Allowing for that falling
on the oceans, and further decline
due to angle of incidence as distance from equator increases, less the amount required by vegetation for
photosynthesis, we are left with how much energy for conversion of solar radiation to heat / electricity / catalytic reaction to other fuels?
Dr. Avakyan's paper attributes the known temperature rise to the effect of solar geomagnetic activity
on clouds, and the known rise of CO2 to the carbon not absorbed
due to expanding deforestation, desertification, and urbanization, and the resulting lessening of
photosynthesis.
I don't mean to step
on Michael Tobis» toes, but the level of CO2 has always so far as the various ice core and like data strongly suggest (above 99.5 % with consilience) been seasonally variable over land
due to interaction of plants and temperature as proven by NH / SH trends, just as it is diurnally variable
due to
photosynthesis.
[Response: Your argument misses the point in three different and important ways, not even considering whether or not the Black Hills data have any general applicability elsewhere, which they may or may not: (1) It ignores the point made in the post about the potential effect of previous, seasonal warming
on the magnitude of an extreme event in mid summer to early fall,
due to things like (especially) a depletion in soil moisture and consequent accumulation of degree days, (2) it ignores that biological sensitivity is far FAR greater during the warm season than the cold season for a whole number of crucial variables ranging from respiration and
photosynthesis to transpiration rates, and (3) it ignores the potential for derivative effects, particularly fire and smoke, in radically increasing the local temperature effects of the heat wave.
