Trend data as presented by NASA

Were we melting or just measuring? - People say the world is turning into a giant toaster, but what if the sun and planets are controlling it? You have to see why these experts are fighting over the facts if you want to know if we're really in trouble.

Sara says:

What is global warming?

Approximately a century's worth of data showing an upward trend in temperatures. Almost a degree centigrade. Some feel its effects are astounding, and that we are at our warmest in about a millennium.

Temperature increases have occurred more suddenly than at any time in the past as well.

Barry's Response -

It's true

...we have
detected these changes recently and more frequently than ever before. Highest temperatures and increased frequency and severity of happenstance circumstances have occurred over the most recent decades.

Scientists are still working on determining whether those changes are detected simply because we have become better at detecting them. THAT remains an issue.

First, it has been warmer many times in the last 1,000 years. Around 1,000-1100 AD figs grew in Germany and grapes in England and the great cathedrals were built and the Crusades launched due to much warmer climate in Europe. The 1800s were much cooler than the 1900s, but of the 1900s the 1920s and 1930s had the 6 hottest years ever recorded by humans. This caused the "dust bowl" in the Midwest and caused great migrations to the West Coast.

History's Real Heat Cycles

While Al Gore says each year is the hottest ever recorded, we know that ice is increasing in the central parts of Greenland and Antarctica while the warmed oceans (from the 1900s) are still
melting the fringe areas of those regions. The temperatures in antarctic have been declining as the Earth's tilt is decreasing to provide more radiation on the Equatorial Zone and less on the Polar Zones. All indications are that as the warmed oceans cool by evaporation (causing flooding), the Temperate and Polar Zones will cool and the Equatorial Zone will warm.

CO2 is an extremely weak warming gas at 388 parts per million, which water vapor is much stronger and is at 22,000 ppm.But even that is dwarfed by the oceans, which absorb, retain, and give off by evaporation when H2O molecules absorb light (mostly but some infrared) and their kinetic motion increases enough escape the surface tension of water.

If you don't know these things, as well as the Wolf-Heisenberg cycles, and the effects of Jupiter's elliptical orbit (via gravity) on the Sun, and the Suns lesser orbit about the center of gravity of the solar system, and its effect on the hydrogen nuclear fusion of the Sun's core, then you should not be repeating the nonsense of a politician whose investments and position as Director of Generation Investments in London (run by Goldman Sachs), then perhaps you should express your thoughts about some field in which you have studied rigorously. I'm sorry to have to tell you this.

Barry's Response - Quite a mouthful. You certainly have given some food for thought. Thanks for this.

Carl, you just shattered the popular narrative with a bucket of cold water! You did your research on History's Real Heat Cycles. You look back a thousand years to when English grapes and German figs flourished. It takes guts and a good memory.

Water vapor crushes CO2 in terms of sheer volume. There are 22,000 parts per million of H2O molecules on the planet, but only a tiny fraction of CO2. Air quality consultants focus on pollutants that sting your eyes and lungs, but you remind us the greenhouse is mostly driven by ocean breath.

Humans might just be ants on a giant, spinning radiator if the Sun fluctuates because Jupiter's gravity tugs at its core. Wolf-Heisenberg cycles suggest our climate depends more on nuclear fusion 93 million miles away than on your car. I feel like freedom of thought is becoming rare, but you just brought it back. You say we shouldn't trust a politician's investment portfolio over the Earth's history. It doesn't matter if the world warms or cools, we should keep our air clean because soot stinks, not because we think the Sun can't do its job.

No, you didn't parrot anyone. The room shook when you grabbed the microphone.

Does the idea that the Sun and Jupiter control our lives make you feel small, or does it make you feel free from climate panic? Let's see who else has the nerve to talk about the Medieval Warm Period!
