What's important here, and remains important, scientists say, is how the patterns of atmospheric and climatic change reveal the most about the involvement of greenhouse gases, not simply the change in global temperature.

This empirical science published by NASA is undeniable, and most alarmist scientists accept, although grudgingly - the relationship between changes in atmospheric CO2 levels and changes in temperature are, at best, significantly lame weak.

This is true because most mainstream scientists have concluded that the world must reduce total global emissions by at the very least 60 to 80 percent below existing levels to stabilize GHG atmospheric concentrations at minimally safe atmospheric GHG concentrations and the United States is a huge emitter both in historical terms and in comparison to current emissions levels of other high emitting nations.

While actual scientists are trying to piece together every little part of an otherwise almost un-piecable long term chaotic and variable system in response now to a massive increase in net lower atmospheric energy absorption and re radiation, Curry is busy — much like most of the comments on this site most of the time — trying to come up with or re-post every possible argument under the sun to all but argue against the basic concept that radically altering the atmosphere on a multi million year basis is going to affect the net energy balance of earth, which over time is going to translate into a very different climate (and ocean level) than the one we've comfortably come to rely on.

Conway's account of his collaboration with Oreskes on this «tobacco industry - connected climate scientists» matter doesn't offer a clearer picture of why atmospheric physicist Dr S Fred Singer was seemingly «the most dangerous man on the planet», it begs for deeper investigation of why and how this portrayal of him coalesced in the first place.

I have never seen this addressed when discussing recent atmospheric CO2 increases, but then, I am not a climate scientist that would be familiar with papers on such things, particularly since most are paywalled

CO2 is a «well mixed» gas in the atmosphere despite all the sources and sinks, despite the 180 ppm reading in the ice cores being too low to support C3 plants, despite the daily and seasonal sawtooth Also see former EPA scientist — slide 24: «Most of the atmospheric carbon dioxide is being transported by water droplets.»

Never - the-less, it is generally accepted by most all climate scientists that, in the absence of feedbacks, future increases in atmospheric CO2 will have less effect on world temperature than past increases, and that there is a cap (in this chart around 1.5 degrees C) on the total potential warming.

No, what I'm doing is drawing attention to an important and uncomfortable reality: that scientists from the academies of science of two major global economies (China and Russia — between them responsible for 34 % of global CO2 emissions, more than the US and EU combined (24 %)-RRB--- have a wholly different view of mankind's responsibility for recent atmospheric temperature increases from what seems to be the view of most relevantly qualified Western scientists.
