I went to the soapbox to find lively conversation and found crickets

I can. Everything written down was written by biased men, because we are. We have had "education" to offset that.

What boggles me is that some reporters and media pundits rave about certain facts and then completely ignore or even dispute other facts. You cannot cherry pick which facts you want to believe. If scientifically proven facts go against your beliefs or personal narrative, than perhaps your beliefs are wrong and you need to admit that.

I would love to discuss that subject but first we have to agree on a definition of "Global Warming" before a productive discussion of the subject can commence.

Go tell that to my Catholic brothers :thumbsup: And yes, the US can push whatever narrative they like, and they do. Governing isn't science, it is politics, psychology and managing perception :)

Well, there are things that we know for certain. 1. The mean yearly temperature of the atmosphere has been increasing over the last two decades. 2. The mean yearly temperature of ocean surface water has been increasing over the last two decades. Those are the facts. Everything else is speculation.

It is our third heat wave here (usually we get one). In 2015, golf courses re-open on Dec. 24, a thing never saw before. I don't know if GW exists, but there sure are more evidence for it than the existence of God.

Been a little quiet in here the last couple of days. Seems a little odd.

Ya, ain't it kinda nice! No one grinding an axe!

Of course he does, he just retired 10 years ago.

A single experiment is not enough to "prove" that CAGW is not real. Knowing you, it is a biased and cherry-picked piece of text, funded by some large corporation :)

This one is. It shows an increase in out going long wave radiation as the surface warmed. This means the warming at the surface is not coming from retained long wave radiation, the mechanism by which the greenhouse works. Energy in = Energy out + Energy stored. The sole energy source is the sun. If Energy out and Energy stored (surface temp) have gone up, then it can only have come from the sun. ( Disclaimer: This doesnt mean that CO2 isnt a GH gas, and doesnt mean mankind has had some effect on temperature)

Do you understand what it shows? ERBE shows increasing out going long wave radiation in line with time (and an increase in surface temperatures) Climate models propose that the surface is warmed because CO2 traps long wave radiation resulting in a reduction in out going long wave. ERBE shows climate models are wrong, and that since the sun is the sole energy source, the warming must have come from an equal increase in incoming solar radiation.

So, no warmth from the earths core? No chemical warmth, like from a forestfire? No more volcanoes?

Yes, brilliant. You are implying that the sun did not change :) That's correct, it hasn't. What has changed is the blanket around the earth that filters away a part.

Geothermal heat flux is small, about a watt, and constant so it can be ignored.

WTF? You have something weird between your ears. The exact opposite is what I am saying.

We already know it is not one of the suns' natural cycles :) Anything else? --edit And keep it simple, I just woke up and coffee is not yet done :)

Really? There are two aspects to the sun. TSI and sun spots. TSI is the energy output by the sun. This has increased over the last 100 years be a couple of watts. Sun spot activity has also increased over the last century to a peak about 20 years ago. It has fallen since, but is still much higher than in 1900. Sun spots means solar wind, this affects cosmic rays, which affects clouds, and hence solar energy at the surface. So there is also cosmic ray density in space to consider. But what ERBE shows is that increasing outgoing LWR means surface warming is not due to retained LWR, obviously.
