«I do not believe billev has quoted that article to argue that the majority of climatologists in the 1970s predicted global cooling, but rather to argue that they understood
global temperaures to have declined since the mid-1940s.
«These results suggest that 1) chronic ERT [Estrogen Replacement Therapy] likely acts centrally to decrease Tre
[temperaure], 2) ERT lowers the Tre at which heat - loss effector mechanisms are initiated, primarily by actions on active cutaneous vasodilation, and 3) addition of exogenous progestins in HRT effectively blocks these effects.»
Why is it that climate sceptics have been going on about the Urban Heat Island * being the cause of the
observed temperaure increase found in the global averages, if, as you say, there is no increase in the global averages?
al can not prove concusively that the earth is warming as a direct result of human actions... and it has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt the data used for al gore's hockey stick chart, most of the «
record temperaures», and much of the other basis for the warmist culture has been manupilated and / or cherry picked....
Thus we can treat the TCR is the current mean
decadal temperaure divided by the current forcing and multiplied by 3.7 W / m ^ 2 (ie, the forcing for doubled CO2).
Unless presented with absolutely rock solid data which shows how some latent longer term effect of CO2 is in the works in the next 50 years or so we are pretty certain the total likely
additional temperaure gain by 2100 or a doubling of CO2 is 0.4 C.
I take it from this, that cloudiness plays a great part in
determing temperaure, reflecting heat back into space before it lands.
The mechanism (or, more likely, mechanisms) which explains the clear and obvious link between global
air temperaures and solar / oceanic changes has not been ascertained adequately but it isn't anything to do with CO2.
This modelling work, combined with current understanding of the wind - driven ocean circulation, implies that global
surface temperaures will rise quickly when the IPO switches from the current negative phase to a positive phase.
The droplets of condensation are always at
the temperaure of the water below.
With respect to the moderator, I do not believe billev has quoted that article to argue that the majority of climatologists in the 1970s predicted global cooling, but rather to argue that they understood global
temperaures to have declined since the mid-1940s.
, can you show empirical tests on the physical capability of «greenhouse gases» to raise
the temperaure from -18 °C to 15 °C?
