Nothing about AGW.

Just some speculative 'where's my thesaurus for hyperbolic adjectives' kvetching.

The climate is changing, it is evident.  I don't think it has ever been static.

I just don't think humans are changing it. 


And this Mothraesque idiocy of 'are you afraid of change' trope - too stupid. YOU mongs are terrified of change, YOU mongs want to live in a static, unchanging world where everything is exactly as it was, forever - except, of course, socially and culturally where you want change, no matter how ludicrous and moronic, and the faster the better.

As I pointed out already, you'd own OP says no thing about AGW. It is something you just append to things because you believe in it like someone believes in the gods or clockwork universe.

UAH6 through to March:

For those who don’t want to admit CO2 is a climate driver consider this:

1. A cycle of major ice ages and interglacials started 800,000 years ago. The cycle is driven by the Milankovitch Cycle which includes perturbations to the earths orbit, inclination, precession of the equinoxes etc. This would have been happening since the solar system established but the ice ages didn’t follow until the drop in CO2.

2. CO2 is a trace gas! Well, in terms of composition of the atmosphere that is true, CO2 is 0.0424% of gases in the atmosphere. Let us consider the three main gases, nitrogen, oxygen and argon. These absorb some of the visible light that reaches us from the sun, moderating the warmth on the surface. These three gases, N2, O2, Ar do NOT absorb infrared, IR, particularly the far IR. CO2 DOES absorb IR, spreading the energy from doing so to, mainly, N2 molecules. These move faster—the gas is warmer.

3. As IR is absorbed and turned into heat in the troposphere there is less heat reaching the stratosphere which cools. The GHGs, incl traces of water vapor, emit IR to space, cooling the atmosphere—but as the stratosphere cools less emissions happen and warming continues.

4. Look at the temperature series—they all show the rise in temperature including the series from Berkeley Earth Sciences Team who graphed using the raw, unhomogenised data and got a strikingly similar graph to the other series.

If you don’t want to admit we are warming the planet you have to show what IS warming the planet because warming it is, both terrestrial and satellite series show that.

The sun is more active since the current cycle, SC25 started. SC24 was the lowest cycle since the 1980s—yet we warmed. Now we seem to be warming again and the sun is at brightness levels not seen since SC23.

However, the fluctuations of the sun are extremely small, maybe moving from 1362 to 1362.5 or a bit over 1363. Convert the change to percentages and the increase in brightness is tiny. Then we do not get all the light so the insolation. at the surface does not change by the full amount of that tiny increase.

So, it is not the sun.

What else? Come on, AGW is rubbish you say—so what is causing the rapid warming we are experiencing?
