The streak continues: August 2020 second highest global temperatures, just behind the record El Nino year of 2016

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3368vWeCco

Data available at the NCDC if you want to check the analysis.

Meanwhile the Solar cycle 25 prediction panel (NOAA / NASA) have confirmed what I have been saying for months - namely we are past solar minimum (December 2019) and Solar Cysle 25 is well underway. They also predict (as I did) that SC25 will be larger than SC24.

Wasn't the June and July threads, the hottest on record? Does that mean we are global cooling again? I didn't care about the warming, I like a warmer climate, live in Florida. Please, no ice age crap, that really scares me. Cold sucks. I've got a stack of used tires in my backyard I could burn. Think that would be enough CO2 to get us back on a warming tread. Or would the foul smelling black smoke, just annoy the neighbors, like last time...

The weather station at the end of the runway at Amberely airforce base Ipswich Queensland has shown a 1 degree C cooling since 1942.Thats what it is but BOM are claiming a 1.76 degree warming for the area.Go figure.

Just saying it does not make it so - especially with your track record.


El Nino does not warm the Earth or indicate warming of the Earth.


During El Nino Years the average temperature anomaly of the Earth is larger (e.g., 1998 and 2016). When the is a La Nina the reverse happens the average temperature anomaly falls (e.g., 2008 and 2011).


There is no data. Analyzing random numbers is pointless.

Would you think, that if it held merit, it would be universally obvious, and indisputable? How many decades have democrats been try to sell this nonsense? Real scientists, have their own projects, hopes and dreams to work on. Why would anyone consider dropping actual useful research, just to debunk an obvious, political hoax?

But there's a consensus. I'm not sure how many have to 'believe', but if you get enough people to sign up, anything can become an indisputable fact. If you get enough together, and they truly 'believe', they can drink rat poison tainted Kool-aid, and not be harmed... Not what went wrong, when Rev, Jim Jones tried to prove this. Got a hunch climate change is about the same, just a different poison.

Yeah. 30 years ago they got sued, and global warming was one of the environmental issues listed. Don't remember how that got resolved, since it takes years, and frivolous, no interest in following the case.

Has the IPCC ever claim that we could completely stop global warming, in anyway? Have there been any claims of being able to reverse global warming? The best that they can offer, is to maybe slow the rate of global warming. No confidence, or commitment on this either. CO2 is a trace gas, and also absolutely vital to all life on the planet. Even if mankind quit burning stuff, nature still produces large quantities. California is producing massive quantities every year, burning millions of acres of forests.

Solar panels and windmills aren't a viable replacement for the use of fossil fuels. They currently only supplement the current, barely adequate power generation plants.

There is no direct evidence, or clear, repeatable method for measuring global warming. It's a long, convoluted, causal-chain, circumstantial at best. It only make sense to those willing, and wanting to believe. Or, to complete morons, who tend to believe anything...

I've lived in Florida since 1986. 2004-05, were the two most active, destructive years. Climate guys were claiming it the new normal, and will on get worse, more major storms... Then it started slowing down quite a bit, few storms, fewer major storms. They had to make some changes, on how storms were measured (mainly be aircraft now). Very few of the 'monster' storms, remain hurricane status, more than a few hours after landfall. Seems to me, 15 years is a long time for global warming to take a break, specially when it's a major crisis, and the actions demanded.

I don't believe there are any weather trends, or long cycles. Conditions of several factors occasionally come together, and produce some extreme weather. They run their course, and everything is decent enough for a while. We don't always get what we want, when we want it. We can't always change everything to better suit our wants and desires. There is no cheating in life, you play the cards you are dealt. If you are smart, you make best of the hand your are holding, anything else, and you eventually lose the game.

Correct. Perihelion for Jupiter is in 2023. That will be about the same time as the minimum of the current sunspot cycle. We can, for practical purposes, consider it essentially minimum now. It follows a sine wave, you see.

UV light reaches Earth from the sun and warms the planet to a habital level

No. UV light does not warm anything. When UV light is absorbed, it causes a chemical reaction or direct ionization. It does not convert to thermal energy. IR light, when absorbed, converts to thermal energy. Most of the energy emitted from the Sun is infrared light.
duncan61 wrote:
then IR light is radiated back in to space

This is correct.
duncan61 wrote:
however gases and water vapour impede the IR light leaving and reflect a small amount back.

No. Certain gases and water vapor can absorb infrared light, either from the Sun or from IR light radiating from Earth's surface. Like usual, this results in increased thermal energy in the molecule that absorbed it. The photon that was absorbed is utterly destroyed.

Essentially, the surface warms the atmosphere. Both by conduction and by radiance from the surface. This cools the surface. It doesn't warm it. The atmosphere also has thermal energy (it's mass above absolute zero). It there also radiates infrared light just like the surface does. The light it radiates is lower in intensity and a cooler color, but it is infrared light all the same. It is not reflected light.

No molecule will absorb energy from a photon that has less energy than that molecule already has. That photon will be reflected or refracted. You cannot heat a warmer surface using a colder gas. That would violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics and quantum physics.
duncan61 wrote:
Is there a calculation for how much CO2 reflects the amount of IR light back

Zero. Certain frequencies of infrared are absorbed by CO2. They are not reflected back. The photon is destroyed when absorbed.

No polar bears are in for the chop. Polar bear population decreased temporarily in Alaska as the bears moved east into northern Canada, following their food supply. When the count was done again (bears seen in a given area, used to estimate the total bear population), the count was higher in Canada and lower in Alaska.

That's reversed now. Bears have moved back into Alaska. Seems their food supply moved too.
