Are you actually sure that an increase of only 0.045% of solar radiation directly reaching the surface rather than being caught in the upper atmosphere is sufficient ?
Even assuming that the figures are correct, surely some of that energy caught by the ozone layer would have radiated downwards as heat. And you will pardon me questioning the accuracy of figures when you use units of watts per second, which is rather obviously wrong. Perhaps, if you quote the correct figures - with the correct units, a comparison could be made

This article goes through ALL the purported causes of climate change to show which ones cause how much change.
Bloomberg - Are you a robot? I know this is a bare link, but all I can do is take screenshots:
When you add them all together you get a very very very strong match between the model and the observed data, and the only element that significantly adds to the warming is the greenhouse gases. And it would have been worse if we had not banned aerosols. Enjoyby our ability to understand Rebel☮American☆Zen☯Deist ... to learn ... to think ... to live ... to laugh ... to share.

I take this to mean that man made additions of carbon dioxide warm the planet.

By chlorofluorocarbons since WW2 Was that caused by a volcano eruption or giant undersea earthquake? I completely missed it. See I thought that CFCs, that you credit the increased warming of the earth to, were anthropogenic compunds. But then you just finished telling me that anthropogenic global warming had fallen flat on its face.
AGW falls on its face. Apparently it doesn't.

Given that there is such a push for change right now how screwed are we really we are at 1.2 + got here from 0.9 + last year. And given that there is a tendency to be less alarmist then you should while doing research in global warming, a tenancy of even the worst models falling off the mark to actual measurements are we done for ?

Not if we stop measuring. If we didn't take all those measurements there would be no global warming.

foreveryoung writes: There is no need to imagine radiative forcing due to carbon dioxide when you have had almost 50 years of roughly 3% extra ultraviolet B radiation warming the ocean. The ultraviolet B radiation is roughly 1.5% of total irradiance from the sun. How are we "imagining" the greenhouse effect? Adding more greenhouse gas to the atmosphere will trap more heat. Period. It is an inescapable fact of physics. If we have more heat coming in due to higher input from the Sun, then more of that heat will be trapped compared to an atmosphere with 25% less CO2. That would be a double whammy.

Would you walk into a laboratory and drink the first liquid you came across? Perhaps you would grab a saline solution and be fine. Perhaps not. Is it worth the risk? What we know is that we did very, very well with the climate from the last several thousand years. We also know that infrastructure and political power is based on certain regions having a certain climate. What happens if we change all that?

You do realize the oceans emit carbon dioxide when they warm....the warmer, the more co2 emittance. You see a fairly smooth rise of co2 compared to a very jagged record of actual temperature. In short, the co2 concentration is rising because of warming oceans.
As for the ozone plot, all I see is arm waving, no concrete evidence. They don't state how much energy has been allowed to reach the surface, particularly the oceans, since the ozone began to be depleted. They state that ozone traps heat in the lower atmosphere and hand wave that this balances out any extra heat let in from the lower concentrations in the upper atmosphere. No one, has proven that greenhouse gases warm the earth beyond what they warm at very low preindustrial concentrations. Wishful thinking and hubristic claims don't cut it. You have not proven co2 warms the atmosphere much less ozone in the lower atmosphere. If given a steady amount of solar irradiance at the surface, any warming of the atmosphere is totally due to any slowdown in the release of long wave radiation at the edge of the atmosphere. Show me your math on how greenhouse gases slow this release down beyond preindustrial levels. You have to take nitrogen and oxygen into account and convection and conduction into account as well. In particular, show how radiative processes involving co2 slow the long wave radiation release into space beyond what nitrogen and oxygen and conduction and convection already do.

In short, the co2 concentration is rising because of warming oceans. But if this was what was going on, then the concentration of oceanic CO₂ would be going down. But it's going up.
If it's increasing in the atmosphere and in the oceans, where can it be coming from? Could we perhaps be emitting 40 billion tonnes of CO₂ per year by burning fossil fuels? I think that might be it.

In short, the co2 concentration is rising because of warming oceans. True as far as it goes. It is certainly the case that CO2, like most gases, is less soluble in warmer water. But you are failing to see the consequences in perspective What you describe is part of the positive feedback that makes CO2 generation and release to the atmosphere a bad idea. Yes, warming does release some Co2 from the oceans, but that in turn produces more warming.
As for the ozone plot, all I see is arm waving, no concrete evidence. They don't state how much energy has been allowed to reach the surface, particularly the oceans, since the ozone began to be depleted What I see is you jumping from excuse to excuse. Remember when your proposal was based on photons not existing.
No one, has proven that greenhouse gases warm the earth beyond what they warm at very low preindustrial concentrations You sound just like a Tobacco Institute spokesman from the 60s and 70s when they insisted that no one has ever seen any element of cigarette smoke actually produce lung cancer. Prove is a not a scientific word. Not even the theory of general relativity has been proven. The best scientific explanation is AGW, and there is plenty of evidence for the phenomenon, and little reason other than wishful thinking to deny the explanation. Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given. Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846) History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. Martin Luther King I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend. Thomas Jefferson Seems to me if its clear that certain things that require ancient dates couldn't possibly be true, we are on our way to throwing out all those ancient dates on the basis of the actual evidence. -- Faith

You do realize the oceans emit carbon dioxide when they warm.... Among other sources of CO2 ... Do you know where that CO2 in the oceans came from?
....the warmer, the more co2 emittance. You see a fairly smooth rise of co2 compared to a very jagged record of actual temperature. In short, the co2 concentration is rising because of warming oceans. and why are the oceans warming? Hint: it rhymes with mobile warning ...
Show me your math on how greenhouse gases slow this release down beyond preindustrial levels. ... Curiously the math is built into the models that show the effect of the various elements to global warming.
... You see a fairly smooth rise of co2 compared to a very jagged record of actual temperature. ... You see a smooth curve rise of CO2 caused temperature from the mathematical model that fits well the the jagged curve of actual measurement of temperature (with daily and seasonal variations). That smooth rise curve is the result of the maths.
... You have to take nitrogen and oxygen into account and convection and conduction into account as well. In particular, show how radiative processes involving co2 slow the long wave radiation release into space beyond what nitrogen and oxygen and conduction and convection already do. As noted in the article they took those and more factors into consideration, and the only causes that showed matches to the actual temperature pattern were the greenhouse gasses.
No one, has proven that greenhouse gases warm the earth beyond what they warm at very low preindustrial concentrations. Wishful thinking and hubristic claims don't cut it. You have not proven co2 warms the atmosphere much less ozone in the lower atmosphere. These graphs demonstrate that the only match between cause and effect is the greenhouse gasses model rising curve to the actual temperature overall pattern.

I ran across this on the Skeptoid website.
The Simple Proof of Man-Made Global Warming It provides a very nice description of measurements and observations that show how the sources of carbon in the atmosphere are determined.
quote: The article also describes how measurements using spectrometry show that the greenhouse gases: CO2, methane, water vapor, nitrous oxide, and ozone are the primary sources of heat in the atmosphere and what percentage of each is responsible.
quote: quote: I couldn't see any obvious flaws in this article and it has a short list of references at the end. Edited by Tanypteryx, : No reason given.What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it. Contrary to your understanding, all available evidence confirms it. --Subbie If evolution is shown to be false, it will be at the hands of things that are true, not made up. --percy
