the earth had higher co2 and had lower temperatures in the past. The earth is coming out of the little ice age and has been warming for 150 years how do you account for that warming there wasn't any significant rise in co2 until the last 130years so why the warming? What a pair of dumb eggheads its been warming we don't really know why, must be co2 that's not science, that's junk science

@vmgqie

my friend, you are the most useful kind of troll. please keep serving them up.

"higher co2 / lower temps"

[vmgqie]

@greenman3610 how do you explain warming from 1850 to 1950 co2 had not increased any significant amount explain it and don't give me some bogus reference

[greenman3610]

@vmgqie

ok, I'll just tell you. Increased solar activity, some contribution from co2 increases, less volcanism.

Small correction needed on the graphic showing the Troposphere and Stratosphere... The thunderstorm characteristic anvil-shaped top indicates the top of the Troposphere, because it's pushing the Tropopause up slightly. That's the best indicator of the top of the Troposphere. The separating line in the graphic is way too high.

@rchuso

got it, thanks! unfortunately cannot change this vid, but will do so going forward.

[greenman3610]

@gukonni

Right. Thinking is so hard. You've hit on a much easier formula.

Did they find those WMDs yet?

[gunglegym]

@david222444 Wrong again. The we have records of solar activity that are well documented for the past 40 years, and reasonably well documented going back to the 1700's (sunspot measurements). None of them show any significant changes in solar output.

You think that somehow for the past 100 years thousands of scientists in dozens of countries have manipulated hundreds of independent data sets so they all say the same thing? Nice, did you learn that while hunting bigfoot?

[vmgqie]

@greenman3610 less volcanism, ever heard of krakatoa 1883 to name just one. Try no contribution from co2. The only one I can agree is the sun and the sun is still driving temperature rise now Google Dr Sami Solaki of Max Plank Institute For Solar Systems and please don't abuse him disproving Man Made global warming you green alarmist nazi monkey

Fair is fair.....Santer et al. is simply discredited due to this lack of respect for the new era of Climategate-style research. Santer needs to apologize to the previous research authors for this gross lack of scientific research rigor, and he could also finally apologize for threatening another climate scientist with violent harm while off his meds. ;-)

[MrOTLChamp]

New Santer et al. Paper Totally Discredited - Santer Ignores Prior, Pivotal Peer Reviewed Research The violence-prone and globally discredited Ben Santer has Climategate friends (Kevin Trenberth and Andy Dessler) who recently claimed that the Spencer and Braswell 2011 study is invalid because it did not include prior research to their liking.
