<br /><br />It seems I was wrong. Idiots (like you two) can't understand what an 'analogy' is, let alone what it means. I surprised with you, Georgie, in particular, with your experience of playing with your plastic toy ships in your bathtub.<br /><br />We could solve AGW if we could work out a way of stopping the oceans degassing CO2 (one of the processes that puts 190 billion tonnes of carbon in the form of CO2 into the atmosphere), while at the same time absorbing the same amount it does now. Then we could burn as much fossil fuels as we want.<br /><br />No, wait, that's geoengineering, which Georgie doesn't like and wants to try on other planets first (which other planet has oceans like the Earth?)<br /><br />Anyway, I understand that an experiment to do it - dumping iron filings into a small area of the ocean to encourage an algal bloom and trapping carbon - didn't succeed, because not enough of the algae sank to the sea floor to be permanently removed as sediment to have an effect.bachfiendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14752055891882312204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-58559190201415915502013-06-10T08:45:01.916-04:002013-06-10T08:45:01.916-04:00backfire,

Only an idiot would accept the bathtub analogy as representative of the earth's climate; in the same way only an idiot would accept random mutations + natural selection as a good (and only) explanation of the evolution of life on earth. <br /><br />Fortunately both climatism and evolutionism are being generaly recognized for what they really are: hoaxes!<br /><br />Pépéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00896283600100217146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-30024271606504031132013-06-10T07:54:04.576-04:002013-06-10T07:54:04.576-04:00backfire, that is perhaps the most absurd, ridicul...backfire, that is perhaps the most absurd, ridiculous analogy I have ever seen.

Not significantly.<br /><br />It considers only the processes putting CO2 into the atmosphere, not the ones taking it out.<br /><br />As an analogy, one that an idiot would understand, if you had a bathtub full to the rim, with a tap supplying 1000 litres an hour and a plug hole draining 1000 litres an hour, and then you turned on a second tap supplying 1 litre an hour, it's obvious that the bathtub would immediately overflow.<br /><br />Only an idiot would claim, that since the second tap is 'only' supplying 1 litre compared to the first tap's 1000 litres, it has very little to do with the bathtub overflowing. But it's the only reason.<br /><br />The same applies to AGW. Humans put 9 billion tonnes of carbon in the form of CO2 from burning fossil fuels and land clearing. 'Nature' puts in 190 billion tonnes and removes roughly the same amount. Hence, humans are responsible for most of the increase.bachfiendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14752055891882312204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-50431646454184126462013-06-09T19:00:47.515-04:002013-06-09T19:00:47.515-04:00Michael,

It's comparing models of mid-tropospheric temperatures 20 degrees South to North to observed balloon and satellite measurements.<br /><br />The "'missing' hot spot" loved by AGW denialists.<br /><br />There is no missing hot spot. www.csiro.au/en/Outcomes/Climate/Are-Climate-Models-Inconsistent.aspx<br /><br />The balloon measurements are sparse. There's a problem with the satellite measurements (various ones, orbital decay, calibration etc).<br /><br />It also doesn't deal with the level of the atmosphere in which we live. So it's a stretch to claim that this means that climate sensitivity to rising CO2 levels is so low we don't have to worry about it.<br /><br />I'm certain someone who knows more about climate will be dissecting Roy Spencer's article in greater detail soon (peer review is important, not just slavishly following denialist sites as you do).bachfiendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14752055891882312204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-41102789026825204862013-06-09T17:47:32.443-04:002013-06-09T17:47:32.443-04:00I like this part:

They surmise that brandishing a PhD will make the layman shut down critical thinking and accept their diktats. People are a lot smarter than that and can smell a dead rat (or frog) anytime. <br /><br />People are also becoming more suspicious of science and that is regrettable!<br />Pépéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00896283600100217146noreply@blogger.com
