So this is science Bart?

Wonder if we can get Dr. Hansen to debate the great Dr. Roy Spencer on Stossel? I seriously doubt it.

what about your own cognitive biases? You don't seem to discuss those at all.

I didn’t like quantum mechanics at first, either.

I admit we all have biases. I’m not doing any climate research myself, though. Perhaps you can find biases in the new research I read and post, but most of the action in this thread is in debunking myths that have been debunked a million times over already. It’s all about talking points that the scientific literature had already addressed 20 years ago. They’re just not controversial

So this is science Bart?

One could argue the merits of open access scientific publishing here. I’m not sure if that’s what you mean though

It's hot in the summer...

Y’all know when it’s summer in the northern hemisphere, it’s also winter the southern hemisphere, right?

The gap between 2015 and all other years seen in that chart is likely to grow because the El Niño that NOAA announced a few months ago has been growing stronger — and it is projected to grow even stronger and last the entire year. The rising ocean temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific, which are characteristic of an El Niño, just keep rising.

“Confidence continues to grow that this El Niño will be one of the stronger El Niños over the past 50 years,” AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson said Thursday.


There is a greater than 85 percent chance that the current El Niño lasts through May. As AccuWeather’s Anderson explains, “El Niño typically reaches its peak during the December through February period.”

If this pattern plays out, then 2016 would likely top whatever temperature record 2015 sets — again, possibly by a wide margin. After all, the blowout temperature year in the 1997/1998 super El Niño was 1998.

Liar! As the planets and stars rotate around the earth, the sun warms our planet equally.

You claimed some pages back that climate scientists don't engage in alarmism.

Don't think so.

Yes the Earth is balanced in that way. Maybe you should tell Hansen the total sea ice is roughly the same as it was 35 years ago?

Ok Alex.

No problem Albert.

Former Top NASA Scientist Predicts Catastrophic Rise In Sea Levels

Quote from link:

"The paper, which will be published online in the European Geosciences Union journal*Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics*Discussion*later this week, projects sea levels rising as much as 10 feet in the next 50 years."

So, this is the most dire "what if" scenario. 1 foot every 5 years of rise. 2+ inches per year. I wonder how people will prepare for such an onslaught of water? Well, they could move their home to higher ground. As long as they elevate more than 2.5 inches per year, they're good. Build levees around their home. Raise the ground level. Move to another home on a modest hill. Betcha there's many ways to outpace 10 feet in 50 years.

Loved the last 2 paragraphs:
"The paper has already ruffled some, including Associated Press science writer Seth Borenstein, who said on Twitter that*he would not cover it*-- primarily because it had not yet been peer-reviewed, a process that allows other scientists to critique the work.

The*Washington Post's Chris Mooney*asked other climate experts to weigh in on the paper. While many said it raised key discussion points, Kevin Trenberth of the National Center for Atmospheric Research called it "provocative and intriguing but rife with speculation and 'what if' scenarios."

So a government scientist is predicting something catastrophic? How shocking lol:

Isn't that harmful to the environment?

Don't think so.

UAH isn't surface temperature. JMA and NOAA both agree with NASA; last June was the warmest on record. And we're likely going to continue breaking records well into next year thanks to El Nino.
