Home/BlogThe Version 6 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for June, 2024 was +0.80 deg. C departure from the 1991-2020 mean, down from the May, 2024 anomaly of +0.90 deg. C.
The linear warming trend since January, 1979 remains at +0.15 C/decade (+0.13 C/decade over the global-averaged oceans, and +0.20 C/decade over global-averaged land).

At 0.8C, still a record for June, by a long way, completing a full year of record breaking. Next was 0.44C is 1998.
Your own site has only +0.56 with one day to go.
Climate Reanalyser has +0.69 with five days to go (adjusted to UAH baseline).
I think CR is probably closest to reality.
HTE has been amazing.

The rollercoaster is going down Nick
Hans Erren
” The rollercoaster is going down… ”
You remind me of one of the biggest “specialists” of this blog, who three years ago claimed that the fact that UAH 6.0 LT in that year showed 10 months in a row lower anomalies than in the same months of the previous year was a clear sign of cooling.:–)

I tried to explain to him that when you store the UAH time series in a SQL database and select all previous years showing the same behavior, you obtain this:
1981
1982
1989
1992
1999
2011

Wacht alstublieft, meneer Erren. De achtbaanrit komt misschien sneller weer omhoog dan we denken.
Bindidon Don’t put all your hopes on a transient spike, as people did in 1998
Strange, but I remember this blog for years being full of deniers using the 1998 “spike” to confabulate spurious hopes of a “cooling trend”. Right up until about 2016, in fact.
Hans may be a big fan of the Moncton Paws.

—————–
Wasn’t to be because nobody is looking at the right parameters. CO2 may be one but its not likely the largest one. there is too much natural variation in the instrument and ice core records for the pause to continue beyond 20 years and not show up as a cooling anomaly which requires 30 years.
the stage is now set for that to occur as the last time we were in this stage was 1940. I am not predicting that because obviously we still need to understand how much warming might be accruing from CO2 emissions, the unmeasured UHI, and human disruption of natural environments for agriculture and wood resources, not to speak of the poorly understood fluctuations of the solar dynamo.
As Dr. Syun Akasofu said if you want to attribute warming to humans you first have to learn how nature changes the climate. Milankovitch’s work identified many pulses of 20years, 100-400 years, and a large 2500 year pulse that amounted to about 35% the 100,000 year pulse.

Another monthly record. Warmest June by 0.36C. Here are the top ten warmest Junes.
Year Anomaly
1 2024 0.80
2 1998 0.44
3 2023 0.38
4 2019 0.35
5 2020 0.31
6 2016 0.21
7 1991 0.18
8 2010 0.18
9 2015 0.18
10 2002 0.17
And as Stokes says, this means there have now been 12 consecutive monthly records.
It’s also a record June for the USA, beating 2021 by 0.2C.
Looks almost certain that 2024 will be a record year. Anomalies will have to average about 0.1 for the rest of the year for that not to be the case. If it is a record this would be the first time in UAH history that there have been back to back records.
My own very simple regression model predicts 0.79 +/- 0.14C. Which would mean beating the record set last year, by over a quarter of a degree.
Bellman,
How hot will August be? Will more people die in New York from heat than 1896?
“The 1896 eastern North America heat wave was a 10-day heat wave in New York City, Boston, Newark and Chicago that killed about 1,500 people in August 1896.”
Not to worry, a recent paper co-authored by Andrew Dessler says “We estimate there are an average of 4,819 heat-related deaths per year and 31,625 cold-related deaths.”[in the US]
Maybe more heat would have resulted in less deaths?
Are you implying the existence of some heat creating effect but refusing to describe it? That would be silly, of course. Laughable, even.
Carry on.
Mike Flynn,
Which paper? Refusing to say?
Silly sock puppet!

So pretty much what I said.
2023-24 ENSO season (Jul-Jun) +0.87, just pipping 2019-20 (which just failed to qualify for what would have been the weakest and shortest El Nino) on +0.38.
I think some people here on my side of the debate forget that these anomalies are not cause for celebration.
I don’t.
You weren’t one of the ones I was thinking of.
Fimbulvetr is not a climate optimum.
Could I have the English version please.

gbaikies regular solar reports seem to have gone AWOL.
There appears to be a pattern to their appearance and disappearance, but I cant quite put my finger on it.
June Update: Zharkova + 39%
For those who refer to the 22-year cycle, there seems to be a problem.
The North appears to have peaked a year ago, the SAME hemisphere which peaked early last cycle. (Albeit 4 months later than last cycle, 15% stronger, and not falling away anywhere near as quickly.)
The South is still rising, as it was doing this time last cycle.
There has been no switcharoo of the timing of the peaks.

This is the start of steady global cooling.
Water vapor from the underwater volcano reducing.The peak of
Solar cycle 25 about to finish.
El Nino actually finishing right now.
ENSO dropped below the El Nino threshold in early May.
How will you choose to measure your global cooling?
Relative to this peak, as you guys tried to do after 1998 and 2016, or relative to decadal averages?
What method do you use to determine assess whether it is warming/cooling?
How long do you expect the cooling to last?
How low do you expect the UAH TLT anomalies to go?

Maybe you wait a bit before trump(et)ing with such claims you apparently are not so quite able to prove.
The cooling actually started in 2017, in Arctic, after the record of 2016. The global cooling will now slowly moove southwards for the next 30 years.

“The global cooling with now…”
Coolistas are like the cult that predicted the date that the aliens will take them to their planet, then kept having to move the date…ever hopeful.
The UAH LT climate response has followed the solar cycle influence on the ocean as expected, up and down. In May 2022 I had predicted that the 1.5C ‘limit’ would be exceeded by the sun’s ocean warming effect.
Temperatures that rose with the solar cycle #25 ascension in 2022/23 are now in 2024 following the slight TSI decline from the SC#25 peak.
https://i.postimg.cc/LX3DHrPM/TSIS-and-CFSR-Daily-Jul-2-2024.png
Until last month 2024 CERES TSI was leading 2023, but larger sunspot areas in recent months have driven TSI downspikes and a lower average.
https://i.postimg.cc/504vmjXZ/Ceres-TSI.png
As TSI could float above the decadal ocean warming threshold for a few more years, there could be another solar-driven El Nino spike by ~2027.

My 2022 LASP Sun-Climate Symposium poster.
Thanks. Here’s what I can read:
Am I missing anything?
Willard, below the text you quoted, in red, is the line of interest:
It is likely the SC #25 tropical step-up will result in exceeding the 1.5C.
This was referring to the <a href="https://i.postimg.cc/7hvjBJz5/Solar-Cycles-and-Tropical-Step-Changes.png"sun-induced tropical step-up" mentioned earlier in the poster.
Alright. So in 2022 you predicted that there would be one 1.5C excursion during the Solar cycle 25, a cycle that started in 2019-12 and will end ca 2030.
That’s quite conservative!
The correlation coefficient between UAH monthly anomalies and the SSN is NEGATIVE 0.25.
Antonin, the proper order of things is as follows:
UAH LT lags the ocean by 2 months.
The ocean warms decadally when SN ≥95 & CERES TSI ≥1361.25 W/m2.
The ocean warmed in 2022/23 as SC#25 TSI climbed above the threshold, as described in my 2023 LASP Sun-Climate Symposium Poster.
I just tried out every lag between 1 month and 132 months (11 years).
The correlation coefficient varied between -0.21 and -0.41.

Heads up … makers of posters are not presenters. The verity or otherwise of these posters is not endorsed by LASP, so using their name to justify his claims is deceitful. It is him and him alone. LASP supports the science of AGW.
“LASP supports the science of AGW.”
What “science” is that, Ant?
“Political Science”? “Astrology”? “Phrenology”?
It ain’t physics.

Bob Weber, your 2022 poster paper is interesting, but I think you missed a few points. Your use of Loehle 2007 apparently missed the fact that his paper was deeply flawed. He messed up so badly that he produced a correction in early 2008.
Also, using trailing running means produces a time series which is time shifted relative to the original data. Simple running means also tend to introduce aliasing and phase inversion into the data. Your 109 year SSN series ending in ~2019 actually represents the average at a date 54 years earlier than shown. The comment same applies to the 30 year average of the HadSTv3, whee the end point should be plotted ~15 years earlier. You appear to plot them ending at 2019, though you aren’t clear about that. Your Figure 8 also appears to be using a trailing running mean of Loehle’s 2007 results.
Given those problems, I lost interest in the rest of your paper.
And deeply flawed may be an understatement. It defies credulity to think a self proclaimed expert in the material didn’t understand that the academic convention is that “before present” is anchored to 1950. And if that defies credulity imagine how inept the Energy & Environment reviews had to be to not catch that mistake. It gets worse. It has now been almost 17 years and E&E still hasn’t retracted the publication. If this isn’t an example of predatory publishing then I don’t know what is.
The verity or otherwise of these posters is not endorsed by LASP, so using their name to justify his claims is deceitful. It is him and him alone. LASP supports the science of AGW.
My poster presentations were accepted by the same committee that selected the oral presenters, so it is not deceitful for me to link to my own work which the LASP symposium organizing committee also selected for presentation amongst the other poster presenters.
As well, my 2018 AGU poster was accepted for presentation even though the AGU supports AGW. It is also not deceitful to use that poster.
It just so happens actual scientists like me being there too.
E. Swanson
My figure 8 (from the 2023 poster) is of the 110 year-average Multi-Messenger Cosmogenic Sunspot Number reconstruction provided by Leif Svalgaard, not of the Loehle 2007 timeseries.
Dr. Svalgaard had plotted Loehle and Moberg et al together which I had used as my figure one to make a point.
Your concerns about the trailing averages are noted but it doesn’t matter in the end as the physical relationship using the S-B equation bears out the value of the correlation relationship perfectly.
That time period was for 1890 to 2010, not ~2019.
“Accepted” does not mean “agreed with”. Just don’t pretend it is any more than your own claims.
“”Accepted” does not mean “agreed with”. Just dont pretend it is any more than your own claims.”
But those who claim the existence of a mysterious GHE, and refuse to describe it, think “agreement” and “consensus” can turn fantasy into fact, is that it?
You wouldnt claim that something exists, but then refuse to describe it, would you?
Only a fool would do something like that.
Antonin, I haven’t pretended anything here. Your disposition is unhealthy for science; are you an authoritarian censor?
One of the responsibilities of a scientist is to communicate their findings to other scientists and to the public, which is what I do.
Are you suggesting no one can or should say anything about climate that hasn’t been approved of by the UN or ‘climate central’ first?
If the UN or climate central doesn’t agree then it gets snuffed, right?
It just so happens that LASP (and climate science in general, the AGU, etc.) does have people with diverse opinions and open minds who are not all in lockstep with the UN and ‘climate central’, and who are not so insecure as you seem to be about hearing others’ opinions like mine.
Your point about my work being ‘accepted’ is therefore unimportant, because you take advantage of the ambiguous use of that word. I said my poster was accepted for presentation, and you claimed I pretended it was accepted by ‘climate central’. That’s called gaslighting Antonin.
I guarantee there are people among the ‘climate central’ crowd that wish I was never there to challenge them. Would you be one of them?
Weber wrote:
Dr. Svalgaard’s web page lists some 18 presentations during 2019. I looked at the main ones and did not find such a plot. Your paper included no references, so, where did you get that plot?
Since I don’t follow the conversations on Climate Central, I must assume that the replies you receive there have been justified, given your poor performance with your poster.
Various ENSO forecasts:
“ENSO-neutral conditions are present. Equatorial sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are above average in the west-central Pacific Ocean, near average in the east-central Pacific Ocean, and below-average in the far eastern Pacific Ocean. La Niña is favored to develop during July-September (65% chance) and persist into the Northern Hemisphere winter 2024-25 (85% chance during November-January).”
https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/lanina/enso_evolution-status-fcsts-web.pdf
“[The] El Niño event, which had persisted since boreal spring 2023, is likely to have ended.
It is more likely that La Niña conditions will develop by boreal autumn (60%) than ENSO-neutral conditions will continue (40%).”
https://ds.data.jma.go.jp/tcc/tcc/products/elnino/outlook.html
“The chance of a La Niña developing in the coming season has increased. When these criteria have been met in the past, a La Niña event has developed around 50% of the time.
Climate models suggest that SSTs in the central tropical Pacific are likely to continue to cool for at least the next 2 months. Four of 7 models suggest SSTs are likely to remain at neutral ENSO levels, and the remaining 3 suggest the possibility of SSTs at La Niña levels (below −0.8 °C) from September.”

Its not difficult to see where this is going. Down, down, down. In a couple of years we will be having the same discussion that has been going on for decades. When is it going to start warming again. The only thing different is that the warm phase of the AMO is running out of steam. Tick tock, tick tock.
” The only thing different is that the warm phase of the AMO is running out of steam. ”
That is told since years and years by a poster nicknamed ‘Richard M’.
AMO is shown everywhere in his detrended variant, which lets it look a lot ‘cooler’ than temperature data.
Here is the AMO’s most recent data I can find.

Do you think the top is in?
Yes, for the next decade. After that who knows given the AMO and solar influence. We have to remember we are coming out of the LIA and hundreds of studies have identified long term impacts solar impacts. Throw in the CO2 effect and its a tossup.
Great. Thanks. I’ll bookmark this prediction.
Question…does your prediction consider the Earth energy imbalance and why it is positive right now?
bdgwx, the bogus Earth Energy Imbalance is an imaginary concept from the GHE false science.
Reasons the GHE is bogus:
Reason #3 — The bogus “EEI”
The bogus EEI, Earth Energy Imbalance, does NOT use units of energy. It uses units of flux. Flux is NOT energy. Whenever the cult mentions the bogus EEI, that means they don’t understand the basic physics.
Flux has units of “power per area” or “energy per time per area”. Power is not a conserved quantity, so certainly “power per area” is also not a conserved quantity. Flux “in” and flux “out do not need to balance, and often don’t balance. Example: A cone in space, with 5 times the area of its base, receiving 900 W/m² at its base will be emitting 180 W/m² at its final temperature. A flux of 900 W/m² does NOT equal 180 W/m². Flux “in” does NOT equal flux “out”.
To actually find Earth’s energy balance, energy in MUST be compared to energy out. “Energy” must be used, not flux.
But Earth’s energy seldom balances, as both incoming and outgoing energies constantly vary. That’s not a problem, as the laws of thermodynamics control temperatures. Weather is just one example of thermodynamics at work.
Hey Puffman, riddle me this –
How would total energy work with a system that continuously receives and emits energy?
“Energy” is conserved child, “flux” is NOT conserved.
Get a responsible adult to explain it to you.
Riddle me this, Puffman –
Step 1 – Pure Denial
Is this all you got?
After all these years, you should be able to grok that watts don’t stand alone.
Wrong again, child. Watts that “stand alone” results in “power”. “Power” is different from both “flux” and “energy”. Power is energy/time, and Flux is power/area.
Maybe someday when you grow up, you will understand.
Riddle me this, Puffman –
Where’s the Earth in your universe where watts “stand alone”?
Ask your mommie to show you her toaster, waffle iron, and other appliances, all rated in Watts, child.
Now, it’s your bedtime….
Hey Puffman, riddle me this –
How does it felt to have lost two of your silly talking points?
Silly sock puppet!

No problem: that’s ESRL AMO in Wood For Trees:

ESRL AMO Index
Source: NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory
Data URL: http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/data/timeseries/AMO/
and thus I can download the raw data in a click without having to search which AMO variant Paul Clark chose:

And… here is the comparison with Colorado State U’s data (ESRL data was scaled up by factor 4 to get it at Colorado’s niveau):

And… what do you see? Your choice (the red plot) shows even less ‘out of steam’, regardless which kind of mean you choose (simple running mean, cascade, polynomial…).
Unfortunately, the ESRL corner was based on Kaplan SST which was shutdown in January 2023. There is however a new variant based on ERSST5.

I can only say that AMO predictions showing a downturn as you expect are in between years old.
As these studies indicate we still have much to learn about multi decadal variability.

DG,
Markets always need more suckers:
https://kalshi.com/markets/gtemp/hottest-year-ever
What are you waiting for?
No betting for me, Will, but I’m thinking that 2024 will end up as the second hottest year. A very close second. Actually, it seems likely to me that 2024 could end up being the hottest year in the satellite record but #2 in the surface temperature datasets.
It doesn’t really matter. 2023 and 2024 will be so close that it will be a virtual tie. It will be two consecutive extremely hot years. The third hottest year will be a very distant third.
Not to criticise, but what is the obsession with the calendar year? That particular sample has no special privilege of which I am aware. The fact that the 13-month running mean just peaked at over 0.4C above any previous high is surely the point of note.
Of course, Elliott. I was just responding to the Kalshi link which was entitled “Is this the hottest year ever?”. When you’re tracking climate change you’ve got to look at it in increments of time, and it’s natural to think in terms of calendar years. But you are absolutely correct, the extraordinary heat of the past thirteen months is most noteworthy regardless of which year ends up as the hottest.
It’s really hard to do any kind of measurement without using some kind of conventions, Elliott. Sometimes one needs them just to distinguish versions of a piece of code.
The point isn’t that years are sacrosanct, but that everyone uses them.
Trump will fix the climate on day one
True. He’ll just stop us measuring it!
LOL!!!
Actually, Nate, Trump has his own secret measurements. He keeps them pretty close to the vest, but sometimes he gives us a hint about them. As he told us last Thursday, under his his leadership, “We had H2O, we had the best numbers ever!”
Who could argue with that?
Found them.
Oh Nate, there is joke that is a true story. Governor Jerry Brown of California was giving a speech. He defiantly stated that if Trump takes down the satellites, the state of California will put up their own. I saw it CNN so it must be true.
The obvious irony is that the climate change believers do not like the satellite record. Surface observation will do just fine thank you.
I actually saw Jerry Brown during a very small-time social function. It must have been 1975 or 76 We did not speak, in fact he did not talk to anyone but the official politicians. There were maybe 20 people in total. He arrived with very light security and little fanfare. He was in a plain looking economy car (Dodge Dart?). There was a uniformed CHP officer driving and another one on a motorcycle. That was it. He stayed about 10 minutes to shake hands and then left.
Fortunately there are other scientific organs outside the US which he can’t shut down.

” The obvious irony is that the climate change believers do not like the satellite record. ”

I fear you, like so many here, are confusing ‘satellite’ and ‘UAH’.
I can’t imagine that ‘climate change believers’ would ever disagree with RSS, as their temperature data often are higher than those measured at the surface.
That’s of course the reason why ‘climate change deniers’ reject RSS in favor of the ‘cooler’ series from UAH (and even NOAA STAR since its 180 degree turn).
Surprisingly, none of the ‘climate change deniers’ would ever disagree with RSS’ precipitation data.
Bindidon, you frame the question perfectly. There is UAH and RSS for satellite and a large number of other organization doing surface analysis. UAH and RSS use different methods to account for calibration drift and new satellites.
With so much interest in this, I would think that more organizations with ample resources would tackle this problem, and settle the question, but they do not. Why?
Would not be hard, all he has to do is make NOAA and GISS accountable for their climate fudging.
Nix Net Zero. Net Zero means a return to serfdom.
I read in the previous thread the usual coolista stuff:
” A tiny town located on Tasmanias Central Plateau just registered Australias first -10C of the year as southern Australia starts to feel the icy chill of a unusually strong mid-winter high pressure system. ”
Wooooooaah. Grrrand Coooling Ahhhead!
Some seem to simply forget that Tasmania’s Central Plateau is here and there at an altitude of about 1000 meters.
By the way, let us have a look at Tasmania’s lowest Tmins since beginning:
ASN00096033 ___LIAWENEE___________________ 2020 8 7 -14.2 (C)
ASN00095018 ___TARRALEAH_VILLAGE__________ 1983 6 30 -13.0
ASN00096003 ___BUTLERS_GORGE______________ 1983 6 30 -13.0
ASN00096021 ___SHANNON_HEC________________ 1983 6 30 -13.0
ASN00095001 ___BOTHWELL_(FRANKLIN_STREET)_ 1972 6 24 -12.5
ASN00096003 ___BUTLERS_GORGE______________ 1983 7 1 -12.5
ASN00093036 ___CAMPBELL_TOWN______________ 1972 6 24 -12.2
ASN00096033 ___LIAWENEE___________________ 2013 7 9 -12.2
ASN00093027 ___PALMERSTON_________________ 1972 6 24 -11.9
ASN00093014 ___OATLANDS_POST_OFFICE_______ 1972 6 24 -11.7
We see that such temperatures actually are not so unusual; especially because Liawenee is exactly on this famous Central Plateau, at 1057 meters.
*
However, we see also that all these temperatures below -10 C are recent. Not one night temperature below -10 C visible before 1972!
This means that Tasmania is over the long term certainly not warming at all:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DJWz-z83DfsgSx6U7J0bklTaRlBvZQTS/view
Tmin since 1900: -0.12 C / decade, Tmax: -0.09
And not even since the sat era in 1979: Tmin: 0.10, Tmax: 0.0.

No: it’s not warming everywhere, he he.
Is Australia in danger of warming.

Last year there was a massive hurricane that stayed mostly at sea. I saw a satellite image of a large area of cooler water in its path. Hurricanes cool the ocean and transport heat to the upper atmosphere. How significant is that effect?
And this shows its path:

Expect about the same number of tropical cyclones to form.
A higher proportion of them will become hurricanes so the number of hurricanes will be larger than normal.
They are more likely to exceed Category 3.
Expect more rain and more damage than in an average year.
This might be a good time to sell your insurance company shares.
This spike is most likely Tonga, as I see it. No other explanation FITS as well. Sulfate from boats too long ago, El Nino contribution is there, but timing doesn’t match nor does total energy (integral under this spike) match ocean response. Sun is a lower frequency. More like decadal is the highest frequency recorded in any proxy record. And solar forcing is not large in UAH data.
So TONGA based on:
1. Spike originated too Early to be El Nino based on long standing lag in UAH to Nino 3.4
2. To protracted to be El Nino based on long term average duration and relationship with end of El Nino in Pacific
3. Tonga sent up Unprecedented water vapor, it still exists today providing the mechanism for causing a spike.
4. Timing of spike matches Tonga eruption.
5. Water vapor is the main driver of greenhouse effect.
The HTE can still be seen in the Polar Vortex, although it is lessening. The atmospheric waves are no longer apparent, but the PV winds are still being slightly affected. Some have said the effects will last 2-3 years.
With the weakening HTE and the oncoming La Niña, we could see significant drops in UAH by the end of the year.
Clint July 2 2024: “The HTE can still be seen in the Polar Vortex”
Clint February 2 2024: “the Polar Vortex is operating normally again”
Thanks for quoting me correctly, barry.
That’s always a good way to learn….
It’s a good way to see that you make it up as you go along and thus contradict yourself.
There is no other scientific explanation. It has to be related to the millions of tons of water dumped into the stratosphere by Hunga Tonga.
The stratosphere is normally a very arid place, very little WV.
However, we must remember that the 0.8C is just an average. A slight skewing of temperature in one part of the planet could account for the average tipping upwards.
> There is no other scientific explanation.
Yes there is.

I have not been here frequently, so sorry if I am missing your previous logic. Can you clarify what is the other viable explanation? I am definitely open to testing other ideas.
Aaron
Another thought experiment, is the only other deviation between the Nino 3.4 and the UAH is Pinatubo. So it seems that it takes something at the scale of a decent sized volcano to create an anomaly to a well behaved system (system: UAH lags Nino 3.4 by 5 Months and total energy is highly correlated between data sets such that positive correlate with positive and vice versa).
AS,
When you’ll tell us about your scientific explanation and if it does not amount to “but volcanoes,” I’ll see what I can do.
Willard,
I basically cite this nature paper as the mechanism (
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-022-01568-2) . In Summary Tonga water vapor was an extraordinary event, spread as a GHG in atmosphere, still present today. Then apply to UAH data being an extraordinary response to NINO 3.4 data in pacific ocean and not just an E l Nino
My personal academic research was in paleoclimate reconstructions, so I am not an expert on atmospheric process. I just see climate shifts in many proxy records, and seek understanding in modern world what drives the high frequency changes. I published a paper on quasi periodic E l Nino patterns and am always curious what else might contribute.
AS,
Just caught your response. I answered to Mr. Asshat here:

Looks like we rely on the same paper! Since there’s no copy of it on the Sci-Hub, here’s where I could get a copy.
As I see it, the main factor for the secular trend ought to be humans dumping CO2 in the atmosphere like there’s no tomorrow, El Nino the most proximal factor for the monthly spike, and Honga Tonga as accentuating both by 0.04C overall.
Thanks for stopping by.

Are you serious?
Let’s compare UAH 6.0 land to the RATPAC-B land radiosondes which were inter-calibrated with UAH 5.x in 2008 at Vienna U, Austria, if I well remember.
1. UAH LT vs. RAT 500 hPa (5.5 km)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ayXrwM4S4KQfxQSrsHM7IInT4lhgnJed/view
2. UAH LS vs. RAT 100 hPa (16 km)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_juXJ0mfrFU6iO2Df-v5kXdGnr5q7eBz/view
*
The correlation between UAH LS and RATPAC at 500 hPa is less good since a few years than for the LT / 500 hPa pair; but when constructing a time series for the lower stratosphere out of no more than 85 balloons, you can’t expect the result becoming nearer to the average of no less than 9504 UAH grid cells than is shown in the 2. graph.
Should read
The correlation between UAH LS and RATPAC at 100 hPa …
What is the minimum value of UAH TLT that you would still consider instrument failure?
There is another possibility. The satellites are owned by NOAA and its not clear whether UAH gets the data straight from the satellites or via NOAA. If it comes via NOAA, they have the capability of running it through an algorithm before handing it over to UAH.
Cynical…but possible. I justify my cynicism based on my experience here in Vancouver Canada. This spring and early summer has been cooler than normal. Significantly cooler.

wee willy’s mind is far below that of a simpleton. Why should Roy be concerned about my thoughts? I am not accusing him or UAH of chicanery, I am accusing NOAA of possible chicanery.
After all, if NOAA is an intermediary between the sat data and UAH, based on their past chicanery, it would not be beyond them to mess with the data before handing it over.
By chicanery I am referring to NOAA’s announcement that 2014 was the hottest year ever. Upon closer scrutiny, it was revealed that NOAA was claiming only a possibility that 2014 was the hottest ever, based on a 48% likelihood. GISS outdid their chicanery by claiming a 38% likelihood.
I have every bit of confidence in the integrity of Roy and UAH integrity.

Once more we see Robertson’s dumb ignorance and utterly arrogant lying.
If he had a bit of a clue through informing himself, he would know that NOAA’s satellite data is also used by NOAA itself in its STAR department.
And if he had just a bit of technical education, skills and experience, he would be able to compare UAH’s and STAR’s LT data:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/10MWqbxzBp-JVIi0O8fs4KibpF4WmKSHp/view
Linear trend for period: Jan 1981 – Dec 2023, in C / decade
UAH 6.0 LT: 0.149 +- 0.007
NOAA STAR LT: 0.138 +- 0.007
But he wouldn’t even know from where to obtain the data, let alone be able to fairly compare the downloaded time series using the simplest features of a spreadsheet calculator.
*
All what Robertson is able to do is to distort, misrepresent, discredit, denigrate and lie.
Anyone who credulously believes Robertson’s trash 100% deserves it.
The last temperature range oscillated around about 0.25C. It will be interesting to see where the new oscillation will occur. I am going to guess about 0.5C.
More like 0.2C. Take a look at the period prior to 2016, it featured an 18 year flat trend. The 18 years before 1998 were below the baseline.
CO2 warming cannot be explained by an 18 year flat trend.
“CO2 warming cannot be explained by an 18 year flat trend.”
Why does an 18-year flat trend for the temperatures of the lower troposphere exclude CO2 as a cause of long-term warming?
(Never mind that the trend for this period is indeterminate – failing to disprove the null doesn’t prove the null)
Because CO2 lags temperature in both short and long, time scales. And, Berry has shown that most of the CO2 increase is due to natural emissions
This reply does not respond to the question asked.
I thought it did. Because CO2 doesn’t cause temperature trends. Temperature trends cause CO2.
The possible natural sources for CO2 show a net uptake over the period that the atmosphere is also accumulating CO2. There is no natural source that is losing CO2. Only the fossil fuels taken out of the ground and burned by humans.
Also, while there is a correlation between ENSO events and CO2 fluctuation, it is a factor smaller than the annual variation, and swamped by the long-term growth.
According to UAH there was 18 year ‘hiatus’ in temps between 1998 and 2016. But CO2 in the atmos climbed very steadily.
In fact, while the temps fluctuate year to year, CO2 has remained a a remarkably steady incline.
Regardless, the statement was that 18 years ‘flat’ global temperatures disprove CO2 warming. Your remarks completely ignore that ‘argument’. Gordon isn’t coming back to answer, so that’s that I guess.
That is a static, accountant’s view of CO2. CO2 flows through the atmosphere. It is dynamic. The rate of change of CO2 in the atmosphere is equal to inflows minus outflows. It is a first-order linear differential equation. Berry used this model to show that the IPCC’s carbon cycle model is wrong, that most of the CO2 in the atmosphere comes from natural emissions, Berry shows that the most that humans could have contributed to atmospheric CO2 is about 30ppm. Also, Happer has shown in his paper that if GHE is true that doubling of CO2 would only raise the temperature by about 0.6C.
This is an elementary non sequitur. The fact that temperature may drive CO2 normally is by no means good news, and by no means implies that “CO2 doesnt cause temperature trends”. In a system in which multiple factors are involved in mutual feedbacks it is perfectly possible that temperature may have driven CO2 in the past while CO2 still drives temperature today.
We have very few examples in the record of CO2 being dumped into the atmosphere in bulk – I can only think of the Chicxulub impact and the Deccan eruptions as potential cases, offhand. Study of these events and their outcomes is not uniformly reassuring.
Ah, the ole pulse argument. CO2 hasn’t been dumped into the atmosphere. Humans only account for approximately 4 percent of CO2 emissions. CO2 flows through the atmosphere. The eTime for CO2 is approximately 4-5 years according to ALL the atmospheric physics textbooks. So, virtually all, including human, CO2 molecules emitted into the atmosphere are gone within 20 years.
Same thing happened in the 1930s, what was the cause then?
Some have written those records off as pertaining to North America only which is as ridiculous as claiming the 400+ uear Little Ice Age occurred only in Europe. In the 1930s, there was little in the way of globality and many parts of the globe were not covered with thermometers as they are today.

You are absolutely right. Flux is rate of energy flow per unit of area.
For a constant area structure like the Earth, flux correalates exactly with energy flow.
Thus you can use flux as an indicator of energy flow in planetary energy budgets.
“Thus you can use flux as an indicator of energy flow in planetary energy budgets.”
What? Yet another proxy? Why not just use the energy flow as the energy flow?
All irrelevant anyway, isn’t it? The Earth is now cooler than it was four and a half billion years ago. That shows that four and a half billion years of sunlight did not contain enough energy to replace that lost by the planet.
Measurements dating back to Fourier and earlier show the Earth loses more energy than it gains – currently about 44 tW. That’s called cooling.
Do you think calling energy flow “flux” will cause the Earth to magically get hotter? Only joking, of course you do!
Carry on denying reality. Still no GHE.
Only a significant increase in the mass of the troposphere can cause an increase in pressure over the oceans and ocean surface temperature. Earth is a water planet and its global temperature depends on the temperature of the ocean. Currently, the ocean surface temperature does not exceed 31 C anywhere, and the excess heat, due to the constant average pressure, causes an increase in evaporation, convection and clouds.
Ren,
Steady pressure does not cause temperature to rise, in the atmosphere or otherwise.
For example, “Surface temperatures under the polar highs are one of the coldest on Earth, with no month having an average temperature above freezing.” – Wikipedia.
Even at extreme pressure, such as under 10 km of seawater, temperatures are only around 2 C, due to heat coming through the crust from below, not from pressure from above.
Earth is a mostly glowing hot rocky planet, with a very thin film of liquid water of 70% of its surface.
The planet is still cooling, which it will continue to do as long as the interior is hotter than the surface.
Thanks Mikey for proving to the likes of Gordon that the ideal gas law does not counter global warming.

You said temperature is not determined solely by air pressure, did you not? Ergo, you have proved what I claimed. Opinion does not enter into it.
You don’t have to do the whole job in one step.
Why not use solar flux to calculate the energy absorbed for each grid square, thus allowing for Sun angle and albedo variation between grid squares?
Then add up the energy absorbed by all the grid squares to get the total planetary energy absorbed.
“You said temperature is not determined solely by air pressure, did you not? Ergo, you have proved what I claimed. Opinion does not enter into it.”

Sorry Ent, but that won’t work. You’re trying to treat Earth as a homogenous object, with constant temperature and emissivity. The error margins become ridiculous. That’s why the bogus “EEI” is ridiculous, especially when the “imbalance” is reported to two decimal places, with NO mention of error margin.
That ain’t science. But, it tricks many, which is the purpose….
The satellite method of calculating energy imbalance is
Solar insolation – albedo – outward longwave radiation.
That gives approximately 1 W/m^2 or 0.1% of the energy absorbed.
You can confirm this independantly. Over 90% of the total energy absor*bed by the Earth each year is absor*bed by the oceans. Of the approximately 10^24 Joules absor*bed each year 10^21 Joules becomes extra ocean heat content.
Once again the imbalance is about 0.01%.
Always nice to have independent ways of checking such measures as EEI.
EM,
You wrote –
“The satellite method of calculating energy imbalance is
Solar insolation albedo outward longwave radiation.”
Which is completely meaningless. Only reality deniers would think such a laughable exercise would provide any useful information.
Go on, explain the relevance to four and a half billion years of planetary cooling, or the mythical GHE which you refuse to describe in any valid way.
The “energy balance” is completely nonsensical.
A weather station at Liawenee registered a minimum temperature of -12.9C shortly after 6am AEST on Wednesday. This was Tasmanias lowest July temperature on record, beating the previous record of -12.5C from Butlers Gorge on July 1, 1983. Launcestons low of -3.1C on Wednesday was also its coldest July morning in seven years.
Wednesday mornings bitterly cold temperatures are part of a string of icy mornings that are snap freezing Tasmania this week, under the influence of an abnormally strong high pressure system. This high is so strong that it may challenge Australias maximum mean sea level pressure record in the coming days.

“Thanks for the proof, Binny, that the planet is cooling.”
As far as I know of global cooling forecasts, there’s Valentina Zharkova’s grand solar minimum theory, but the current solar cycle has more sunspots than the previous one.
This blog has seen numerous claims of future cooling over the years, but none have proven correct. Nonetheless, I can respect forecasts that are, at least, supported by solid physical theories. What is yours, Gordon?
The Sun’s magnetic activity is weakening, and the number of spots does not correlate with the number of strong eruptions on the Sun. The average solar wind speed during this cycle is low, ranging from 350 to 500 km/s. It rarely exceeds 600 km/s. WSO Stanford observations confirm the weakening of the polar solar magnetic field.

You people claim that high neutron counts is the ultimate cause of cooling from reduced solar activity. Neutron counts are DOWN this cycle.

Palmowski, Robertson and other ‘specialist’s can tell us whatever they want.
Confusion remains over “energy”, “power”, and “flux”, so some simple analogies might help.
Let’s start with only “energy” and “power”. Energy has units of “Joules”, and Power has units of “Joules per time”, which is also “Watts”. Note that Energy is a “quantity”, while Power is a “rate” (quantity per time). “Energy” and “Power” are NOT the same.
Most people are familiar with a car traveling at a speed, say 50 mph. That speed is a “rate” — quantity per time. No one, but a child, would believe that 60 mph is the same as 60 miles. Yet confusing “quantity” with “rate” is a common mistake in GHE “science”.
Quantities are typically “conserved”. That just means that things must “add up”, or be accountable. For example, if you purchase 5 apples at the store, you expect to arrive home with 5 apples. If one is missing, then it was either dropped, or eaten. Apples just don’t magically disappear. Apples are “conserved”.
But, “rates” are NOT conserved. “Rates” do not add or subtract like quantities. For example, if you drive 50 miles, stop, then drive another 50 miles, you have driven 100 miles. But, if you drive at 50 mph, stop, then drive again at 50 mph, you have NOT driven at 100 mph!
In physics, it’s very important to pay attention to the units. Otherwise, you just end up with nonsense.
So are you claiming that if water enters a tank through a pipe at 20L/h, and more water enters the tank through another pipe at 30L/h, and there are no other sources or sinks, then water is not entering the tank at 50L/h?
Predicted response: “You do not understand”
That’s NOT what I’m saying, Ant.
In your example, 20 l/h for 1 hour, then later 30 l/h for another hour, would NOT equal 50 l/h.
If you want another example, use the solid cone in space. The total surface area is 5 times the base. The base absorbs 900 W/m². With emissivity equal to 1, and at steady state, the surface is emitting 180 W/m². The flux-in does NOT equal the flux-out.
Flux is NOT conserved. The EEI is bogus.
Riddle me this, Puffman –
Why did you not reduce your equation to a common basis, pun intended?
Silly sock puppet!
Cult Leader Grammie clone has a bone in his craw (as usual). He forgets that the EEI being discussed is presented as “watts per m^2” averaged for the Entire Earth. Thus, each of the components could be converted to Joules by multiplying by the total area of the Earth and an appropriate time period, such as a year. The results for each component would be Joules per year, which one finds used sometimes for ocean heat storage discussions.
The trouble is, such numbers would be quite large to deal with, so the convention is simply “watts per meter^2” since many of the real world measurements use that metric. Besides, the fractions of each component would still be the same, so why make it hard to understand by requiring the large numbers associated with Joules when w/m^2 gives the same result? Silly boy!
Sorry E. Swanson, but that won’t work.
You would have to match each flux with the specific area and emissivity. Otherwise, you’re just making crap up to support your cult beliefs.
Oh, wait….
Clot R
I already know it won’t help your thinking. But in your case of water flow, if you had a 20 l/hrs flow and another 30 l/hrs flow, the two flows add and it would be equivalent to 50 l/hrs. Sorry your logic is so terrible!
Norman, my example considered the two flow rates at different times. The rates would then NOT add.
You will need a responsible adult to explain it to you.

Hey Puffman, riddle me this –
What’s dimension analysis?
No, grammie clone, those numbers in Trenberth’s famous graph are global averages. There’s no way to dis-aggregate them without going back to the basic data and starting over. Said data already includes parameters such as the fractional area and emissivity so that they can be averaged effectively. Why would you think otherwise?
Clint R
Why do you separate the rates? With the Earth you have energy going in at a rate and leaving at a rate. If they equal the temperature does not change. If you alter either incoming or leaving rates your temperature will change. Really simple stuff. Your cone example is very poor when comparing to Earth since the receiving and emitting surface areas are the same.
All wrong, Swanson.
Trying to come up with an “energy budget” from satellite measurements is ludicrous. You obviously don’t understand ANY of the science. Your cult tries to come up with an average close to 240 W/m², because that comes from an imaginary sphere. But the imaginary sphere is at a temperature of 255K. Earth is at a temperature of 288K. Your cult claims Earth is emitting what a cold imaginary sphere emits!
But, it gets worse. Earth reflects a lot of solar. But the 240 W/m² is only infrared. Your cult omits the reflected energy, and calls the result an “energy budget”! Ludicrous.
It gets even worse, much more, but I’m busy for the next few hours…..
——-
[Norman, get a responsible adult to explain it to you. You’re all tangled up, as usual.]
Clint R
I think you need more than an adult to explain physics to you and what science is. You think your cult posts are science and then you think real science is a cult. No one can be as confused and mixed up as you seem to be. Somewhere your brain wires got crossed and you are no longer able to function as a rational person. I would like to help you but you just reject all evidence in favor of your cult opinions. It is sad but you are stuck wherever. Like Swenson and Gordon Robertson.
Clint R
Despite your opinion of E. Swanson, he would be the scientific one and you are the cult minded opinioned one who will never support anything. Do you understand that science is an evidence based study of nature? It is not your opinions and arrogant declarations based on how you feel about things (IR from a cold source will reflect off a hotter object and not get absorbed is one of your flawed opinions. It is based on zero evidence, no supporting observations, no experiments. You get this from blogs by crackpot geologists who really do not have much knowledge of the physics).
So go to this link. This is some of the data used to calculate a global average emission of IR and the average is around 240 W/m^2. You can deny the evidence all day long. I might be inclined to listen to your babbling if you would ever link to something that supports your cult opinions. To date you have not provided anything but your arrogant opinions. Much like Swenson and Gordon Robertson.

AQ refuses to describe the GHE in any valid manner, but instead diverts into bizarre pointless and irrelevant analogies.
The planet has cooled for four and a half billion years, and continues to do so.
Obviously, nothing at all prevented this cooling.
AQ finds himself totally snookered, hoist with his own petard, so to speak. As do all his ilk.
So Clint, is 20W of energy per hour over a square metre of earth from one source plus 30 Watts of energy per hour over the same square metre of earth from another source equal to 50W per hour over the same square metre of earth?
And if they are not the same square metre:
The first source supplies 20W of energy per hour over the first square metre and none over the second, for an average of 10W per square metre per hour.
The second source supplies no energy to the first square metre and 30W per hour to the second square metre, for an average of 15W per square metre per hour.
Are you claiming that the average over the 2 square metres is not 25W per square metre per hour? That is, are you claiming that it is not valid to add AVERAGE fluxes to get an average flux?
BTW … the higher order models DO account for varying flux over the earth’s surface. You are looking at the kiddy model, and still getting it wrong.
I wonder if E. Swanson was able to learn anything?
For some reason, I doubt it….
How can Puffman live in a house in which only one light is on?
Ant, your “problem” is very confusing.
For example, are you saying a surface is emitting or absorbing? “Over” is not very clear.
Maybe you could find someone that understands physics to help you phrase your question?
Otherwise, you sound like a cult id10t.

Ooooooh! Another stupid attempt at a gotcha!
Don’t look more idiotic than you have to.
Completely irrelevant, and pointless. You refuse to describe the GHE in any valid way, so trying to convince anybody that you are wise and knowledgeable is doomed to failure.
As to your witless gotcha, you may as well refuse to illustrate your intellectual brilliance by telling everyone how much energy is flowing through a random square meter of the Earth’s surface at any given time. Given that photons travel at the speed of light, and that there are about 413 CMB (Cosmic Microwave background) photons per cc, commensurate with a temperature of 2.73 K or so, how many photons commensurate with temperatures above and below 2.73 K also occupy each cc of space, and thus flow through a random square meter of the Earth’s surface?
You can refuse to answer, on any grounds you like. Obviously, fluxes do not “add” in any meaningful sense, unless the “fluxes” are composed of identical entities.
You don’t understand what I am talking about, do you? You refuse to accept that “climate scientists” are similarly clueless, and deny reality just like you.
Whenever you feel confident enough to reply Clint …
Puffman just wrote a comment admitting that your maths was correct.
He took the L!
If you walk at 2 kph from the back to the front of a train traveling at 60 kph, you will be traveling at 62 kph relative to the ground.
” ‘Rates’ do not add or subtract like quantities.”
Rubbish. Depending on context rates can indeed be summed.
A company owns a factory that produces 1000 cars a day. The company invests in a second factory that produces 1000 cars a day.
If we add these rates we get the correct answer for how many cars are produced per day by the company.
Sorry barry, but you’re making the same mistake as Ant.
A specific example can disprove a general concept, but a specific example can NOT prove a general concept.
It’s called “reality”.
The general concept you gave us was:
” ‘Rates’ do not add or subtract like quantities.”
That’s just been disproved with several examples.

You refuse to describe the GHE, but waffle on about anything else – trains, walking thereon, companies, factories, cars – and so on.
Others might not agree with your opinion of your cleverness. The Earth has cooled for four and a half billion years, and continues to do so, losing energy at a rate of 44tW or so.
Continue to deny reality if you like. Nature can’t be fooled, as Richard Feynman said.

Mikey is inserting HTML character #8204 (“zero width non joiner”) into his text. He is happy to lie about that because he doesn’t realise the codes can be seen if one knows where to look.
Power is energy per time. Flux as used in climate forcing is energy per time per unit area. In the context of the atmosphere fluxes do not add because flux is taken at a plane surface and the atmosphere is dynamic and three dimensional.
Other than that, the analogy of a moving car, train or whatever is not a flux, and to that extent the analogy does not work. The energy portion of the flux is variously disturbed as it move away the arbitrary reference plane so it really is not worth arguing about.
Carry on.

Hey England,
Have Fun At Work Tomorrow!
Get it? England doesn’t celebrate the Fourth of July. So they don’t get a day off. Plus they lost.
Let me guess: Went down on penalties?
I read above, without surprise:
” More like 0.2C. Take a look at the period prior to 2016, it featured an 18 year flat trend.
The 18 years before 1998 were below the baseline. ”
Ignoramus Robertson still does not (want to) understand that a baseline is an arbitrary construction depending of the reference period chosen to construct it.
Years ago already I explained to him that if, instead of accurately using WMO’s specifications for reference periods, Roy Spencer
– had kept till recently the old period ‘1979-1998’ to construct his baseline and the anomalies out of it,
and
– recently switched to a new period ‘1999-2018’,
the UAH chart would look different depending on the reference period used to display it because the baselines for 1979-2018 and 1999-2018 are themselves different.
He didn’t understand this because he never managed to actually read anything: instead, he just skimms through the texts to find something to smugly trumpet about.
*
But… this is so simple to understand!
Though UAH – for good reasons – does not publish absolute temperatures (even not at the 2.5 degree grid level), it is nevertheless possible to reconstruct them by combining the grid anomalies with the grid climatology (the 12-month grid baseline), and then performing a monthly, latitude weighted average of the grid.
*
Having the absolute data, it is then possible to compute any 12-month baseline out of it:
Baseline for 1979-1998 in K
Jan: 262.93
Feb: 263.00
Mar: 263.20
Apr: 263.64
May: 264.26
Jun: 264.93
Jul: 265.23
Aug: 265.05
Sep: 264.39
Oct: 263.70
Nov: 263.19
Dec: 263.00
Mean: 263.88
or
Baseline for 1999-2018 in K
Jan: 263.23
Feb: 263.30
Mar: 263.46
Apr: 263.88
May: 264.47
Jun: 265.09
Jul: 265.42
Aug: 265.24
Sep: 264.66
Oct: 263.98
Nov: 263.43
Dec: 263.22
Mean: 264.12
*
Now we can display the absolute data with the two baseline averages:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rE-LYwgMJyOI1bE5JJ2HHUX_NooIpLeo/view
and show the anomaly time series constructed out of absolute data and the two respective baselines, with a 13 month running mean:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nN316BRnvkmvBMl8jmMm0dpgUnvEizjR/view
*
And here is the point which Robertson (and maybe other, similarly opinionated posters) has always wrong.
Due to the lower average absolute temperature in 1979-1998, the (green) anomalies wrt the baseline are higher than those wrt 1999-2018 (purple).
As anyone can see now, writing ‘The 18 years before 1998 were below the baseline’ is simple nonsense when looking at anomalies wrt the older 1979-1998 baseline: 99% of the anomaly data since 1994 is… above it :–)
*
But Robertson never cares about any contradiction let alone correction.
He will continue to use his good old ‘pieces of paper’ instead, and feed us the same nonsense as always.

Solar flux cannot theoretically be averaged over some area, because solar flux what it does is to interact with matter.
When solar flux is averaged, the new interaction result is very different from the actual one.

“Pray tell more about your ‘Te = [(1-a) S /4σ ]1/4 (K) (1)’equation, Christos.”
–
The Te = [(1-a) S /4σ ]^1/4 (K) (1) equation, it is not mine.
The equation expresses the basic important insight that it is possible to theoretically calculate the planet average surface temperature Tmean from planet IR emission.
The Te is the first approach, which uses the Stefan-Boltzmann emission law, considering a planet as a warm sphere emitting the incident energy, as like that energy had been already storaged on the planet surface (which is not).
But it is all wrong approach, because S-B emission law is not an absor-p-tion law.
Also it is wrong because S-B emission law doesn’t describe the actual emission intensity the real matter does at its respective temperatures, which matter is consisted from atoms and molecules, the S-B emission law doesn’t work, that is why a correcting coefficient – the emissivity, was invented.

To those who propose alternate explanations for long-term warming aside from increasing greenhouse gas concentrations, how do you account for stratospheric cooling?
John W, if you want to support your cult, maybe you could give us a viable description of your cult’s GHE.
I won’t hold my breath….
John W,
“. . . how do you account for stratospheric cooling?”
Because the stratosphere is further away from the Earth’s core than the troposphere, and closer to the 3 K or so of outer space?
The thermal gradient goes from hot to cold. However, at low pressures, the concept of temperature gets a bit wobbly. For example, the thermosphere is nominally very “hot” – 2000 C or so, but you’d still freeze to death if shielded from the Sun.
There is no GHE. The Earth has cooled over the past four and a half billion years, and continues to do so.
Feel free to refuse to account for that reality.

“…how do you account for stratospheric cooling?”
This isn’t my area of expertise, but have you considered humidity as a GHG? As the sun warms the sea surface, it releases a little CO2 and a lot of moisture.
https://localartist.org/media/StratCooling.png
Robert Cutler,
The concentration of water vapor in the atmosphere is regulated by temperature. As the atmosphere warms, it holds more water vapor, creating a positive feedback loop that amplifies greenhouse gas warming.
John W. If I understand the theory it is that the presence of GHG’s limit upwelling radiation which then causes the stratosphere to cool. This idea is often used to “prove” AGW, which I think was your original point. My point is that temperature and humidity could rise due to solar activity, so a cooling stratosphere doesn’t prove a CO2/AGW connection.
Gordon’s point, which I tend to agree with, is that the sun plays a larger role in regulating the temperature of the stratosphere.
What a lot of people miss is that, because of the oceans and ice caps, the troposphere, from a global temperature perspective, has a very long time constant, I believe it to be at least 100 years. I can prove that it’s longer than 60 years. So when people say the planet is warming and point to decreasing solar activity as proof that it’s not the sun, they’ve make a serious mistake. My models show that we’re just now entering a cooling phase — current spike not withstanding.
The stratosphere is not moderated by oceans, and there’s very little thermal mass, so it reacts instantly to solar activity. That’s why, in my graphic, you can see the tops of the sunspot cycles in the stratosphere temperature. So the cooling is more likely to be related to decreasing solar activity.
The stratosphere is a very cold, dry place. The only warming there is due to a scarce amount of oxygen molecules being warmed by UV from the Sun. Calling that warming is like claiming the Arctic, at -60C, has warmed to -55C in places.
Same for cooling, how much colder can it get? Any cooling has to be related to a slight drop in UV intensity from the Sun.
Makes sense, Gordon.
You can see the effects of the sunspot cycle on stratosphere temps in the my last post. Unfortunately, consensus TSI composites don’t show much of a drop in the quiet sun TSI. Not that I trust consensus composites.
However, if you look at a my butterfly diagram of the sun’s longitudinally averaged magnetic field strength you can see that the field strength is fading, not just in the lower latitudes where sunspots live, but also in the poloidal regions. Solar activity is decreasing and there’s no reason to assume that UV would remain constant. The stratosphere would respond almost instantly.
https://github.com/bobf34/GlobalWarming/blob/main/images/Butterfly.png
The code to produce this diagram from synoptic data is on my website.
Good stuff, Robert. Not up on the sunspot activity, just some theories from Zharkova that seem sound.
What do you make of her theories?
I think Zharkova’s use of principal component analysis shows promise. That said, I think the two PC’s she developed were created using the same data that’s in my version of a butterfly diagram. It’s a very short dataset, so it might be a bit bold to extrapolate more than a few decades in either direction. Also, if memory serves, she’s trying to estimate values for 60 model parameters, so there’s a risk of over-fitting.
I’m also not convinced that everything about solar activity can be replicated in a harmonic model, so I wouldn’t expect her to be able to precisely predict every sunspot cycle. It’s the longer-term trends that are probably the most important thing to focus on.
Solar activity is declining, but we’ll have to wait and see if that develops into a grand minimum.
With the HT temperature spike seemingly on the wane, I do believe that we’re past the highest global temperatures that we’ll see for for a decade.
This prediction is not based on extrapolation, but on the earth’s delayed response to current solar activity. See my website, or:

Hello John,
Less ozone concentration means less uvb absorbed in the stratosphere, hence cooling and more uvb absorbed by the surface, hence warming.
John W,
From what I can tell, most of the stratospheric cooling was caused by the two major volcanic eruptions in the last 40 years.
Also keep in mind, the tropospheric warming by CO2 absorbing energy is countered by surface evaporative cooling leading to a reduction in high altitude water vapor. I haven’t looked at how that would affect the stratosphere. I suspect it would allow some warming to counter the natural cooling by CO2.
“Also keep in mind, the tropospheric warming by CO2 absorbing energy is countered by surface evaporative cooling”
Weird notion that warming of one body is countered by cooling a DiFFERENT body.
“leading to a reduction in high altitude water vapor.”
An another that suggests creating more water vapor leads to LESS water vapor.
I saw Andrew Dessler on CNN last night. He started out very reasonably with the fact that we should prepare for unavoidable effects. Then he went off the rails stating that climate is a political issue because “the” fossil fuel industry has bought “the” politicians. I assume he was referring to the politicians he does not like. I would like to see him accuse Bernie Sanders of being bought off.
The most interesting comment was that wealthy people will not like paying poor people for things like air conditioning to cope with a hot planet unless “we” do something to stop it. Is that some kind of threat? They never mention the rest of the world.
He is correct that climate is political. The real problem with that is people like him who are not honest about any of the hype that drives the climate discussion.
Dessler is just another klimate klown. His form of science is utter trash. You won’t ever see Roy, John Christy, or Richard Lindzen on the fake news channel, CNN.

aarons…”the only other deviation between the Nino 3.4 and the UAH is Pinatubo. So it seems that it takes something at the scale of a decent sized volcano to create an anomaly to a well behaved system…”
***
Good point, I knew about Pinatobu but I had not connected the obvious to Hunga Tonga. With the Pinatobu eruption in the 1990’s, it was volcanic aerosols that cooled the atmosphere significantly for several years. Hunga Tonga, by injecting millions of tons of water into the stratosphere, seems to have caused a warming rather than a cooling. The mechanism may still be unknown but there really is no better explanation for the warming. It is certainly not a trace gas, which failed to affect global temperatures for 18 years between 1998 and 2015.
Wee willy sputtered something about a volcano but failed to grasp your point just as he failed to offer an alternative answer to my claim that no other explanation for the current warming can be offered other than Hunga Tonga.
Wee willy is a true intellect among the denizens of the animal world, including tortoises and hares.
Mr. Asshat does not even realize that volcanoes usually have a negative effect, whereas this had a warming impact but remains a “bit player” (h/t Roy):

From my post…”With the Pinatobu eruption in the 1990s, it was volcanic aerosols that cooled the atmosphere significantly for several years”.
Is cooling not a negative effect on temperature?
My business here is to prevent alarmist ijits like you, who have no serious business here, from polluting the blog.
From Mr. Asshat’s post:
“I knew about Pinatobu but I had not connected the obvious to Hunga Tonga.”
It’s as if he does not know as much on the Little Ice Age as he pretends? Perhaps he should search for Mount Tambora’s eruption or why pirates disappeared.
It’s Pinatubo, BTW.
In any event, one of the largest eruptions of the past 300 years is a bit player in the scale we’re talking about:

Still, such events may not mean what our cranks want them to mean. For they introduce more variability than we actually are comfortable with. Anyone who has seen an unbalanced washing machine should know why.

Of course, you refuse to be helpful in any way – by explaining what the events “mean”, for example. Just like you refuse to describe the GHE in any valid way.

Anyways, it seems to me, SpaceX could start refueling in orbit efforts, within 2024.
But it also seems to me, Blue Origin could beat them to milestone of first refueling of any spacecraft in orbit, before SpaceX does.
Just like/similar Blue Origin claim of being first to recover a stage of rocket {a sub-orbital rocket} and I think Blue Origin could do this, because they want to do this, and refueling in orbit, is easier or quicker to do. And being the first to refuel in orbit, is good PR thing to “have”.
SOLAR MINIMUM UPDATE
This post has only touched on the ways that [Tropical Cyclones]s are getting more damaging. There are even more ways, such as changes in the tracks of TCs moving to higher latitudes, more frequent rapid intensification, or the slowdown of TC translation speed, all of which can also increase destructiveness.
When arguing against this, climate misinformers don’t necessarily propagate outright lies. Rather, their method of misinformation lies in the selective emphasis of certain facts that bolster their stance. For example, they will focus on statistics like the number of TCs (or, worse, landfalling hurricanes), emphasizing that we don’t see any trend while conveniently omitting that climate scientists don’t predict an increase.
And they fail to acknowledge the actual factors that are driving destructiveness, such as the increase of storm surge damage caused by sea level rise or the fundamental physics that tells us that TCs will produce more rain as the climate warms. This is classic cherry picking.
Instead of the selective offering of climate misinformers, you should look at all of the data. If you do that, it’s clear that hurricanes and other TCs are getting more destructive.

There is not a shred of scientific evidence connecting hurricane intensity to global warming. The stats show there were nearly as many Cat 5 hurricanes in the 1930’s as in the 2000’s. There may have been as many, or more, had there been satellites to detect them.
Rather than waving your arms in the air, how about scientific proof that modern hurricanes are stronger and caused by global warming?
“he stats show there were nearly as many Cat 5 hurricanes in the 1930s as in the 2000s.”
Data?
“There may have been as many, or more, had there been satellites to detect them.”
Best to look only at stats in the satellite era, since 1960s.
The heat and the draught were so bad in the 1930s that the resulting dust clouds traveled from the West and blacked out NY City as well as other eastern cities.

christos…”The Te is the first approach, which uses the Stefan-Boltzmann emission law, considering a planet as a warm sphere emitting the incident energy, as like that energy had been already storaged on the planet surface (which is not).
But it is all wrong approach, because S-B emission law is not an absor-p-tion law.
Also it is wrong because S-B emission law doesnt describe the actual emission intensity the real matter does at its respective temperatures, which matter is consisted from atoms and molecules, the S-B emission law doesnt work, that is why a correcting coefficient the emissivity, was invented”.
***
You are right about S-B. It is an emission law only. It also neglects any heat dissipation by conduction/convection.
The original Law was created by Stefan and it was a simple relationship between radiation intensity and the temperature of a surface, as in…
I = sigma. T^4.
Stefan had no interest other than the relationship between radiation and temperature, his point being that as temperature increased, the radiation intensity increased as T^4.
When I say intensity, I mean the same as in the standard relationship, E = hf. That is, as EM frequency increases the radiation intensity increases. Stefan knew that and had already predicted that an increase in surface temperature would produce an increased radiation intensity. Temperature and emission frequency/intensity are proportional.
However, E = hf led to the ultraviolet catastrophe, wherein as frequency increases, the radiation intensity would increase toward infinity. Planck solved that by presuming higher frequency energy was less likely and applied an exponential probability to the EM spectrum to get the current bell-shaped curve.
The original Stefan equation was based on the Tyndall experiment in which he heated a platinum filament wire electrically and noted the colours of the wire as the current was increased. Another scientist converted the colours to a colour temperature and that is what Stefan’s original equation is based on….the color of a heated body.
That excludes IR immediately. In fact, it excludes any temperature outside the range of Tyndall’s experiment which observed temperatures between about 500C and 1500C. Therefore the sigma in I = sigma.T^4 applies only to the range 500C to 1500C. Any other inference to temperatures outside that range is purely theoretical.
Then Boltzmann, a student of Stefan, became involved, resulting in S-B. Boltzmann’s work was purely theoretical, he devised a system of treating theoretical atoms/molecules as statistical entities. His goal was to prove the 2nd law and entropy statistically, and he failed. However, his statistical treatment of entropy is still used today even though it is wrong.
In the era of Stefan and Boltzmann, the atomic structure was unknown. Electrons were not discovered till 1898 and it was not till 1913 that Bohr formed a theory for the atom. Boltzmann’s work would have been unnecessary after the discovery of atoms and how they work. However, there are scientists today who insist on keeping the old theories alive, even though they have no real application today.
S-B is not used in modern IR meters. If it was reliable, it would be easy to program the equation into an IR meter but it obviously does not work. Instead, the frequency of IR, not the temperature, is detected by a semiconductor material and it is the effect the IR frequency has on a certain semiconductor material that determines the ‘calculated’ temperature of the target. The temperatures must be derived in a lab and stored in the device memory for reference to detected frequency.
If S-B applied, it would be easy to detect the incoming IR frequency and convert it to a colour temperature using S-B. It obviously does not work at terrestrial temperatures.
Thank you, Gordon.

“Also it is wrong because S-B emission law doesnt describe the actual emission intensity the real matter does at its respective temperatures, which matter is consisted from atoms and molecules, the S-B emission law doesnt work”
Yes it does work just fine when incorporating an emissivity factor.
And this is what is used, for example, to measure the sea surface temperature by satellite, which works very well!
And the emissivity of the ocean is very high.
“The sea surface emissivity in the infrared region is determined on the basis of data analyses. Net radiation, surface irradiance and other oceanographical and meteorological variables are measured throughout most of the year at the oceanographical observatory tower in Tanabe Bay, Japan. We have found that 0.9840.004 is a reliable emissivity value ”

We’re seeing the meltdown of the cult. It might have started when they realized they have NOTHING. They can’t come up with a viable description of the GHE.
That’s because the GHE is bogus. There are at least 10 reasons.
Reason #1 — The bogus “CO2 forcing equation”
The equation — F = 5.35 X ln(C/Co)
Where Co is the reference CO2 concentration is ppm, C is the current CO2 concentration in ppm, and F is the radiative forcing in W/m^2
The equation is bogus. It is an example of “curve fitting”, combined with a perversion of physics.
Baskin/Robbins is a chain of ice cream stores. The chain started about 1950, and now has about 8000 stores, worldwide. Let’s “curve fit” that growth and claim it is “heating the planet”.
F = ln(S/So) = ln(8000) = 8.99
Now, let’s simply add units of W/m^2,
F = 8.99 W/m^2
And that is now proof that ice cream stores are heating the planet!

Stefan Lanka…who discovered the first virus in the ocean.
Shula…who proved using a Pirani gauge that conduction/convection is 260 time more effective at dissipating heat from a surface than radiation. In other words, he proved the energy budget theory is wrong.
You’re a queer duck, Norman.
Gordon Robertson
Just because they had credentials at one time does not mean they are not crackpots. When a person makes claims way outside the accepted (which is based upon observation, evidence and experiments).
You still bring up Shula as a credible source. You keep bringing this clown up even though his point is very bad. I have explained to you countless times that the wire is made with low emissivity wire intentionally so that radiant energy is reduced to eliminate it as a source. You do not understand emissivity or anything about radiant energy. You have no real knowledge of any physics or Chemistry. You make up nonsense all the time and wonder why you are a crackpot. That is what crackpots do, just make up stuff.
HIV is a virus that destroys the immune system and causes death when the body can no longer fight infections that grow after the immune system is knocked out. Real scientists, ignoring Duesberg, have now come up with treatments that work and reduce the fatality considerably.

This is a lie. You never support your physics (if you want to call it that, more like made up opinion).
Where is your evidence to support your claim that IR from a cold object will not be absorbed by the surface of a hotter object? You come up with poor arguments about photons adding to make higher energy photons
I find your “physics” all wrong. Just things you read from crackpot blogs that sound right to you but are not supported by any evidence.
Norman, you need to link to my exact words. I can’t respond to what you believe I said. Also, I won’t respond to your comments that contain insults and/or false accusations.
Get a responsible adult to help you, and try again.
I think it is correct that earth is currently at the apogee. My date and time application says earth is 95.51 miles from the sun. It will 91.4 million miles on January 3.
Another mistake. Try 94.51 miles.
Well, I guess that explains the temperature spike 🙂
Robert,
Subtle, very subtle.
“Apogee” applies to Earth/Moon. For Sun/Earth, the term is “Aphelion”.
And thanks for the reminder, Tim S. This is an important factoid for the “global warming” nonsense.
Earth’s elliptical orbit means there is considerable difference in distance to Sun between Aphelion (far) and Perihelion (close). The difference in solar flux is about 90 W/m².
Now, stop to think about this for a minute. Earth’s orbit causes an annual variance of 90 W/m², yet we never see a corresponding change in temperature. Yet the cult wants us to be panicked over an imaginary 1 W/m².
Just some more science to tweak the cult children….
And, of course, things are sometimes counter-intuitive –
“The northern hemisphere receives significantly less energy from the sun when the Earth is closest to the sun!
When the earth is closest to the sun, the northern hemisphere receives approximately 9% less energy from the sun than when it is farthest from the sun. Gotta love that axial tilt!” – according to a PhD geophysicist. Seems fair to me.
Opposite to the southern hemisphere.
The Earth still continues to cool, albeit very, very, slowly.
No GHE. Not even a teensy, weensy, one.
I think you are correct. I knew it was a word I am not familiar with and I looked at the wrong reference.

Of course. Radiation emanates from a thin layer of surface atoms/molecules. Radiation can tell you that the Earth’s surface averages 15C but it can’t tell you the Earth has a core that is 5000C. It can’t tell you the temperature a few feet below the surface which is in excess of 15C and getting progressively hotter the deeper you go.
Winter temperatures in Australia will not rise because the Earth is farthest from the Sun in orbit in July. The difference between January and July is about 5 million kilometers.

Good point, Ren.
And we need to remember that as long as the Earth’s axis is tilted as it is, no amount of CO2 will prevent the Arctic freezing over in January and the Antarctic freezing over in July. In fact, the South Pole never gets above 0C, even in summer.
Some have brayed about warming in the Antarctic Peninsula, which reaches the latitude of South America. Big deal, the Antarctic continent is so cold that glaciers cannot possibly melt.
Also, since the Arctic has no solar input in winter, and temps reach down to -60C, the flow of that cold air to more temperate regions far to the south will continue to freeze that area in winter.
Weather sure is fun. Easily overrides any pithy (0.06C) warming from CO2.
Anthropogenic theory kaput!!!
Willard,
“The question is why youd use “Te = [(1-a) S /4σ ]1/4 (K)” when it obviously uses solar flux and you said that this was not possible.”
–
The non-linearity of the S-B radiation law, when coupled with a strong latitudinal variation of the INTERACTED solar flux across the surface of a sphere, and with the planet rotational spin, and with the average surface specific heat, creates a mathematical condition for a correct calculation of the true global surface temperature from a spatially integrated infrared emission.
Jemit = 4πr^2*σΤmean⁴ /(β*N*cp)∕ ⁴ (W)
Where:
Jemit (W) – is the INFRARED emission flux from the entire planet (the TOTAL)
r – is the planet radius
σ = 5,67*10⁻⁸ W/m^2K⁴, the Stefan-Boltzmann constant
β = 150 days*gr*oC/rotation*cal – is the Solar Irradiated Planet INTERACTING-Emitting Universal Law constant ( the Rotational Warming Factor constant ).
N – rotation /per day, is planets rotational spin with reference to the sun in earthen days. Earth’s day equals 24 hours= 1 earthen day.
cp – cal/gr*oC- is the planet average surface specific heat
Planet Energy Budget
When planet surface is in radiative equilibrium, planet energy balance should be met: Energy In = Energy Out
Jnot.reflected = Jemit
πr^2*Φ(1-a)S (W) – is on the entire planet surface the not reflected portion (the TOTAL not reflected) of the incident on planet surface solar flux
Φ – is the planet surface solar irradiation accepting factor (the planet surface spherical shape and the planet surface roughness coefficient).
a – is the planet average surface Albedo (Bond)
S – W/m^2 – the solar flux at the planet’s average distance from the sun.
πr^2*Φ(1-a)S = 4πr^2*σTmean⁴ /(β*N*cp)∕ ⁴ (W)
Solving for Tmean we obtain the PLANET MEAN SURFACE TEMPERATURE EQUATION:
Tmean.planet = [ Φ (1-a) S (β*N*cp)∕ ⁴ /4σ ]∕ ⁴ (K) (3)
–
The Tmean.planet equation uses solar flux, because the stronger the solar energy upon the planet surface – the higher the planet average surface temperature (and it is an obvious observation).
The difference with equation (1) is that the solar flux is not averaged over the entire planet surface. Thus the (Tmean) is not the planet surface uniform temperature as the (Te) is, but the average surface temperature.
The equation (1) provides the instrument for transforming flux into temperature T = (S /σ)^1/4
It is valid on the uniform temperature surfaces.
Also it is valid for the infinitesimal small points at infinitesimal small instants of time (so we accept each point has its respective uniform temperature).

All is best – except your Φ which is nonsense; this has been proven to you many times.
But like Robertson, Clint R and a few other stubborn boys, you never admit being wrong.
Κανένα πρόβλημα για μένα όμως!
Bindi, what makes you believe I can’t admit being wrong?
I once thought you might have some interest in science, but I admit I was wrong. I also make typos, from time to time.
See? I can admit being wrong, when I’m wrong.
But you can’t come up with a viable model of “orbiting without spin”. You’re wrong about Moon, but you won’t admit it.
> The Tmean.planet equation uses solar flux
Your equation uses multiplication, Christos. To multiply is to add many times. So in your equation fluxes add.
This is a fairly basic point.
Best of luck trying to defeat your own algebra.
Willard, I am not so capable in idiomatic English.
“Your equation uses multiplication, Christos. To multiply is to add many times. So in your equation fluxes add.”
What do you mean by that?
Because the equation (3) theoretically calculates the planets’ and moons’ average surface temperatures very much close to those measured by satellites.
Doesn’t that mean the equation is a good equation?

https://www.cristos-vournas.com
Thank you for your question, Christos.
What I mean is that 2 x 3 means 2 + 2 + 2.
To multiply is to add faster.
An algebraic structure that is multiplicative is also additive.
It is really hard to write equations with entities that cannot add.
Willard,
“An algebraic structure that is multiplicative is also additive.”

Christos,
Thank you for your rhetorical question.
You actually did. Here:
> Solar flux cannot theoretically be averaged over some area
To average is to add a number of elements together, and then to divide that sum by the number of elements.
Your equation obviously does that.
In fact, the solar constant is itself an average.
Willard,
“To average is to add a number of elements together, and then to divide that sum by the number of elements.
Your equation obviously does that.

Also the average surface temperature adds surface temperatures together and then divides that sum by the number of elements.
–
“You actually did. Here:
> Solar flux cannot theoretically be averaged over some area”
–
Yes, because solar flux interacts with matter, it vanishes then.
Also we cannot average snow over the entire Global area, because snow belongs where it has fallen on.

https://www.cristos-vournas.com
Christos,
Here is one of your claim:
(C1) Yes, because solar flux interacts with matter, it vanishes then.
Here is another:
(C2) Solar flux cannot theoretically be averaged over some area, because solar flux what it does is to interact with matter.
I’m not sure how you can reconcile the two. Nor do I know what you mean by a “new interaction.” And of course one can add snow over an area. How do you think we estimate snow cover?
Snow also vanishes at spring, but you cannot average the amounts of snow over the entire planet surface.
Of course the math would be correct, but in reality there is not snow at most of the planet surface areas.
Christos,
Of course we can do all the things you deny:
https://education.seattlepi.com/percent-earth-permanently-covered-snow-ice-4666.html
We can indeed say that for every meter square of the Earth surface, between 12-33% is covered with snow.

Happy July 4th! Let’s keep the fun going —
More reasons why the GHE is bogus:
Reason #2 — The bogus “33K”
The “33K” nonsense comes from the mythical, imaginary blackbody sphere. The mythical sphere is receiving the same average solar energy as real Earth, after albedo, of 960 W/m². We are not told if the mythical imaginary sphere is hollow or solid, or if it is spinning like Earth or always has the same side facing Sun. It’s all a mystery.
But in a steady-state condition the mythical sphere is believed to be emitting 240 W/m^2. So, using the S/B Law, the emission temperature can be calculated:
S = σT^4
T^4 = S/σ
T = [240*(10^8/5.67)]^0.25
T = 255K
Then, the mythical 255K is compared to Earth’s average temperature of 288K. The difference, 33K, as believed by the cult, is due to the GHE.
(You may sometimes see the difference as 33K, or 33°C, since Kelvins are the same as degrees Celsius. In Fahrenheit, the difference would be 59.4°F.)
The claim is then that Earth is 33K hotter than it’s “supposed to be”. Their math is correct, but their calculation is NOT linked to reality. Earth is NOT a mythical imaginary blackbody sphere. A large bullfrog can weigh 0.5 pounds. If you multiply 0.5 by a large enough number, say 2X10^25, that would make the bullfrog about the size of planet Earth. The math is correct, but the calculation is NOT linked to reality.
Earth is “supposed to be” the temperature it is, 288K. Comparing it to a mythical imaginary object ain’t science.

Yes!
I can prove that I am psychically linked to Ren’s mind. Every time Ren points to temperatures without saying what they are, I will guess if they are hot or cold.
I believe I will be able to read Ren’s mind correctly each and every time.

We can’t trust a cult child with your low credibility.
Let’s see you predict Ren’s next comment, before it appears, if you can actually read his mind.
Can’t do that, huh?
Grow up and get a life, child.

Ok, I have foreseen that the next time Ren links to temperatures without saying what they are, they will be…. cold.
And the next time he mentions the quality of or the actual temperature, they will be…. cold.
I have seen it. Mark my words.
Regarding terrestrial temps, of course.
That’s lame, barry. That’s like predicting a science teacher will teach science.
You need to provide date/time/location for Ren’s next comment, since you can read his mind.
No more weaseling….
Clint,
Barry is like one of those idiots who says they can “predict” that the Sun will rise tomorrow. They assume the future will be the same as the past. No more intellect than a 6 year old.
Even the cultists forming the IPCC stopped “predicting”. Now it’s “scenarios” – so they can’t be held accountable for being delusional.
“That’s like predicting a science teacher will teach science.”
And that was the point. Ren will only ever mention cold weather around the world. It took you a while but you finally worked it out.
Well, if you now admit you can’t really read his mind, then I accept that.
It took you a while but you finally worked it out.
Successful predictions by climate science: https://youtu.be/QFEUezxK5Do
1/ Fossil fuel-burning will cause an increase in the atmospheric carbon dioxide and that will cause a significant warming of the planet.
2/ The microwave emission of Venus could only be accounted for by a hot surface maintained by the greenhouse effect of a very thick atmosphere, and using the standard model predicted that Venus has a 50 bar surface pressure.
3/ Predicted atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations based on economic projections of how much co2 we would emit.
4/ Predicted that tropospheric warming would be accompanied by stratospheric cooling.
5/ Predicted Arctic amplification of warming.
Successful predictions by deniers:
1/
2/
3/
4/
5/
Did I get them all?
Ark, you can’t provide the physics to support 1 and 2. That’s why they are beliefs, not science.
3, 4, and 5 are somewhere between obvious and nebulous.
Let’s see the physics for 1 and 2. Otherwise you’ve got NOTHING.
The deniers 3, 4 and 5 predictions are indeed obvious and nebulous.
But we only have 1-5 of the deniers predictions. Perhaps there are major predictions that they instead got right. Do let us know.
I predict that the cult will:
1) Continue to deny reality.
2) Continue attempting to pervert science.
3) Continue to hate anyone not in their cult.
4) Continue trying to discredit/censor/criticize anyone offering correct science.
5) Continue to close their eyes to perversions of reality promoted by some in their cult.
Enough predictions for you barry?
Zero correct predictions to do with global climate change is typical of ‘deniers’. You’re maintaining the tradition in your own drab way.
Well you hit 1 and 4, barry.
Down thread (where you channelled Greta) you hit all 5!
You’re such a good cultist.
Now, as a rough cross-check, we enter the Venus altitude-versus-atmospheric pressure graph at 1000 millibars (the Earth’s average sea level atmospheric pressure) and go up to intersect the altitude-pressure profile line, and across to the left axis where we find the corresponding altitude of 49.5 kilometers (31 miles). This altitude is only three kilometers (or six percent) different than we found from the temperature graph.
So, in spite of the surface temperature of Venus being on the order of 864 degrees Fahrenheit, there is a region in the Venusian atmosphere which approximates that of Earth with respect to temperature and pressure.
https://web.archive.org/web/20080205025041/http://www.datasync.com/~rsf1/vel/1918vpt.htm
You can clearly see in the diagram of Venus atmosphere the troposphere, where a vertical temperature gradient acts. The graph also shows that the Earth’s troposphere is very thin compared to Venus.
But you wouldn’t want to live there.
IIRC the 1 bar pressure level is at 60C and in the middle of a sulphur acid cloud.
You have no evidence to support your claims.

For stratosphere cooling, read the discussion above.
https://www.drroyspencer.com/2024/07/uah-global-temperature-update-for-june-2024-0-80-deg-c/#comment-1677344
“Fossil fuel-burning will cause an increase in the atmospheric carbon dioxide and that will cause a significant warming of the planet.”
The problem with this statement lies in causality. [CO2] lags temperature. This is known, but I’ve approached the analysis in a more robust way that allows causality to be separated by frequency (1/period), which allows separation of different processes.
In these plots I’ve computed the frequency response function between CO2 and temperature after removing the slope in each. In the frequency domain, delay is the negative of dPhase/dFreq. If CO2 drove temperature, then the phase would be above zero degrees. Instead it’s below, and generally falls with a slope corresponding to [CO2] lagging temperature by six months. The delay is less than two months (.13 yr) for seasonal variations (1 yr^-1), and at a frequency of 0.75 yr^-1.
The magnitude response (top left graph) is a measure of sensitivity. For periods of 10 years, the sensitivity (in paren’s) is 4.9 ppm/degC. Sensitivity falls off with frequency, much as would be expected of an integrator, or low-pass filter.
https://localartist.org/media/CO2_Temp_FRF_1st_detrend.png
The frequency-domain approach has its limits on this kind of data, so to look over longer periods I’ve de-trended the data and plotted the residuals. In this next plot, I performed a first-order detrend of temperature and ln([CO2]). Note that the ln([CO2]) does not fit a straight line that well.
https://localartist.org/media/longtrends_ln_global.png
In this last plot I’ve performed a second-order detrend on the [CO2] and Southern Hemisphere temp, just for something different.
The 2nd-order polynomial is a much better fit to the [CO2] data than a ln(), and which also suggests integration of temperature driven [CO2].
If you look at the residuals, there’s no evidence of [CO2] leading temperature, even for periods longer than 10 years.
https://localartist.org/media/longtrends_SH.png
In short, I couldn’t find any evidence that [CO2] affected temperature, and lots of evidence that temperature drove [CO2], on all time scales using 60 years worth of measured data.
And that is supported by physics and chemistry.
You asked for predictions. This is for those that deny that the sun is the primary driver of climate change.
Check out my github site for predictions (not projections), or look at the Excel version. You won’t find anything this accurate coming out of IPCC.
https://localartist.org/media/SunspotPredictionExcel.xlsx
The models (all flavors), predict global temperature from sunspot data. They do this by simultaneously extracting solar activity from the sunspot data and modeling the earth’s integral-like response.
The accuracy before 1900 is poor primarily because of poor sunspot data accuracy prior to 1800.
I have a second method for estimating solar activity that’s not as accurate, or detailed, as it uses less information from the proxies. Here I’ve replaced some of the troublesome sunspot data with Usoskin’s 14C solar activity reconstruction. The 14C data comes from carbon dating tree rings. I’ve plotted this next to measured temperature data and Loehle’s 2008 corrected temperature reconstruction, which does not include tree-ring proxies.
As with my accurate models, you can see many features in the data including the pause prior to 1975. This result also shows that the Little Ice Age and the Medieval Warm Period were global events. It also shows that temperatures will soon begin to fall.
https://localartist.org/media/SolarAndTempProxies.png
> [CO2] lags temperature. This is known.
The “CO2 lags temperature” meme is known:
https://climateball.net/but-abc/#lag
Contrarians should drop false memes.
My analysis is not a meme, and it uses the same measured data (no proxies), that is being used to push anthropogenic warming theories. There’s not even a model involved, just basic signal analysis over the time period of the greatest anthropogenic emissions.
What can I say, the measured data doesn’t lie.
“CO2 lags temperature” is indeed a meme, Robert, and your frequency response graph is “needles in the eyes,” as Bender would have said.
Do you really believe we have good measurement of sunspots in 1150?
Do you really believe we have good “measurements” of CO2 and temperature over the last 1000 years or longer? That’s what you were pushing with your meme.
First of all, to answer your question, we have no sunspot observations before about 1750. What we do have is the next best thing, a 14C proxy used to reconstruct sunspots, which are a proxy for solar activity. As I’m sure you know, carbon 14 is an isotope generated when galactic cosmic rays collide with earth’s atmosphere. The generation rate is modulated by the sun’s magnetic fields.
I’m somewhat skeptical of the amplitude accuracy of Usokin’s solar activity reconstruction. However, with my second method I’m not relying on amplitude, only the frequency of the 11-year Schwabe cycle. If you read Usoskin’s paper, also the Brehm et al. paper he references, you’ll find that they took great pains to establish time alignment between the 13 or so trees used in the analysis. They appear to have done a great job.
If you don’t understand the frequency response plot, just say so, this type of analysis is not well known in the climate-science community.
> Do you really believe we have good “measurements” of CO2 and temperature over the last 1000 years or longer?
“But Data” is indeed another meme, Robert:
https://climateball.net/but-data/#measurement
This Bingo square may not be compatible with “But Lag,” however. More so that causality is harder to establish in feedback systems.

Bindidon, based on the amount of flack I received from you I feel like I must be over a target. It doesn’t help that a lot of 4th of July fireworks are going off in the background.
You wrote: “The problem is the wrong, one-sided interpretation of the measured data.”
Can you be more specific? It’s hard to respond to non-specific rants.
As for my models and predictions, I have no idea what your objections are. Were they not as accurate as I described? Do you feel threatened by them? I don’t know you well enough to know if you’re part of the AWG crowd, but if you are, I can understand why you’d be upset.
If you’re willing to keep the discussion civilized, I’m happy to engage. Otherwise, good luck with whatever it is you do.
Typo AWG instead of AGW. AWG is a TLA from a previous life.
Mr Cutler
The lack of an answer to my central question above is also a good answer.
Feel free to push up with your stuff, you will have enough success here to stay for a while.
I’m not interested in any discussion with you, especially re. research about solar matter.
But technically 100% incompetent deniers a la Robertson, Clint R, Flynnson aka Swenson etc will love you.
Imagine! They all deny historical science like the lunar spin, Robertson even denies the existence of time, let alone time dilation!
And Earth cools since 4.5 billion years…
Sorry Bindidon, I don’t even know what your central question is. If it’s what have I published?, then you have an unfortunately narrow information filter.
In non-academic environments we have this thing called trade secrets. We don’t even patent most of our work because that would just tell our competition how to replicate our inventions.
Good luck.
Have you ever tried to publish your stuff, Robert. Considering your obfuscation, the answer must be no. So we should expect something about censorship, gatekeeping, and Galileo.
Did it every occur to you, Willard, that I might be socializing my discoveries before publishing in an attempt to gain additional insights and understand technical objections?
I’ve about decided that, on this forum, the bulk of the regulars only want to play word games and argue about HTML tags. Others who might have something useful to discuss likely won’t post, if they’re even still reading the blog, because they don’t want to be abused, and because there’s just to much useless dribble to wade through. While I had started ignoring your self-serving posts, I cannot ignore the damping effect that you and some of the others have on more productive conversations.
I’m likely going to stop monitoring this forum, so if anyone has questions or comments about my temperature prediction results, it would be best if you state them now.
Did it occur to you that it’s hard to seek technical objections while trying to protect one’s work as if it had some intellectual property behind it, Robert? Even that doesn’t cohere with having a public repository. So it’s basically a poor man’s excuse.
Put your stuff on ArXiV. See what happens.

Solar flux cannot theoretically be averaged over some area, because solar flux what it does is to interact with matter.
When solar flux is averaged, the averaged flux is four (4) times weaker, therefore there would be a new interaction result, which would be very different from the actual one.
The solar flux /Earth’s surface interaction result comes up with Tmean = 288K.
The averaged solar flux’s the new interaction result comes up with Te = 255K.

Robert Cutler,
Because the oceans are net CO2 sinks, and the only significant net sources are of anthropogenic origin, what is the mechanism by which “[CO2] lags temperature?”
If the oceans were net sources you wouldn’t see decreasing ocean pH, no?
The oceans are big. Therefore filled with more life than land, and CO2 is plant food.
Arkady, thanks for the question. The analysis has nothing to to say about net sources and sinks. Anthropogenic CO2 can independently contribute to both atmospheric concentrations and ocean acidification. All the results indicate is that changes in temperature will cause CO2 to add or subtract from those contributions.
Robert Cutler,
We know that natural sources contribute a net -1.7 Gt per year, and anthropogenic sources a net +46.5 Gt per year.
If, as you say “[CO2] lags temperature,” it’s merely a coincidence then.
I trust you’ve read Dr. Spencer’s posts on sources and sinks: https://www.drroyspencer.com/2024/04/unnecessary-net-zero-part-ii-a-demonstration-with-global-carbon-project-data/
Arkady: “We know that natural sources contribute a net -1.7 Gt per year, and anthropogenic sources a net +46.5 Gt per year.”
I’m not sure I’m following your logic. You haven’t said anything about temperature, so you haven’t said anything about causality. CO2 sources and sinks are irrelevant, the question is what is the temporal relationship between atmospheric CO2 concentrations and temperature, particularly over longer time intervals? Nobody questions that CO2 follows ENSO. Blue lags red.
New plot with with updated temp/co2 data and slightly different detrend parameters.

I made this for easier comparison with the linearly detrended ln([CO2]) version
https://localartist.org/media/longtrends_ln_global.png
“ You haven’t said anything about temperature, so you haven’t said anything about causality.”
Did you already forget your objection to my post?
Here, again, is what I said: Fossil fuel-burning will cause an increase in the atmospheric carbon dioxide and that will cause a significant warming of the planet.
What more do you want me to say?
“I’m not sure I’m following your logic.”
The logic is that the only material sources of CO2 are anthropogenic. CO2 from natural sources is balanced by the natural sinks.
You believe that CO2 is responsible for warming. I do not. Check out the first plot. CO2 contribution is only 0.06 degree, and I think that’s generous. It’s probably just compensating for UHI bias in the temperature data.
https://github.com/bobf34/GlobalWarming/blob/main/hybridmodel.md
The first plot shows a joint estimation of a CO2 temperature model, and a sunspot-based temperature model, the second and third plots on the page.
It has nothing to do with beliefs.
It is simply the intersection of Molecular Spectroscopy and Climate Science, which you choose to pretend does not exist.
“If the oceans were net sources you wouldnt see decreasing ocean pH, no?”

Happy 4th everybody!
After scanning through many of the comments here, I can tell there is still a great deal of conflict over AGW. And this conflict sure does get emotional. As a BS Meteorology with 40 years weather forecasting experience, I am asking for a quick science lesson from the higher educated.
For 30 years, I never was interested in climate. My attitude was basically tomorrow’s weather was hard enough, why would I concern myself with trying to predict weather years into the future? I just assumed it was impossible. But when I was assigned to forecast weather off the Alaskan Slope from 2007 to 2015, my interest in climate started to pick up. After hearing predictions by so-called experts that the Arctic would experience an ice free summer within a decade, I knew something was amiss. I just knew there was no friggin way that would happen in such a short amount of time.
From my limited knowledge of climate, I understand that the earth has gone through extensive periods of time without polar ice caps. Am I correct? I believe the Eocene, about 34-60 million years ago was such a period. During this warm-earth period, I don’t believe life on earth was severely harmed by it. As a matter of fact, I think life flourished.
Here is my question. Since life on earth did just fine without polar ice caps, why is there so much hysteria about our current warming trend and the very slight ice melt that is going on now?
There’s nothing wrong with your question, Rob. In fact, it’s a really good question. It hits at the very core of the cult’s unfounded fears.
Supporting what you’ve heard about the climate history of the poles, evidence of crocodiles has been found in the Arctic:
https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg19826611-200-when-crocodiles-roamed-the-arctic/
Rob,
“I am asking for a quick science lesson from the higher educated.”
Good luck. If that sounds cynical, so be it.
Rob, There are a few people who post around here that deny climate change, the two before this post being prime examples.
But, your lead in suggests that there is some similarity between today and the climate “34-60 million years ago”. For starters, about 3 million years ago, the Isthmus of Panama closed and the flows between the tropical Atlantic and the Pacific stopped. One result has been that the tropical Atlantic is much saltier than the Pacific, which has changed the circulation in the Atlantic resulting in the deep diving currents in the polar North Atlantic. As a result, the recent climate is different compared with your earlier period with a pattern of repeated periods of Ice Age conditions with occasional warm periods.
There’s quite a bit more to be learned. Have fun, but watch out for those who have an agenda and who haven’t taken the time to study the science.
E. Swanson, why the false accusation? Where did I ever “deny climate change”. Earth is currently in a natural warming phase. Is that “denying climate change”?
What I deny is your bogus GHE, that you can’t even provide a viable description of. That’s one reason we know it ain’t science.
“There are a few people who post around here that deny climate change,”
Climate is the statistics of historical weather observations. As weather changes, so do the statistics.
Go on, name someone who denies that weather changes.
Can’t do it? Won’t do it? Colour me unsurprised.
“Since life on earth did just fine without polar ice caps, why is there so much hysteria about our current warming trend and the very slight ice melt that is going on now?”
Setting aside the emotive “hysteria”…
Different geological periods best suited different ecologies. Humanity flourished and civilizations emerged in a single, stable geological period – the holocene. This came after a glacial period where the world warmed by 5 to 6 C over several thousand years, accompanied by sea level change of 130 metres. In the time our civilization have flourished, global temps have not changed much.
More recently the world has warmed by over 1 C in 100 years. This is 10 times faster than warming from the last glacial maximum 20,000 years ago.
The concern with anthropogenic global warming is not so much that we may be engineering a new geological period with warmer temps and higher sea levels, it is much more the rate at which this may occur, changing weather patterns, agricultural zones and water availability faster than our nation-locked populations can adapt to. If the world warmed at the rate of 1 C per 1000 years, as it did to arrive at our current period, we would not be concerned.
Cost/benefit analyses generally reckon that it will be much less stressful on humanity to reduce the global experiment with our atmosphere than to adapt to it.
There is plenty of uncertainty regarding outcomes, but as we are unable to walk away from our ongoing, unmanaged geological experiment, it would be imprudent to do nothing about it and hope for the best.
It is the fact that we are inside the test tube with no way to escape the results of our choices that makes the issue pointy.
Great panic-attack there barry.
You sound like Greta….
Hey Puffman, riddle me this –

“Humanity flourished and civilizations emerged in a single, stable geological period the holocene.

In the time our civilization have flourished, global temps have not changed much.”
The Sahara desert become is present vast desert, sea levels have dropped 1 meter, and Earth has become drier and colder.
Almost like Mars.
Now’s your cue.
barry…”More recently the world has warmed by over 1 C in 100 years”.
***
After it had cooled at least the same amount (Little Ice Age) over the previous 400+ years.
Come on, Barry, is the reality too much for your alarmist brain to process? What makes more scientific sense, that a trace gas caused the 1C warming or that the warming is actually a rewarming after an extensive period of cooling due to a mini ice age?
It may still go on recovering for some time. Akasofu (a geophycicist) estimated 0.5C/century rewarming. We are 174 years beyond 1850, when the LIA ended, and if it did cool 2C, we still have about 26 years to rewarm, if Akasofu is right.
It has only rewarmed 1C and the amount of ice created during the LIA, enhanced by winters, is likely delaying the full extent of the rewarming.
Willard, please stop trolling.
“More recently the world has warmed by over 1 C in 100 years”
No it hasnt. That is a physical impossibility.
You are probably referring to the fact that heat from human activities has been detected by thermometers.
That’s life. The planet itself is now cooler than it was four ago and a half billion years ago.
Accept reality if you dare.
barry is panicked because he believes Earth is warming faster than “it should”: More recently the world has warmed by over 1 C in 100 years.”
His cult believes that insignificant increase is due to CO2. Their cult equation calculates a 3.7 W/m². What the cult fails to understand is Earth handles a change of 90 W/m² every year, with no one noticing.
But poor barry and Greta live in fear of an imaginary 3.7 W/m² increase.
See what cults can do?
I don’t see anything alarmist about my description of the concern with global warming. It starts by dismissing the word ‘hysteria’, and seems a lot more relaxed than the spikey chattering that followed it.
Relax everyone.
“I dont see anything alarmist about my description of the concern with global warming”
Obviously, you wouldn’t, would you?
You seem to think that anthropogenically generated heat is harmful. Others, like Svante Arrhenius, might think it was positively beneficial, and lead to ” ages with more equable and better climates.”
Let me know when the Antarctic has warmed to its previous fertile ice-free state. Should I panic if that happens?
In the meantime, keep worrying on my behalf. I can’t be bothered.
Mike Flynn,
Svante was also a board member of the Swedish Society of Racial Hygiene, an organisation established in 1909 which pursued the study and promotion of eugenics.

In the time our civilization have flourished, global temps have not changed much.
Aye, there’s the rub. And that’s a very short time. We are about to move into an envelope in which we have never previously been tested as a civilisation. Maybe our technological talents will help us navigate the change. And maybe not.
Sorry Elliott, but we’re NOT moving into some dangerous “envelope”.
You need to recognize you’ve been fed a system of untruths. Start with some basic easy-to-understand physics, such as — What is “temperature”:

A crisis is a combination of danger and opportunity. Global warming presents us with those characteristics. The prospect of more dangerous weather, loss of coastal cities and the disappearance of the glacial “water towers” of Asia is an obvious series of dangers. On the other hand, the transition of the economy to renewable energy is a vast economic opportunity, offering both growth and wider distribution of wealth to poor but sun-rich countries.
The problem is that in the English-speaking world, in particular, bad actors have made an ideological issue out of the science. It’s a war between tribes. Just like with creationism, smoking and vaccines there is more heat than light, at least from one side.
“The problem is that in the English-speaking world, in particular, bad actors have made an ideological issue out of the science”

Rob Mitchell…re ice-free Poles in the past…our current axial tilt is about 23 degrees. If something happened in the past, like a massive collision with a body of significant mass, it could have knocked the planet from a vertical axis to one with the 23 degree tilt. If the axis was vertical before, that would explain the ice-free poles.
Such a body my even have affected the orbit itself.
Have you ever read Velikovsky (worlds In Collision, Ages in Chaos). He is regarded as highly controversial but his work is based on ancient history. I find his writing absorbing even though I am not sold on his claims. However, as I said, the evidence he supplies to back his claims are good.
The interesting thing for me is that Velikovsky predicted the temperature of Venus to be 800F (427C), based on his claims. He was very close as was discovered by the Pioneer probe in 1978. Till then, the surface temperature of Venus had been thought to have been a lot lower.
Not only that, the current anthropogenic theory is based on the alleged greenhouse effect on Venus. That was proposed by Carl Sagan and adopted by James Hansen of NASA GISS. Hansen’s tipping point theory, the basis of the catastrophic global warming theory, is based entirely on the thory that CO2 in th Venusian atmosphere caused a greenhouse environment that reached a tipping point and ran away with itself.
The Pioneer probe proved that theory wrong since a surface temperature of 450C could not be explained by a greenhouse effect. It is far too hot and according to astronomer Andre Ingersoll, it would contradict the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
Thanks Gordon, Clint, and others for your thoughts on climate change and how much of an urgency is actually there.
I noticed there were some comments about “deniers” yet again. I don’t know of anybody within the field of meteorology who denies that climate changes. We all agree that climate changes due to a multitude of reasons. And we all agree that living organisms also play some role in climate change. The big argument is over how much.
I think the alarmist gang really went off the rails over cows and their greenhouse emissions. Whenever the fact that millions of buffalo roamed the land before domesticated cows is brought up, the alarmists (mostly non-scientists) were reduced to saying the most absurd thing – domesticated cows have worse burps and farts than the buffalo! I cannot come to any other conclusion than the climate-social justice warriors are going after our food supply. Just look at the current administration and their efforts to blame our farmers for causing too much CO2 emissions. And they are trying to punish our farmers because they dare to use the internal combustion engine for their farming.
I think Dr. Lindzen is right. Climate change is no longer a scientific argument. It is a political movement.

A large high pressure system is sitting west of Tasmania and will remain stationary until the weekend.
A high pressure system is an area of high pressure relative to its surroundings. On the map, it appears with an ‘H’ with the number indicating the pressure.
This system will impact weather right across the country until Sunday. Parts of southern and central Australia are likely to experience widespread morning frosts, very cold nights with cool and sunny days to follow, while coastal areas of NSW and Qld can expect some showers.
For places close to the centre of the high, sea levels will be about 30cm lower than usual due to the air pressure pushing down on the water.
The high is forecast to travel across Tasmania on Saturday before moving into the Tasman Sea late Sunday.

Roy would benefit most from a genuine moderator, and an AI would be the most practical choice.
Doesn’t Youtube use AI? That doesn’t work too well.
My experience with AI to date has been that it depends how intelligently it is used. The initial experience was a big Wow, followed by disillusionment, followed by a big productivity boost once it settled in. As Dr. Roy works at a university, I’d guess that the opportunity to have some students set it up is there. I think it would be worth a try.
We have seen that just blocking words has little beneficial effect on the quality of conversation. I bet an AI could spot ankle-biting behaviour like svensdottir, given a bit of training.
> also based on the IP address
And then the Gods of the Internet created VPNs…
There’s no other way to moderate than to do it by hand. Curation is a duty anyway. According to WP terms, the owner is responsible for the comments on his website.
Banning “​” and “‌” (and perhaps other special character entities) would help. At least those who want to bypass moderation would have to own it explicitly, like when Mr. Asshat’s uses “ijit.”
Moderating the blog shouldn’t be that hard. All it takes is a good RSS reader. An easy task would be to “zamboni” the threads from Roy’s posts that are not global temps updates. They alone should be what we call “open threads.”
Closing comment threads after a while would also make it easier. There’s no reason to let Gill and Graham D. Warner prevaricate the way they do on that other thread.
Alright, enough chit chat. See you in July.
Indeed, Elliot. It seems quite straightforward to bypass bans on this site. Willard pointed out that the IP address block can simply be sidestepped with VIP status.
History suggests “Swe*nson” will return under a new alias and resume his previous behavior despite the ban. It’s only a matter of time.
Roy lacks the time to manage the blog alone, so we require a permanent moderator who can flag behaviors Roy finds objectionable, such as denying the greenhouse effect.
Ja Ja Ja Bindidork has been trying to become a moderator for years still no go
"Roy lacks the time to manage the blog alone, so we require a permanent moderator who can flag behaviors Roy finds objectionable, such as denying the greenhouse effect…"
…and do what, exactly? Once "flagged", are they to be flogged? Burn the heretics? Stamp out, silence, ban any opposition to the GHE?
Just silly. What’s wrong with questioning the GHE?
What’s wrong with people who question the GHE? Why exactly do they deserve so much hatred, bigotry, and intolerance?
“Whats wrong with people who question the GHE? Why exactly do they deserve so much hatred, bigotry, and intolerance?”
I couldn’t care less about their personal stance on the GHE. What bothers me, and I believe many others, is that a significant number of these individuals come here to disrupt discussions and target those who do support the GHE. Despite Roy’s repeated requests for them to leave, they continue to return.
Many of us would rather read meaningful conversations. As a moderator, why aren’t you living up to your name?
On the subject of climate change, I can’t think of a more “meaningful discussion” than whether or not there’s a GHE. Why shouldn’t it be discussed? Why are those who doubt there’s a GHE seen as the aggressors, anyway?
Why is it OK for a skeptic blog to be dominated by “alarmist” regulars, but those who question the GHE are persona non grata? Doesn’t actually make any sense, when you think about it. Oh well.

So the reason is simple: Roy owns the blog. Meanwhile, it hasn’t gone unnoticed that Graham D. Warner just implied that Roy was an intolerant bigot. He (and soon Mr. Asshat when he’ll get his second drink) usually try to dodge that fairly basic point by pretending that they’re not Sky Dragon cranks. But everyone knows they are.
They deny the greenhouse effect. They have no theory to offer. They dominate the bandwidth.
Imagine. Graham D. Warner is still defending Puffman, a guy who has been banned multiple times by Roy.
His current victim playing has no merit at all.
Below, Little Willy trashes and ridicules Dr Spencer’s “lukewarm” position. Up here, he acts like he speaks for him.
And no, I didn’t imply Dr Spencer was an intolerant bigot. It was John W’s suggestion to get a moderator to “flag” GHE skepticism as a thought crime.
And so Graham D. Warner deflects once again. Here is where he expressed his opinion on moderation:
https://www.drroyspencer.com/2024/02/proof-that-the-spencer-christy-method-of-plotting-temperature-time-series-is-best/#comment-1635889
The “for posterity” bit did not age well.
So Roy has been indulging his fantasy of having some sort of control over people. And he’s “supressing freedom of expression.” Graham D. Warner also said other things about censors elsewhere. They’re consistently not complimentary.
Oh, and Mr. Asshat compared censors to Goebbels too!
DREMT,
“Why is it OK for a skeptic blog to be dominated by alarmist regulars, but those who question the GHE are persona non grata? Doesnt actually make any sense, when you think about it. Oh well.”
First off, you are misusing the word skeptic, as your clan refuses to examine the evidence for the greenhouse effect.
Those of you who have been banned, not because they deny the GHE, but because they are rude.
It’s just a game to you, with all your PSTing always having to have the last word, while not taking part in the discussions.
You can be polite and deny the GHE, why don’t you try it.
Dr. Roys Emergency Moderation Team,
What would you do if you were Roy?
Little Willy and bob fish for another ban. Sorry bob, but generally speaking you and Little Willy are a lot more rude than I am. I have my moments, same as everyone else, but generally you two are a lot worse.
John W, he does not need to do anything. The blog is great as it is, and long may it continue.
Graham D. Warner, forever the victim.
He could at least reflect on the fact that his own PSTering is involved. He could also reflect on the fact that his justification foe PSTering has no merit anymore. He could also reflect on the fact that Roy once asked him why he larped as his moderator.
No, he has to rip off his shirt once more. By the time he does he could have came up with at least two other names of luckwarmers. Three would be easy, but at least two would be fine.
“Graham D. Warner, forever the victim.”
Yup.
There’s more of the regular skeptics here who question the GHE to some extent than there are “lukewarmers”, that’s for sure. Meanwhile, there’s literally about twenty “alarmist” regulars. So, anyone trying to promote a narrative that there would be some “sophisticated discussion” between “lukewarmers” and “alarmists” that is being ruined by the GHE skeptics is definitely out of touch with the reality of this blog. Fact is, discussing the GHE is the reason this blog has so many comments and so much traffic. Also, it is popular due to the relaxed moderation.
DREMPTY,
You seem to have reading comprehension issues as I was not angling for a ban.
I was asking you to stop being rude.
X was the rudest of the lot, with no self control.
Graham D. Warner still rips off his shirt while pushing for a bogus argument.
There are five main Sky Dragon cranks, now four for a short while. There are more than five luckwarmers already. There will be more when Sky Dragon cranks will accept that they have been disinvited since 2013.
Not denying the greenhouse effect until one comes up with an alternative numerical model that accounts for the current warming. How hard can that be?
Most of the regular skeptics here question the GHE to some extent, Little Willy. And, there are far more “alarmist” regulars than skeptics, regardless.
I’m not being rude, bob. You and Little Willy are a lot more rude than I am.</p
And now Graham D. Warner tries to move Sky Dragon cranks under the umbrella of those who deny the greenhouse effect tO SOmE EXtEnT…
He might as well argue that the Pope of the Luckwarm church too denies the greenhouse effect, at least to some extent!
I said “to some extent” already, in my 7:26 AM comment to be precise. You must not have been paying attention again.
No, “lukewarmers” most definitely do not question the GHE to any extent. In fact, they defend it as staunchly as the “alarmists” do.
Those who deny that we could reach 5C by 2100 are denying the greenhouse effect, at least To SOmE eXTEnT…
All Graham D. Warner has is word games, and he’s not very good at them.
Sounds like your usual empty, hate-filled trash talk, Little Willy.
Graham D. Warner can’t even admit that his “to some extent” was mere weasel wording. Some, but not me, might argue that trying to weasel Sky Dragon cranks’ concerns on every page is what he does best.
I would rather argue that PSTering tops it all.
Speaking of which: will he continue?
If you say so, Little Willy.
Graham D. Warner kinda “forgot” to respond –
Will he continue PSTering people?
No idea.
Res ipsa loquitur.
OK, Little Willy.
DREMPTY,
“Im not being rude, bob. You and Little Willy are a lot more rude than I am.”
You have just admitted being rude, thank you.
I find your constant, or near constant PSTing to be rude, especially since you only do it to people who thing the GHE is real.
It is obvious you search the thread for me, and post PST
“he does not need to do anything. The blog is great as it is, and long may it continue.”
Well, that’s your opinion, but Roy (the blog owner) and most participants here would prefer less tro+lling.
I would prefer that too, John W. I politely ask them to stop, but they just won’t.
“Just silly. Whats wrong with questioning the GHE?
Whats wrong with people who question the GHE? Why exactly do they deserve so much hatred, bigotry, and intolerance?”
Nothing wrong with that, but if it doesn’t lead to learning the science properly, what good is it.
The science is all sorted, there is a GHE, whether or not if we can explain it to the likings of your cargo cult.
bob wants the last word, again.
Much appreciated.
Thank you!
All hail the great Dr. Roy.
Very good , now fix the satellite tilled so it reads back to normal
Is English your first language? Because it seems the satellite is broken, and needs to have its soil ploughed, while making it literate in a right-to-left written language.
Poor old Mike. They broke the mould before they made him.
He certainly put you in your place a few times.
I particularly like this bit:

I actually use the extension. More beautiful pages. In-line images. Great so far.
You won’t actually use the “blocker” part of it though, Little Willy. That might mean someone you have taken a dislike to for no particular reason could get the last word, without you knowing!
If only Mike could have worded his prediction in a way that would prevent Graham D. Warner from trying to play another of his silly semantic games.
Speaking of whom, perhaps he could recall his own prediction regarding Elliott’s extension?
I think I said I don’t think many will use it. Maybe they will, as there’s some additional features besides the “blocker”. I can’t see many of the regulars here actually using the “blocker”, for the reason I mentioned to you, Little Willy. Too many old rivalries between the regulars. Blocking your old enemies out just means they will get the last word, without you knowing about it! Can’t see anyone going for that, the last word is too important for most people here, as the reaction to PSTs demonstrates.
[GRAHAM D. WARNER NOW] I don’t think many will use it.

Perhaps Graham D. Warner is not the good person he thinks he is.
Yes, “as far as I know, nobody used it. Perhaps you will have more success, but probably not”. Though Elliott seems more persistent in his promotion and has offered additional features besides the “blocker”, so perhaps I will be proven wrong.
We can all bow to Graham D. Warner’s authority on persistence.
His prediction was wrong. He would have lost his bet had he made one. That’s about it.
Except for the “now that you have finished wasting all that time” bit. Elliott did not waste his time. To see that, install his extension and witness:
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/XT_0sn1Er7Q
If you say so, Little Willy.
Graham D. Warner kinda “forgot” to respond –
Will he continue PSTering people?
Wrong sub-thread, Little Willy.
Graham D. Warner’s official response merits to be shared:
“No idea.”
So Graham D. Warner has no idea if he will continue abusing Roy’s moderation policy!
The fishing for a ban continues.
Graham D. Warner’s personal vendetta continues.
I leave that sort of thing to you guys.
Why of course:

Sometimes he’s just having a little fun. Other times duty calls.
Perhaps he could clarify what he means by “that’s not good” and “the price that must be paid”?
If Dr Spencer wants me to stop politely requesting that people stop doing that naughty thing that they do, I will. He only has to say.
That’s the kind of comment that shows beyond any reasonable doubt why no one should ever take Graham D. Warner seriously forever again.
He only has to say.
Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be i d i o t s will eventually be flooded by actual i d i o t s who mistakenly believe that they’re in good company.
Thank you!
Apropos blessed silence, the latest Chromium version of the Tarderase plugin for this blog is submitted. Should be up in a couple of days, based on performance to date. I’ll get the Firefox version up ASAP. The current feature set is:
* Lets you mute simpletons. (Only from your own POV.)
* Displays inline images in place of links, including from Googol Drive. There is a problem with this on Bindidon’s browser which I cannot yet remedy.
* Allows you to select a list of authors and filter the blog to just their posts – meant to make it easier to track your interactions.
* Optionally shows a histogram of user activity.
* Allows you to open and collapse threads of activity.
* More features function in real-time, responding as you click.
* Popup window styled a bit more nicely with Bootstrap.
* Optionally changes the blog to a nice, sans-serif font.
I must say, in the few days I have been using the plugin, this blog has been a whole different place. More pictorial, and less plagued by ankle-biters who I can no longer see. All participation welcome.
P.S. That’s Version 1.3.0, I should mention.
Oh yes, and:
* Buttons added under the comment field to allow you to change a text selection to Bold, Italic and Block Quote or remove that style. I thought this would make it easier to format your posts.
Doesn’t muting some people mean you don’t understand what the rest are talking about half the time?
It does make the conversation a bit disjointed in some cases, yes. If you use it over a period of time, then interactions between you and the simpletons simply do not arise, which may mitigate the effect.
It’s up to each of you to decide how you want to deal with the tralls. My plugin adds some features which I think are useful, but I can’t tell you how to use the blog.
Thanks Elliott, I could do with muting at least one noxious participant.
A bit like a slightly more sophisticated version of putting your fingers in your ears and singing “la la la, I can’t hear you” as loud as you possibly can, but at least it’s only from your own POV. Harmless enough. Better than openly campaigning day after day to get specific people banned, whilst pretending you’re doing it for the good of the blog rather than your own personal vendetta.
Quick question: how many people identifying as “luke warmers” regularly contribute to the blog? Of the regulars here, I can only think of gbaikie…and even he goes for a climate sensitivity value that must call into question the GHE to some extent.
Cogent disagreement is welcome. Ill-informed sniping is tedious. I would mute at least one person because I can’t seem to help feeding the you-know-what.
What is a lukewarmer? Agrees with AGW, but thinks it will be mild?
A luckwarmer, as defined by its Arch-Bishop, i.e. Moshpit, is a bet under 3C for a doubling of CO2 in the atmosphere. So basically a hair under what the IPCC suggests. It is *not* defined by denial of climate sensitivity.
One could argue that the concept evolved over time. For instance, it does not preclude from alarmist claim such as:
https://3000quads.com/
That’s from Moshpit’s sidekick, whom tends to rip off his shirt in Climateball threads. Not unlike Graham D. Warner, who has a knack to project his own sociopathy unto otters.
A lukewarmer is someone who thinks CO2 emissions are responsible for some of the modest warming observed and in our climate that natural causes, such as climatic cycles, are responsible for most, if not all, of the warming.
I would add lukewarmer is someone who thinks CO2 absor*tion is saturated; GHE due to CO2 isn’t going to be a factor going forward.
That is about where my opinion lies too.
Corrected version
A lukewarmer is someone who thinks CO2 emissions are responsible for some of the modest warming observed in our climate and that natural causes, such as climatic cycles, are responsible for most, if not all, of the warming.
I would add lukewarmer is someone who thinks CO2 absor*tion is saturated; GHE due to CO2 isnt going to be a factor going forward.
That is about where my opinion lies too.
Perhaps I should preempt one forthcoming semantic game. The limit of what is usually considered a Luckwarmer is basically what Nic Lewis can find, so a central estimate around 2C. I call that the lowest bound of justified disingenuousness, with a tip of my hat to RyanO. An old discussion can be found here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20170429151100/http://www.climatedialogue.org/climate-sensitivity-and-transient-climate-response/
It should be noted that Nic’s work rests on an Energy Balance Model. So our beloved Sky Dragon cranks might wish to issue their usual caveat emptor. It should also be noted that this means Roy and Tim are luckwarmers.
Participants of this blog might appreciate the tone and the level of sophistication of discussions.
Ken,
The issue with the saturation argument is that it fails to account for the fact that the saturation effect of CO2 decreases with altitude. As the height of emission increases, the colder temperatures at higher altitudes result in slower emission of infrared radiation.
*** True. There is no such thing as atmospheric saturation of CO2 emission/absorption. Not even on Venus. It’s not just the altitude effect, but also the pressure broadening effect, with CO2 affecting broader ranges of wavelengths the lower in the atmosphere you are. -Roy
They don’t even know what a “lukewarmer” is! That says it all, really. Let’s face it, pretty much everyone that is skeptical of AGW on this blog (amongst the regulars, certainly) is at least somewhat skeptical of the GHE. It seems if you’re a regular here, you’re either a full-on “alarmist”, or you’re a GHE skeptic! So, what does Elliott want to do? Block out all the GHE skeptics so it’s just a bunch of “alarmists” agreeing with each other? What’s the point?
Oh, Tim S. There’s another “lukewarmer”. So, there’s two.
Graham D. Warner had one chance to make amends, and he fails it!
Here is proof:
https://judithcurry.com/2015/11/05/lukewarming/
This is not rocket science. Graham is trying to make Sky Dragon cranks relevant by trying to intimate that they belong in the luckwarm category. But since he’s a jackass, he can’t come out and *say* it. He has to resorts to a silly Socrates act.
To demonstrate what? That he is willing to relitigate every single point to the death instead of just accepting that he should pipe up from time time.
All wrong, Little Willy. I cross-posted with about three other people at once. As I was writing my last comment out, barry’s comment was the only one I could see. The rest hadn’t posted yet. Then when I posted my comment, there they were. So, I was responding to barry alone when I said that it seemed like they don’t even know what a “lukewarmer” is.
I’m not trying to lump GHE skeptics in with “lukewarmers”. My point is that this blog has hardly any “lukewarmer” regular commenters. So, there is Ken as well. I guess there’s possibly three, then? If Elliott wants to drown out all those who question the GHE, who will be left? Three “lukewarmers” and about twenty “alarmists”!
Graham D. Warner shows his immense reading skills again. Barry’s understanding of what is a Luckwarmer (“agrees with AGW, but thinks it will be mild”) is perfectly fine. His own understanding (“I can only think of gbaikie…and even he goes for a climate sensitivity value that must call into question the GHE to some extent”) is not.
Sometimes Gill self-identifies as a luckwarmer too. That does not mean much. These days he’s quite busy piling on with Graham on Nate, who calmly tries to reason with these two crooks.
And no, I wasn’t referring of TS, who’s basically this blog’s John G. Roberts. Mighty Tim is most probably a luckwarmer. He disagrees for instance that all the warming is caused by CO2. Which is true in a way, for it’s more than all the warming…
But I digress. The main reason why Sky Dragon cranks are unwelcome is because they’re cranks. They got no social skills.
John W
I like Happer and Wijngaarden paper that shows spectrum is saturated. They’ve done the math for spectral lines at all altitudes.
** No they don’t! People keep misrepresenting what they did in that study. They got the same broadband IR radiative forcing from 2XCO2 as others before them got. I verified this with Will Happer. See Table 3 in their paper: https://co2coalition.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Infrared-Forcing-by-Greenhouse-Gases-2019-Revised-3-7-2022.pdf –Roy
Actually, Little Willy, I asked how many people identifying as “lukewarmers” contribute regularly to the blog. I happen to know that gbaikie has said he thinks of himself as a “lukewarmer”. So, he counts, regardless.
And yes, barry’s guess at what a “lukewarmer” is, was fine, but the point was, it was a guess. He didn’t actually even know what a “lukewarmer” was, as in he had apparently never heard the phrase before and so had to guess at it!
Are there many people identifying as “lukewarmers” posting here? No. Not regulars. They’re in the minority, for sure. Far more people skeptical of the GHE, to some extent, commenting regularly.
‘Luckwarmer’ is defined here as a boring arts program dropout (he can’t spell lukewarm) who thinks AGW is real and present threat because Steven Guilbeault, ex criminal and Canada’s minister of climate change, says so.
1.4C per doubling (the lowest W.A. can get, Bill is the rubberstamper here) is right under the limit of justified disingenuousness. And that’s notwithstanding the saturation argument. When it’ll get published somewhere else than the CO2 coALiTIoN, we’ll see.
Meanwhile, luckwarmers might consider that we’re already not far from that 1.4C. Since they really really really like to invoke “observations,” they might need to ponder on how to reconcile with what we’re currently observing. One day we will get out of our solar minimum…
Besides, a luckwarm sensitivity does not preclude very bad events from happening. It only postpone them by a few decades. Which means debates over sensitivity is utterly irrelevant from a geological standpoint.
The long and the short of it is that unless we get to net zero we will sooner or later reach what is projected by the most extreme RCPs.
And that’s the memo.
Oh, and of course I can spell “luckwarm”:
http://rabett.blogspot.com/2015/09/eli-explains-it-all.html
Incidentally, Moshpit is the art dept drop out, if one counts lichurchur as art. Also, Kennui is not very far from being a crank. If only he could drop the silly saturation argument…
“Meanwhile, luckwarmers might consider that were already not far from that 1.4C. Since they really really really like to invoke observations, they might need to ponder on how to reconcile with what were currently observing. One day we will get out of our solar minimum”
Why does a boring ‘luckwarmer’ thinks it wise to decide that 1.4C is some kind of threshold?
How did we get here? Observations of Climate Cycles. There is no artifact of CO2 in any climate data.
https://schillerinstitute.com/media/carl-otto-weiss-le-changement-climatique-est-du-a-des-cycles-naturels/
I am barely ‘lukewarm’.
> Why does a boring “luckwarmer” thinks it wise to decide that 1.4C is some kind of threshold?
Only publication decides the limits of justified disingenuousness. It’s really really really really hard to get under 2C with a reasonable model. It’s not like luckwarmers haven’t tried. The Pope of the Luckwarm Church could not even find a reviewer that would vouch for his 0.5C.
Think about what a so insensitive climate implies for a second. How can we explain the Medieval Warm Period?
Contrarians just don’t think beyond the talking point they consider. They’re unconstrained by consistency. If they want to take an active part in Team Science, they’ll have to work on that.
‘Think about what a so insensitive climate implies for a second. How can we explain the Medieval Warm Period?’
Medieval Warm Period is explained by climate cycles. See Carl Otto Weiss.
Climate is driven by the sun and moderated by ocean currents. Above 280 ppm, CO2 has only a small effect on climate; most of the modest warming in our climate is due to natural climate cycles. Doubling CO2 means GHE increase by 3Wm-2; too small to matter.
Low sensitivity may not help explain Otto’s cycles. It is called climate sensitivity, not just CO2 sensitivity. Any forcing would do.
If only Kennui could RTFR from time to time.
DREMT,
“I cross-posted with about three other people at once. As I was writing my last comment out, barry’s comment was the only one I could see.”
So you were replying only to me but wrote,
“They don’t even know what a ‘lukewarmer’ is!”
The term “lukewarmer” has been used in the blogosphere for about 15 years, and it doesn’t have a strict, codified definition. I well know what it generally means. I wanted you to be specific about what you meant by it.
Instead you gave a typically derisive, scattershot answer that makes Elliott’s extension quite appealing.
OK, barry. Sorry I somehow upset you with my response.
My point is, if you block out all of those skeptics who question the GHE to some extent, because you believe they are “tards” to be “erased”, that’s going to leave you with…an echo chamber of “alarmists” (I put that word in square quotes because I don’t really agree with the label, but assume you will generally know who I’m referring to). Maybe a few “lukewarmers” amongst the chattering throng of general agreement. I really don’t see the point.
And…why would a skeptic blog even be close to being an “alarmist” echo chamber, in the first place? Why exactly are so many of the regulars here of that…persuasion?
Cranks or alarmists. There is no other possibility in Graham D. Warner’s ontology.
Norman? Alarmist.
Binny? Alarmist.
Richard? Alarmist.
Unless they deny the greenhouse effect tO SoMe eXtENt…
Bindidon is most definitely “alarmist”, despite his protests.
If Norman is a “lukewarmer”, he never really fights any “lukewarm” battles. If I see him comment, it’s generally to defend the GHE in some way.
If RLH is a “lukewarmer”, I’m not sure why he linked to those YouTube videos that question the GHE, a while back.
At worst, maybe there’s a couple more “lukewarmers” than I thought.
And so Graham D. Warner will continue his silly word games as if his future among us depended on it.
The fact of the matter is that there most if not commentators are nearer Roy’s position than Sky Dragon cranks.
Anybody who does not deny the greenhouse effect is. No ifs, no buts. Certainly no tO somE eXtenTs!
If you say so, Little Willy.
‘It is called climate sensitivity, not just CO2 sensitivity. Any forcing would do.’
Actually its called ‘chaotic complex multifactor system’.
‘Climate sensitivity’ is actually rather low.
Technically speaking, there are two concepts at play.
First is CS:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_sensitivity
So climate sensitivity is the amount of warming per radiative forcing, whatever that is. One could accept the greenhouse effect, the fact that there’s global warming (GW), a very high climate sensitivity, but deny that the global warming is anthropogenic (AGW).
Second is what is usually denoted by “climate sensitivity,” i.e. ECS:
https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6_WGI_AnnexVII.pdf
There is also TCR, which is more related to what luckwarmers are usually inspecting. For some reason they always confuse ECS and TCR studies. And there is ESS, which they tend to ignore. For obvious reasons.
Without Sky Dragon cranks always dominating comment threads, contrarians could RTFR and git gud. But no, we have to babysit them instead.
Without what you call "sky dragon cranks", you’d have hardly anyone on here to talk to on "the other side" of the debate, Little Willy. Why do you keep pretending there would be some amazingly constructive and productive debate on climate change if only the "sky dragon cranks" would stop interfering? Aren’t you the one who created the idea of Climateball in the first place, strongly suggesting you think the entire debate is a game, or pointless, in any case?
Graham D. Warner keeps harping his inane argument. It has already been refuted. He’s wrong, but he’ll keep trying to make himself and other Sky Dragon cranks relevant anyway.
What’s the point?
There’s no point…if you have no counter-argument but to assert I’m wrong with no logic or evidence.
“My point is, if you block out all of those skeptics who question the GHE…”
That’s not what I am blocking out. Was I not clear the first time?
“Cogent disagreement is welcome. Ill-informed sniping is tedious. I would mute at least one person because I can’t seem to help feeding the you-know-what.”
You use the word “tard,” as if it’s a word I used. I said, “ill-informed sniping.”
The ratio of cogent, well-informed discussion to ridicule and game-playing is vanishingly small with one participant here. It’s annoying, and drags the discussion down to awful levels. If I could easily resist I would not consider using Elliott’s extension.
I’ve been too busy to participate much the last few months, and with time away, the sordidness of a lot of the discussion is more starkly obvious. It’s just very unpleasant. I have great discussions with people who disagree with me elsewhere.
It’s not about the difference of opinion, it’s about the quality of the conversation.
You and I have sometimes managed to do quite well here.
Graham D. Warner lingers on –
“if you have no counter-argument but to assert”
I already proved a counter-argument: there are more luckwarmers here than Sky Dragon cranks. He’s the one who asserts that there are no luckwarmers here. Many commenters here play home. Most of them are not Sky Dragon cranks.
It’s always the same formula with contrarians. First, they deny something. Second, when challenged, they request a sammich. Third, when they’re caught pants down, they keep saying stuff.
Suppose that there wouldn’t be for me any reason to comment here, say because he and Puffman and Mr Asshat stopped commenting. I’m sure everybody would rejoice of being rid of three of the most obnoxious cranks in the history of Climateball.
Thus his presumption falls flat on its face.
Besides, suppose that Sky Dragon cranks abided by Roy’s wishes and stopped denying the greenhouse effect without providing an alternative numerical model. Who gives a flying truck if they stay? It’s not because they’re Sky Dragon cranks that they’re disinvited, it’s because they keep relitigating the greenhouse effect empty handed.
It’s as if Graham D. Warner has never had any responsibility in his life.
“I already proved a counter-argument: there are more luckwarmers here than Sky Dragon cranks.”
You haven’t proved that. Not amongst the regulars here.
“He’s the one who asserts that there are no luckwarmers here”
False. I said there’s a few, but that there’s more regular commenters who question the GHE.
barry says:
“That’s not what I am blocking out. Was I not clear the first time?”
OK, then. It seems to be what some people want to block out. Like the person who created the program, Elliott.
“The ratio of cogent, well-informed discussion to ridicule and game-playing is vanishingly small with one participant here.”
Yes, and Little Willy just won’t stop.
I added a quick bug-fix in version 1.3.1. The Bold/Italic/Block-quote buttons should now function correctly. A last-minute refactoring and failure to test properly led to an element of upfucking, as we say in the trade, and the buttons remained disabled even when you selected text. Should all work now.
It is likely that Beryl will make landfall over Houston before dawn on July 8.

Hi, Gordon, I would like to discuss with you the followiing:
“The Temperature Amplification leads to what Hansen called a tipping point, meaning the exponential increase of signal per iteration will eventually run away to infinity.”
“Anyone who think climate models are anywhere near accurate lacks the scientific ability to understand why they are not. There are two main problems. The amount of CO2 warming programmed into them is 9% to 25% whereas the actual value according to the Ideal Gas Law and the heat diffusion equation is 0.06%.”
–
–
I think the increase of signal is not exponential, and it is limited, it never runs away to infinity.
Let’s estimate the increase of signal per iteration:
The first iteration, then the second iteration, then etc. … then towards the infinite iteration…
Example, let’s assume the Earth’s surface emits ” 240 W/m^2 ” IR outgoing EM energy.
1st iteration = 240 W/m^2 + 240*0,0006 W/m^2
2nd iteration = 240 + 240*0,0006 + (240 + 240*0,0006 )*0,0006
3d iteration = 240 + 240*0,0006 + (240 + 240*0,0006 )*0,0006 +
+ [240 + 240*0,0006 + (240 + 240*0,0006 )*0,0006]*0,0006
there are not infinite iterations, because there is the succession of day and night, and every day it starts all over again.
Consequently there is not any exponential increase in Greenhouse Effect.

Christos…sorry if I mislead you. I don’t think positive feedback can exist in the atmosphere.
By iterations, I was referring to one cycle of an an electronic amplifier. I was trying to demonstrate positive feedback in an amplifier and why it needs an amplifier. A basic Class A amplifier is set up so a small signal introduced at the input varies a larger current supplied to the output circuit.
If you consider an NPN transistor, in a Class A configuration, the emitter is common to the base and the collector. The input signal is applied between the emitter and base and the output signal is taken from the larger current circuit involving emitter and collector.
The idea is that a small a/c signal applied to the input varies the impedance between emitter and collector. It is similar to a variable resistor across a power supply that can deliver much more current than runs through the input circuit. By placing a resistor in the collector circuit, the increase current through the emitter-collector produces a larger voltage across that load resistor, and that larger voltage represents the amplified signal.
If a small signal sine wave is applied to the input of a Class A amplifier, the entire signal will be transferred to the output as an amplified version. However, the signal will be inverted. Feedback affects the output signal by simply making the input signal slightly larger or slightly smaller. Therefore, the output signal will be slightly larger or slightly smaller each iteration.
However, with PF, a constant amplitude input signal gets larger each iteration therefore the output signal gets slightly larger, without bound, each iteration.
Positive feedback is normally undesirable in amplifiers for that reason. It makes the amplifier unstable, hence unusable. When it is used, mainly in oscillators, only a small spike of PF is used per iteration to replace the losses in an oscillatory circuit, such as an LC tank. Note that such feedback is not fed directly to the input but to another circuit in the input stage.
An LC tank is an inductor (L) in parallel with a capacitor (C). Such a circuit, when given a pulse of voltage will oscillate naturally at a frequency determined by the L and C values. However, it will quickly die off due to damping effects and circuit resistance. By inserting the LC tank in the emitter-base circuit of an amplifier, and feeding a spike of voltage back to the tank from the output, the oscillation can be sustained. That is the positive feedback signal is only enough to replace any lost energy in the tank. The resulting output signal is one with constant amplitude and constant frequency.
Feedback is actually a very simply arrangement of resistors and/or capacitor That take a certain amount of amplified output signal and feed it back to the input. The feedback signal can enhance the input signal (positive feedback) or subtract from it (negative feedback).
That’s it!!! Feedback does not amplify it merely helps control amplification in a small way. In the atmosphere, there is no heat amplifier hence no positive feedback that can affect warming.
***WITHOUT AN AMPLIFIER, POSITIVE FEEDBACK CANNOT EXIST IN THE ATMOSPHERE***.
Therefore speaking of positive feedback processes in the atmosphere is sheer pseudo-science. I have already pointed out that a servo-type feedback is possible, but there is no amplification in such a processes.
Moral…you can’t get something for nothing.
Mind you, there are exceptions but they have nothing to do with the atmosphere per se. The Seattle-Tacoma Bridge, a suspension bridge supported with strong cables, came under the influence of a sustained wind that caused the cables to vibrate. That vibration produced a resonance in the bridge deck that caused the bridge to break up and collapse.
Natural resonance can produce a a slight amplification, as in an acoustic guitar, but there is nothing in the atmosphere that can resonate or produce an amplified positive feedback effect. Therefore, Hansen’s tipping point theory is pseudo-science.
Thank you, Gordon.

Gordo continues his semantic confusion, insisting that a system can only exhibit “amplification” when there is an
“amplifier” which adds energy within said system. He ignores two processes within the climate system which produce positive feedback, that is to say, their effects increase as temperature increases. The highly non-linear water vapor feedback is one such process, another is the snow and ice albedo feedback.
Gordo doesn’t “do science”, so he can’t think outside his electrical world box
When Jimmy put his guitar near his amp, the output of the amp caused both the strings to vibrate more, as well as directly causing the pickups to increase their output. This makes the amp produce more sound.
Increase the temperature of the Earth, then there is more water vapor in the atmosphere which increases the GHE, which makes more water vapor in the atmosphere, which increases the temperature of the Earth.
And so on and so on.

Almost like Mars.
Nows your cue.–
Mars is called a cold desert like world. The desert ground is cold, but vacuum air above it, has no temperature. The top surface of the Moon is on average much colder than Mars, but at 1 meter depth, The lunar ground is warmer than Mars. At 1 meter depth, the lunar ground is about -40 C, though in small permanently shadowed areas of lunar polar region it can be about 50 K [-223.15 C].
With moon and Mars there is no air temperature, and with spacesuit, it requires refrigeration {one can evaporate water, and don’t need much water to keep cool enough, with Mars one might need more water to keep you cool enough. So for intelligent humans, the Moon or Mars isn’t warm or cold, and requires little energy, to maintain a comfortable temperature for humans or the life that human might bring.
This Venus quesstion is academically amusing, but has nothing to do with earth. The molecular density of CO2 on Venus is 150,000 times greater than on earth. If anyone wants the calculation just ask.
From scratch it is this easy. Data:
Surface Gravity – 0.904 earth g
Surface Pressure – 95 atm
CO2 Mole Weight – 44
Earth Weighted Average Mole Weight – 29
Venus Atmosphere Composition – 96.5% CO2
Earth Atmosphere Composition – 0.00042% – CO2
Calcualtion:
95 x 0.904 x 0.965 x 29 / 44 / 0.00042 = 130,050
Okay, so the precise calculation is a bit less than the back-of-the-envelope in my head, but I was pretty close.
Okay, I see my mistake. The gravity effect changes the calculation for the amount of CO2 on Venus versus Earth . The atmosphere has less effect on surface pressure on Venus than Earth because of the lower g value.
New Calculation:
95 x 0.965 x 29 / 0.904 / 44 / 0.00042 = 159,140
CO2 is a weak greenhouse gas. It’s the not major “greenhouse gas” on Venus. It’s the acid clouds.
Some will say Earth clouds are greenhouse gas. Earth clouds are more reflective than Venus clouds.
Some say CO2 causes earth to absorb more sunlight energy.
Venus absorbs very little sunlight compared to Earth, if replace the acid clouds with water clouds, Venus would absorb, less sunlight.
And it should be noted that if add water to the acid clouds of Venus, it would produce a lot of heat. Or water would be very explosive to add that strong acid.
Anyways, that acid is quite valuable. It’s major acid we make lot on Earth- useful.
And like anything explosive, you make rocket fuel from it.
gb…talk about acid rain. Not a good spot for a vacation in your new SUV.
Except the rain on Venus never reaches the ground.
The Soviets explored Venus, a bit, the US, not very much other global radar to map it’s rocky surface. It’s kind of unexplored like our oceans, which aren’t good with SUVs, either.
At the present we got to explore the lunar polar regions, though should finished doing that a couple decades ago.
In terms of NASA road map of exploring lunar polar region [to determine if there is mineable lunar water, and then send crew to Mars surface; the relationship with Venus to this roadmap is Venus orbit allows more access to getting and leaving from Mars.
And if we use Venus orbit, there will be more exploration of the planet Venus- we hardly know anything about Venus {the nearest and quickest planet to reach from Earth}.
“CO2 is a weak greenhouse gas. It’s the not major “greenhouse gas” on Venus. It’s the acid clouds.”
Sulphuric acid peak absorp.tion is in the ultraviolet range, and thus isn’t “greenhouse gas” on Venus, which emits in the infrared.
“bobdroege says:

Except the rain on Venus never reaches the ground.”
The much, much stronger than battery acid rain, would dissolve the surface of Venus, and not exist anymore if it could reach the ground.
If it could reach the ground, Venus would cool significantly.
And this is part of why, if you dumped water {a significant greenhouse gas, as compared to CO2] Venus would cool, significantly.
If we are a spacefaring civilization we will mine, Earth’s ocean amount of water, and the water will be cheaper than Earth water, we could cool Venus to be colder than Earth.
But in sense, it’s already colder than Earth.
From somewhere up above:
“2/ The microwave emission of Venus could only be accounted for by a hot surface maintained by the greenhouse effect ”
What a ridiculous statement.
The temperature of Venus surface is easily explained by its lack of water to cool the surface, and thick sulphuric acid clouds absorbing (and remitting to space) all of the solar input
Venus is heated in upper atmosphere, around 50 Km.
If got twice as much sunlight as Earth, and atmosphere is mostly heated at 50 Km up, O Km up, is going to be hot due to lapse rate.
Or if there was big hole on Earth which was not filled with water, but air, 5 km below sea level hole, would be hot.
Venus not 50 km down, is not hot, it’s cold.
But Earth at Venus distance, would be warmer.
We couldn’t be in an Ice Age.
Little holes in the sky:
“WATCH FIREFLY PUNCH A HOLE IN THE IONOSPHERE: When Firefly Aerospace’s Alpha rocket launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on July 3rd, astronomer David Blanchard of Flagstaff, Arizona, thought he might be too far away to see. ”
https://www.spaceweather.com/
“The lingering red glow in Blanchard’s movie is “the hole.” Earth’s ionosphere is a layer of electrically-conducting gas enveloping our planet more than 100 km high. It plays a key role in shortwave radio communications and GPS positioning. When Alpha burned through the ionosphere, water and carbon dioxide in the rocket’s exhaust quenched local ionization by as much as 70%. Red light is the afterglow of this process. …
“No harm done? Probably. But with launch rates continuing to climb, we are entering uncharted territory. Observers are encouraged to photograph nighttime launches and check their images for the telltale red glow. There may be much to learn.
Note: Human eyes are notoriously insensitive to the 6300 color of these holes. Cameras have no trouble, though. “Neither my wife nor I could see the red ‘rocket aurora’ in real time,” notes Blanchard. “But it showed up well in the images.”
Well, there would more excitement if humans weren’t effectively, blind. AI will see them all.
Only 10% of sunlight reaches Venus’ surface – the rest is reflected/re-emitted by those same, thick clouds. It’s why Venus shines so brightly in the night sky – it has a bond albedo of 0.77 – more than twice that of Earth.
Consider – Mercury’s average surface temperature is cooler than Venus’, and Mercury has virtually no atmosphere with a bond albedo of 0.14.
How could Venus be hotter than Mercury when it’s twice the distance from the sun and 5 times more reflective?
Because of the very strong greenhouse effect in its dense atmosphere.
“The temperature of Venus surface is easily explained by its lack of water to cool the surface”
The temperature of a terrestrial planet is determined by the amount of sunlight it receives and the rate at which that energy is radiated away.
Sorry barry, but your beliefs don’t match reality. With Venus, you’re WAY off.
The surface of Venus is over 800F. The high temperature is caused by vulcanism. You don’t seriously believe CO2 can cause such temperatures, do you?
Venus distance gets about 2600 watts per square meter.
10% is 260 watts per square meter. Mars gets about 600 watts. Germany in winter gets around 260 watts, or Scotland, or most of Canada, Iceland, etc- they more in the summer. Or very cloudy [when your world is dark] gets about 200 watts.
Venus gets none in winter or since it doesn’t much in terms of season- anywhere close to polar regions.
But in polar regions even at high elevation you are in darkness.
No stars [or moon].
Venus on it’s land surface, is much worse than Earth for solar power, but in right places and living in the sky, it can be much better than Earth.
Hello barry,
“How could Venus be hotter than Mercury when its twice the distance from the sun and 5 times more reflective?
”
Hmm. Maybe because it’s much more massive and hasn’t cooled as much as Mrrcury?
“Because of the very strong greenhouse effect in its dense atmosphere.”
Lol. That’s all geothermal energy my friend
“The temperature of a terrestrial planet is determined by the amount of sunlight it receives and the rate it is radiated away.”
Hogwash, the amount of sunlight it receives will tell you the limit it will cool to, after it has lost all its atmosphere..
15 doubling of CO2 concentration from what preindustrial Earth to present day concentration on Venus.
The winds at the middle cloud layer are a couple hundred miles per hour.
The axial tilt is 2 degrees.
So the weather is always the same cloudy, light winds, and hot.
Here is where this belongs. I am having a bad day. With the now correct data and necessary corrections for mole weight and gravity:
This Venus question is academically amusing, but has nothing to do with earth. The molecular density of CO2 on Venus is 154,100 times greater than on earth. Here is the Data for Venus:
Surface Gravity 0.904 earth g
Surface Pressure 92 atm
CO2 Mole Weight 44
Earth Weighted Average Mole Weight 29
Venus Atmosphere Composition 96.5% CO2
Earth Atmosphere Composition 0.00042% CO2
Calculation:
92 x 0.965 x 29 / 0.904 / 44 / 0.00042 = 154,100
“Hmm. Maybe because it’s much more massive and hasn’t cooled as much as Mrrcury?”
It’s the same size and age as Earth.
Before Venus was probed, scientists imagined it to have a tropical, hot surface temperature, not too much different from Earth.
A young scientist called Carl Sagan theorised that Venus’ surface would be much hotter because of its high CO2 concentration. His predicted high temperatures were shortly verified with the first probe of Venus.
Hello barry,
“Its the same size and age as Earth.”
Indeed it is. And thus started with approximately the same amount of volatile as Earth.
3 major factors changed the development of their atmospheres.
1. Distance from the sun
2. Rain reaching the surface
3. Life providing an abundant source of o2
#1 is part of the reason for #2, the atmosphere not cooling rapidly enough on Venus for rain to reach and cool its surface.
It’s surface therefore remained hot and thin with much overturning and outgrowing.
I suspect Venus has very little volatiles left to outgas and it’s interior, now much cooler than the Earth, is perhaps already beginning to congeal into a solid lump like Mercury.
When the sun has finished cooking off its water and it’s induced magnetic field collapses, I expect the solar wind will quickly blow the rest of its atmosphere away.
‘Outgrowing’ should read outgassing
barry is back, and as usual, he didn’t learn. Venus is very hot because of vulcanism. There is even lava on the surface!
This is not to pick on poor barry, but he’s a perfect example of the cult’s indoctrination. Not only do they not understand the science, they often don’t even understand their cult’s teachings. Here’s an example:
barry says: “Only 10% of sunlight reaches Venus’ surface — the rest is reflected/re-emitted by those same, thick clouds. It’s why Venus shines so brightly in the night sky — it has a bond albedo of 0.77 — more than twice that of Earth.”
A lot of confusion in only two sentences.
Venus receives 2600 W/m² from Sun. 10% of that would be 260 W/m². But barry states the albedo is 0.77, which means Venus would get 23% of solar, resulting in 598 W/m².
barry must somehow believe 598 = 260?
But, it gets worse….
The cult believes you must adjust solar for albedo, divide by 4, then adjust for albedo again. Doing all that for Venus —
Adjust for albedo: 2600 * 0.23 = 598
Divide by 4: 598/4 = 149.5
Adjust for albedo: 149.5 * 0.23 = 34 W/m²
So, according to barry’s cult, Venus surface only receives 34 W/m² from Sun.
So many things wrong, that’s why it’s nonsense.
How about reading what I wrote properly.
“Only 10% of sunlight reaches Venus’ surface the rest is reflected/re-emitted”
Albedo reflects most of the sunlight. Some of it is absorbed by the atmosphere and re-emitted in all directions (including spaceward). Approx 10% of sunlight gets to the surface.
You couldn’t even get through the first sentence properly, Clint.
Time waster.
barry, I showed the various ways to calculate what reaches the surface. Please indicate the value you believe in. If you don’t agree with any, please show us YOUR calculations.
“surface the rest is reflected/re-emitted
Albedo reflects most of the sunlight. Some of it is absorbed by the atmosphere and re-emitted in all directions (including spaceward). ”
And of course the amount of energy emitted spacewards (including of course mass loss)will be greater than the amount absorbed by the sun as the 2lot demands
Imagine if you were right every single second since the beginnings of times, Phil.
Hello Willard,
“Imagine if you were right every single second since the beginnings of times
If you are referring to the 2LoT, yes it has been true since the beginning of time, hence the word ‘Law’
The 10% of sunlight that gets through the atmosphere is daytime sunlight, not divided over the whole globe.
Clint says:
“The high temperature is caused by vulcanism.”
No one knows how much volcanic activity is occurring on Venus. There is no solid basis for what is pure assertion on your part.
You just make stuff up as you go along.
“You don’t seriously believe CO2 can cause such temperatures, do you?”
I rely on the consensus view of experts, not cranks who posit notions that are easily and regularly debunked.
barry, you didn’t answer. You messed up, but you can’t clean up your mess.
So now you’re spewing false accusations.
You’re such a good cultist.
“No one knows how much volcanic activity is occurring on Venus.”
Hello Berry,
Actually observations show next to no volcanic activity on Venus, but there us evidence of a vast overturning of its surface as little as 650 million years ago
Dear Phil,
You say –
“If you are referring to the 2LoT”
No, I’m not.

Why could you not simply post a link to this trivia rather than clogging the blog with off-topic crap?
Au contraire Mr Robertson, it is highly relevant to the nonsense claims made by you people.
And YOU of all people talking of clogging the blog with off-topic crap … rich.
two point…
1)Wiki is a rag where any ijit can post on a subject. You are surely not so simple that you think the items you post are accurate?
2)When I go off topic it is always related to Roy’s blog in some way. I see nothing in your post that does the same.
There is one quote where they are definitely wrong…
“(116) Vitamin C is effective in preventing or treating colds”
Linus Pauling was one of the greatest scientists of all times. He wrote the book on the covalent bond that is still used in universities, and he went to Europe in the 1920s to study quantum theory then applied it to chemistry for molecular structures.
HE continued the work of Irwin Stone on Vitamin C and he was particularly impressed by a study of Swiss school children given vitamin C to prevent colds. Being an eminent scientist he was well able to interpret the results. He thought the results of the study were significant.
Linus made no rash claims about vitamins C but based on his methodology I have tested it on myself. Since taking the requisite mega doses of vitamin C whenever I feel a cold or the flu coming on, the dose of C kills off the malady. Since starting the routine I have not suffered the effects of a full flu or cold.
I recall the bad old days when I’d come down with that achy feeling with a fever, only to be plagued by secondary infections like congestion, runny noses, hacking, etc. after the initial onslaught. No more. I never get secondary infection and the original flu/cold disappears as fast as it appeared.
Believe what you want, the relief I have experienced using mega doses of C has been remarkable.
Let’s look at it another way. Stop taking C altogether for a couple of months and you will slowly die a miserable death as your body literally falls apart.

“(61) Astronauts in orbit are weightless because they are outside the gravitation pull of the earth”
The problem I have with most of these is the “gotcha” flavour. It’s like some super-nerd sitting around trying to feel important by trying to entrap people.
The astronauts would not be orbiting if they were outside the gravitational pull of the Earth, nor would they be weightless. Since weight is a measure of a mass under the influence of a force, this time gravitational force, if their craft is held in orbit by the Earth’s gravity then the astronauts too must be under its influence, not matter how small the force.
Anyone with basic science should be able to work that one out but such nerds tends to pick on, and impress, people who have little formal education.

Vitamin C {and other vitamins will reduce effects. But stopping colds could be bad idea- it’s like physical exercise.
Though I am not a fan of doing a lot physical exercise- some amount and stretching- but not too most of a particular type of exercise.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cass_Elliot
Elliot retired to an apartment in Mayfair at Flat 12, 9 Curzon Place (later Curzon Square), Shepherd Market, Mayfair, London, owned by singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson who allowed her to stay there. Several hours after Elliot left Jack Martin’s cocktail party, she died in her sleep at age 32. According to Keith Simpson, who conducted her autopsy,[25] she died of a heart attack, and there were no drugs in her system.[27][28][29] Four years later, Keith Moon, drummer for the Who died in the same bedroom, also aged 32 years.[30][31][32]
Elliot did not die from choking on a ham sandwich.[33][34] According to Lindsay Zoladz in The New York Times in 2024, this “cartoonish rumor propagated in endless pop culture references, from Austin Powers to Lost cast a tawdry light over Elliots legacy and still threatens to overshadow her mighty, underappreciated talent.”[35] In 2020, a journalist and friend of Elliot’s, Sue Cameron, publicly admitted that she promulgated the false ham sandwich story by writing it into Elliot’s obituary for The Hollywood Reporter. She claimed she was asked to print the lie by Elliot’s manager Allan Carr, who decided that the humiliating falsehood was preferable to any implication that Elliot’s death was associated with substance abuse.[35] Elliot’s body was cremated at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles, California.[36] Her ashes were later buried in Mount Sinai Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles.[37]
To be clear, it is true that a Grand Jury can indict a ham sandwich. Swiss cheese and rye bread are not necessary.
Whatever the cause, it’s too bad these young people died so tragically.
Momma Cass, Janice Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Keith Moon, Bon Scott, Brian Jones, etc.

The propaganda about the ozone hole according to NASA GISS equals their propaganda about global temps and climate change. There is no way the concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere at the ozone altitude level is sufficient to block UV as they claim. The concentration of O2 at that altitude is less than the 0.04% attributed to CO2 at the surface.

Buontempo means good weather in English, and his phrase we have entered uncharted territory has become very popular. However, it assumes that we have reached and will remain in this situation, whereas the data suggest that this is a one-off anomaly with diminishing effects. For now, it tells us that nothing dramatic is happening as we approach the politically established warming threshold.
Gavin Schmidt, director of NASAs climate monitoring institute, also uses the expression uncharted territory when he explains that the 2023 anomaly worries scientists, saying that climate models cannot explain why the planets temperature suddenly spiked in 2023. Not only was the temperature anomaly much larger than expected, but it occurred months before the onset of El Nio. In his own words: The 2023 temperature anomaly has come out of the blue, revealing an unprecedented knowledge gap perhaps for the first time since about 40 years ago. It could imply that a warming planet is already fundamentally altering how the climate system operates, much sooner than scientists had anticipated.[iii] According to Gavin, we could have broken the climate and the models would no longer work.—
They never worked.
Javier has a firm grip on reality. I’ve seen his research before. He’s one of the few that understands the importance of the Polar Vortex on Earth’s temperature.
The cult will hate him….
gb…”…Buontempo means good weather in English…”

Actually, gb, tempo means time. Seems that buon should be buen, therefore buentempo should mean ‘good time’.
The quote from Gavin Schmidt is apt. The models cannot explain the spike, even though the rest of the eco-weenies are convinced it is caused by a trace gas.

***I am still awaiting any constructive criticism re my understanding of EE. I always offer my insight into EE in relation to the topics in Roy’s blog. For example, I have expounded on positive feedback, using my EE background to illustrate why PF cannot occur in the atmosphere. In case that goes over the heads of alarmists like Ant, PF is an important function in EE and I understand it well.
***Re Vitamin C…a sample size of one??? That one is represented by one of the greatest chemists of all times, Linus Pauling, and last time I looked ascorbic acid, aka vitamin C, is a molecule. Pauling was an expert in molecules and he understood the antioxidant effect of C in the body.
He also put to bed the theory that extra C, or extra vitamins, are a waste of money since they are allegedly peed out. Pauling took a 10 gram dose of C and actually measured the amount eliminated in urine and poop. He found that half is retained. He reasoned that any C eliminated must pass through the urinary tract and bowels and as an antioxidant would protect them against oxidative products like free radicals.
Good luck trying to do that with the RDA of 75 mg.
That’s why C is so effective against colds and flus. When those invaders try to alter body composition, C intervenes, provided there is enough in the body.
***re proof that vaccines don’t cause autism, Ant rises to the challenge by tossing the question back into my court….the sign of a brilliant debater.

Mr. Asshat never listens.
Swannie believes that heat can be transferred, by its own means, from cold to hot, thus negating the 2nd law. He even performed an experiment for which he arrived at the wrong conclusion.
Bob just prints stuff trying to get under the skin of skeptics. Both Bob and Swannie are good guys, unlike you, a scumbag who continues to post Dremt’s real name.
PhilJ…continuing the Venus greenhouse debate…
“The temperature of Venus surface is easily explained by its lack of water to cool the surface, and thick sulphuric acid clouds absorbing (and remitting to space) all of the solar input…”
***
Phil…interesting point but that can hardly explain a surface temperature of 450C. Still scratching my head on that one.
The 2nd law tells us that heat cannot come from the atmosphere since it would have to be greater than 450C.
“Atmospheric forces can be studied to arrive at a speculation on the climate. As winds blew across the “Mediterranean Sink”, they would heat or cool adiabatically with altitude. In the empty Mediterranean Basin, the summertime temperatures would probably have been extremely high. As a first approximation, using the dry adiabatic lapse rate of around 10 C (18 F) per kilometer, the maximum possible temperature of an area 4 km (2.5 mi) below sea level would be about 40 C (72 F) warmer than it would be at sea level. Under this extreme assumption, maxima would be near 80 C (176 F) at the lowest points of the dry abyssal plain, permitting no permanent life but extremophiles. Further, the altitude 35 km (23 mi) below sea level would result in 1.45 to 1.71 atm (1102 to 1300 mmHg) air pressure, further increasing heat stress. However, these simple estimates are likely far too extreme. Murphy et al.’s 2009 general circulation model experiments[49] showed that for completely desiccated conditions, the Mediterranean basin would warm by up to 15 C (27 F) in summer and 4 C (7.2 F) in winter, while for a depressed water surface, temperatures would warm by only about 4 C (7.2 F) in summer and 5 C (9.0 F) in winter. In addition, the model results indicated global stationary wave response to the introduction of the topographic depression causes patterns of warming and cooling by up to 4 C (7.2 F) around the Northern Hemisphere. ”

swannie…”Gordo continues his semantic confusion, insisting that a system can only exhibit amplification when there is an
amplifier which adds energy within said system. He ignores two processes within the climate system which produce positive feedback, that is to say, their effects increase as temperature increases. The highly non-linear water vapor feedback is one such process, another is the snow and ice albedo feedback.
Gordo doesnt do science, so he cant think outside his electrical world box”

Hate to tell you this, Swannie, but engineering is classified officially as Applied Science. In order to apply science, you must first learn science. That’s what we do, we learn it then we apply it. Others, like climate alarmists, get caught in thought experiments then by consensus, agree they must be right.
In the Earth system, there is one input, solar energy. In order for PF to operate in this system, it must add to the solar energy to cause an amplification of heat, which requires a heat amplifier. The processes you describe do not add heat, they recirculate it, or block it, which is negative feedback if anything.
Furthermore, such a system requires an output from which to feed energy back to the Sun, to increase its output. If you have such a method, please advise. An increasing effect is not feedback in the context of Hansen’s tipping point theory. Hansen is talking about an amplification of heat. Where would that extra heat come from?
Albedo simply reduces the amount of EM absorbed from the Sun. Again, not PF.
Any warming experienced on Earth has been a rebound from cooling. Somehow, solar energy was reduced, the planet cooled, and when the cooling condition was removed, the planet warmed. That’s what the current warming hysteria is about.
” Hansen is talking about an amplification of heat. Where would that extra heat come from? ”
It is heat which enters the system and is then prevented from leaving.
bob d…”When Jimmy put his guitar near his amp, the output of the amp caused both the strings to vibrate more, as well as directly causing the pickups to increase their output. This makes the amp produce more sound.
Increase the temperature of the Earth, then there is more water vapor in the atmosphere which increases the GHE, which makes more water vapor in the atmosphere, which increases the temperature of the Earth.
And so on and so on”.
***
and scoobie, doobie, do won
An amp cannot produce more sound power than it is designed to produce. A more powerful amp requires a more powerful power supply and when the P/S can deliver no more current, the output is limited.
The feedback squeal that pierces one’s ears happens at a specific frequency. So, a lot of power can be emitted at one frequency. That can be compensated, or eliminated, using an equalizer set to attenuate the feedback frequency.
Jimmy’s guitar and amp work as I described. The vibrating string is sensed by a pickup and provides an input signal to the amp. The amp amplifies the signal and the speaker emits it as an amplified sound pressure wave. If the guitar string is close enough to the speaker, the sound pressure wave acts as a positive feedback from the speaker, adding to the string vibration and that raises the level of the input signal. It gets re-amplified and each iteration the output signal increases as does the feedback signal.

How does one go about increasing the temperature of the Earth without increasing the output of the Sun, or cooling the Earth first? If the Earth has stabilized at 15C, based on a certain solar input, how does one add heat to raise the temperature from 15C? Where does that heat come from?
If you could trap heat, like a greenhouse traps it, the average temp should rise. But a greenhouse does that by trapping molecules of air behind glass.
The current GHE and AGW theories are wrong in that they think trapping a small amount of surface radiation is akin to trapping heat. That’s wrong, the only way to trap heat is by trapping air molecules. Since the heat involved in creating IR is lost as the IR is created, the small amount of IR trapped by GHGs is not related to surface cooling or trapped heat.
The atmosphere cannot trap heat, nor can the small amount of trapped IR, converted to heat, be returned to the surface to heat the surface.
