Climate Change is a Hoax

Global temps have not been 1.5C above the current range base.

That's above 1850.  The baseline is the average from 1951 to 1980.  The 2016 temp was 1.01C above the baseline.

Do you say these things just to get my goat, or do you really not know?

Well then you are baking in natural  warming that doesn't have anything to do with AGW.

Nearly all the warming ascribed to "global warming" has occurred since 1907.  1850 was chosen because it was far enough back that its temps could be considered "natural."  Also, because 1850 is considered the last year of the Little Ice Age.

I think I've said that about 20 times by now.  Are you reading anything I post?

What's your source for 1907?

http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/tabledata_v3/GLB.Ts+dSST.txt

Actually, 1904 was colder at -0.50.  So were 1909 and 1911 at -0.46.  Various sources give the year as anywhere from 1907 to 1910.  I guess it depends on whose dataset you're looking at.

Again based on what? You are looking at Temp anomalies and saying "Oh looks like AGW kicked in here to me."

See Post 3076.  And this time, READ it.

You know, when the text is all blue after a citation, you generally can click on the blue text.  Who knows.  Maybe it'll lead to a source.

Incredible, I know.

Then you can quote the part of the Paper that answers my question? Please do so.

I don't know what your question is. And anyway, all I can expect from you is a bad faith argument from ignorance.

If your question is why 1907...I'd advise you to look at the inflection point on the graphs. If you can read graphs. Evidence suggests not.

That is the same flawed logic Doug used. As I told him you can not look at temperatures and say where AGW started. AND, 1907 is NOT when the Climate community at large tends to think this began.

So it was a bad faith question. You should check what doug actually said again.

I think you should make it clear what you are trying to say Sir.

I saw/read exactly what Doug said here. 

Also I have no "bad faith" in anything. I know that is some liberal code now but to the rest of us it doesn't mean anything.

Settle down a bit.  Where is YOUR common sense here?  You respond to  "unicorn world" with "monster under the bed world".   

There is a path to follow using  technology and science that does not result in  pie in the sky or  hand wringing 

It is about cost and development and alternatives.  Do you really think natural gas and coal fired turbines require no maintenance?  The company I work for has one whole casting plant that makes thousands of replacement blades for land based power generating turbines every year..  They have to be shut down and overhauled because the hot exhaust gases are corrosive.  In a coal plant they also carry abrasive  ash particles.

The things that you say can go wrong indeed might go wrong.  There is a probability and a cost one can assign to each of those events.  There are also pipeline leaks and coal train wrecks and dams silting up, and nuclear accidents.  There is no trouble free life for us.   It is just a matter of comparing costs and risks.

True, but l would rather have a gas electrical plant covering a relatively small area, catch on fire, than 20 km's of wind turbines, on fire, falling apart, slaghtering eagles and other birds, (the bird catches the worm, lol) p****ing off local's and throwing the natural beauty idea.

That's just plain BS.  I have several wind farms within 40 miles of me.  All I have to do is drive along the roads and count them.  One wind turbine per 40 acres - exactly the same as oil and has wells.  Each one generating 225 kv.  Each one generating 1.5 to 3 Megawatts. 800 turbines in just one wind farm.  31 wind farms in the state.  At least 1500 turbines in Oklahoma alone.  At $3 million per turbine.  The big power companies don't believe it either.

You may not be aware of the American public land survey system.  The whole state is surveyed into sections, ome mile on a side.  Roads are usually run right down the section line.  There are 16 "forties" in a section.  You can drive completely around the section, see every windmill on it and count them:  one windmill to forty acres.

While I'n thinking of it:  a gas well in Oklahoma costs about $3 million to drill - the same as one wind turbine.  The wind turbine has a life expectancy of 25 to 30 years with power production pretty-much steady during that time.

The gas well produces most of its gas in the first few months, then production drops off, following a decay curve.  At twenty years most wells are capped because they can't produce commercial quantities of either oil or gas any more.  How do I know this:  I used to own a producing gas well.

That's BS you mean,....never mind.

You will have to give the CCC crowd a break, l threw them a curve ball with the wind turbine one, and the insults are flying.

I don't see why considering that AU and the US have hundreds of years of gas, and Australia could shut down all of their coal fired power stations and replace them with up to 400 years worth of natural gas, supplying all of our country.

I didn't say it was a liberal code.  You did. 

Bad faith is actually more of a legal term of art. Functionally, it means that you aren't interested in a discussion of facts, and ignore whatever people say that you can't twist into some fantastical version of reality.

How so? I've asked you before to explain yourself and you haven't and now you claim to know my motives? 

Whatever dude. That's funny. Truely.

Huh, there it is.

No, see, I don't claim to know your motives. Just pointing out your actions.

I'm sorry bout that. LOL. Guess the Devil just made my body do it and bypassed my consciousness completely.

What was it I did again?
