are there any papers by well reputed experts that state that the climate chage is man made? I know this is a very heated discussion subject, so don't try to read between the lines. I am a scientist who would understand a scientific argument, but I am no expert and wish to find a sober lead into the conversation.

Are there collection of papers that argue both sides of this argument?

For example I read a commentary in RSOC (sort of consensus) that said that the naive models based in simple thermodynamics cannot explain the rise in temperature based on carbon emissions, BUT (it goes on to say) the climate is much more complicated than those simplistic models. What I found a bit odd is the logical fallacity of this argument. Just because its complicated doesn't make it true (or not true). NB the RSOC article was "silently" in favour of man made climate change. I could try to find it to reference here, but I guess I don't care particularly about that summary comment. I care about data and collective oppinions by good recognised experts.

From everything I've read, the scientists that might be worth listening to don't say much. In the 1990's they said ozone depletion caused by ODSs. The 1987 Montreal Protocol banned or limited many ODSs.
A German undergraduate student for his PhD thesis studied SO2 and temperatures around Europe and found a relationship. So2 emissions are about 10% of what they were 40 years ago.
Some scientists say that deep faults and hydrothermal vents on the sea floor are releasing heat.
The science behind ozone depletion is very much accepted. With CO2, they can't show it's effects in real time.
This will get some people going https://binged.it/2SZj1G9. What they won't understand, they'll need to learn for themselves what it means.

There are plenty. Bajillions!

What you won't find, however, are any papers that unambiguously define "Climate" such that the paper itself is a scientific treatise and not merely religious dogma. Absolutely NONE.

But yes, there are many Global Warming worshipers who preach human-powered change of the Climate goddess.

Those ARE the real issues. You deny all three of these laws as well as mathematics, and you are making void argument fallacies by using meaningless buzzwords.

Climate is not complex. A desert climate is a desert climate, a marine climate is a marine climate, etc. It has no quantitative values.

thank you all for the comments so far.

My summary position is that I did not wish (yet) to enter into a point by point conversation as this is meaningless for me. This is such a multifactorial problem that discussing point by point is almost certain to lead no-where.

As I said in my original post, I wanted a virtual debate from a list of publications by well reputed experts discussing either side of this argument. James made an effort (thank you) and timiddles too, allthoug a link to another heated blog goes against my principle as stated above.

If you take the top 10 scientists in the field, what is their position on this subject?? I know a "top 10" chart is not a panacea, but it's a start.

Sorry I am asking someone else to do the job for me, but I was hoping that those who have spent a lot of time on the issue would easily know the answer and give me a head start.

As I mentioned they take on all the major arguments so I'd use them as a framework to tackle researching some of the topics on your own.

I'd say as a general comment that there are three conclusions one could draw on something being true when it's been stated it's an issue:
1- It's not true at all, nothing too it or it's virtually non-existent (the Moon having an atmosphere for example)
2- It is true but does not have the impact or effect being claimed. It's a deal but not a big deal
3- Yes it's as big a deal and as significant as what was claimed.

Most of the debate on the major issues surrounding climate change are between 2 and 3 and very rarely 1 unless you're dealing with crackpots.

So for example asking the question how many scientists believe in AGW is the wrong question. You should ask how many think AGW is a serious threat.

But again the link I provided is a good one for the structure alone. They go through the major topics pretty methodically. I have not found a skeptic/denier site I would recommend yet but let me know if you find one you like. Here's an example I don't recommend: http://hockeyschtick.blogspot.com/ because it's all over the place, disorganized and citations that are credible and real flimsy stuff are presented as equals.

It isn't about the top 10 scientists. It's about the laws of physics, such as the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics and the Stefan-Boltzmann law, and the rules of mathematics, particularly statistical and probability mathematics. The Church of Global Warming denies all of it.

tmiddles firmly believes that he speaks for reality.

The truth is that all of the crackpots are in categories 2 and 3, falling victims to Marxist indoctrination.

tmiddles is one of the crackiest pots available.

tmiddles wrote:So for example asking the question how many scientists believe in AGW is the wrong question.

Correct. You might as well ask how so many scientists are Catholic. Nothing precludes any scientist from having strong religious convictions.


tmiddles wrote:[quote]You should ask how many think AGW is a serious threat.

Nope. Absolutely the wrong question for the same reason above.

The correct question to ask is why so many people firmly believe that there is somehow SCIENCE supporting the Global Warming religion when nobody has ever seen any such science.

The next question is why hasn't any of the devout believers ever DEMANDED to be shown this science, or why they mindlessly dismiss any and all science that falsifies the Global Warming dogma?

The next question, which SHOULD be the first question, is why aren't any warmizombies ever able to unambiguously define the global climate? None, ever. No science can possibly apply to that which remains undefined despite warmizombies insisting it is "settled science."

The basic physics have been known for quite some time. One of the latter published papers on the matter can be found here:
https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/2016GL071930
The increased levels of CO2 represents an increase of the Free house effect with 1.95 W/m2, CH4 is at 0.62 W/m2 and N2O is at 0.18 W/m2. Theese three alone = 2.75 W/m2

If you want to know how the solar irradiation (TSI) has been look here:
https://spot.colorado.edu/~koppg/TSI/
Never mind the layout, Gregg kopp knows his way around TSI and has a few published papers..

So what about heat from our own planet ? Earth surface heat flux is about 47 TW, and while thag sounds like an awful amount ut only adds up to ~0.09 W/m2

I also enchorage you to look up milankowitch. This was a smart guy back in the early 1900's.
https://www.livescience.com/64813-milankovitch-cycles.html
Not the best source, but it gives a Good idea of what he found out. Read that with Greg's page in mind


There are probably other sources as well, but theese are a few rather Good ones to start with.

Of course it is about the 10 (or 20 or X) top experts. After I know what they have to say, I can draw my own conclusions. And yes it is about thermodynamics, but a thermos flask behaves differently to a water mellon. And that's where the complexity starts.

thank you, I still need to do my home work, but gere is the general rationale behind my inquiry, which is related to the above phrase:

IF global warming is natural, then yes it is a huge threat but no matter how many resources you throw at it, it may not make a difference. Yes a commet crashing on earth is a huge threat to the ecosystem, but we ignore this threat because we cannot deal with it. We would stop history waiting for the inevitable.

IF global warming is man made, then this is a whole different story, because we can take measures such as reducing carbon emissions or plant trees and regulate the negative effects.

Of course one could say, that's all very good, but it's good practice to protect the planet and not polute it ANYWAY. I would agree with that, but the question is where does one draw the line and that's where the above dilemma makes a difference imho.

Few points I see on that:

Burning fossil fuels producing higher levels of CO2 isn't a problem at all and isn't pollution if the AGW theory is all wrong.

We know that the global climate has warmed and cooled through history so demontrating natural warming doesn't mean AGW isn't happening.

Sort of reminds me of "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they aren't out to get you." And the flip side "Just because they really were after you doesn't mean you're not paranoid".

One thing I'm very interested in is finding historical social phenomenons that parrallel this one so hind sight can serve us.

Well if you see an ambiguous definition you try to make it less ambiguous. And then argue on that. For example, instead of climate change, you can use global warming which is less ambiguous (?).

For example NASA claims that the solar irradiation is not enough to explain global warming. Of course there are assumptions in their analysis, since their records only go back to the late 70s.

So I was wandering whether some expert who has access to data and is sophisticated enough, has expressed the opposite conclusion. I.e. that solar irradiation does justify global warming.

The basic physics have been known for quite some time.

There are no physics relating to 'climate change'. No one has DEFINED 'climate change'. Climate has no quantity. There is nothing to change.

Not a discovery. A theory. Like any theory, it might be wrong. No theory is a proof. This particular theory is not even a theory of science. It describes past unobserved events and tries to relate them together.

thank you, I still need to do my home work, but gere is the general rationale behind my inquiry, which is related to the above phrase:

IF global warming is natural, then yes it is a huge threat but no matter how many resources you throw at it, it may not make a difference. Yes a commet crashing on earth is a huge threat to the ecosystem, but we ignore this threat because we cannot deal with it. We would stop history waiting for the inevitable.

IF global warming is man made, then this is a whole different story, because we can take measures such as reducing carbon emissions or plant trees and regulate the negative effects.

Of course one could say, that's all very good, but it's good practice to protect the planet and not polute it ANYWAY. I would agree with that, but the question is where does one draw the line and that's where the above dilemma makes a difference imho.


IF you can define 'global warming' or 'climate change', then you have something to talk about. Until then, you are making a void argument fallacy.

Few points I see on that:

Burning fossil fuels producing higher levels of CO2 isn't a problem at all and isn't pollution if the AGW theory is all wrong.

Fossils don't burn. We don't use them for fuel. What AGW theory? Define 'global warming'. Define 'climate change'.

There is no such thing as a 'global climate'. Earth has many climates. Climate is not temperature. It has not quantitative value.

Easy. Look at examples of Stalinist Russia, Hitler, Mussolini, or any other dictator or oligarchy to come along since. All are caused by the same thing the Church of Global Warming is trying to justify: socialism.

pollution doesn't only cause global warming. It also casuses asthma, cancer, and environmental ugliness.

Define 'pollution'. Define 'global warming'. Define 'environmental ugliness'.

Let's see where you are going with this
(I will define smilie later)

Let us assume a set of temperature measuring devices placed in many positions in the earth atmosphere, in a homogenous distribution, in all directions (height, angular).

Let us call T(t) the average temperature measured by these devices at any one point in time t.

Let us call To(t) the averaging of T(t) over an arbitrary long period of time (for example a century).

Global warming dT(t) is defined as the statistically significant trend of the running average To(t) over any chosen time period (for example 1000 years).

BTW you are wrong that NASA is not talking about global warming. Look in https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/features/GlobalWarming/page4.php

Ok, let us take a water mellon and a thermos flask and place them against the sun (choose your prefered orientation and shape of the thermos. You can even assume a spherical thermos).

Then, since you state that you don't need to know anything other than the formula you presented above, can you please calculate the temperature as a function of radius from the center of each body (that would include the temperature inside and outside of the reflective thermos sphere)?

Firstly don't treat me as if I am in favour of any definition, as I begun this thread with a question about the top experts in the field related to the "subject" you don't want to name. So I am an agnostic so far.

However since you keep bringing this up, I don't consider the term 'climate change' such a huge ambiguity.

I think 'global warming' is easy to define as an average rise of the temperature near the surface of the earth.

Assuming this is the case, then this rise in average temperature almost certainly will cause a change in the global chaotic climate patterns. This change of pattern can be a very significant threat to life. I would agree that it is very difficult to define metrics, but that is not an incentive to ignore it, but rather to be even more concerned. I think we should distinguish between pointless science and science that has not been invented yet. In this subject we see both in random mixes.

This guy is an ice core researcher. His credentials are
Ph.D. Center for Ice and Climate, Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen
He is an expert in his field. Since we don't understand natural climate variation, we can't say how much if any warming is attributed to CO2. After all, O2 plays a role in removing heat from the atmosphere but we're not talking about it's diminished levels, are we? If you read what he has to say, there were climate ripples in the northern hemisphere during the last ice age when it warmed significantly without CO2. And today, the Arctic is the place where warming is most pronounced. I think something might be getting ready to happen but that could take a century and be quite significant. Why bread crumbs are good to follow.

He states that;
One can conclude that man had nothing to do with the end of the ice age. CO2 and climate continued to change at the same rate until industrialisation. I could be worried that our CO2 emissions could very well go and have serious consequences; but one should not believe that nature will just remain at rest if we let it be: Ice ages and climate ripples are good examples that nature is neither environmentally neutral or politically correct.

TSI means Total Solar Iradiance and is a nothing more tham a meassure if the effect / area unit (W/m2) the earth/atmosphere system gets from the sun. Hence, it can be categorized as one of the natural aspects of climate change.

When speaking of TSI it is important to know that the values are perpendicullar to the sun. So if you look at Gregg TSI page all values are given as a perpendicular value, and not representing how many W each m2 of the earth gets from the sun at any given point of time. And since the area of a sphere in relation to the area of a circle with the same radius is 4:1 you need to take that Into account.

While the above may seem quite simple, there are actually many People that claims that the figures for TSI and earths energy balance are off by a factor of 4. There was quite an interesting "discussion" between Joe Postma and Roy Spencer on that matter last year.

I don't however know and video about TSI. I would think NASA should have published a few on youtube though.

Changes in natural parameters, such as the ones I mentioned above has always had an effect on earths climate. We have had many changes in climate over the eons of time. The knowledge from theese changes have - among others - been important to understand why we see the changes we are seeing right now. Jeremy Shakun has among others an interesting paper on this matter:
https://www.nature.com/articles/nature10915

But this is not really an answer to your question. I have not seen any serious expert claiming that the current changes we see are natural. Now that does not mean that natural causes do not effect climate.

When you read what "experts" say, look for the source of it. And in particular, look at what scientific magazine that published their findings. I also look at journal metrics to see how creadible the journal itself is if I dont kmow about it. That is no bullet proof argument, but being published in Nature or Lancet is in general top notch by a scientific standard. That does not mean that errors doesn't happen, just look at this
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1585-5
Or this
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0921818117306586
But do read the retraction notice to see WHY a paper has been retracted.

Then there are simple basic physical rules that we can not ignore. One of them is the green house effect, and the effect that increasing levels of greenhouse gasses has on that effect. Unfortunally there are far to many ignoring this fact. That is the very definition of denying science - just as blaming increased levels of CO2 for causing Bush fires in Australia.

The links are to the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. I hope they are considered credible. They agree with the Danish ice core researcher who I referenced.

As it stands, the rapid rise of carbon dioxide during the deglaciation periods is unexplained � and not for want of trying by many geochemists. This means, in fact, that we cannot predict how the ocean will react to warming, with regard to emission of carbon dioxide from the sea to the air or a decrease in the uptake of industrial carbon dioxide. All we can say is that, over the last 400,000 years, there seems to have been a positive feedback at work: whenever the climate became warmer, carbon dioxide and methane rose and helped make the climate even warmer.

Some scientists go even further. They say that carbon dioxide rose first, before the warming, and that this is proof that carbon dioxide drives the warming. A rise in carbon dioxide might indeed be the first thing to happen at the beginning of deglaciation. But perhaps the initial rise of carbon dioxide is like the initial gathering of the clouds announcing a storm. The clouds do not make the storm; they show that the process has begun and that the system is ready to change.

http://earthguide.ucsd.edu/virtualmuseum/climatechange2/07_2.shtml
http://earthguide.ucsd.edu/

What we don't know is how much warmer. This hasn't been demonstrated yet.
Science requires that a hypothesis be tested. A computer model is not a repeatable experiment. This does not allow for peer review. Why there is a debate. I have shown 2 groups of credible scientists that say that they are doubtful that CO2 is the driver of climate change as some claim. And a computer model is a claim. It is not based on empirical evidence such as a repeatable experiment.
The focus on CO2 has actually hurt any discussion of trying to understand the things that influence the warming and cooling of our planet.
