Global Cooling Is Under Way

Water vapor DOES have an impact.

Greenhouse gas - Wikipedia

There's a nice little table there under "Impacts on the overall greenhouse effect"

H2O contributes 36%-72% of greenhouse gases.
CO2 contributes 9%-26% of greenhouse gases.

Under "Global warming potential" there's an even more important table

CO2 has a lifetime of 30-95 years
Methane has a lifetime of 12 years. However it is 84 times stronger as a greenhouse gas in a 20 year period. Over a 100 year period this goes down to 28 times stronger and so on.


Different gases have different properties and appear in different concentrations and have different strengths.

OMG... You too?

Please read this part of his reply slowly: "apparently has absolutely no effect at all in your world?"
 
He's not talking science either, science isn't settled by committee.

That is correct, it advances on REPRODUCIBLE research, not unverifiable modeling constructs with often laughable prediction claims built in, with those unverifiable laughably large temperature projection spreads the media and warmists cry over. The ones the Media misleads the public every day, the same garbage warmists drool over.

The IPCC way is highly selective Meta Analysis approach, where their unfalsifiable modeling claims are praised, while good reproducible science suffers, that is why warmists when confronted with real evidence that contradicts their modeled belief system, they fall back on the ad homs, consensus, big oil funding, attack blogs or rarely, make threats replies. It is all they have left when their modeled science delusions are exposed, it is why debate with them are short lived and silly.

That is the way of Pseudoscience, it is the way political propaganda runs, it is the way unscientific delusions develop.

You haven't actually written anything worth replying to.
 
...The total down-forcing between clouds and greenhouse gasses is around 333 W/m^2...
The model shown adds and subtracts all the different heat flows to come up w/ the final "net absorbed 0.9 W/m^2. That 0.9 number is the entire basis for the AGW argument. The only way to support the 0.9 number is by knowing that we have 333.0W/m^2, yet your saying it's "around 333.W/m^2.

Pse share your thoughts on this, does the model support AGW or doesn't it?

Absolutely wrong.

The various imbalance numbers are calculated by the assumed heat the earth gains. The models are then adjusted to show those numbers.

I see you have never read any of the energy balance studies, yet you claim to know...
 
...imbalance numbers are calculated by the assumed heat the earth gains. The models are then adjusted to show those numbers...
That's exactly how it appeared to me too. Heat flows are not measurements as they appear to be at first glance, but they are rather mere assumed constructs that are presented for the purpose of supporting the preferred model. During the fitting-together process, the heat flow numbers are then adjusted as needed to further 'prove' the model's premise. It's how science becomes settled science.

All this is the reverse of how most previous scientific models have been developed in the past. Those had begun w/ observed measurements which in turn led to theories that were modeled so as to point out where further research was needed.
 
It looks like the 2019 El Nino may have been inhibited by the Sun's approach to minimum.

CO2, GLOBAL WARMING, CLIMATE AND ENERGY

CO2, GLOBAL WARMING, CLIMATE AND ENERGY by Allan M.R. MacRae, B.A.Sc., M.Eng., P.Eng., June 2019 ABSTRACT Global warming alarmism, which falsely assumes that increasing atmospheric CO2 causes catastrophic global warming, is disproved – essentially, it assumes that the future is causing the past. In reality, atmospheric CO2 changes lag global temperature changes at all measured…

[FONT=&quot]“If [as we believe] solar activity is the main driver of surface temperature rather than CO2, we should begin the next cooling period by 2020 to 2030.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I will stand with this prediction – for moderate, natural cooling, similar to that which occurred from ~1940 to the Great Pacific Climate Shift of 1977, despite accelerating fossil fuel combustion and atmospheric CO2. Similar cooling occurred from ~1945 to 1977 as fossil fuel consumption accelerated.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I now think global cooling will start closer to 2020. The following plot explains why (Fig.10).[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I hope to be wrong, because humanity and the environment suffer during cold periods. . . . [/FONT]

 
LOL.

I love how you guys criticize the IPCC for having economists contribute. They do that appropriately, because they quantify the economic impact of AGW.

But the deniers here won’t say a peep about economists interpreting global temperature data in the above article.

Strawman. Please cite any post of mine criticizing the IPCC for having economists contribute. Hint: You can't because there isn't one.
The problem with economists quantifying "the economic impact of AGW" is not that they're economists but that they're working on an imaginary problem.
Meanwhile, economists can provide a real contribution because they are often skilled statisticians, and too many climate scientists are blundering sorcerers' apprentices in handling statistics.

Of course not.

You just cut and paste so you can have plausible deniability.

Other deniers will just ignore this.

I'm not sure why you think I would need deniability, plausible or otherwise. The fact is that no post of mine has criticized the inclusion of economists in IPCC work, either in my own words or someone else's.
 


LOL

Yet another unlinked graph of no interest. It does, however, show the right sequence: hiatus, El Nino, cooling. Meanwhile:

[h=2]Abstract[/h]What transpires from recent research is that temperatures and radiative forcing seem to be characterized by a linear trend with two changes in the rate of growth. The first occurs in the early 60s and indicates a very large increase in the rate of growth of both temperature and radiative forcing series. This was termed as the “onset of sustained global warming”. The second is related to the more recent so-called hiatus period, which suggests that temperatures and total radiative forcing have increased less rapidly since the mid-90s compared to the larger rate of increase from 1960 to 1990. There are two issues that remain unresolved. The first is whether the breaks in the slope of the trend functions of temperatures and radiative forcing are common. This is important because common breaks coupled with the basic science of climate change would strongly suggest a causal effect from anthropogenic factors to temperatures. The second issue relates to establishing formally via a proper testing procedure that takes into account the noise in the series, whether there was indeed a ‘hiatus period’ for temperatures since the mid 90s. This is important because such a test would counter the widely held view that the hiatus is the product of natural internal variability. Our paper provides tests related to both issues. The results show that the breaks in temperatures and radiative forcing are common and that the hiatus is characterized by a significant decrease in their rate of growth. The statistical results are of independent interest and applicable more generally.

The Setup is like 1315

Guest Commentary by David Archibald The area planted for corn and soybeans this season is well below historic averages. This was mostly due to waterlogged fields and flooding which precluded planting. The planting windows for corn and soybeans are now closed. The USDA crop progress reports provide weekly updates by state. For example this is…

[FONT=&quot]. . . What is happening in the Corn Belt is a mini version of the transition from the Medieval Warm Period to the Little Ice Age. The population of Europe exploded in benign conditions of the Medieval Warm Period from 1000 AD to 1300 AD, reaching population levels that weren’t matched again until the 19th century. In fact parts of rural France have less population today than at the beginning of the 14th century.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The breakover from the Medieval Warm Period to the Little Ice Age in Europe had sustained periods of bad weather characterised by severe winters and rainy and cold summers. The Great Famine of 1315 – 1317 started with bad weather in the spring of 1315. Crop failures lasted through 1316 until the summer of 1317. The population decline over the two years is thought to be about 10%, associated with “extreme levels of crime, disease, mass death, cannibalism and infanticide.” These conditions may be less in the Mormons amongst us who are instructed to keep one year’s worth of food in stock.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The Modern Warm Period ended in 2006. Current solar activity is back to levels of the Little Ice Age. To paraphrase Santayana, those who don’t remember history are condemned to being surprised and unprepared when it repeats itself. . . . [/FONT]

The linear warming trend since January, 1979 remains at +0.13 C/decade.

It's looking increasingly obvious that your predictions that cooling had started were merely wishful thinking. The upward trend continues.
