The issue for us is whether man is causing a catastrophe (mainly due to
large positive feedbacks in the climate system), and whether past warming has been consistent with catastrophic rates of man - made warming.
While the professionals
assume large positive feedbacks i assume a net negative feedback (a negative feedback that is more negative than the standard negative feedback that is to be expected from the Stefan - Boltzmann law) in line with Ferenc Miskolczi's theory.
Tropical rain forests could thus potentially induce
a large positive feedback for global CO2 atmospheric accumulation.
The figure for climate sensitivity to doubling of CO2 of 3.6 to 8.1 degrees Fahrenheit depends on water vapor being
a large positive feedback.
kim (# 8), Can you point us at a reference for that «water vapor not being
a large positive feedback» assertion?
(as per
the large positive feedbacks posited by the «consensus»)
The large positive feedback that can turn a mild warming into a dangerous one just is not there.
With each passing year, experimental observations further undermine the claim of
a large positive feedback from water.
Melting ice is
itself a large positive feedback which could double the fast - feedback warming.
