I would like to put something out there.I know if a glass or Esky has one tiny speck of ice in it the water can not be over 1 degree C.It must be less or there would be no ice.I see people in summer tipping the cold water out their Eskies and putting fresh ice on warm beer.If the water is at less than one degree you should put the 30 degree beer in it.In about 20 minutes the beer and water will be around 15 degrees now when the fresh ice is put on the beer it wont all melt in 5 minutes.The ice in chunks you get from roadhouses is around 4-5 minus.I personaly freeze down my own 1.25L ice bottles and if left in a domestic freezer it can get down to minus 21 which obviously has a lot more potential energy and the water can be used when it is all melted.The Antarctic bottom water with temperatures ranging from −0.8 to 2 °C (35 °F), Is cold as.I am sure it is direct sunlight that thaws the ice in summer not water temp

All I know is there are a hell of a lot of things going on with this planet, that never stop, never pause, for people to take measurements, make adjustments, run the data through a computer model. People. have a much narrower focus, and only look a few things that interest them, or seem relevant. We really can't fully grasp what all is happening in the world at an single moment, and yet, we are obsessed with things that might have happened in the past, or will happen in the future. We can't change the past, and very little we can change for the furure.

You can toss an ice cube into a cup of hot soup, but that doesn't mean the soup is below freezing.

It does mean the thermal energy of the soup is dissipating into the ice. Combined, the soup/ice combination has the same average temperature as when the hot soup melts the ice and the temperature is uniform throughout the soup (ignoring losses to the room).

Think of the newly introduced ice cube into the hot soup as minimal entropy. As entropy increases, the ice melts and the soup is cooled. The soup is heating the ice, melting it into water. The lukewarm soup that has completely melted the ice is a maximum entropy.

During this entire process, energy is neither being created nor destroyed. It is simply spreading uniformly throughout the soup.

Yes, the Sun melts polar ice each summer. Weak as it is, it's up all day and all night. Despite the glancing angle, it's enough to melt quite a bit of ice each year.

Bets are made in northern Alaska on when the ice breakup begins each spring. Seals use it to get away from the polar bears, which will be coming out hibernation soon...and hungry.

Of course, polar bears can swim, and they can swim quite well. Polar bears will swim miles out to sea in search of seals to eat. The females face an especial problem, since they have cubs to feed as well and those cubs cannot swim so far. They are limited to other food and lazy seals that didn't head out to icebergs for safety.

The polar bears are increasing in number in everywhere but Alaska, where the population is somewhat stable, but declines from time to time as the bears move east into Canada to feed.

You are quite right. Time is a significant biasing factor when attempting to measure a temperature. Storms move. Earth spins causing the Sun to appear to move across the sky, Land and sea are unevenly heated.

To measure the temperature of the Earth, the influence of time must be removed. All thermometers must be read at the same time by the same authority, and that measurement would be good only for that instant in time.

The other biasing factor that must be removed, of course, is location grouping. Thermometers are not placed uniformly across the surface of Earth. A dozen thermometers in a city tell you nothing about a point just a few miles away. Temperature can vary easily as much as 20 deg F per mile.

You sound as though you think humanity has been ineffective in accomplishing anything with knowledge of the world around us. Of course we're obsessed with figuring out our universe it's where all the profit and loss is.

Your quote literally would only 1/2 make sense several thousand years ago as a challenge to the village astrologer. Now it's absurdly dismissive of how effective science and technology have been.

Just because something is complicated and difficult to figure out, at this time, doesn't make it false.

200 years ago when a physician argued for the theory that a surgeon not washing their hands caused infections in patients they struggled to prove their point. Some might dismiss their theory by actually concluding that because they couldn't conclusively demonstrate that it was true, it must be false.
"In the spring of 1850, Semmelweis took the stage at the prestigious Vienna Medical Society and extolled the virtues of hand washing to a crowd of doctors. ... Historians believe they also rejected his theory because it blamed them for their patients' deaths."link

A "Straw man" is changing the argument being made to one that is weak and easily defeated.
Picking as the sole consequence of AGW that there is a predicted 2mm sea level rise, which is one of the most difficult to measure over a short period of time, and then concluding that because you cannot measure it it must not be happening, is a classic example.

If you want to continue looking for photographs that prove to you there is not a 2mm per year rise in sea level have at it. You will only be wasting your own time.

Here I'll give you an example of what you are doing:
There is the argument that cigarettes are a health risk. The real core argument is that they cause lung cancer.
Now I could change that argument into a straw man argument by saying that it's claimed that cigarettes are dangerous because one might drop one and start a fire burning their house down, which is technically true. I could then point out that no one says candles should be illegal and that even incense burns. So really cigarettes aren't so dangerous as it's claimed because if you look at the statistics very few houses burn down as a result.

Youre either incredibly dense, Fing with me or I have failed to communicate.

Last try:

The theory that sea levels are rising (due at least in part to AGW) is based on measurements and puts the increase at about 2mm a year.

It is not my theory.

Again: It is not my theory

Really take that in.

I dont care at all about this aspect of AGW theory and think only morons do. Note my first topic here dismissing it: link

Why?

Because clearly by the same measurements sea levels were rising through the early 1900s before AGW would have had a major impact. Also the change is so small no short term measurements are useful.

It occurs to me based on your replies you're either not reading my posts or don't know what a millimeter is. So here:


Tip of a sharp crayon

The theory is the ocean rises that much in a year.

So continue to waste your time on the topic if you please.

I won't.

I think Duncan quite clearly is asking you to support your ABSURD insistence that the sea level is rising.

Others have quite clearly asked you to unambiguously define your ABSURD concept of AGW that seems to involve violations of physics.

... so ... have at it.

Enter the scientific method. We find a long-time smoker who never develops lung cancer. Voila! A counterexample that falsifies the theory of causation. Something else must "cause" lung cancer in those who develop it.

How come cigarettes are still legal, people allowed to smoke, if there is such confidence in the health hazards? Because, there is only what's considered a higher risk, of getting cancer. Basically. if non smokers have a 0.012% chance of developing lung cancer, while a smoker has a 0.031% chance, smokers are about 3 times more likely. Regardless though, there is only a small chance of lung cancer. It's just a democrat tool to control a good size segment of the population, discriminate , demonize, and steal their wealth.

Wearing a mask, is a similar case, since there is only a slight benefit, about the same as covering you mouth, or turning away, when you cough or sneeze. No point to wearing a mask, if you don't have a cold, and not coughing or sneezing. People who don't join the mask-cult, are demonized attacked, stripped of their wealth (civil fines for non-compliance).

How in the hell can the global sea level be measured, down to a milometer resolution? Have you ever been to the beach, or on a saltwater boat? Calm, flat sea is very rare. Normally, it dips, it swells, there are waves for surfing. Most coastal communities have tide markers, as a reminder for people with boats, so they don't run aground, get stuck on sand bars. You can see the salt deposits that build up naturally over the years. You can also see there is a lot of variation, lines in those deposits. Obviously, there are many the sea level never stays the same. Arguing a 2 milometer sea level rise, because of melting ice is absurd, since there is a natural variation of measured in feet. Averages, in a global claim, mean absolutely nothing, if your data only contains a small, very selective sample, that doesn't represent the entire planet.

Ever what Al Gore's award winning documentary? Rising sea levels, is one of the arguments used, to justify global warming crap. Certainly, this isn't news to you, so this is just another of your fool games. Can we agree that you are a fool?

If it was pointless, why respond? To play a fool game? Can we agree, you aren't very intelligent? A moron?

... then why do you insist that the sea level is rising? Why do you not admit that, as far as you know, the sea level could be lowering?

NASA claim their altimetry satellites can measure to a millimetre its what all the fuss is about.

Quote Satellite altimeter
Satellite altimetry measures the time taken for a radar pulse to travel from the satellite to the sea surface and back to the satellite. Radar altimeters map the topography of the ocean surface with unprecedented accuracy.

I will make clear my position at 800am 30/11/2020
I do not find it credible that NASA can measure sea level rise.What they have done is gather the tide data and build a program to make the Satellite data coincide then monitor the changes.
The program has not run long enough to do squat
NASA built it they have to say it works
Nils axel Morner is on the ground doing outside research in real time
Just South of Perth is Rockingham and it is open to the ocean but very sheltered.There is next to no tide movement and there has been no observed sea level change since 1967.My lifetime I fished of the jetty with my dad
My fixation with sea levels is that is the big drama with the AGW/CC claim
all the other bits do not matter.The plants animal migration is an example.There are lions in South Africa and in Eygpt across that vast expanse.Where they going to go next.Every country has a big cat of some sort.Jaguars in South America.Snow leopards in Asia.Australia had no cats but we do now and the Feral cats get big.You have mountan lions in good ole USA.You get the picture.Its a big scare campagn to stop people having stuff.A county in UK has stopped allowing meat products at council events because we all have to go vegan and walk to work Last comment.The insults are starting its not a good look for the debate team

Yes and and I've been clear it's not my theory or a theory a subscribe to.

Do you need me to say that again?

Regarding the theory that the evidence and measurements of sea level we have now show AGW has caused sea levels to rise; it is not my theory or a theory a subscribe to. My first topic here called BS on it.

That's actually not why it's a stupid thing to debate. My opinion is not relevant. It's pointless to debate it because empirical evidence, as in real measurements, aren't useful over the short term since the changes are so minute.

Could be Al Gore's predictions are true but you cannot refute or establish that empirically right now.

Discussing the theory behind it could be interesting but no one currently on this board is interested in doing that.

Nope. Straw man Duncan.

You have made up a position that does not exist (no where does Nasa claim they can measure sea level changes within 1mm form a satellite) and you are pretending it's the lynch pin of the AGW case.

Good luck with that.

FYI (google is your friend):
https://phys.org/news/2015-05-sea-level-scientists.html
"It finds that the overall rate of sea level rise between 1993 and mid-2014 is between 2.6 and 2.9 mm per year, with a margin of error of plus or minus 0.4 mm." So that is a range of 0.3mm over a 20 year period +/-0.4. So that would mean those researchers are 95% confident that the sea level rise over a 20 year periods was between 2.2mm and 3.3mm. So a total change of 44mm, 1 3/4 inches, or as high as 66mm, 2 1/2 inches. That is the what is calculated on the measurements for a 20 year stretch, combining any natural change with AGW changes whatever they may be. Minute enough for you? So that's the last time I'm taking this up with you Duncan.

You insist that you know that there are, in fact, changes, and that they are minute, and that they are measured. You also refuse to produce any sort of valid measurement set that somehow "shows" these minute changes which you insist are measured.

The word is "unfalsifiable." Your religious faith is unfalsifiable. What you preach is unfalsifiable.

You absolutely are interested ... so discuss it. I, for my part, am happy to discuss all the physics it violates in the name of being your "thettled thienth."

Great point Duncan. Stay on it.

tgoebbles wrote:you are pretending it's the lynchpin of the AGW case.

Prove that it is somehow NOT the lynchpin of AGW. For all anyone knows, it's as good a lynchpin as any, AGW being completely undefined as it is.

Duncan, stay on it.

NASA has been taken over by Marxists who have hijacked the agency and force it to stand in solidarity with WACKY leftists. Ergo, NASA officially claims an annual sea level rise of 3.3mm.

Sea level rise interests me, because I live in the middle of Florida. I've got ocean, less than an hour drive, east or west. Florida was already predicted to be submerged by now. Of course, there hasn't been alarms raised locally. Yet, the global warming crowd keeps insisting that Florida is sinking.

I'm a newbie with little experience in this area, this may be a stupid question. The Global Warming scientist's put forward charts/graphs showing how the ice caps have been melting over the past 50 years or so. Plotting the various positions for how many tonnes of ice has melted each year. We are shown a graph trending upwards, but not a straight line. More a squiggly modulating line - three steps forward two steps backward type of line. But carbon emissions (man made) have been pretty much a constant over that time period. It's not as if we have a break one year and put out twice as much co2 the next. So why do charts deviate up and down for each year? So why aren't we see a straight steady decline in the line?

"Global Warming scientist" is a contradiction in terms. Global Warming is a WACKY religion and has no science supporting it. Its leaders are religious hierarchy. There is no such thing as a scientist of an unfalsifiable religion.

Also, ice caps have been melting but they have been growing at the same time. The growth exceeds the melt such that the polar ice caps are increasing in overall ice mass. The surface of both ice sheets is net accumulating by multiple meters of ice thickness per year.

One more time, multiple meters of ice thickness accumulating per year.

Tricolours wrote: So why do charts deviate up and down for each year? So why aren't we see a straight steady decline in the line?

Because it's a total scam and all the charts are simply fabricated for the benefit of those who are being manipulated. This is why you are never shown any valid data set or told what the target margin of error was.

I think a lot of 'scientists' are reluctant to leave the lab anymore. Why travel, and do all that unpleasant work outdoors in the wild, when you can just simulate it on a computer model. Seems like computer models are used a lot more for other disciplines, and there gets to be some confusion between virtual, and actual data. A lot of the pandemic, has been about the computer models. The recent election, the polls and projections, done with computer models.

Ice melts in the summer, and reforms each winter. It's never equal amounts of melting, or reforming each year.
