Anthropogenic global cooling causes everything, you know, as highlighted by the Fish Wrap’s Justin Gillis
In an article this week on the relentless rise of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, I outlined one of the canonical projections of climate science: if the amount of carbon dioxide doubles, the average surface temperature of the earth is likely to increase by 5 or 6 degrees Fahrenheit, a whopping change. I contrasted that with a prediction from skeptics of climate change who contend that the increase is likely to be less than 2 degrees.
If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we’d all have a wonderful Christmas. Doubles from…..what? The IPCC article linked (2nd link in excerpt) doesn’t really say. But, wait, it gets better nuttier
In fact, as Dr. Alley reminds anyone who will listen, and as he recently told a Congressional committee, the estimate of 5 or 6 degrees is actually mildly optimistic. Computer programs used to forecast future climate show it as the most likely outcome from a doubling of carbon dioxide, but those programs also show substantial probabilities that the warming will be much greater.
The true worst case from doubled carbon dioxide is closer to 18 or 20 degrees of warming, Dr. Alley said — an addition of heat so radical that it would render the planet unrecognizable to its present-day inhabitants.
Well, even if possibly true, we’d, you know, adapt and evolve, like Darwinism says. Funny how the alarmists forget about that in face of what anthropogenic global cooling causes.
Dr. Alley calls the usual news media presentation of the issue a form of “false balance.†In his view, mainstream climate science should be seen as coming down on the conservative side of a range of numbers that runs from 2 degrees to 20 degrees. And in setting public policy, he said, lawmakers need to entertain the possibility that any of these numbers is correct.
I’m so glad that the AGC science is giving us such specific numbers. If only there was some actual science involved, instead of visiting Madame Zelda at the carnival.
Meantime, the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere keeps ticking upward, with 400 parts per million now only a few years away.
Yet, the overall world temperatures have been pretty much stable for the past 15 years, as even Phil Jones acknowledged.
lol. Why do you continue to make statements about subjects on which you have absolutely no clue?
Um… anything. The relationship between the concentration of CO2 and temperature is roughly logarithmic. You know what that means?
What have recent temperatures looked like, when you factor out weather events, such as El Ninos and La Ninas?
Seriously, though. I just dropped by to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I have been real busy lately. I’m sure you’ve missed me. 😛
Teach I think 2010 will go down as the hottest year yet. ? What do you think?
perhaps a graph of the temps over the last 1000 years would help people to understand how stable the temps are (not)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_record_of_the_past_1000_yearshttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bb/1000_Year_Temperature_Comparison.png
That doesn’t look stable to me !!
I guess soon the deniers will be saying that the Arctic Ice is melting because it is getting colder.
Teach the papers that you cite most often and taht are the LEADING papers of Deniers are those conservative English papers. And the chief climate change deniers also deny evolution.http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/georgemonbiot/2009/mar/06/climate-change-deniers-top-10
The chief climate change denier in the US Senate Inhofe also denys evolution as does sarah Palin. Hmmm oh wait evolution is also denied by Steve Milloy from Fox News. Teach it seems like there are common threads here. Just how old do you think the earth is?
OMG WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!
QUIT BREATHING OR WE WILL DIE!!!!!
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMA
AAAAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
