Really solid and well written stuff! I like it a lot. My questions in bold.
1. Very little CO2 creates very little effect
2. CO2 is trivial compared to Water, the big boss of greenhouse gases
3. CO2 put into the air doesn't last that long: how long though?
4. A huge spike in CO2 has not produced a spike in temp. What about theory the effect is delayed?
5. CO2 has diminishing effects beyond 20 ppmv. Is ppmv the same as ppm?
6. Ice core data skews to showing there was less CO2 than there was.
7. We are warming as much now as in the 1800s. Yes! See my post: Tangier Island , should it be used as an example?
8. Clouds cause global warming. Yes! see Leitwolfs post: Clouds are warming Earth, not (so much) GHGs
The CO2 mania could be a bit like the fat guy trying to argue his drinking diet coke is the lynch pin in the strategy to stay slim.
9. There is an unknown source of CO2. Couldn't it just be positive feedback (plant growth) and the fluctuations you get with anything in the real world?
10. CO2 will leave the atmosphere in 10-20 years
11. Oops there is no 11
12. So far the predictions have been wrong
13. The Climate is far less sensitive than the IPCC claims
14. Dumb people think Hurricanes are now worse, they aren't.
15. CO2 is good for plants
16. Historical data on a greenhouse effect may not show it more minimal in the past than now
17. The sea is rising, now as in the past, so no news there (same as #7).
18. IPCC models overstate the degree to which GHGs are trapping radiance.
19. VENUS, almost pure CO2, doesn't only show a GHG effect. Wouldn't it be fair to say that VENUS shows us something other than a simple greenhouse effect is playing a major roll in it's temperature? Also you say: "Venus is actually 740K, requiring a radiative-enhancement by the atmospheric CO2-greenhouse of ~16,000 W/m2 (by the S-B law*1)." Are you saying that CO2 would have to account for the increase in temp instantaneously? That there couldn't be a gradual accumulation of thermal energy? VENUS just as hot at night so of course the thermal energy is accumulated. So that math doesn't sound right to me.
20. Methane doesn't have much impact
21. ACIDIFICATION! of the oceans is not out of the normal range
22. link to video https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=46&v=3PWtaackIJU Bjorn Lomborg ! talks about how droughts, hurricanes and other things are not increasing. I love this guy!

So I didn't read everything carefully yet but I really like your work.

You should have run your article by me before going final. I could have pointed out some errors that need to be fixed:


This post lists 22 scientific reasons

You really don't use science in your post as a basis for your arguments.

It's my opinion that anthropogenic global warming is minuscule at 0.0018°C per 1ppmv of CO2

There is no such relationship. No such AGW formula exists in science.

1) CO2 has quite a trivial warming effect.

CO2 does not have a trivial warming effect. It has no warming effect at all.

The effects of CO2 are overwhelmed by water vapour.

Water vapor has no effect either. The zero effect of water vapor cannot overwhelm the zero effect of CO2.

The 13C/12C ratio confirms that CO2 has a small life-time and because of this short life-time there is only a tiny percentage of human CO2 residing in the atmosphere.

CO2 molecules does not contain metadata tags specifying whether the chemical events that caused their individual creation involved undefined "human activity."

The demonstrable impotence of atmospheric CO2 as the driver of global warming is evidenced by the fact that from 1998 to 2012 the global temperature increased at the risible rate of 0.05°C per decade

We cannot calculate the earth's average global temperature to any usable accuracy, much less to within far less than one degree Celsius. There's no way for any human to ascertain a change in the earth's average global temperature.

CO2 behaves somewhat logarithmically and the more of it there is in the atmosphere the less warming each molecule should have.

There is no effect, much less a logarithmic one.

THE FORCING FROM ATMOSPHERIC CO2 DECAYS LOGARITHMICALLY

There is no such thing as a "forcing" or a "miracle" in science.

The ice-core data is not representative of true paleo-climate CO2 levels.

This statement is correct, except that the entire section that follows needs to specify that any conclusions drawn can only be about CO2 levels at some point upstream from flow of the ice ... with huge gaps missing in the record, i.e. huge uncertainty as to when anything happened regarding that CO2.

Any conclusions outside of that are totally bogus.

The rate of warming is not unusual.

The rate of warming, or of cooling, is imperceptible and not measurable. We cannot classify it in any way other than "negligible."

Global warming is explainable by clouds.

... only by means of voodoo magic.

The mathematical properties of the growth curves for the human CO2-emissions and atmospheric CO2 contents are unequivocal in showing that some source other than the anthropogenic one must be contributing significantly to the atmospheric rise.

Unfortunately we do not know the earth's average atmospheric levels of CO2. CO2 is distributed very unevenly throughout the atmosphere and is absorbed by plantlife which, as of the last check, is rather abundant on the planet. Places that claim to measure atmospheric CO2 can only measure at one particular point. Places like Mauna Loa that happen to be near an active volcano irreparably skew the data. Unfortunately, places like Mauna Loa decide to go for broke and actively fudge data, and any data that isn't sufficiently fudged is fabricated. Ergo, we don't have the means to know the earth's average global atmospheric CO2 levels, it is unevenly distributed, it is transparent so we can't see it, and the data we have is bogus.

Anthropogenic CO2 should not take hundreds or thousands of years to be removed from the atmosphere.

CO2 molecules does not contain metadata tags specifying whether the chemical events that caused their individual creation involved undefined "human activity."

The predictive performance of the CAGW-models have been completely refuted by real-world observations.

It is a myth that there are actually any "climate models" ... ergo it is simply an urban legend that CAGW-models have been completely refuted. There aren't any CAGW-modles in the first place.

According to the IPCC, in AR5, the solar forcing since pre-industrial times has been small, amounting to only 0.05 W/m2. However, there are various reconstructions that show a large increase in TSI since pre-industrial times.

So what? All you have said is that there has been at least one person who has speculated a large TSI increase in recent years. Big deal. You didn't even name this/these person/people.

The global sea level has been rising long before human CO2-emissions became a significant factor — post-1950 (see graph below).

It is a myth that the ocean is somehow known to be rising. There has not been any such measurements. In fact, there are simple things that any rational person can do to convince oneself that the ocean has not, in fact, risen perceptibly since 1950.

Compelling evidence the IPCC's models misrepresent the Earth's climate is shown in the graph below.

Nothing can misprepresent the earth's Climate because there is no such thing. No human has ever unambiguously defined "Climate" such that physics can apply to it. In fact, all humans who insist that there is such a thing as a "global climate" refuse to unambiguously define it, preferring to leave it as the logical contradiction that it is. Ergo, it cannot be "misrepresented."

This claim is dubious and due to Venus' high albedo,

You don't know what Venus' albedo is, nobody does.

The threat from methane has been overblown.

This implies that a threat from methane has actually been established. Besides a threat of bad odor, no other threat has been established with respect to methane.

Firstly, the term 'acidify' is a misnomer, because the current average ocean pH is assumed to be between 7.9 to 8.0 (depending on the source) below an assumed pre-industrial level of 8.2 and that is very much alkaline. Secondly, while humans are assumed to have contributed to the change in ocean pH, it can change naturally, and has done so in the past, due to things such as temperature, eutrophication and biological activity.

The ocean's average pH is no known. Ergo, no one can validly claim that the ocean's pH has risen. Natural geological activity is responsible for the ocean being alkaline to the extent that it is (~8.1, +/- 0.2) and unless you can show that geological activity has ceased, you would have a difficult time making a convincing argument that the ocean pH is decreasing.

I doubt the poster complied it

Claim 1) The claim that trivial warming effect, The warming effects of CO2 vs water vapour are well understood. CO2 remains in the atmosphere and is well mixed so it effects places such as the arctic regions that have very little water vapour. the word logarithmic is used with no attempt to say whether we are near a point where that is becoming an issue.

Claim 2) again the effects of water vapour and CO2 are well understood, increased C02 allows for increased water vapour this is basic atmospheric physics if you read Tyndall you will know that this has been known for a long time.


Claim 3) there is only a tiny percentage of human CO2 residing in the atmosphere. pre-industral levels of CO2 were 280 ppm its currently 410.ppm that is 46%

claim 4) more stuff about logarithmic forcing, we are no where near saturation and we dont want to be.

Claim 5) its depending on a graph by Geroge Beck, this graph is considered a joke. if its not a joke where did all the carbon come from and go too just before we systemically looked at it. why did it fluctuate wildly when instruments were not so good stabilize a bit and then go to shit during the disruption of the WWII?
Why are other sources of estimating the pre war CO2 levels so different?

I would love to go through and do all the claims but time is against me.

The amount of water vapor in the air is massive compared with the amount of CO2 though. This is certainly not a lie.

Yes but many of the points are about how future predictions, not the present day, are off base in the IPCC and other's assessments.

OK why don't we dig into this one. It's claimed that the data is reliable:


I've certainly never seen this graph before. I would think looking at 1940 having over 400 PPMV should be pretty justifiable. I know the 22 points include the claim that ice core data understates ancient CO2 levels and most graphs prior to having Moana Loa just use ice cores.

The graphs certainly don't agree.

Question is how was the Beck graph's data obtained.

Thank you spot.

I would argue its not the rate but the warming itself that is the prime issue

8)Global warming is explainable by clouds:

Perhaps changes in cloud cover do affect temperature. that begs the question what is driving those changes. CO2 is the only driver that explains that.

9)The mathematical properties of the growth curves for the human CO2-emissions and atmospheric CO2 contents are unequivocal in showing that some source other than the anthropogenic one must be contributing significantly to the atmospheric rise.

Yes not all the CO2 rise is due to fossil fuels its due to things like forest fires and land use changes and melting perma-frost. except for land use these things are because its getting hotter. they are positive feedbacks we know about them and its not good news.

10) I don't really have the expertise or have heard of the study cited but considering the quality of the rest of the blog I would have to look into it in detail I hope it's right, I doubt it is.

11) What is a citizen audit? do citizens audit papers on exoplanets as well?

12) The predictive performance of the CAGW-models have been completely refuted by real-world observations. No it was predicted to get hotter, it is getting hotter.

13) The IPCC may have overestimated climate sensitivity. you can point to papers that say that, most recent ones seem to say they got it about right or underestimated it. http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2017/08/sensible-questions-on-climate-sensitivity/

14) A widespread misconception disseminated by the media is that humans are making hurricanes worse.


Its not unreasonable to think putting more energy in a system makes the system more energetic Refuting that point is beyond my expertise and requires alot of detail.


15) Far from being environmentally deleterious, CO2 is a vital requirement for all life on the Earth The forests around Sidney are loving this extra CO2. at the moment .Life is adapted to the conditions we have changing that is not going to be a benefit. it might possibly benefit some species but they might be pest species. CO2 is not the limiting factor anyway in plants growth. you can have as much CO2 as you like but if its too hot and too dry the plant is going to die.


16) According to the IPCC, in AR5, the solar forcing since pre-industrial times has been small, amounting to only 0.05 W/m2

changes in solar output makes sense but we have no evidence and we know that CO2 levels are increasing, sounds like wishful thinking.

Times running out tonight for an indepth post.

CO2 is not the limiting factor anyway in plants growth. you can have as much CO2 as you like but if its too hot and too dry the plant is going to die.

Plants are not sensitive to temperature (other than freezes). They are sensitive only to light and availability of water and soil nutrients.

No? We actually CAN get a rough idea of the power emitted by the Sun. We have also noted that polar ice caps on Mars wax and wane just like Earth's, and at the same time.

It actually is not possible to measure a global atmospheric CO2 content. A few dozen stations are not enough, and CO2 is not uniformly distributed in the atmosphere. Further, the Mauna Loa data is cooked. It's useless.

So this was the question I had in my first topic here about Tangier Island. Of course it's relevant that we have hit records but we were also hitting records in the 1800s which were warmer than the 1700s:

And of course the data is less reliable prior to the last 100 years. However it's very safe to say that we saw a run up in temperature in the first part of the 1900s that would not have been caused by increased CO2 because it hadn't increased yet.

So my perspective on record temps is it's consistent with unusual warming but it's not proof because there is natural warming combining with AGW if we have that. We would be in a better position to know if the trend was a reversal. Like the Earth had be gradually cooling for 500 years and right when CO2 started to increase it reversed and started warming.

So it is fair to say that it's not "unusual" to see record temps since we saw them in the 1930s.

The Stefan-Boltzmann principle does not apply to our atmosphere. Tu sais, может быть. It's something like eбT^4A.
It would depend on what the atmosphere is doing. When it's excited then the Earth might be absorbing heat like during the day. Then at night, the atmosphere can draw heat from the Earth.
The momentum of atmospheric gases would determine if its radiating or absorbing electromagnetic radiation. That's where the Earth's momentum is constant while the momentum of atmospheric gases have fluctuates between the day and into the night where it's basically non-existent. LMAO

Its alarming if your house gets swallowed by the the sea. again allot of waffel but the fact is that basic physics says warmer things are bigger that coupled with the melting ice that is happening means that sea levels will rise. You can argue about what adverbs to use all you like, it doesent change the facts.

18) This is very esoteric and is supposed to be compelling proof. the lines represent nothing real but have been put there by people on very few data points. The ERBE satellites are now defunct I have heard that the reason why they are against all other data is because they did not account for the deterioration in the orbit of the satellites If you are really interested you could look into this.

19)Another widespread misconception is that (the mythical planet) Venus is hot due to the radiative-enhancement from its high atmospheric CO2 concentration (96.5%)

Venus is defiantly real its a bright star that can be seen by the the naked eye, not mythical at all the blog writer suggests that adiabatic compression is responsible for the heat of the surface. if that was the case the atmosphere would be getting thicker, in fact because Venus has no magnetic field it is losing atmosphere but not at rate that would make any difference anyway. In the final analysis it is a stupid suggestion.

20) Methane is a powerfull greenhouse gas but is present in small amounts

21) It's claimed the increase in CO2 is causing the ocean to acidify at an unprecedented rate and this will cause harm to coral reefs and marine life. Firstly, the term 'acidify' is a misnomer

In chemistry acidify means the PH to change away from alkaline to more acidic anyway you can argue with the corals and other sea life that is adapted for a very stable PH in the oceans about adverbs.

22) no droughts according to that study they linked I think Australia is finding out if that is true at the moment.

If you melt floating ice, no change in sea level occurs. You can do the experiment yourself with a glass of ice water. Measure the water level, let the ice melt, then measure the water level again. It is the same.

Venus DOES have a magnetic field, but it is not generated internally like on Earth. Instead the solar wind itself interacting with the upper atmosphere on Venus induces a magnetic field, much like a planet sized dynamo.

Venus is hot simply because it is closer to the Sun. It is hotter at the surface because the there is simply more stuff to absorb energy from the Sun and convert it to thermal energy.

Venus DOES have a magnetic field, but it is not generated internally like on Earth. Instead the solar wind itself interacting with the upper atmosphere on Venus induces a magnetic field, much like a planet sized dynamo.

Venus is hot simply because it is closer to the Sun. It is hotter at the surface because the there is simply more stuff to absorb energy from the Sun and convert it to thermal energy.

Not quite. You can only acidify an acid or a neutral substance (such as water).

Nope. Was it difficult to convince you to regurgitate this laughable claim?

Nope.

* In chemistry, when pH moves towards 7.0, the solution is "neutralizing."
* In chemistry, a solution has "acidified" when it was previously alkaline but is now acidic, i.e. pH < 7.0
* The ocean has never acidified.
* Natural geological processes increase the ocean's pH.
* There is no process in nature that is decreasing the ocean's pH in any substantive way.
