I see I made some errors, mostly spelling in my previous post. I will correct it, and elaborate in blue:
You made more than spelling errors.
Lord of Planar said:You read into my words with your confirmation bias.
No... that actually is what you are doing.
Lord of Planar said:It is both. The albedo of ice decreases with age. Aerosols also affect it. It is both. One again, you, a champion of the dogma, failing to see it is both. You chose albedo as being a sign of natural and unnatural changes, which it is, but refuse to acknowledge it is decreased farther by aerosols.
Don't you see how complicated this field is? You can't reduce it down like your pundits say, and claim one view without acknowledging the other, and maintain any integrity for the truth. Refusing to talk about the inconvenient facts shows you are one to be ignored, along with anyone else who denies the inconvenient science aspects.
What the heck are you talking about? I didn't say anything that even suggests that I don't understand that black carbon is an important factor in how well the surface absorbs solar radiation. To suggest that I said anything like that is a good reason to ignore intellectually dishonest people like you.
Lord of Planar said:The capacity for heat transfer between the air and ice is very small compared to radiant absorption. Aerosol increases by man increase the heat absorbed by radiant energy by a significant amount, like 5% to 20% and greater, above natural albedo changes.
You're missing the point. The reason that albedo has been changing so much has more to do with ice and snow becoming darker due to the melting than with how much soot is on the surface. And I have seen studies that confirm this fact.
You, on the other hand... believe that soot is the larger factor. Problem is... as far as I have seen you are completely unable to back this up.
