Climate Denial Crock of the Week - The "Temp leads Carbon" Crock

'Piers Corbyn who can predict the climate up to 12 months into the future using the principles of physics applied to the predictable solar output of the sun, his climate predictions are 85% accurate' - if true the secretive Corbyn would be 85% accurate with his bets.

Surprisingly, Corbyn seems incredibly reluctant to take easy money.

I suspect that his claims are not based upon reality.

"If there's something stupid to believe, there is someone on the internet who believes it."

And you believe the "great global warming swindle" is a reliable source!

If you had a brain and had asked Dr. Google, you would have found this:

If you read this, you will find a detailed list of deceits and bogus claims made.

Thanks , Vanderbilt for some well supported thoughts. I also rely on real climate for understanding climate science. These films put more nails into the coffins of deniers.

documentary for sure.

How can anyone give less than 5 stars? This is terrific stuff. Love the tone too. Very respectful. This is how the debate will ultimately be won. Greenman, you should consider a TV series, or a documentary.

Yes it does. According to laboratory measurements and radiative physics, we expect that increasing atmospheric CO2 should absorb more longwave radiation as it escapes back out to space. In 1970, NASA launched the IRIS satellite measuring infrared spectra. In 1996, the Japanese Space Agency launched the IMG satellite which recorded similar observations. What they found was a drop in outgoing radiation at the wavelength bands that greenhouse gases such as CO2 and methane (CH4) absorb energy. The

change in outgoing radiation over CO2 bands was consistent with theoretical expectations. Thus the paper found "direct experimental evidence for a significant increase in the Earth's greenhouse effect". What happens to longwave radiation that gets absorbed by greenhouse gases? The energy heats the atmosphere which in turn re-radiates longwave radiation. This re-radiated energy goes in all directions. Some of it makes its way back to the surface of the earth. Hence we expect to find increasing

downward longwave radiation as CO2 levels increase.

Philipona 2004 finds that this is indeed the case - that downward longwave radiation is increasing due to an enhanced greenhouse effect. Evans 2006 takes this analysis further. By analysing high resolution spectral data, the increase in downward radiation can be quantitatively attributed to each of several anthropogenic gases. The results lead the authors to conclude that "this experimental data should effectively end the argument by

skeptics that no experimental evidence exists for the connection between greenhouse gas increases in the atmosphere and global warming." Satellites measure less infrared radiation escaping out to space at the wavelengths that CO2 absorb energy (Harries 2001, Griggs 2004, Chen 2007) Surface measurements find more infrared radiation returning back to the Earth's surface (Philipona 2004), specifically at the wavelengths that CO2 absorb energy (Evans 2006). This is what the science says.

so you are saying that C02 cant trap heat.
