"The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.

Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific technological elite."

I got in earlier but the CRU article wasn't up yet. I have quickly scanned the 140+ responses about 5 minutes ago and most of the memos are what I have already read elsewhere. I will check back later today when more comes out. I'm afraid I'll have nightmares about flesh eating climate scientist zombies but I'm going to bed anyway.LOL Good night Denny.

Denny and or Admin. There was a smoking gun at another blog with a link to over 1,000 memos implicating HadCRUT and others in a cabal to supress climate data. The link was removed for fear of legal reprise as it is suspected that the HadCrut computers had been hacked into. Is there any other news or has anyone made copies of the memos.

Usually, the stock retort was that AGW skeptics were funded by "big oil". When it turns out that we aren't, then we're not "well organized." Well, science doesn't hinge on whether we have a secret handshake or a patch for our jacket. Science is simply there. You're statement implies that AGW believers are organized and that somehow makes you more right. Why? Because you are organized and have rehearsed rhetoric? I'm still waiting on a scientific debate.


ron
19 Nov : 04:51
And yeah, I know more science than the president, which is not saying a lot, and I can recite it without a tele-prompter. And a scientific fact is valid regardless of what party you vote for. The government doesn't decide what science is.


ron
19 Nov : 04:49
Hmmm, you should listen to how political and unscientific you sound. So, you think scientific validity is based on "credibility" based on where they have the chatbox? Or that skeptics don't have an "organised" opposition and you do, I suppose? Not once in you reply did you even rely on science. Instead, your points are made with political terms. Science is science, whether it is politically popular or not. We don't define a science by voting on it or how well we "package it" to the voting electorate.


Hmmm
19 Nov : 04:28
If I were you, and if I wanted my site to have any credibility, I would remove this chat section from the front page as it reduces your valid scientific arguments to a lot of chitchat between disaffected youths with nothing better to do than sit on the internet all day. Unless this is that kind of site, I would hide this section. The president comes here to see what you are up to you say? I bet he is laughing also, since he certainly doesn't have top worry about any organised opposition.

hi im doing a research paper on facts that say global warming is a hoax...any ideas?


ron
18 Nov : 05:01
I read it. Even though some may poop on the algebra, the principle is the same as what I have been saying. CO2 cannot have the conscious ability to direct its re-emission only toward the ground. It will happen in all directions. So, heat radiates away like it always has, maybe more effciently, Maybe just the same, regardless. And CO2, like any gas, transfers its to any cooler gas or area or substance as soon as it encounters it. Basic physics. It's why your air conditioner works. And that's why I say that CO2 can't hold in anything. It merely changes slightly the heat exchange rate, and that is only at 2.5 and 15.7 microns.



Denny
17 Nov : 21:06
ron, have you seen this paper yet?




Denny

ron, yea, all we get here is one sentence remarks from the Alarmists!
Except, I have noticed that more People requesting info on AGW from our site....which is good! Mostly students so they claim...


ron
17 Nov : 19:41
And, as I have predicted here and on other blogs and chats, not one AGW alarmist can answer my challenge other than repeating the catechism of St. Gore, as was evidenced by the few here that at least came up with something in the name header. They simply reiterated. Not one could explain how they expect CO2 to re-emit it's IR at 2.5 and 15.7 microns (and any stratospheric cooling is at 6.5 microns, which is water vapor) only at the surface at the planet. To be fair, it can't. No gas can do that. But I was willing to see if any one would be as silly as Akers was in his debate with Piers Corbyn, when he was about to say that it was silly that plants needed CO2, when the host cut it short. But no takers, so far. ho hum ...


ron
17 Nov : 19:34
Thanks, Denny. I saw Lord Monckton's mathematical gauntlet, which states even more clearly what the article was stating, which is what I have been saying all along. First, the earth is not a closed system. The atmosphere, with varying layers of density, is not a closed system. But even if it were, like a framed and enclosed hothouse, it would still radiate heat away at a certain temperature that establishes equilibrium between inside and outside. However, our atmosphere, containing no such hard metal layer, convects more rapidly and easily. Prof is shown by Prof. Lindzen.


Denny

It depends. If her teacher has been brainwashed and she wants to make an A she should just make up facts and figures showing how man is evil and wants to melt all the ice, kill all the polar bears, flood all the coastal cities, starve people in poor countries and cause endless hurricanes and droughts. If her teacher wants the truth send your sister here.

Are Sea Level Increases Due To Global Warming? Be Careful How You Answer That.
Admin, Sunday 21 September 2008 - 18:38:49 // comment: 25 //     email to someone printer friendly   //     Font Size - Increase / Decrease / Reset

One of the scare tactics used in the Global Warming debate is that sea levels are rising due to human CO2 releases. The problem with this assertion is the science just doesn't back it up.

What is the cause of sea level increases? Thermal expansion is the primary reason. The following is a quote from the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

“What causes sea level to change? Firstly, as ocean water warms, it expands. On the basis of observations of ocean temperatures and model results, thermal expansion is believed to be one of the major contributors to historical sea level changes. Further, thermal expansion is expected to contribute the largest component to sea level rise over the next hundred years.”
But if the IPCC agrees that thermal expansion is the primary reason for the sea level increases, and they propose that man-made CO2 level increases is the cause of global warming, what caused the very steady sea level increases prior to high CO2 levels? Because if you pay attention to the science that the IPCC conveniently leaves out of their reports there are jewels to be found. Take a look at the following graph:


Holocene Sea Levels (Wikipedia Image)


The graph above shows sea levels for the past 8,000 years. Can you identify the period with the least amount of change? Recent times have been very steady. The astute observer might point out that the degree of accuracy with this chart might easily hide recent changes. So take a look at the following graph:


Recent Sea Level Increases (Wikipedia Image)


Tide records show a rate of increase at 180 mm/century going back to the 19th century and show no measurable acceleration throughout the late 19th and first half of the 20th century. Further the IPCC 2001 report states "No significant acceleration in the rate of sea level rise during the 20th century has been detected". However, CO2 level rates have increased significantly in the later half of the 20th century. The following IPCC graph shows the CO2 rate of increase was much higher in the later half of the 20th century than the first half.


IPCC CO2 Levels, Past 1000 Years


If CO2 levels were to blame for increases in sea level one would expect to have seen similar rates of increase. So what is causing increases in sea level? If global warming causes thermal expansion, and thermal expansion is the "primary reason for the sea level increases" (IPCC quote), and the rate of sea level rise hasn't changed significantly in centuries it is obvious the increases are not caused by anything man is doing. So one must conclude that any increase in sea level to date is natural and most likely will continue to be natural unless the rate of sea level rise increases dramatically and better tracks something that man is doing.

One would also have to conclude that the rate of warming increase has also been the same for the past few centuries. The rate of sea level increase in this case acting as a temperature proxy (much like tree rings and ice cores). Keep in mind that relatively accurate sea level measurements have been around a lot longer than accurate global temperature measurements.

It is always fun to have the other side in a debate make your points for you.

For those who are curious, that's 7.87 INCHES in 128 Years! So much for Scare Tactics.....

I really believe that global warming isn't doing that to our oceans and our sea levels, after reading this information for my 8th grade school project, i found it very helpful. I don't believe sea levels were incresing becasue of global warming. Thank tou.

So if "global warming causes thermal expansion, and thermal expansion is the 'primary reason for the sea level increases'" then global warming would be the primary reason for the rise in sea level. Although 7.87 inches doesn't seem like a lot, 7.87 inches of water over all the seas in the entire world is huge. I think this article presents the right facts, but it has too many flaws.

I think the point is what caused the thermal expansion before 1940 or so? CO2 levels couldn't have caused it. Yet the sea level has been increasing at about the same pace for hundreds of years. If the rate of increase is the same today as it was 200 years ago the cause is very likely the same as well. Therefore CO2 isn't causing our warming.

The problem with that philosophy is that people will think "So if CO2 isn't the cause of global warming, well that means we can safely increase our gas emissions as much as we want"

Whether CO2 emissions are responsible for global warming is indeed up to debate. One thing is sure though: excess of CO2 emissions CAN'T be a good thing. Just because there are no clearly identifiable immediate consequences doesn't mean we shouldn't be careful. All this data proves one thing: we are still ignorant to the way our planet works. And I don't think all this "hey this shows that human activities may not be responsible, we can safely ignore those alarmist hippies and does whatever the f**k we want" reaction is either safe or clever.

CO2 levels have been MUCH higher in the past than what they are today and life FLOURISHED, so 'yes' higher CO2 levels can be a good thing. People try to say that corals will all die under high CO2 levels yet they too flourished during previous periods where CO2 levels were 10-15 times higher than what they are today. Are some types of corals sensitive to CO2? Possibly. But who cares other species will take their place, that is how nature works. Nature is constantly adjusting to the changing conditions of the planet. Think about how much change a large meteor striking the earth would cause, yet the earth adjusted just fine. Or the every 10,000 year ice age! I think man can do without a couple of types of coral in order to live like civilized humans, instead of like foraging Neanderthals.

First of all, that's false- CO2 levels are at an unprecedented high, up around 380 ppm. Before the industrial revolution, they never got much higher than 300 ppm. It is absurd to be unconcerned about species loss so we can "live like civilized humans". At our current rate of species loss, we are in the middle of a sixth mass extinction. Life on earth will most certainly bounce back, but that doesn't mean this isn't a huge issue. Biodiversity is crucial to a healthy planet.

The level of carbon dioxide in our air is higher than it has been in the last 600,000 years. Yeah, there certainly were times when we had higher levels but also the climate was totally different. There were no ice caps so the sea levels were many feet above where they are now, putting our current coastal cities underwater. Global temperatures were on average 70F everywhere and everything was a swamp. The earth will definitely survive high levels of CO2 but we probably won't. A recent article in Science, the most prestigious science journal around (vol 318 page 1230-1231) outlines how screwed we are. Google a video by Nate Lewis from Caltech as well.
It is predicted that in the next 50 years we will have an increase in temperatures of at least 2.5C which is enough to wipe out huge percentages of animals around. Keep in mind that the heat wave that killed a significant portion of europe a few years ago was only 0.5C higher than normal.

Please, over 10,000 people died in France alone during that heat wave because the doctors and ambulance drivers were on vacation and people have gotten soft. The actual temperatures were not at all unprecedented and occur in similarly large cities all over the globe. Dallas Texas sees those temperatures in March! So it wasn't so much the temperatures that were to blame as much as was the the bureaucracy of socialized medicine and the fact that people had become so reliant on it (rather than on themselves).

Cann someone please explain the second graph, the text on the right side says sea level change, wich would imply annual change, if this is true the seas are rising in a increasing rate

There is an annual increase, but it's not an increasing rate, it's a steady rate.

First, look at the first graph. It shows that the sea level has been rising for at least the last 8 thousand years (though more slowly in the last 2000 years than previously). So we know that sea levels have a trend of rising. Next, the second graph takes a closer look at a more recent snapshot (last ~130 years). You'll see that the sea level was rising (which makes sense from the trend) consistently from the beginning (1880). But is the RATE of the rise increasing? That is, is it rising FASTER now than it was previously?

You'll note that you can draw a straight line from about 1890 to present. This ability to draw a straight line through basically the entire graph means that the average rate of increase is basically constant (obviously barring yearly fluctuations). And you can almost see a ~5cm rise every ~20 years. That's consistent, steady rise.

Rising at an increasing rate would mean that while it may have risen ~5cm in ~20 years at the beginning, it rose ~10cm in ~20 years after that, then ~15cm in ~20 years after that, etc. That is an increasing rate.

You can also look at the last graph of CO2 and see what a graph of growth at an increasing rate looks like. See how you can't draw a straight line from 1800 - 2000? That's because it's not a steady, constant rate of growth, but an increasing rate.

That's also part of the conclusions drawn. If CO2 was the culprit causing the rise in sea levels, then the increasing rate of growth we see in CO2 levels graph should be reflected by a similarly increasing rate of rise in sea levels. Since there is no such correlation, then we can conclude that CO2 is likely NOT the primary driving force of sea level rise.

Hope that helped. (And I'm not a climate scientist, nor mathematician so I hope I didn't step all over the terminology)

In fact, you read the axis wrong. The original commenter was right, this IS a graph that shows an increasing rate. Please notice that the y-axis measures the RATE of sea level increase. An increase of 0 mm/yr 100 years ago has turned into an increase of 25 mm/yr, which is an increase in rate. In other words, the sea level rise is accelerating. Because the rate of increase is increasing. That line you can draw through the rate on that graph means it is increasing at a constant rate, so the rate itself isn't accelerating. But yes, that graph shows accelerated rising.

Anyway, I think the anti-warming people should also check out this site:


More science BS.

WOW Ignorance really is bliss huh?

First, i really have a hard time understanding why people believe scientists around the world would waste there time or risk there careers studying something that wasnt real. do you think us scientists make things up just for fun. Sorry most scientists went into science for the betterment of mankind. That is our driving force. whats yours money? EXACTLY!

Lastly want to know why the sea levels havnt risen as dramatically as the CO2 levels? its beacuse the ice melting first is sea ice which would not raise sea levels. However just wait for the day when greenlands lad ice and antarcticas land ice begin to melt then you will all change your tunes. Of course youll turn to us scientists crying what can we do and well tell you told you so.

I couldn't agree you with you more. I'm a chemistry phd student at Harvard and after talking with many climatologists, one of whom discovered the ozone hole in the antarctic and there are not legit scientists who dispute this fact. It is only agencies like this site and the media that cloud public perception and twist scientific fact for political gain. Don't buy it.

There is a lag in time between CO2 level rise and warming/sea level rise. They don't happen simultaneously. That is why the 19th century graph is used in this example on this website. The warming will eventually catch up with the CO2 levels and then the sea level increase will accellerate.

i believe its been rising, falling, and the earth warming and cooling for millenia's, hundreds and thousands of years. its completely natural. yeah maybe we dont help but i agree with the guy above, there was a time when a storm was a storm and a earth quake a quake - not some evil deposited by man through industry.

i dont believe we effect it as much as 'science' leads us to believe. you cannot actually prove that we are we are actually contributing to global warming at all, your just speculating and throwing stats around. funny how climate change is on the tip of every politicians tongue and it lies side by side with taxation. in the near future we will be taxed on our carbon emissions carbon footprints, thats what this climate change propaganda is really all about isnt it?

this earth could recover and survive anything - us humans on the other cannot and our days are numbered - which is actually fair game cos everything has its tima and place, and if we get wiped out then so be it.

ya its true co2 levels have risen and fallen over time even before man existed. and even people who point that out know that that co2 caused warming of the earth ion the past. also no one can dispute the fact that co2 levels are higher now than anytime in the history of life on earth. hmmmm i think its gonna get hot duh.

I agree i hold a phd in biochem and no self respecting scientist would argue against global warming. All legit scientists beleive and know it is happening. the only ones who claim otherwise are those in the oil and energy industries, and there paid to say that. in the scientific community we call that a conflict of interest.

I remember in the late 70's when we were all told the earth was entering a mini ice age. I believe it was by these same reputable scientists. I think our ability to measure things has increased without the ability to correctly intrepret those measurements. Climate is a very long term proposition and to assume that the last 30 years is representitive of the next 30 years is a bit dangerous. While there is ample evidence of a rise in CO2 there just isn't enough evidence that it is causing a rise in temps/sea levels etc... to cause a reasonable person to much alarm. The only sure thing I see in the whole history of the earth is that everything changes. To think that we can stop that just because we can now measure certain parts is rather foolish on our part. For all we know we might actually be measuring the wrong thing. A prudent person would do well to be environmetally consious without go so far overboard as to cause sever damage in another area. It wouldn't hurt anyone to drive a high milage car instead of a gas guzzler. On the other hand it wouldn't make sense to to totally stop using fossile fuels. A little patience and a lot more knowledge will give a clearer indication of what we need to do.

As a geologist at an energy company I obviously have a vested interest in the issue. Some may call it a conflict of interest. However in this global warming debate I would like to put a few points out there:
-there have never been more humans living on the plant as there are currently. Obviously, the current condition is not unhealthy.
-since there are more humans on the planet, will this not cause it own set of sustainability issues? The issue may not be too much CO2 but too much homo sapien.
-how accurate are temperature readings? Have not cities increased in size dramatically over the past 40 years? A weather station that was in the rural part of a city in the 1950's is now part of suburbia. The heat island effect (warming due to increased population density) would make the temperature at that once rural weather station produce current readings impacted by the heat island effect, not global warming.
-global warming is better than global cooling and you always get one or the other. You rarely get global temperature stability.
-Would the effects of economic upheaval caused by cap and trade be more dramatic than those of climate change?
-Humans are terrestrial vertebrates. Terrestrial vertebrates do very poorly during ANY dramatic terrestrial disturbance, natural or manmade. Our years are limited.
-Has anyone performed a water balance on the ice sheets to determine if there is a correlation between the polar ice loss and sea level rise?
-Just because two parameters show correlation does not mean that one of the parameters is causal.

JUST WONDERING, NOT PREACHING.
