    I pointed that YOU stated it was credible with nothing to back up your statement. So direct everything you said to yourself first.

    Trying to understand.
    2. Are you saying that a certain part of the frequency spectrum of the sun radiation warms the top 300 feet or so of the oceans and lakes and doesn't warm up any part of land and atmosphere?
    2. You have never hear about 97% of scientists all scientific agencies agreeing that CO2 the main reason of the thing which never existed and cannot exist as it is totally meaningless which is called global climate, or earth climate and which was made up just for purpose of imposing tax on CO2?

    How my reply is stating anything else, they exist only in the imagination of scientists, I never thought that somebody would doubt that it is not expressed on paper and hard drives. FYI - quite a while ago scientists agreed to erase MWP even if takes to change all peer reviewed process again. I am afraid you are somewhat behind the progress of science. No MWP anymore. It is in the process of been erased from text book and human memory.

    1) No. The reason for bringing up the water warming angle was to point that it is the SUN, not a trace gas that warms the ocean waters,where most of the excess energy is temporarily stored in. CO2 radiation from the air doesn't store anything,certainly doesn't add any measurable energy to the water either.

    The same SUN that warms the land surfaces as well, but didn't think I had to point it out as anyone can understand that part easily,as we live on it nearly 100% of the time.

    2) I have heard about this consensus nonsense,since it doesn't advance science,it is a political behavior for the purpose of supporting governmental propaganda.

    When you use the word Imagination, which is defined as "the faculty or action of forming new ideas, or images or concepts of external objects not present to the senses." it implies that it is made up. That is why you confused me,since science papers are NOT based on made up imaginations,it is research based on data gathered by instruments and observation,build a hypothesis, then test to see if it is validated,reproducible by others.

    Only a tiny few scientists actually tried to erase the MWP,it ended in failure, since several website were created in response to this small weak rewriting attempt of past science research. I already posted one example: The Medievel Warm Period Project ,there are others out there making clear, the MWP is alive and well in the science literature.

    You are being pessimistic.

    I just don't know what the **** you're talking about, and I don't think anyone else does either. The only thing I can distill is that you don't think any of this can be known. If that's your point, I just don't agree.

    If any of this means parameters of the given chart you understood me correctly. It cannot be know for any applicable purpose.
    If I understand correctly, you just don't agree but you will not tell what is your reasoning beyond the disagreement, because all you have is just a blind religious belief.
    Am I correct?

    I agree with both points, and apologize for being meticulous. The only one thing I strongly disagree is "the excess energy is temporarily stored in." I don't know what is the excess energy, and I know that according the main, the central physical law heat cannot be stored.

    They are not based on any related data gathered by proper instrumentation, less they are based on any related observation while building a hypothesis puts them beyond any reasonable doubt exactly where I said - outside of the reality of the experimental philosophy aka physics aka natural sciences.

    It is fine to clarify things,and you have been civil the whole time doing it.

    I was saying that the energy gained from the Sun takes some times for it to go up into the atmosphere. El-Nino events accelerate the rate of energy leaving the Ocean waters,thus cooling it down a little. When it is La-Nina events,it is the opposite.

    El-Nino: Waters cooling down,Atmosphere warming up.

    La-Nina:Waters warming up,Atmosphere cooling down.

    I am not quite familiar with El-Nino and doubt there are not other factors, but it is my pleasure to see that somebody understands the main, the central physical law which states that if something is warming it means something is cooling in a spontaneous process. I have no objection to any word you said.

    But if heat is continuously being added to the system it warms. If I start up my furnace the whole house warms faster than it cools...to a point.

    Is it a question? If you want me to explain the 2nd law for you I will, if you want to argue with it, live in peace.

    It get dark when the sun goes down,no solar energy input then. Ocean ALWAYS losing some energy all the time. But sometimes it loses energy faster when certain weather events create conditions for El-Nino events to greatly increase the pool size of warm water on the surface.Here is a description of the phenomenon:

    From Scripps Institute of Oceanography

    So What is an El Niño, Anyway?

    "What causes it?

    • Usually, the wind blows strongly from east to west along the equator in the Pacific. This actually piles up water (about half a meter's worth) in the western part of the Pacific. In the eastern part, deeper water (which is colder than the sun-warmed surface water) gets pulled up from below to replace the water pushed west. So, the normal situation is warm water (about 30 C) in the west, cold (about 22 C) in the east.

      In an El Niño, the winds pushing that water around get weaker. As a result, some of the warm water piled up in the west slumps back down to the east, and not as much cold water gets pulled up from below. Both these tend to make the water in the eastern Pacific warmer, which is one of the hallmarks of an El Niño.

      But it doesn't stop there. The warmer ocean then affects the winds--it makes the winds weaker! So if the winds get weaker, then the ocean gets warmer, which makes the winds get weaker, which makes the ocean get warmer ... this is called a positive feedback, and is what makes an El Niño grow."

    It was about furnace and I don't think politicalcenter was looking for any explanations

    Your assumptions about my beliefs are incorrect. I'm actually skeptical about the extent to which past conditions, such as those reflected in the chart I posted, can be known. Sometimes, though, it can be helpful to grant propositions that one does not necessarily affirm to show that an opponent's contention would still be false even if a disputed premise were true. In this debate, even if everything the AGW crowd says about the science were true, it is still false that any government should try to do anything about it.

    If it gets dark on one side of the world it gets light on the other side. So...energy is still being pumped into the system. The furnace is always on. With CO2 trapping heat the world continues to warm. The only solutions that make sense to me is storing the carbon in the soil and plants. Farmers are catching on. They are beginning to realize carbon drives farm profit.

    Hello Max,

    You said you disagreed; now it may look like you rather agree. Let me make my position more clear, so you would be able really disagree:

    1. About the chart. So-called proxy data or reconstructed data, all of it, with no exclusion is nothing more than fake science and belongs to garbage. There should be a reason why thousands of “studies” attempting to use these “data” in practice, all with no exclusion, have led either to failed predictions or to more unresolved problems requiring more money and “studies”. There should be a reason for rapid development of science after Newton’s scientific revolution which established the rules dividing natural science from personal philosophy. The reason is that the scientific method taught in schools in universities for last decades has turned all science to pre-Newtonian, Medieval times.


    2. AGW. I am not even talking about AWG. I am talking about GW. GW is not even a fake science. It is pure, no science, politics, ideology. The terms GW and CC are self-serving and they appeal not to any physical process or rational or phenomena or knowledge, but to feelings of uneducated and indoctrinated. Find one, just one participant, who is for GW, who is against it, but who would know that warming is not an increase in temperature and is not measured in degrees, and who would associate the word warming with the equation dQ=dU+dA; or who when hears the word Climate immediately associates it with terms continental, tropical, subtropical, wet, dry, etc. and who knows that climate is applied to geographical regions only, while the made up from nowhere term Global climate or earth climate is just moronic. GW is less real than Flying Spaghetti Monster.


    Do you agree?

    Political Center writes:

    "With CO2 trapping heat the world continues to warm. The only solutions that make sense to me is storing the carbon in the soil and plants. Farmers are catching on. They are beginning to realize carbon drives farm profit."

    CO2 doesn't trap anything,it absorbs and release IR at the speed of light, CO2 is not a molecular cage to absorb and hold a photon,it is wrong to say it traps when it has no such set up built in it.

    CO2 is a trace gas with a trace IR absorption capability,which make it a negligible player in the heat budget. Most of the IR spectrum is Transparent to the CO2 molecule, thus most of the outgoing IR photons never gets touched by CO2 at all.

    C is an atom,which is not CO2 at all, it is irrational to deprive ecosystem the needed additional CO2, as the current atmosphere is historically low in CO2. CO2 is a critical molecule for the Photosynthesis process, more of it in the atmosphere would help farmer grow healthier stronger crops on less water.

    CO2 is not driving climate change and is IMPOSSIBLE to cause warming trends.

    Every reputable science organization on the planet would disagree with you. Carbon does much more good being stored in soil as organic matter and humus than in the air as a so called fertilizer.

    Oh dear, try reading what I wrote again, since you still have a problem understanding the difference between CO2 and C.

    Plus your consensus statement doesn't address what I said at all,since I explained you the simple obvious difference between an atom and a molecule. Consensus Pablum are part of the political process,Science runs on reproducible research.

    CO2 IS A TRACE gas, as this make clear, .04% of the gases on the atmosphere. It is also VITAL to life as it is involved in the Photosynthesis process,which make possible for plants to exist. More of it in the atmosphere will improve planet health and promote additional bio-ta growth.

    There is a large list of published science papers showing plant growth is much improved with much higher levels of CO2 in the air.Why do you think mass plant growers use CO2 generators in their large greenhouse?

    Here is an example: The Interactive Effects of Elevated CO2 and Temperature on Cotton LINK

    He is another one who doesn't realize how consensus errors have killed people in the past. It is a pernicious belief that popularity is all you need in science,when actually it doesn't answer a single science question. It is silly and irrational,but many still use it anyway/
