CyberKen Posted September 17, 2013 #351 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) That's wrong for obvious reasons. Otherwise, this thread should be about warming in the U.S. http://www.slate.com..._abundance.html http://shalebubble.org/ http://www.theguardi...economic-crisis http://www.technolog...y-independence/ According to the IEA, at best global oil and gas production will increase by 9 pct during the next two decades, but for the economy to grow demand has to go up by 2 pct a year, just as it did the last three decades. Also, the 9-pct increase can take place only at maximum depletion rates, which will require oil companies to produce at lower profits, which is something that does not normally take place. According to the data, it's not: http://www.skeptical...tor-part-1.html That's odd. If the Earth is warming then why is the Arctic Ice increasing by 60%? According to you, the Earth should be transforming into Waterworld starring Kevin Costner. It's not! You are starting to sound like Baghdad Bob over in Iraq. "There are no American tanks in Baghdad."

RavenHawk Posted September 17, 2013 #352 Share Posted September 17, 2013 You should try reading the caption on the graph you posted - it doesn't support your position. whats critical is that you understands the meaning of the error bar A climate trend is statistically meaningful over a period of 30 years, so your statement regarding the trend is statistically meaningless. That was sort of the point. Even 30 years is not enough. That was Carter’s point. 1880 – 1910 shows a downward tick but that comes in just the 10 years between 1900 to 1910. 1910 – 1930 shows an upward tick. 1940 – 1970 shows stasis. 1970 – 2000 shows a markedly upward tick. So what is climate doing? Is Man causing this? I don’t think you can make that judgment. It is not conclusive. I really don’t think that the error bar means that much here. As I’ve said before, it is too soon to know if temp is rising or falling but what is obvious is an uncharacteristic peak according to AGW. AGW says that there shouldn’t be such a broad peak. My prediction is that we will begin to see a pattern like the 1900s or 1940s. The 2010s will see a drop. The 2020s may see another rise but this disproves the unrelenting increase of AGW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenHawk Posted September 17, 2013 #353 Share Posted September 17, 2013 What is wrong with WSJ? The data is from an advanced reading of the IPCCs document. I guess Frank read the article – I haven’t seen a reply yet. So we are all waiting for the 27th to come around. I can’t wait to see how the AGW apologists squirm to spin this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it seems all reporters do this, probably unconsciously because it is always denied And the IPCC is liberal. It still doesn’t change the fact that the IPCC is dialing back on the doom and gloom prophecy. They are going to spin it that it isn’t that big of a deal, that they just miscalculated a little. Well, they sure did miscalculate. They will come short of saying that AGW doesn’t exist. Man is not the cause but perhaps Man is kicking climate in the side a bit. In the end, the AGW apologists will claim that this is what they meant in the first place and that they were just misunderstood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are so disingenuous. You’re the one touting that 30 years are needed for any meaningful trend. Well, I selected several 30 year periods and you call it straw man. You are full of it.

It’s not me that doesn’t understand the scientific method. I’ve been bringing it up over and over again. That is what Carter was stating using cores. The IPCC overreacted and got caught up in their own fear mongering. The purpose of the IPCC is to report the science - good or bad. That’s not what they were doing. Even you were doing it. Climate science is a piece of predictive human wisdom telling us its not to late to stop destroying the ecosystem, we ignore it at our peril. That is not science. That is emotion. All the science tells us is that climate changes and Man attempts to predict that change. It does not make moral judgments. When it does, it then gets painted into a corner like now. The IPCC will be publishing an updated model using science that will say that things just weren’t as bad as originally thought, which should kill any vestige of AGW. That is if the IPCC has a solid foundation in science, it will. But let’s wait for the 27th. We’ll see if it sticks to science or continues being a political tool?

Its a simple fact that if you do one thing it has consequences. Science predicts those consequences, in relation to climate, in as factual a way as possible and then tells us what might be done to avoid them. Those are cold hard facts - not emotions. it is the political right who have been indulging in emotional fear mongering, not the climate scientists. The same tactics are been used as those which were used to defend the "safety" of smoking - and the same libertarian think tanks are doing it.

That was Carter's point. 150 years is the period of AGW so looking at a 1000yrs cannot disprove it since it falls outside of the period of influence. The critically important fact which you and Carter fail to explain is what is causing the climate to change. No change comes without a cause and for such a dramatic upturn of temperatures out of the blue to happen it needs a strong explanation. Simply repeating the tired mantra of "Natural cycles" without identifying what they are simply doesn't cut it. Its invoking magical thinking - invoking the Gods. Every single climate change event has an identifiable cause. Br Cornelius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
