Global warming: "I'm not dead yet!" [Purp]
— Open Blogger

All that missing heat is like...hiding in the oceans now and threatening to come popping back out FAST with a vengeance. Any. Time. Now.

... Experts in France and Spain said on Sunday that the oceans took up more warmth from the air around 2000. That would help explain the slowdown in surface warming but would also suggest that the pause may be only temporary and brief.
"Most of this excess energy was absorbed in the top 700 meters (2,300 ft) of the ocean at the onset of the warming pause, 65 percent of it in the tropical Pacific and Atlantic oceans," they wrote in the journal Nature Climate Change...

Their explanation for the arctic being ice free in the early 1900, then a deep freeze by WWII is "shutup". How heat wafting around 2,000' below MSL suddenly sallies forth like the four horsemen of the Apocalypse is explained by peer reviewed and multiply fact checked hand waving.

ANY. TIME. NOW.

7 If the oceans are warming faster than the air, then they are heating before the air is; for the same physical reasons you don't boil water in the oven. If they are heating before the air, the heat source must be closer to the oceans than the atmosphere. And geothermal activity gives off heat, isn't always constant, and on the sea floor is largely unmapped.

17 Yeah, and these jackoffs don't seem to understand the "LAWS" of thermodynamics. The heat would have to move through the oceans, which by the way project ARGO measures the temperature of. There is no sign of the missing heat, measured. Time to get the idiots to stop believing their flawed computer models and look at the real world.

Another damn lie from the assholes, except we can blame NOAA for that one. That supposed hottest year of forever (last year) averaged 7Ã‚Â° cooler than the previous year in actual measured temps in my yard.

You see, I didn't modify the temp by fancy algore-rhyms like they did no "normalize" the numbers.

49 If the oceans had absorbed that much heat, there would be an interesting phenomena occurring. All that liquified methane trapped in the more shallow water areas would be reverting back to a gaseous state. Would see frothing and possibly explosive seas. In fact the Bermuda Triangle would be doing landslide business because sea water saturated with methane bubbling through it would reduce the buoyancy of the water and well ships would sink.

53 How is this not more scientific than that warmist alarmism? Bing historic CO2 levels and temperature graphs. Find the longer time scale maps (reliant on proxies of course). See what I mean? Compare to a Milankovitch chart or Svensmark chart. Clearly the climate changes, sometimes wildly, but CO2 is a horrible correlation.

54 Simple question to GW "scientists". If, as you told us, every climate model said T would rise, and it didn't, what does that tell us about the value of your models?

Just once I'd like to hear one of these guys say, "boy, these models are worthless, aren't they? They don't predict squat."

another incredibly stupid post by purple avengetard. the oceans periodically retain and release heat, exactly as the article claims.

however, that neither proves nor disproves the man-made global warming argument.

whatever point you wanted to make is completely lost by picking an article of scientific opinion that could easily be 100% true and have absolutely nothing to do with the global warming controversy.

So, if they peridically retain and release heat, and that is a big enough effect to change world climate, why wasn't that included in the models, or at least used to assign error bars?

The point of the post is that these are not scientists. They are people with an agenda, looking for any reason at all to dismiss those who disagree with their religion. As such, they are eminently worthy of mockery.

WRONG. Now we are in the excuse phase because the predictions they made were WRONG.

WRONG.

The idea of the scientific method is that it's predictive, not reactive.

110 The short tracks are my favorite. I wish somebody would build another Bristol. I like it when they can bump and bang and the car, and driver, can survive and keep racing. The California race was great -- except that Hamlin got his spine fractured. Nascar can never compete with F1 for raw speed anyway. The great thing about stack car racing is the bumping and banging.

113 I was noting the other day that the Climate Cabal was trying to "change the null hypothesis" again the other day. By definition, the null hypothesis is that there is no relationship between observed phenomena (or that an observed phenomena is not connected to X, X usually being another observed phenomena). So, for this *one* subject, which they have been unable to convincingly resolve, they want to invert a basic scientific principal. Kind of tells you they don't actually believe what they're saying, if they want different rules from *EVERY* other line of inquiry, and rules that *assume* their unproven hypothesis is correct. PS it's not a global warming or climate change "theory," it's a "hypothesis." A Theory has been tested and has not yet failed a test. A hypothesis is untested or has not yet been adequately tested or proven. This is the second most common error on the internet, after "tow the line."

Experts in France and Spain said on Sunday that the oceans took up more warmth from the air around 2000. That would help explain the slowdown in surface warming but would also suggest that the pause may be only temporary and brief.

PS it's not a global warming or climate change "theory," it's a "hypothesis." A Theory has been tested and has not yet failed a test. A hypothesis is untested or has not yet been adequately tested or proven.

Actually, I'd call AGW a "conjecture," i.e., a thoughtlet on how something might work. A "hypothesis" is a conjecture that makes specific predictions that can be experimentally checked. A hypothesis that has withstood many such experimental checks becomes a "theory."

Which is not to say theories are not overturned. At one time parity, like energy and momentum, was thought to be conserved. Certain experiments on emission of subatomic particles overturned this notion ("downfall of the conservation of parity") and led to a Nobel Prize for Lee and Yang.

197 I'll explain AGW. Government funding of science. Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, Dianne DeGette, Barney Frank, and folks of similar intelligence have huge say in where the science dollars go. The way to get funding is to convince drones like these that its more important to study something than to buy a few more votes with "government safety net" Selling something as a potential disaster is one of the easier pitches to make.

Once congress has been convinced that OMG we need to worry about climate change than multiple agencies will write solicitations for proposals to study this -- and it gets crazy. Dept of Energy funds proposals to study climate impact on animals and that is not an exaggeration. Well scientists mold their studies to give the answers that the funders want based on the proposal solicitations. Oh a few are probably investing in Al Gore's carbon trading schemes on the side or some such but for the most part they are just like students saying they got the result the textbook predicted when they did their labs.

I nearly never drove interstates at speed. I didn't mind catching critters in the face at 55MPH. I did NOT like catching bees in my shirt. Which was frequent. That's why I'll have a windshield next time. No faring.

204 well, a bug in the face once in a while is part of riding at speed- but I have the windshield and my helmet has a drop down face shield and I hope for the best

They don't have to. There are plenty of us out here to do that for them. (Maybe we should start charging them for our services?)

208 I snagged a wasp in my shirt pocket once. Was in town, then on the highway it started stinging me... it took me a bit to figure out what was happening. I made a fist and smashed him in my pocket... holy crap, that really hurt .. 3 or 4 stings right on my nipple area. Good times, good times.. heh

214 It's all about getting free money from the stupid taxpayers. All the talk about Global Warming is just a pretense. A license to steal. The grifters see the money train coming to a halt and they will say anything to keep the pennies from heaven flowing.

Just prove it. If you cannot provide data that actually proves your belief, then stop bombarding us with this religious balderdash.

"You mean, other than the fact that its CLEARLY presented as support for maintaining the global warming theory?"

bullshit. it is established scientific fact that the oceans act as a heat sink. there is no contention between the two sides of the global warming debate about the oceans' ability to store and release heat.

the article states NOWHERE that global warming is caused by the oceans' ability to trap and re-release heat.

just like last week, when purple dipshit imagined that amanda knox had been "acquitted" and she was suffering from "double jeopardy".

kristoph, you dumbshit, I don't have the slightest bit of belief in global warming and never stated anything to the that effect.

but the argument about global warming's existence has NOTHING to do with the oceans' ability to trap, store and release heat.

another incredibly stupid post by purple avengetard. the oceans periodically retain and release heat, exactly as the article claims.

>>>Periodically? The oceans do that continuously, as in all....the....time.

however, that neither proves nor disproves the man-made global warming argument.

>>>>then why was it offered to support the AGW theory?

whatever point you wanted to make is completely lost by picking an article of scientific opinion that could easily be 100% true and have absolutely nothing to do with the global warming controversy.

>>>>Sorry, it looks like you didn't go to the link. If you had, you would see that you've soiled yourself badly.

Many problems with this theory: For starters, these Frenchies seem to be telling us that warm water, which is less dense than cold water, somehow "hides" in the deep oceans. Wanna splain that, skippy? Had any thermo courses? Of course not. "Too hard." "I hate math". etc etc.

Dead thread, I know....but crikey, the arrogance and ignorance!!!

"had any thermo courses?"

yeah, fucktard, i'm a chemical engineer.
