(Carbin did a basic analysis using data that is independent of the tornado reports used in the study and found a signal «that would suggest that their findings are valid,» he told Climate Central.)

In fact, the more I think about it, the more I think that doing the basic analysis is so easy that it ought to be required of anyone who wants to be taken seriously in a discussion of climate in which math, data, and science are involved.

This was during my early days of climate blogging, and I assumed that it was so obviously wrong, that one would simply need to point this out and anyone with any experience of data analysis (or even basic algebra / mathematics) would accept that the graph was wrong and misleading.

The lines of evidence and analysis supporting the mainstream position on climate change are diverse and robust — embracing a huge body of direct measurements by a variety of methods in a wealth of locations on the Earth's surface and from space, solid understanding of the basic physics governing how energy flow in the atmosphere interacts with greenhouse gases, insights derived from the reconstruction of causes and consequences of millions of years of natural climatic variations, and the results of computer models that are increasingly capable of reproducing the main features of Earth's climate with and without human influences.

Unsurprisingly, the survey confirmed climate change to be a largely politicized issue, viewed too often along party lines instead of according to factual analysis (and both parties are guilty of this, in different ways — there are plenty of liberals who proclaim their allegiance to the fight against global warming without a basic education on the issue).

«Our analysis shows that strengthening the efficiency provisions in pending energy and climate legislation produces substantial reductions in household energy costs relative to both business - as - usual and the basic APA and ACELA legislation.»

The basic problem is that climate modelers reject any physical error analysis.

Many scientists who deal with mathematically advanced climate models might laugh at such a basic analysis.

After years of rigorous analysis and testing, the high degree of agreement between the various atmospheric data sets gives an equally high level of confidence in the basic accuracy of the climate data.

Peter developed one of the first analyses of climate change impacts on water resources, the earliest comprehensive work on water and conflict, and defined basic human need and right to water — work that has been used by the United Nations and in human rights court cases.

But great advances in paleoclimate, analysis of in - situ and satellite observations, my own acquisition of some basic understanding of climate physics and, yes, climate models have all added up to very compelling evidence that we are changing climate and engendering serious risks in doing so.

The basic results of this climate model analysis are that: (1) it is increase in atmospheric CO2 (and the other minor non-condensing greenhouse gases) that control the greenhouse warming of the climate system; (2) water vapor and clouds are feedback effects that magnify the strength of the greenhouse effect due to the non-condensing greenhouse gases by about a factor of three; (3) the large heat capacity of the ocean and the rate of heat transport into the ocean sets the time scale for the climate system to approach energy balance equilibrium.

Hansen's climate analyses have been based not only on the very basic physics that goes into climate model design, but on the detailed studies of the geological ice core and isotope records that are used to constrain and confirm climate model sensitivity.

[Response: If you did the same analysis before (not after), you would get the same basic finding, i.e. the climate was more likely non-stationary than stationary.

One of the basic problems in reaching rational conclusions with regard to global climate change problems is that AGW proponents and skeptics largely use different data sources and very different analyses of the global temperature data to support their cases.
