Climate Change Denial

Hey, has anybody ever bothered to check the current temperature of the earth? It is also known as the global mean temperature anomaly. As of March 2021, the earth's lower tropospheric temperature stands at -0.01 deg. C below the 1991-2020 global mean. In other words, the temperature of the earth is normal within the past 30 years. Does anybody actually believe this is going to lead to a climate catastrophe?
Disagree

This is the temperature DEVIATION in last CENTURY. More than One degree of increase in the last CENTURY.
 
The point is that people say the earth has been hotter/colder in the past, which misses the fact that most changes happen gradually over time, allowing plants and animals to gradually adapt to the changes. Faster rates of change don't provide that luxury.

Yep, love to hear this same argument after we colonize Mars. "But Mars had varying level of atmosphere throughout its history." LOL
 
Post link? BTW, yes, in the winter, temp trend to decline.
The data comes from Dr. Roy Spencer web site.


The parameter measured is the global mean temperature anomaly - not actual seasonal temperatures. Scroll down to the 2nd blog for the March data. The 1st blog, Dr. Spencer compares computer models to temperature departures from the 1979-1983 average. You can see the tick downward for both the lower tropospheric and the ocean temperatures.

LOL! And Nicotine isn't addictive.... right?

 
Wait... you suggested earlier the Earth wasn't warming. Again... if it's not warming then why is sea level rising? And why is the rate if rise accelerating? It's not Ice melt. Ice melt can only account for ~10% of the rise.
This is the reason why the sea level is rising. We are still in the Holocene interglacial period according to Greenland ice core data.


You can see the sharp temperature rise at 11,000 years before present. We just came out of our last 100,000 year long glacial period then. You can see the temperature fluctuations during the Holocene. The sea level has varied with these temperature spikes and declines. The net result has been a 400 foot rise in sea level since the ending of the last glaciation.

Quick web search got me this... "After 10 years of stubbornly repeating and doubling down on a series of errors, they both finally admitted they had been in error. (and see also here)"


Just because someone has the PhD does not mean their research is truthful. Dr. Z here mentions a former doctor who is now an anti-vaxxer and is claiming that the vaccine somehow causes other women to become infertile or some crap like that. Apparently, a private school in FL believed her. I guess it's easier to make money fooling dumb people than saving lives.

ooooookaaaaaay ....... what exactly about that is causing sea levels to rise? An interglacial ends and sea levels 'magically' rise? Caused by what? For the second time we know how much Ice is melting... it's an order of magnitude lower than the increase in sea level.

So.... what's responsible for the other 90%? What mechanism? What is the physical cause?

Maybe he can get a law degree and be a defense attorney for DJT... he's got the ability to twist facts to whatever angle pays the most. Sure it looks bad that Stormy Daniels received $130k Daniel Dennison... but maybe there's a perfectly innocent explanation no one is aware of.

Sure it looks bad that the ~exact amount of thermal energy predicted by climate models has been measured in the deep oceans.... but maybe there's a perfectly natural explanation no one is aware of.

So he is calling us "boiling frogs"? LOL

If you think Dr. Roy Spencer is a crappy scientist, then why does the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration still use his data - and why does NASA still fund his research? Have a look:


Also, why would NASA award Dr. John Christy and Dr. Roy Spencer for Great Scientific Achievement in 1991 for their development of measuring global temperature from satellites?


Think before you spout off rubbish from a source of ignorance.

Here is the NASA Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal page. Look at 1991. There they are - Roy Spencer and John Christy.


There now. Are you feeling silly for slandering a quality atmospheric scientist?

The fundamental reason why the sea level has risen during the past 12,000 years is because we've come out of the most recent glaciation or ice age as some call it. The interglacial periods are warmer than the glacial ones. That is why sea level rises during the interglacial. The current Holocene is actually a relatively mild interglacial. During the previous interglacial over 100,000 years ago, sea levels were 20 meters higher than they are today. And there were no pickup trucks and SUVs around back then to cause that!

??? What's your point? Because someone was 'quality' 30 years ago they're still 'quality' today?

Counter-point; Look want can happen in just 20 years...

The primary driver of the warming was still CO2. You don't need trucks and SUVs to increase atmospheric CO2. The source back then was a slightly warmer ocean. Warmer water holds less gas => more CO2 ends up in the atmosphere driving more warming until a new equilibrium is reached.

This is the problem with working backwards from an ideologically formed conclusion and molesting reality to fit it... you have to then find other explanations for things that are already well explained but what you're attempting to unweave. CO2 doesn't cause warming? Ok.... explain what thaws the Earth after an Ice Age.... rising CO2 levels is the only plausible explanation.
