Are we at the peak of the Interglacial period or have we actually started downward to increased glaciation, or would have without our unconscious CO2 intervention.

Even with the upward temperature pressure of our greenhouse gas emissions, will there still be a gradual downward temperature trend that overwhelms what we have done and lead to an inevitable catastrophe for a human civilization of 7.6 Billion?

Are the real warming effects of our carbon emissions being masked by downward pressure by the other causative factors of the end of an interglacial phase?

Have we really averted a future catastrophe, by sheer luck, or do we need to slow, end, or even possibly increase greenhouse gas emissions, in the long term, to moderate our climate?

The timing of the ice ages ahs to do with shifts in the Earth's orbit, primarily due to its resonance with Jupiter. At the moment we are in a particularly stable phase that will likely go on for another 10,000 to 15,000 years so no imminent ice age.

The additional CO2 in the atmosphere can produce a tipping point where we go into a permanent change in the global climate. If the resulting increase in global temperatures is large enough we may not get another ice age (at least until most of the excess CO2 is removed from the atmosphere due to rock weathering (millions of years).

So the conclusion is that short of a super-volcanic eruption or a major asteroid impact that an ice age is not imminent.


You do understand that this is our first interglacial, that we are able to study and record. Everything about the ice age, and further in the past, is just speculation. A best guess, on the information available. The future is similarly an unknown, just speculation. Predicting the future has always been a profitable enterprise, if marketed to rubes just right. Reading layers in ice cores samples, isn't all that different than ripping out the entrails of a mammal, and reading those. Those who predict the future get lucky sometimes, come real close often enough, or have a handy excuse, when they completely miss the mark. Usually, it's mostly excuses...

Everything is speculation. All of it. You seem to be saying we know stuff exactly but that not that, that's speculation.

We don't know anything exactly.

Ah yes your old stand by.

Whether or not you can handle it the subject matter we are concerned with is the bottom of the atmosphere and ground/ocean level.

It DOES matter what happens to parts of a whole. You can subdivide anything however you like. Your "rule" is totally manufactured BS.

A car on fire in the snow and a car parked in the sun might both have the same mean temperature but it makes a HUGE difference how that thermal energy is distributed.

Radiance headed to space can be absorbed by a CO2 molecule on it's way. That a short enough sentence for you?

And yet you don't complain about the technology that we've developed, about how some scientists got lucky in figuring it all out. Isn't that a paradox that you claim, we live in a technological society but we can't know anything.
I think scientists that say that this current warming is different than the 1920's to the 1940's warming event don't get it. Why did the Little Ice Age end? It wasn't because of CO2. And if things start cooling again like you say we can't know, what will Florida do when it's too cold to grow oranges and people don't go to Disneyland Orlando? There is an ice core researcher in Denmark that I would think would call these short term variations as "climate ripples".
Just think, in another 200 years, about all food might be grown in greenhouses.

Nope. Falsifiability does a great job of separating the wheat from the chaff, the science from the speculation.

Harvey is correct; speculation about the past is not science, it's just speculation.

Exactly correct. That's why we put so much effort into component testing.

However, the component "part" of your focus is part of a greater whole which affects and is affected by other component parts, and you seek to draw conclusions that involve other component parts and of the greater whole while denying them all.

Invalid. You must consider the greater whole and you are dismissed until you do. Or, as you are fond of noting, the lower atmosphere is not a closed system so you don't get to treat it as such.

My "rule" is that you must adhere to physics and that you don't get to apply bogus non-science that you just fabricated.

I'm sorry that you disagree.

tgoebbles wrote:Radiance headed to space can be absorbed by a CO2 molecule on it's way.

Sure. Irrelevant. Whatever you claim about the earth needs to agree with science or you have a lot of explaining to do.

Oh yeah, what you are claiming about the earth doesn't agree with science and you have a lot of explaining to do.

How are they "denied" ?

If I measure the temperature at the bottom of the atmosphere but not the molten core of Earth or the stratosphere I am not "denying" them. If I assume they are not playing an important role in the temp of the troposphere I am still not "denying" them.

What you are doing is attempting to disqualify a discussion based on some requirement not being met.

Guess what? We'll never have all the info. So we have to work with what we have.

And solar radiation coming into our atmosphere can be absorbed by CO2 and then back scattered. ie., 1/2 of the incoming solar IR that it absorbs is emitted back towards space. They say that N2 and O2 really don't absorb incoming solar radiation.
And yet it's warm at night with no incoming solar IR. And if N2 and O2 do not absorb IR, why is there any heat at all? tmiddles, you just showed a major failure of atmospheric physics. And this I think I can explain.

Yes, I am now greatly confused. You are using the verb "measure" and not "compute" for a "mean temperature."

Either you don't have a clue about statistical math and are totally mathematically incomeptent or this is an extension of your intentional conflation of measurement with "confidence."

So yes, at this point, without any further clarification from you, I will just go with the "mathematically incompetent" assessment and just point that out every time you try to make some sort of statement on the topic.

Depends on how much CO2 we pump into the atmosphere. At the current rate of emissions the models say the anomaly will be at about 4C +/- 2C.

But nobody says it stops there.

Both N2 and O2 absorb solar radiance. O2 absorbs in the infrared, the visible light, and UV spectrum. Absorption can result in conversion to thermal energy or in conversion to chemical energy; as an example. Ozone (O3) is both created and destroyed by sunlight.

It isn't. It is UV-C light that does that. This occurs in the atmosphere no lower than the upper reaches of the stratosphere. This band of frequencies is almost completely absorbed by this action.
James___ wrote:

Nope. It is UV-B light that does that. This occurs in the atmosphere all the way down to the surface, but is strongest near the bottom of the stratosphere, and is part of the formation of ozone.

No such thing. Theories are not 'mainstream' or any other 'stream'. They are simply theories.

What term do you use then for an increase in the annual mean temperature of Denver?

What term do you use then for an increase in the annual mean temperature of Earth for everything above the very bottom of the atmosphere?

That it is. At first glance it looks like English, but you quickly discover that many words change meaning radically depending on some arbitrary context at the time, and that many words seem to have no meaning at all, yet they are used as if they had one.

Don't forget, words have more than one meaning, depending on the context, yet you try to make that fact to be onerous.
More than one meaning is just language as it is. Trying to require a single meaning is like trying to dictate.

Indeed. I think I'm going to stick with English. It works much better.

Obviously you have been a speaker of Liberal for far too long...

Thankfully, there are similarities between Liberal and English. However, in English, words have meaning and they don't "change meaning" on a whim due to some arbitrary context. One such example is that the meaning of the word "theory" (in English) doesn't somehow change because... well... "science".

Liberal does not "work the brain". It deteriorates the brain to the point where one becomes completely illiterate in logic, math, science, history, engineering, economics, and so on, to the point where one becomes completely incapable of thinking for themselves and forming their own arguments. The Liberal pathogen is a rather nasty disease...

Thankfully, there is a "red pill" treatment for it. The effectiveness of the treatment is different for each person and largely depends upon how far the pathogen has progressed through one's brain. It might have no effect at all, or it might completely cure a person. My guess is that you are too far gone, unfortunately...

Same thing anyone is likely to say: That Denver is getting warmer every year. What would you say?

IBdaMann wrote:

I'd say warming of Earths upper atmosphere.

What term would I use for a warming of Earth's core:
I'd say that Earth's core was warming.

Do you have a definition for "Core Body Temperature"? ITN keeps ducking that one.

How about you explain how describing something directly is a "circular definition" that somehow breaks GFM's brain?

He's given up debating like ITN so I can't ask him.
