In the Lacis et al experiments, removing the CO2 from the atmosphere generates a cooling of around 30 C, an order of
magnitude difference from Lindzen's answer.
Not exact matches
The only
difference is while homeopaths are insanely wrong with some 30 orders of
magnitude (
from a biologically active drug), creationists are insanely wrong with 90 (
from a cosmologically active process)!
He can not distinguish questions regarding the existence of the universe
from questions regarding its physical origin; he does not grasp how assertions regarding the absolute must logically differ
from assertions regarding contingent beings; he does not know the
differences between truths of reason and empirical facts; he has no concept of ontology, in contradistinction to, say, physics or evolutionary biology; he does not understand how assertions regarding transcendental perfections differ
from assertions regarding maximum
magnitude; he clumsily imagines that the idea of God is susceptible to the same argument
from infinite regress traditionally advanced against materialism; he does not understand what the metaphysical concept of simplicity entails; and on and on.
When we standardized all the estimates to a common scenario — i.e., the same exposure to screening, and a similar target population, period of screening, and duration of follow - up — the
magnitude of the
difference between studies dropped
from twentyfold to about fourfold.»
Our beliefs about
differences between the sexes have an impact on society vastly out of proportion to the
magnitude of those
differences,
from female scientists defending their mathematical and technical expertise to boys accused of lacking the communication and emotional skills to succeed at school.
The
difference of 5.7 to 8.6
magnitudes means Alpha Centauri B would appear, on a linear scale, 2500 to 190 times dimmer than Alpha Centauri A (or the Sun viewed
from the Earth), but also 190 to 2500 times brighter than the full Moon as seen
from the Earth (− 12.5).
The
difference between GT and Sport + is far
from so wide as to render either a waste, with Aston electing to avoid things like, for example, dialing - in a
magnitude of steering effort with no apparent benefit other than tiring your arms.
The
difference in cat intakes among three of the shelters
from 2009 to 2013 do not show the same
magnitude of decrease as SJACS, and in the case of HSSV, increased by 438 cats.
Northern hemisphere concentrations are a bit higher than they are in the Southern hemisphere (here), but the
magnitude of the
difference is small enough to support the conclusion
from the methane budget that tropical wetlands, which don't generate much interhemispheric gradient, are a dominant natural source (Kirschke et al 2013).
Since the Eastern Tropical Pacific is not entirely decoupled
from West Wind Drift given the general pattern of circulation in the SE Pacific, the question arises is the
magnitude of the observed overall energy
difference in the recently observed «extended» La Nina phase of ENSO condition relative to the the «more normal» ENSO comparable in
magnitude to energy associated with the apparent increase in winds and potentially currents around the Antarctic?
Looking at the
difference in
magnitudes from the published table 1
from Kea09, AND the altered table 1 that the authors redid with Gavin's input which was posted during August in RPJr.
Let us assume the
differences between two years ago and this year are consistent and confirmed: That means we went
from an amount equal to total oceanic emissions to
magnitudes more (tens of meters across to a kilometer across) in just two years.
We don't really know the
magnitude of that lag as well as Barton implies we do, because it is very challenging to put CO2 records
from ice cores on the same timescale as temperature records
from those same ice cores, due to the time delay in trapping the atmosphere as the snow is compressed into ice (the ice at any time will always be younger older than the gas bubbles it encloses, and the age
difference is inherently uncertain).
But even for each model individually,
differences from one version to another are larger that the
magnitude whose effect they are set to detect.
To appreciate the
magnitude of this temperature increase, it should be compared with the global mean temperature
difference of perhaps 5 or 6» C
from the middle of the last Ice Age to the present interglacial.
That in turn is almost nothing compared to what we could get a moderate number of years
from now if there is another grand minimum (like a second maunder minimum), which,
from prior history, could give not just several percent but an order of
magnitude more
difference in cosmic ray flux.
The reason for relatively large uncertainty regarding the Medieval Warm Period is not so much about reliability of the data as it is about the
magnitude of the
difference (if any)
from today.
Since «there's an over two orders of
magnitude (~ 120)
difference between the amount of energy needed to add a litre to the ocean
from melting ice (~ 334KJ)[and] thermal expansion of sea water (~ 40,000 KJ)», this means that sea - level rise, often offered as a «proxy» for «global warming», is actually not important.
Thus, the basic
magnitude of the solar irradiance variations is given by the
difference between the irradiance of the present quiet Sun (composed
from a distribution of brightness components defined in Appendix A) and the irradiance
from component A (see Eq.
Cowtan and Way's bias estimate,
from their own table never reaches 1 - standard deviation (the large
magnitude difference is 0.7 sigma).
Note
from reference [1] that the thermal expansion coefficient at low pressures can range to over 3 times the assumed value (itself 4 times the lowest given value), which means that
differences in partitioning ocean heat alone could introduce as much as half an order of
magnitude error.
