    It's just a lot of pictures with no context, so it says nothing to me.

    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.

        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.

        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.

              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.

                    I am enjoying your frustration, and don't like the sound of crickets. You've been looking for arguments that fit your opinion (aka cherry picking) for quite some time now. Few people will take it seriously, so no real harm will come from these threads. Still I will keep correcting you, just to prevent someone from accidentally believing that your opinion has some merit.

                      Feel free to correct me. Feel free to offer up any valid counter evidence. You havent done yet so there is always a first time. And no, not frustrated, just enjoying exposing the utter lack of valid counter argument coming from you. :)

                        I do not need to counter-argument; I have the data of local weatherstations and can confirm the trend. You otoh have gone from denying GW to denying AGW, and now it is CAGW. Deny all you want :)

                          It always has been. Let me lay it out for you again. 1) The earth has warmed 2) man has played a part (97% of scientists think this too. Doram Zimmerman poll). However that warming by man is not great, and is certainly not catastrophic. Is it so hard to understand that there is middle ground? :)

                              You did indeed use a five year olds logic to try to make that connection.... Of course not all change is catastrophic. Did the change from the end of the ice age to today result in catastrophe? No. Did the change over the last 100 years do so? No. Would a new ice age be? Yes. Northern Europe sitting under a 2 mile thick ice sheet. That is catastrophic.

                                  Northern Europe having to harvest early due to drought isn't? :laugh:

                                  And they can harvest early because the produce is ripe. Due to warmth. Slam dunk, and he rams it home. In his own goal. Well done! :laugh: :laugh:

                                    Not ripe, but having some harvest is better than none. Watch the price of potatoes, and see how "beneficial" the warming is :)

                                      However that warming by man is not great, and is certainly not catastrophic.

                                      Any change is catastrophic, as already explained in terms that a five-year old can understand. You were saying?
