Less clouds warms the oceans, which in turn warms the earth.
Because life flourished on earth with much higher CO2 concentration than now. If there was a runaway positive feedback event in the past like you are fearmongering about today, we would have already burnt to a crisp. Negative feedbacks prevent that from happening.Why does that matter.
What point still stands?
GHG have very little to no affect on the glacial or interglacial periods...... if clouds magically balanced climate then how would the Earth have glacial periods?
The orbital variation is the trigger but the change in solar insolation is a rounding error... orders of magnitude too small for a 10C swing. Think you can tell me which non-condensible GHG changes in concentration?

If you think all scientists and engineers are singing from the same human-caused global warming hymn, you are flat-out wrong!![]()
Climate Change Denial
I assume these are insults. Doesn’t work mate, I’m not from your parts and don’t start spluttering spittle on my keyboard at the mention of ‘liberals’ or ‘conservatives’. Sorry. I am simply pointing out that comparing the issue of cigarettes to fossil fuels makes no sense at all.teslamotorsclub.com
To repeat....
Except you dont prefer engineers and scientists, since these are the very people saying global warming is real, and is caused by man-made emissions from fossil fuels. And you incessantly pepper your replies with pejorative assertions about others having a political agenda when they are simply making factual arguments. In fact, it is you who are ignoring the scientists, and you who are advancing a political agenda, which is the total opposite of your claim.
If you think all scientists and engineers are singing from the same human-caused global warming hymn, you are flat-out wrong!
I already told you that you are making a mountain out of the "non-condensable (condensible as you say) GHG" molehill. CO2 is a minor GHG.You're making assumptions in contradiction to all available evidence.
..... so what causes them? Not the trigger.... the driver. What changes to cause the atmosphere to retain so much more heat?
I answered your question. Why can't you answer mine? Think you can tell me which non-condensible GHG changes in concentration?

You bought that stupid-ass John Cook Skeptical Science Crap? Allow me to present to you where that 97% bullcrap study came from.~97% do. And the other ~3% have no alternative explanation for the ovservations. Like why is Venus hotter than Mercury, what drives glacial periods and why is the ocean accumulating ~2E22J/yr of additional heat.

The Truth about Skeptical Science

CO2 follows temperature, not lead it. Right now the Milankovitch Cycles is a strong theory why we have 100,000 year glacial periods.ok.... so answer the questions....

So you agree the oceans are warming.You have your head fixed on land. You are forgetting most of the earth's surface is ocean. There is not a one to one correspondence between short-wave radiation coming into the ocean vs. long-wave radiation going out. Less clouds warms the oceans, which in turn warms the earth.
1. Nothing.Or... 100% of professional organizations and accredited universities if you prefer a more symmetric number
What changes occur that drive inter-glacial periods?
Why are you dodging?
Simple questions. Why do you keep dodging them?
- What prevents heat from radiating directly from the surface into Space?
- Water Vapor? Ok.... water vapor is a feedback... not a forcing. What's the forcing agent keeping the atmosphere warm enough for water vapor?
- The radiative forcing of CO2 is minor? Ok... how minor? 1w/m^2? 1.2? 1.5? What's the measurement?
Getting a little closer to the sun, something on the order of 94,000,000 miles to 92,000,000 miles.Ovviously it does initially. It's not the trigger. What changes to drive a warmer climate after a glacial period? Milankovitch Cycles explain the trigger, not the driver. Those orbital cycles are ~100x too small to drive a 10C swing in temperature. What. Changes?
The oceans were warming. They appear to be starting a cooling trend now.So you agree the oceans are warming.

Oh you mean like the Permian extinction event where 90+% of living things died because magmatism burned through the Siberian traps coal and sedimentary deposits releasing massive amount of greenhouse gases and raising sea surface temperatures by ~10C and acidifying the ocean?Because life flourished on earth with much higher CO2 concentration than now. If there was a runaway positive feedback event in the past like you are fearmongering about today, we would have already burnt to a crisp. Negative feedbacks prevent that from happening.
