Sentences with phrase «by climate skeptics kept»

Not exact matches

«While there's nothing controversial in the letter, please keep it in confidence» a Latham & Watkins writes, forwarding a signed invitation by Nigel Lawson for Scott Pruitt to address the U.K.'s premier climate skeptic group.

Since to me (and many scientists, although some wanted a lot more corroborative evidence, which they've also gotten) it makes absolutely no sense to presume that the earth would just go about its merry way and keep the climate nice and relatively stable for us (though this rare actual climate scientist pseudo skeptic seems to think it would, based upon some non scientific belief — see second half of this piece), when the earth changes climate easily as it is, climate is ultimately an expression of energy, it is stabilized (right now) by the oceans and ice sheets, and increasing the number of long term thermal radiation / heat energy absorbing and re radiating molecules to levels not seen on earth in several million years would add an enormous influx of energy to the lower atmosphere earth system, which would mildly warm the air and increasingly transfer energy to the earth over time, which in turn would start to alter those stabilizing systems (and which, with increasing ocean energy retention and accelerating polar ice sheet melting at both ends of the globe, is exactly what we've been seeing) and start to reinforce the same process until a new stases would be reached well after the atmospheric levels of ghg has stabilized.

««I can't identify any major player on the skeptical side of the Climate Divide, either by name or general viewpoint, that even resembles The Skeptic [which Mosher keeps referring to].»

As for major players, you must be referring to my complaint that «I can't identify any major player on the skeptical side of the Climate Divide, either by name or general viewpoint, that even resembles The Skeptic [which Mosher keeps referring to].»

One of the challenges faced by climate scientists is keeping a straight face when confronted by the stupidity of skeptic logic.

Not to mention, why do skeptics continue to ignore, dismiss, or simply «argue with» by any means possible, the far more important fact that most of the increased absorbed heat energy is going into warming the oceans, not the atmosphere (thus keeping the ambient air temp rise from registering as high as it otherwise would, and impacting FUTURE climate far more).
