NASA’s Revised Global Warming Numbers

Published August 13, 2007 in Global Warming.

This obviously negates Al Gore and the scientific work done by all those scientists not working for Exxon and Co.

Wow. Looks to me like that doesn’t make your point. It reflects a field of change of 1.2 degree C over about 130 years. Or lets consider it another way. During this era of man’s greatest C02 output, the average annual impact on global temp was roughly 0.009 degree.

And we still have no real idea of how much of this miniscule change OW so nicely put out for us is man made versus natural. Keep in mind water vapor is the number one greenhouse gas.

And, anyway, how in the hell can NASA have revised climate change numbers when the science is settled? I thought that when the science was settled, the science was settled, but obviously I now learn the science is not settled when the science is settled. Just like when Apocalypto Gore had those sea levels inundating the Rocky Mts or whatever. (”oops, Big Al, we need to back off that one and unsettle that ’science’ a tad”).

Ah, you deniers never cease to amuse me. Soon you’ll be telling me how much you doubt those horseless carriages and those lighter than air vehicles we read so much about in the papers.

Dugger, let’s try an experiment. 1) Take 2 ice cubes
2) Put one ice cube in the freezer
3) Put the other in a kettle.
2) Heat the kettle.
3) Come back in an hour.

Now, which one has more water content left? This will tell you which one evaporated water more quickly.

You point out that water vapor is a greenhouse gas without understanding in the least that this is (a) a well-known fact and (b) that increased water vapor is predictably present and increasing in any global climate change model. This is to say that if you put the oceans in a kettle, you will increase water vapor in the troposphere.

Funny how the Duggers claim to defend the Western traditions most, and yet understand them least.

Already asked and answered, amigo, but you seemed to miss the point at the time.

The science hasn’t changed.

“Or whatever?”

Is that a “scientific” term?

During this era of man’s greatest C02 output, the average annual impact on global temp was roughly 0.009 degree.

Correct–and that “average” trends strongly in one direction, giving a cumulative impact that’s signifigant. Your “average annual” change adds up to a cumulative effect 100 times the average.

I don’t believe anything that comes out of NASA. That lone Russian scientist, who isn’t even a climatologist is the one I listen to. And there is some Canadian guy too.

It’s “never cease to AMAZE me”, not “amuse me”.

How can you be right on Global Warming when you can’t even get a cliche right?

Hey Dugger, can I have my glaciers back? Thanks in advance.

Dugger, I’m so sick of your bullshit.

I wasn’t using the cliche, smartypants. You guys don’t amaze me, you amuse me. I’m amazed by things out of the ordinary. Conservatives denying science is so run of the mill it is amusing.

Mambo, dugger’s sick of his own bullshit, too. His idiocy has reached such a low point of hackery these days you can tell he’s not even trying anymore.

What’s sad is Dugger isn’t even getting paid to shill the oil company bullshit. He just hates science all on his own.

wow, its been quite some time since ive been to the ol’ ow.com comments section.

its comforting to see dugger still going back and forth with quaker and frameone.

is frank still peddling his condi fan-fics?

Hey Duder. Dude! Once glaciers were in Illinois and receded due to natural factors. They found ancient tin mines in the Alps under receding glaciers. You think, you just think Mother Nature might have some pretty damn significant sayso in glaciers receding? Or do you think its all that minor one degree rise in temp over the last 100 years. Some of which, some of which might might be a byproduct of greenhouse gases - of which C02 - is not the most prevalent. And IF IF you were to do some research you might find that glacier recession was well under way before AlGore started having kittens. But then this take doesn’t fit the political agenda does it?

On the verge of making an actual argument, Dugger found his point derailed by the bizarre image of Al Gore having kittens. He yawned, and went back to sleep, content that the liberals had been well and truly put in their place.

“Hey Duder. Dude! … But then this take doesn’t fit the political agenda does it?”

We’ve dealt with this bullshit in the past. Come up with a new argument, or shut the fuck up.

It is not worth trying to make sense of Dugger. He is too stupid to even deal with the inconsistencies of his own “evidence.” Take, for example, his lack of familiarity with the connection between an increase in the global climate and the amount of heat-trapping water vapor in the troposphere. This alone should cause him to STFU.

That’s one degree Celsius (or 1.8 degrees F.) and as a measure of global average temperature, not minor.

Yes. I used a capital C to so indicate I understood Celsius.
