I'm will critique your presentation here.

1) Are you Irish? Completely immaterial but I kept hoping you would get to examples involving Jameson.

2) WHAT MAKES THE EARTH HOT. You needlessly belabored geothermal, incoming particle and tidal force sources of energy as though they were substantial sources to consider. They are negligible, i.e. can be treated as zero...but you did not clarify this. Instead you leave the viewer with an incorrectly downplayed impression of the sun's role in heating the earth's atmosphere/surface. The viewer should come away from this slide realizing that the sun accounts for just a hair under 100% of the earth's surface/ocean/atmospheric warming.
Yes, that would run completely counter to the erroneous conclusion you wish your viewing audience to believe, but you did begin your presentation with the claim that you wanted to cover the scientific principles.

3) WHAT MAKES THE EARTH COOL. You claim ice has an absolute albedo of 0.9 but this wording implies a rather flawed and severly oversimplified understanding. First, we don't simply discuss the albedo of a substance. We discuss the albedo of a body in accordance with a set of wavelengths, considering that different parts of the surface contribute varying component values based on the substance and the incidence angle of the incoming set of wavelengths in question. For example, we might discuss the albedo of the earth (a body) across the entire spectrum of solar radiation. In so doing, we notice that the earth's albedo is one value when, for example, the sun is directly over ice, at a slight angle over water, and a sharper angle over forest (i.e. low albedo) whereas the earth has a different albedo a few hours later when it is at a sharper angle over ice and water and directly over a desert and mountains (i.e. higher albedo).

Similarly, clouds don't have an albedo of 0.7. In fact, the effect of clouds in far from clearly understood...except in the cases of religiously-induced "certainty." All your albedo values are unknown yet you list them as being certain, and humanity has not yet acquired the means to effectively measure earth's albedo wrt sunlight.

Also the oceans don't make the earth cool. They are incorporated into the equilibrium. They, along with 'Land" should be removed from your list.

4) BALANCE OR IMBALANCE. This is the final slide required for any viewer. Although the earth is in equilibrium, your presentation is based on the assumption that it is not. Ergo, with false assumptions you cannot avoid reaching false conclusions. In this case, you selected a false assumption (i.e. an energy imbalance) that will render the desired false conclusion (i.e. the earth is warming).

NOTE: This is the slide where you double down on your "physics violation for the gullible", i.e. the magic superphero deity "greenhouse gas" performs the miracle of "thermal radiation slowing" which somehow regulates temperature...in the wrong way...

...and at the same time you pretend to claim that you speak for countless, unnamed "experts."

5) SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES. This will be the final slide I discuss. Here you mention the earth's "climate system" without clearly defining and delimiting what that is. You then allude to a "tipping point" which is intended to instill panic and fear...yet it too is not clearly defined/delimited (it is vaguely described in a non-useful, fear-generating manner).

There is no science in this presentation. This is standard, party-line Global Warming dogma. There is nothing in this presentation we haven't heard debunked a thousand times.

The slide that makes the Point is from about 8:30 - 9:15:
Variations from solar insulation are minimal and not rising.
Everything else in the video, however scientific or not, is a discussion of "Why then, are average temperatures rising?"

My question: where are These measurements being made?

I said at the very beginning of that slide "The single largest source of energy input to the Erath is in the form of light from the Sun .... This makes up 99.95% of the incoming energy to the Earth and most of that is in the optical part of the spectrum."

It would help if you were more intent on listening than finding fault

Not my figures, those are available in those scientific literature and represent an average over all conditions and circumstances though I simplified the numbers to save time explaining.(NSICD)

If they radiate heat energy away (which they do if they have any temperature above absolute zero) then they do help to cool the Earth. Once again proving a little knowledge can be a bad thing but not as bad as a whole lot of ignorance.

If its temperature is still rising then it is not in equilibrium by definition.

"Tipping point" is a scientific term involved in the discussion of the stability of systems. It is defined in the dictionary.

How can you say there is no science in the presentation if you haven't watched it all? That is like claiming that the Super Bowl is not over yet because you turned off at half time.

It would help if you were to read my comments and understand them rather than knee-jerk a purely defensive response.

There was no reason to belabor the other insignificant factors. The only purpose would be to confuse your audience, and we both know why you do that. If you were to not waste your audience's time in this manner, they would have to focus on the sun being the only energy source (of any significance) and they would certainly be more prone to question your final conclusion.

You don't want your obviously erroneous conclusion being questioned, so you convolute.

DRKTS wrote: Not my figures, those are available in those scientific literature and represent an average over all conditions and circumstances though I simplified the numbers to save time explaining.(NSICD)

...and so you lie to your audience because it is necessary to support your erroneous conclusion.

No one knows what any of those partial albedo component values are, much less the overall albedo of the earth. Therefore for you to use fabricated numbers as the basis for your conclusion seals its fate as a completely invalid conclusion.

If you want your conclusions to have a chance at being valid, don't regurgitate fabricated numbers as though they are certain facts.

Oh, btw, simply calling warmizombie fabrications "scientific literature" does not somehow make them valid.

DRKTS wrote: If its temperature is still rising then it is not in equilibrium by definition.

...and as the planet cools it will not be in equilibrium at it seeks its new equilibrium temperature. However, you have just changed the subject.

You have not explained the reason for the existence of just such an "imbalance" outside of fluctuations in solar output. Your whole point is that there are other forces that cause an "imbalance." You then just assume the existence of this other-than-solar-fluctuation imbalance. Every time you have attempted to explain, you produce nothing beyond violations of physics.

So until you provide an explanation as to why the earth would not be in equilibrium given constant solar input, your conclusion is summarily dismissed. It is you who is required to provide the support for your claims but you just won't. You insist others "believe" your WACKY religious dogma that just assumes all these violations of physics.


DRKTS wrote: "Tipping point" is a scientific term involved in the discussion of the stability of systems. It is defined in the dictionary.

Great. You think the dictionary is a science textbook. This is from where you draw your understanding of science terms.

So "climate" really is the temperature in my car which I adjust with the "climate control" setting.

So, from now on, whenever you make an assertion, we need to ask if you got it out of the dictionary.

DRKTS wrote: How can you say there is no science in the presentation if you haven't watched it all?

I did watch it all. I quite accurately summarized the remainder as standard Global Warming crap that we have all heard so many times that we are more likely to be fooled by a Nigerian banker than by your tired, long-since-debunked party-line dogma.

I don't feel inclined to address the bogus references to Venus. That has been addressed so much that the topic is a skeptic FAQ.

I don't feel obligated to address your mistaken belief that you somehow get to speak for non-believers of your faith and to declare that they are now strangely accepting your religious dogma. I do not feel it necessary to point out that your justification for this absurd claim is an equally absurd fabricated graphic that no one believes is representative of reality. I also don't think it is necessary to explain how all your claims of somehow accurately knowing average global temperatures are completely bogus, as are your claims that certain years were the warmest "Ev-ah!"

I already mentioned that your penchant for pretending to speak for countless, unnamed others yanks the foundation out from under your credibility so I don't need to reiterate it for every anticipated instance. I also mentioned your doubling down on your preferred physics violation of "greenhouse gas" magically "slowing" earth's thermal radiation so it is not necessary to focus on yet another instance in which you claim to speak for "the vast majority of 'climate' scientists" who, by their very non-scientific, subjective consensus make your violation of physics so much more authoritative!

I had already articulated my anticipation that your presentation would hinge on acceptance of your faith-based assumptions. You showed how solar output was stable and/or decreasing so your final conclusion of "greenhouse effect" does,in fact, rest on your assumption that the earth is actually getting warmer, which is based entirely on your bogus claims of having divine knowledge of accurate global average temperatures.

Your conclusion slide seeks an explanation for Global Warming that is just assumed. People like me who see that the king is naked, that there is no such Global Warming in the first place, are forced to dismiss your explanations of something that apparently doesn't exist. You might as well explain the true rationale for Santa Claus living at the North Pole.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVGONXHNx3Q

I disagree that it would be stupid for us to blame solar forcing for global warming, or at least the late 20th century warming. There are quite a few studies showing that global cloud cover has decreased and clouds have a net-cooling effect on the planet. They cool the planet by around 50 W/m2 and warm by around 30 W/m2 according to the IPCC. So a general decrease in cloud cover should lead to net-warming. To put it another way, for every 1 W/m2 that clouds reflect they warm by around 0.6 W/m2. So if clouds reflected 1 W/m2 less solar radiation, that would lead to a net-warming of around 0.4 W/m2. There are a number of studies out there that show clouds have decreased between 1980's to the 2000's and this decrease has caused an increase in solar radiation absorbed by the surface of around 3 to 6 W/m2, giving a net-warming of 1.2 to 2.4 W/m2. Compare that to the supposedly measured surface radiative forcing of 0.2 W/m2 from a 22 ppmv increase in CO2 between 2000-2010 from Feldman et al 2015, and it becomes strikingly obvious that nature is by far the dominant factor.

Assuming this is true what is causing the variation in cloud cover? Could it possibly be a feedback rather then a forcing. We all know the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere changes with tempture as well. As we are all familer with the IPCC reports and the underpinning science behind them so I won't bother explaining why water vapour is not a forcing.

A pointless question until we figure out what is causing the increase in temperature in the first place if it's not the sun.

What do you believe is causing the (presumed) increase in temperature? An increase in energy or a superpower miracle that "slows" thermal radiation?

Bluster? You clearly never learned how this science thing works.

You are the one making the affirmative assertion. I don't know if you noticed but you made a video to present your argument. You are the one who bears the full burden of proof. No one else incurs any such burden by you making a claim.

Your words above imply that you believe you have somehow imposed some sort of burden on me and also that you somehow get to judge whether I have met my imposed burden. In short, you have taken the religious devotee's position of bulveristically defending his faith.

Science doesn't work that way. You have proven that you are unable to support your claims unless your beliefs and conclusions are already assumed. That's religion, not science.

Te he, we have had that disscussion before you should be able to anticipate my answer because you said Im a gulliable warmizombie that has been brainwashed. That's fun but I'm bored of that now so I was hopeing to have a civil disscussion with someone capable of being civil.

The graph represents the latest knowledge (at least as of 2012) of the relative forcing contributions.

Based on what knowledge? The IPCC's graph shows the forcings dating back to 1750. But no-one was measuring the forcing from changes in cloud cover back in 1750, were they? So how can anyone know that? We have only been measuring that with the advent of satellites in the 1960's and 1970's. And the measurements from the 1980's to the 2000's show a decrease in cloud cover and an estimated increase in shortwave forcing of 3-6 W/m2. Why does the IPCC not take this into account? (I will reference some of these studies in my next post).

As I asked earlier if we assume that you are correct why is cloud cover changing?

I'm not trying to trip you up I am intrested in your thoughts. Because I don't understand what is causing cloud cover to vary.

Its a complex issue. It depends on many factors but globally the level of cloud cover does not seem to be changing much (more in the north, less in the south).

It also depends on different thicknesses, different altitudes and different latitudes different mechanisms.

The problem is that the reflective property of clouds (cooling) is similar to the blanketing property of the same clouds. So the effect is smaller than most people think.

I don't know. There are many possible drivers of observed cloud cover changes and climate scientists of the present day have not investigated all of it thoroughly and have yet comprehended it all in their understanding. But I am sure that warmists would argue that the decrease in clouds is due to man.

Here are some of those studies:

http://file.scirp.org/Html/22-4700327_50837.htm

(Estimated global forcing of 5.4 W/m2 from 1984 to 2009)

http://nml.yonsei.ac.kr/front/bbs/paper/rad/RAD_2005-3_Wild_et_al.pdf

(Estimated global forcing of 6 W/m2 from 1991 to 2001)

http://bbso.njit.edu/Research/EarthShine/literature/Palle_etal_2005a_GRL.pdf

(Estimated global forcing of 2-3 W/m2 to 6-7 W/m2 across all data-sets)

http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/abs/10.1175/JCLI-D-12-00280.1

(An estimated decrease in global cloud cover of around 1.6%. No forcing given. But based on IPCC's figures a 1.6% decrease in cloud-cover corresponds to an increase in shortwave forcing of around 2.7 W/m2).

http://www.xraymachines.info/article/447558667/new-paper-finds-large-surface-solar-radiation-increase-of-4-per-decade-uv-increase-7-per-decade/

http://www.atmos-chem-phys.net/14/12251/2014/acp-14-12251-2014.html

Quote from paper:

Concerning the global solar radiation, many publications agree on the existence of a solar dimming period between 1970 and 1985 and a subsequent solar brightening period (Norris and Wild, 2007; Solomon et al 2007; Makowski et al 2009; Stjern et al 2009; Wild et al 2009; Sanchez−Lorenzo and Wild 2012). Different studies have calculated the trend in Sg [global solar radiation] after 1985. The trend in Sg from GEBA (Global Energy Balance Archive); between 1987 and 2002 is equal to +1.4(3.4) Wm−2 per decade according to Norris and Wild (2007). Stjern et al (2009) found a total change in the mean surface solar radiation trend over 11 stations in northern Europe of +4.4% between 1983 and 2003. In the Fourth Assessment Report of the IPCC (Solomon et al 2007), 421 sites were analysed; between 1992 and 2002, the change of all-sky surface solar radiation was equal to 0.66 W m−2 per year. Wild et al (2009) investigated the global solar radiation from 133 stations from GEBA/World Radiation Data Centre belonging to different regions in Europe. All series showed an increase over the entire period, with a pronounced upward tendency since 2000. For the Benelux region, the linear change between 1985 and 2005 is equal to +0.42 W m−2 per year, compared to the pan-European average trend of +0.33 W m−2 per year (or +0.24 W m−2 if the anomaly of the 2003 heat wave is excluded). Our trend of +0.5(0.2) W m−2 per year (or +4% per decade) agrees within the error bars with the results from Wild et al (2009)".


Compare the Sg trend of +1.4(3.4) W/m2 per decade from 1987-2002 in Norris and Wild (2007) to the estimated forcing from CO2 of 0.2 W/m2 over a decade: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nature14240.html

It seems that nature is in control to me. Unless man is controlling clouds.

Doesn't cloud cover change naturally? Have there ever been two separate days that have had the exact same cloud cover?

Cloud cover, like the weather, is random, per the weather that is random.

From the abstract of Norris and Wild (2007):

Changes in cloud cover cannot account for the trends in surface SW flux since cloud cover actually slightly decreased during 1971–1986 and slightly increased during 1987–2002. The most likely explanation is changes in anthropogenic aerosol emissions that led to more scattering and absorption of SW radiation during the earlier period of solar "dimming" and less scattering and absorption during the later period of solar "brightening."

Surely this is indicating that cloud cover has little effect on surface shortwave flux and that the changes in shortwave flux were likely due to anthropogenic aerosol emissions. Aren't Norris and Wild actually saying that the changes are indeed man-made?

I probably referenced the wrost paper I could have at the end then. The other papers above all show that decreased cloud cover has had a signficant effect on incoming shortwave radiation, between around 3 to 6 W/m2.

Even the figures by Norries and Wild show a trend of +1.4(3.4) W/m2 per decade which swamps the "measured" back-radiation from anthropogenic CO2. But you're right, that particular paper does seem to point the finger of blame at humans.

The papers at the start before the quote don't blame humans though.

The idea that anthropogenic aerosols could have caused the global brightening from the 1980's to the 2000's seems remarkable to me since it is accepted that cloud cover did decrease during that period and the increase in shortwave forcing from that decrease is easily calculated with the IPCC's own figures.

Right, there is no evidence that the sun has provided increased energy to the Earth. The cosmic ray theory simply doesn't hold water. For one, if such a major supernova ever occurred to have rays reach Earth recently, it would have been clearly detectable. Also, as the video says, the rays are absorbed in the upper levels of the atmosphere and minimal rays would even penetrate the heliosphere. For a supernova to have effects on the Earth, it would have to occur exceptionally close to Earth. This has not occurred, and this theory can be ruled out completely.

The only possibility that I could think of is manmade Co2...... and also you forgot to mention the feedback loop caused by melting permafrost. This is presumably driven by manmade Co2 causing a warming of the atmosphere, but the melting permafrost causes decomposition of frozen plant matter which creates methane and Co2. This creates further warming, and this drives further permafrost melting which creates even more warming. Given the volume of the permafrost and the amount of frozen material, it may be difficult to predict precisely how much of this could be released. No one knows the exact figure of how much frozen plant and animal matter is frozen in the permafrost.
