Then he claims that lithium is cheap and common despite the fact that the most common form of lithium is not water soluble and most of the lithium being mined is via a method of pumping water far down into the earth, allowing it to pick up a soluble form and then pumping it out and onto a lake bed where it takes between six months and 3 years to dry out to the point where it has to be processed. The insoluble form is taken from HUGE open pit mines (some a mile or more in diameter and a mile deep.) as part of mining other materials. And the processing of that is equally energy intensive. Or you can have a dozen people attack you saying EXACTLY the same thing and the moderator says nothing but if you make the same claim with studies showing it to be true he will cut your posting because you are "repeating".

These things are important: humid weather is more likely to be cloudy, and, while cloudy days tend to be cooler, cloudy nights tend to be milder. Also, the cooling effect of clouds is likely to be more pronounced in summer, while the warming effect is likely to predominate in winter. More detail is needed before any conclusions can be drawn! |

I have determined the total emissivity of a mixture of gases containing 5% of water vapor and 0.039% of carbon dioxide in all spectral bands where their absorptivities/emissivities overlap. The result of these calculations is that the carbon dioxide attenuates the total absorptivity/emissivity of the water vapor, working like a coolant, not a warmer of the atmosphere and the surface. The sum result of this data demonstrates that there is no climate change beyond the recovery from the little ice age and normal cyclic weather variations. So there is no climate change. It is mostly nothing but a figment of the imagination of man with his short lifespan compared to climate with it's millennia long patterns. Edited on 25-03-2017 01:15 |

"old sick silly sleepy sleezy slimy steenkin' AGW denier liar whiner frenziedmex's" muffed: Were they not to corroborate the paper, they might sink the whole AGW boat. frenziedmex is jealous 'cause it ain't got no science chemistry astronomy physics algebra & pre-calc in an unearned hi skule DEE-plooomaa to construct any peer-reviewed papers of any caliber. Long ago "old sick silly sleepy sleezy slimy steenkin' AGW denier liar whiner frenziedmex's" friends took the AGW denier liar whiner boat, newly christened & launched, & rolled & sank it. Fortunately, it was built so poorly, it sank in only 60 feet of water, just off the dry dock where it, as stated, was poorly built. Meanwhile: It appears that 2017 Arctic sea ice extent maximum could have reached its peak sometime ago, & like 2015 & 2016, will NOT reach 14 million square kilometers extent maximum.... just remarkable!! Arctic sea ice VOLUME growth should continue to or into April, but only as a bit more sea ice thickening, not as extra southward expansion frontage. All three years have been very close to the 14 million square kilometer mark, AND even for extended periods of time. But each of the trio has left a graph profile like a volcano with its top blown off & below the 14 mark. Robert Scribbler makes mention of this year's Arctic sea ice maximum extent: https://robertscribbler.com/2017/03/20/frailest-ever-winter-sea-ice-facing-a-cruel-cruel-summer/ Not only was 2017 Arctic sea ice extent maximum below 14 million square kiometers, it actually DIDN'T reach 13.9 million square kilometers. AND THAT SEA ICE was thin. Of course, March 2017 Arctic sea ice VOLUME was 9600 cubic kilometers less than the average of the 1980's, & 11,000(+?) cubic kilometers less than 1980, itself, but even a thousand (+?) cubic kilometers less than record breaking years, 2015 & 2016. It is good that AGW denier liar whiners double-down & triple-down(?) on their bets that Earth is returning to an ice age. Not mentioned earlier.... during this time of year, when yearly sea ice maximum variations are reduced..... 2017 Arctic sea ice maximum extent was well LESS THAN 2 million square kilometers than for the year 1979. 2017 Arctic sea ice extent is so low as of Mar. 22, that 1980 DECADE average sea ice extent was NOT as low until MAY 9. Beyond that tidbit was this largebit: At these divergent times WHEN ARCTIC SEA ICE EXTENT WAS THE SAME, 1980 decade average VOLUME WAS 30,000+ cubic kilometers, while 2017 VOLUME is 18,600 cubic kilometers. The sun is an arcdegree off the horizon at the North Pole.However, at the Arctic Circle & places further south where there is sea ice, the sun is 15 to 20+ arcdegrees above the horizon & daily rising in the sky at nearly its fastest rate of the year, one of the reasons the Arctic is presently losing sea ice. As mentioned above, 2+million KM2 is water that was sea ice in 1979 & readily absorbing solar energy, instead of reflecting solar heat to space. Yeah, already excess AGW energy has a strong feedback, causing more solar energy to be absorbed. Wherever there are downwellings in that 2 million extra KM2 of water, solar energy is transported to bottom of continental shelves or into the deep Arctic Ocean for storage. https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/climate-change-ocean-heat-content From the article: More than 90 percent of the warming that has happened on Earth over the past 50 years has occurred in the ocean. Recent studies estimate that warming of the upper oceans accounts for about 63 percent of the total increase in the amount of stored heat in the climate system from 1971 to 2010, and warming from 700 meters down to the ocean floor adds about another 30 percent. Though the atmosphere has been spared from the full extent of global warming for now, heat already stored in the ocean will eventually be released, committing Earth to additional warming in the future.

@Litesong I'm sorry, I could have saved you that long diatribe by explaining that most observers don't contest that the planet is now warming. The question is what is causing the warming, how much longer will the warming last, and how warm will it get. It is because of this that I originally posed the question that is the subject of this thread. Edited on 25-03-2017 11:50 |

Take the opening sentence of the abstract: This assessment is a review of the common AGW argument on the carbon dioxide increasing the potential of the water vapor for absorbing and emitting IR radiation as a consequence of the overlapping absorption/emission spectral bands. This should be followed by a list of references e.g. (see [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) to a selection of papers published in scientific journals that make the claimed common AGW argument. You can't make unsubstantiated statements like that and expect to be taken at your word. To pass peer review, every statement made in a paper must be supported by evidence.
