I'm new here but saw where someone asked about the rate of temperature increase from 1998. From the NASA data file the 2015 global temperature was 0.855 C above the base period. The 1998 anomaly was 0.63 C above the base period. That difference was 0.225 C over an 17 year period which calculates to 0.013 C per year. At that rate by 2100 the temperature would be an additional 1.125 C above the 2015 value.


We do not have the ability to measure or calculate anything like a global temperature. We simply do not have the instrumentation for it.

Anyone who claims a global temperature is manufacturing data.

So you keep saying, but you're talking total nonsense of course.

If it was nonsense then the antenna would not work and it would take 10 times as long to produce an antenna that would work as it would be trial and error instead of analysis. It's apparent you don't understand the concept but that doesn't make it nonsense or false. I will assume from your reply that you have no interest in the evidence. And that's unfortunate.

I was replying to Into The Night's comment, not yours!

You clearly do know what you're talking about. Into The Night, on the other hand, remains convinced for reasons of his own that scientists are incapable of measuring a change in the Earth's temperature. Statistical methods are simply voodoo as far as he's concerned, but then he does tend to struggle with the simplest of calculations.

I'm sorry about the mix-up Detail and thanks for the comment. As I said I just got here and I'm sure it will take a few posts to get the hang of things. Haven't figured out how to reply to another post yet.

Statistics cannot save you.

The problem is simply not enough sampling points. Temperature can vary by as much as 20 deg F in a single mile. A thousand thermometers in the city will not compensate for no thermometers in the mountains nearby. Vast regions of the world have no thermometers at all.
Satellites won't even help you. They are nothing more than a moving thermometer at best.

Weighing the existing ones is not a valid statistical technique. The randomness of the sample is not independent of the sampling method.

The other problem is also one of definition. Do you include the air above the surface? How high? Do you include the ocean water? How deep? Do you include the material under the surface? Just what is the global temperature drawn from?

I asked you this on another thread. Guess you didn't see it but here it is again. You seem to be very familiar with statistical analysis. That being the case, how many thermometers would it take to be sufficient to accurately measure an increase in the global temperature?

Though, in fairness, I didn't use it to get out of a losing argument without admitting I was wrong, so I guess I didn't quite mock you as accurately as I could.

I only gave away the beginning. I never mentioned that 2020 is thereafter set to be declared the hottest year of the instrument record, followed by 2021 and 2022. By then the Church of Global Warming will perform the most awesome disappearing act.

...but this is just between us. Close hold.

Yeah, no argument except for the multiple arguments that you ran away from with a fallacious claim of fallacy. *shrug*

Just admit it, you don't want a fact-based argument that leads to the truth, you just want to be right. If you didn't, you'd admit when you're incorrect instead of just shouting "argument of the stone" at the top of your lungs every time someone makes detailed, point-by-point rebuttals of your arguments.

Try not leveraging ANY fallacies and see how that works out. I realize there are fallacies galore available for every situation, especially for people like you who need standard fallacies to cover your scientific illiteracy, but you can pretty much count on being called on them every time.

It might be a novel idea but just cut out the fallacies completely. Go cold turkey. It might be the best decision you've ever made.

Just admit it, you don't want a science-based argument that leads to the truth, you just want to be right.

Look, in any given discussion, when one of your arguments is rebutted, it's rebutted. If you revert to repeating that same argument without addressing how it was rebutted then you are committing a fallacy (of the stone) and it's on you. The problem is on your end. You are the one effectively shutting down the discussion, presumably because you don't want to get to the truth, you just NEED to be right because your WACKY religion and your personal identity are on the line.

The problem is with you. You should expect that you aren't going to change and somehow want to get to the truth and similarly you should expect to be called on your fallacious arguments that are rebutted that you nonetheless repeat.

Expect it. The problem is on your end.

Umm...What?

Just admit it, you don't want a science-based argument that leads to the truth, you just want to be right.


Nope, I want a position that is correct. If you can provide me evidence, rather than assertions, I'll accept whatever that evidence says.

Look, in any given discussion, when one of your arguments is rebutted, it's rebutted.


Agreed. And when they have been, I've retracted my argument, whether here or wherever else.

As of yet, the only person arguing from your side who has retracted an argument after it was rebutted was Tim, and he seems to accept that the climate is warming (he just thinks it's a natural and a good thing). You, buildreps and ITN cling to your viewpoints regardless of responses to them and misdirect when rebutted beyond your ability to respond to. The fact you all use your own faults to assert those arguing against you have them (such as religious belief) only further shows how poor you are at logical reasoning.

If you revert to repeating that same argument without addressing how it was rebutted then you are committing a fallacy (of the stone) and it's on you.


Uh, no.

The argument of the stone is a fallacy that occurs when one asserts an absurdity within an argument without explaining the absurdity. It has nothing to do with repeating arguments.

That said, I have never repeated an argument without responding to a(n attempted) rebuttal as well. I mean, I always quote every line I respond to for context just for that reason.

You are the one effectively shutting down the discussion


Nope, that'd be you with your constant and unfounded claims of fallacy when they don't exist.

The argument of the stone is a fallacy that occurs when one asserts an absurdity within an argument without explaining the absurdity. It has nothing to do with repeating arguments.

You have no clue what the argument of the Stone is, do you. Very well.

The argument of the Stone is discarding an argument without counter-argument or mechanism of fallacy. Absurdity of argument has nothing to do with it (those are in other fallacies). Repetition has nothing to do with it. Repeating an argument is a different fallacy.

It is obvious you do not understand either formal or informal logic.

At least you do tend to retain context. So many don't.
Leafsdude wrote:

Nope, that'd be you with your constant and unfounded claims of fallacy when they don't exist.

Since you have no understanding what is a fallacy and what is not, and you have no understanding of why something is a fallacy or where a fallacy comes from in formal logic, you are literally trying to justify fallacious arguments as legitimate. This is a variation of the argument of the Stone.

This type of fallacy seems to be a favorite of yours.

For unfalsifiable religious beliefs, evidence is demanded.

For reality, science is offered.

You dismiss science as mere "assertions" and then demand "evidence" which is never contained in science.

Either you are going to have to admit that you deny science or admit that your WACKY religious faith in "greenhouse effect" is false.

*OR* revert to the argument of the stone and repeat the same erroneous assertions that I have already refuted using basic science that you deny.

A tip, ITN. The meaning of a sentence depends on the order in which its constituent words appear and their relationship to the other words. For example, while Leafsdude did indeed use the word "absurdity", he never claimed that the absurdity of the argument is a factor. Your English comprehension skills are frankly awful - try to read more carefully rather than jumping to conclusions.

No, it's not. That would be either a red herring or a argumentum ad nauseam. Completely different fallacies.

Absurdity of argument has nothing to do with it (those are in other fallacies). Repetition has nothing to do with it. Repeating an argument is a different fallacy.


Absurdity absolutely does. Here's some sources defining argumentum ad lapidem:

1) Wikipedia:

Argumentum ad lapidem (Latin: "to the stone") is a logical fallacy that consists in dismissing a statement as absurd without giving proof of its absurdity.


2) http://www.philosophyinaction.com/academic/fallacies.html (Sourced by wikipedia for the above):

ad lapidem: dismissing an statement as absurd without proving it to be false.


3) In case either of those are too "leftist" for you, conservapedia states the same as wikipedia, using the same source: http://www.conservapedia.com/Argumentum_ad_lapidem

Repetition has nothing to do with it. Repeating an argument is a different fallacy.


And yet I'm the one who can't read? Here's what was said in the quote I was replying to:

If you revert to repeating that same argument without addressing how it was rebutted then you are committing a fallacy (of the stone)


So, he was wrong when stating the above, according to you, and I was right in responding that the above was wrong.

Since you have no understanding what is a fallacy and what is not


I very clearly have a better understanding on what is a fallacy then you or IBDM. The fact you both think you know better anyway is more an example of the Dunning-Kruger effect than anything, IMO.

and you have no understanding of why something is a fallacy


Something is fallacious when an argument either doesn't prove or refute a claim but pretends to or distracts from a claim for the purpose of intentionally misleading from the argument.

or where a fallacy comes from in formal logic


What do you mean by "where a fallacy comes from"?

This is a variation of the argument of the Stone.


As per my sources and definitions above, it absolutely is not.

Interestingly, using a fallacy falsely is itself a fallacy (a fallacy fallacy, in fact, though that can sometimes refer to a different fallacy whereby one claims an argument is false because someone used a fallacy when arguing for it, as well as falsely using fallacies to misdirect from an argument).

This type of fallacy seems to be a favorite of yours.


I think it's clearly a favourite of yours, considering you constantly use it even though it's never appropriate.

Eventually you will get it right, what with the fact that even blind squirrels find the odd nut and broken clocks are still right twice a day. It'll probably take you a while, though, considering the argument of the stone is a very rare fallacy.

For unfalsifiable religious beliefs, evidence is demanded.


What do you mean by that?

For reality, science is offered.

You dismiss science as mere "assertions" and then demand "evidence" which is never contained in science.


Your statements, without any documented sources to defend them, are indeed assertions, not science. One can state anything they want if evidence is not required. If you cannot provide anything other than your words, then no one is logically required to accept your viewpoint, and in fact is logically allowed to reject your viewpoint without evidence (AKA Hitchens' Razor).

Either you are going to have to admit that you deny science or admit that your WACKY religious faith in "greenhouse effect" is false.


False dilemma is a false dilemma.

*OR* revert to the argument of the stone and repeat the same erroneous assertions that I have already refuted using basic science that you deny.


Saying "argument of the stone" doesn't refute any of my "assertions" (most of which I've defended with sources that you reject only because you don't like what they say). As I've stated, it's actually a red herring, distracting us from what is clearly a losing argument so you don't have to admit you are wrong.

You keep making the argument of the Stone. This is YOUR problem. Trying to create a contextomy to get away from it won't work.

Wrong. A red herring is a redirection fallacy. An argumentum ad nauseam is the same argument made over and over without adding anything to it. It can often be combined with an argument of the Stone.

Argument from false authority. Neither Wikipedia nor conservapedia own the term. Absurdity is not required. When you discard an argument without counter-argument or declaration of fallacy, you are making an argument of the Stone. It can certainly be combined with other fallacies.

Psychobabble. There is no such thing as 'Dunning-Kruger' effect. This is again an argument of the Stone. This time combined with a technobabble fallacy.
Leafsdude wrote:

Wrong. An argument is fallacious when it fails to meet the requirements of formal logic.
Leafsdude wrote:

What do you mean by "where a fallacy comes from"?
All fallacies stem from a failure in formal logic. Like mathematics, formal logic is a closed system. Just like there are math errors, there are logic errors. A logic error is a fallacy.

It is. That happens when you claim a fallacy when no logic error exists. This will often happen with people that depend on contextomies.

Theories of science must be falsifiable. Science does not use supporting evidence or consensus.

Your statements, without any documented sources to defend them, are indeed assertions, not science.

His statements come from the theories themselves. They are documented. Look them up. A link is not science. The ONLY authoritative source of a theory of science is the authors of that theory.
Leafsdude wrote:

Indeed they can. Science, though, requires a theory to be falsifiable.
Leafsdude wrote:
If you cannot provide anything other than your words, then no one is logically required to accept your viewpoint, and in fact is logically allowed to reject your viewpoint without evidence (AKA Hitchens' Razor).

Since it is YOU that is trying to change science, the burden of proof is on YOU. No one needs to prove a negative.

Argument of the Stone. Argument from false authority. Argument by redefinition (attempted redefinition of 'argument' as 'assertion').

Fallacy fallacy. A red herring fallacy is not involved here, other than your attempts at redefining various fallacies.

An appeal to authority fallacy. You do not get to declare who is losing an argument.

As solar activity continues to plummet nearing the end of solar cycle 24 global temps are also cooling ... no surprise there ... if we experience and extended minimum before the uptake of cycle 25,temps will continue to fall ...

Curious to see how the alarmist global warming community is gonna spin that....

Solar activity (TSI) has been languid for two score(+) years, & low for 10+ years(including a 3+ year period setting a 100 year record low TSI). Earth temperatures have been rising for 130+ years. realitychucked finds a few months of downturn (but still record high temperatures for recent years), & it declares AGW is dead. realitychucked is an AGW denier liar whiner.

Low compared to the highs of the late 20th century yes.. and global temps during that time have gone nowhere ...

And should it continue to be low you will see temps dropping ...

Oh and I can't declare AGW dead.. as it was never alive ... the temp increases of the late twentieth century were driven by the aforementioned high solar activity ...

Actually the problem is entirely at your end. You simply do not accept real science. You make up your own as you go along. If you believe for one second that anyone can read your garbage and not get a good laugh you're sadly mistaken.

Heat is thermal energy and as such can radiate in the electro-magnetic spectrum. Therefore it has a wavelength and therefore we can measure it from a distance. But you want to pretend that the world isn't as it really is.

Since there is no such thing as a "blackbody" you cannot measure the radiance of an object unless you know the emissivity constant for that specific type of body. Therefore the Stefan-Boltzman equations are not a "law" but an guess in most cases.

No, it isn't. Heat is the FLOW of thermal energy.

Heat is not light. It does not generate light. Thermal energy is not light. Light can be emitted as a result of thermal energy though.

Heat has no wavelength. Neither does thermal energy.
Wake wrote:

No, you can't. Heat can be calculated by determining the temperature difference between the two bodies, and the coupling coefficient between them.
Wake wrote:

While the world is filled with people that like to redefine words, it's not a good idea to be one of them.

The S-B law IS a law (an equation). It is accurate in all cases. It is not a guess at all.

The only 'guess' is the way people tend to assume a value for the emissivity constant. You do not need to assume it. It can be measured, but you need to know the temperature of the surface to measure it in the first place.

It is not possible to determine the emissivity of a planet.

It is not possible to determine the temperature of the Earth to any useful degree of accuracy. We simply do not have the instrumentation for it.

Good point.

I think it can be argued though that the satellite data can be used as a reasonable proxy to identify global warming/cooling trends over time.
And the trend for the last 20 or so years? ... flat

The period of time that we have had satellite data is too short to use for anything but comparing the "ground" record with the "satellite" record. And in that case the "ground" record demonstrates a warming trend of approximately 1 degree C while the satellite record shows NO heating at all.

What this means is that NASA and NOAA "ground" records have either had no correction for the Urban Heat Island Effect or insufficient correction.

The "parrot killer" is also a psychotic who doesn't believe in real science. As you can note to him heat is the "flow of thermal energy". Heat in fact is nothing more than a measured temperature. It doesn't have to "flow" anywhere. A reading is completely static.

Because any heat above absolute zero radiates thermal energy that radiation has a wavelength. "intelligence killer" tells us that it does not. He also doesn't believe that a satellite can measure the heat of an area simply by reading the infrared frequencies of the radiated energy to tell the precise temperatures of any region. The finer the resolution the more accurate you can tell temperatures from specific areas.

By all means stick around this group needs someone capable of thinking since it has sunken to the point where little more than ignorance splashes from it.
