Climate Feedbacks

Dr Ben Booth, Climate Scientist at the Met Office, explains what climate feedbacks are and how they play a role in global warming. Find out more by visiting the Met Office Climate Change website at http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climatechange/science/explained/feedbacks.html

Feed back loops have been disproven ..oh really ..actually they are being studied in depth only recently ....and are proving to be quite real ...and possibily occur quite faster than first realized.But if you listen to the likes of this Lord Monckton (lied about his credentials and is a payed mouth piece for climate denial) I can see where you get that notion from.Am not out to argue with you deniers as it is pointless.But at what point will you admit to some human caused climate change.

@DaveG37 Hahaha, "send it to the MetOffice" Do you mean the Met Office London, the same organisation that got ridiculed in the Broadsheets earlier last year for CONSISTANTLY and INCORRECTLY predicting for the last NINE years in a row, "this year will be the hottest ever", when every one of those years has been proved to have been progressively cooler. That is from an Ipcc report.

[herculese220]

@DaveG37 The Ipcc has been ridiculed by their own "data" collection methods, and peer review process, all the e-mails from climate-gate were admitted in the enquiry, which was a white-wash anyway.

@DaveG37 The 'Psuedo-science' is Ecology, and more narrowly, Anthropogenic Global Warming. I only believe real scientists, with small bank accounts, and no connections to the Crazy-Lefty-Elitist-Foundation­s, who have been spouting off that "man is the enemy of the planet", ever since the scientificly ridiculed Paul Ehrlich started writing books about Nazi-style mandatory sterilization and various other eugenics techniques in the 70's.

@coltrane1966 But thats total nonsense- do surely don't believe that nonsense do you? See IPCC Working group 1 report- physical science- to easily refute what you are saying...

[DaveG37]

@erHotWAXX2 Um do you think your diddy chemistry will stand up to scrutiny? if so, send it to the MetOffice and let them correct you...

[DaveG37]

@herculese220 You don't really believe that pseuod-science and 4th hand rubbish you read on web-sites do you? Not sure if you're joking or just complacent to the point of absurdity...

[herculese220]

@DeadlyV1RU5 blah blah blah.... It's all Baloney, it's to confuse the Issue. Man-made global warming, is a political-agenda, to take over the global economy with the United Nations.

@herculese220 Christopher Monckton has never written a peer-reviewed paper on anything. If you are referring to his "Climate Sensitivity Reconsidered" paper, that was published in the Bulletin of the American Physical Society, a non-peer-reviewed newsletter of sorts. It was also promptly ripped apart by RealClimate as soon as it was published. If he had submitted it to a peer-reviewed journal, the mistakes would have been spotted and the paper rejected.

[herculese220]

Feedbacks, and the whole concept of feedbacks, has been proved irrelevent, to natural climate change, and even in the preposterous theory of "Man-made global Warming", the Lord Christopher Monckton has written a peer-reviewed paper on it. These climate propagandist-confusers are laughable.
