Climate Change

Another quote from the APS Climate Change Statement Review:

IPCC suggests that the stasis can be attributed in part to “internal variability.” Yet climate models imply that a 15-year stasis is very rare (von Storch et al., 2013, available at http://www.academia.edu/4210419/Can_climate_models_explain_the_recent_stagnation_in_global_warming ) and models cannot reproduce the observed GMST even with the observed radiative forcing [See figure immediately below from the AR5 WG1 report].
 
Another great quote:

To what extent do you believe the recent Arctic decline to be unusual, given that Section 5.5.2 of the AR5 WG1 report states: “There is medium confidence that the current ice loss and increasing SSTs in the Arctic are anomalous at least in the context of the last two millennia.”?

Medium confidence!!!!!

Fraud, do you also have medium confidence? Blahahahahahahahaha

Are you basing a major part of your AGW religion on "medium confidence"?

Wait for it...........blahaahahahahahahahahaha.

So on the one side we have ignorant deluded righties like you and gwb, and the other......

Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree that climate-warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities,1and most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position. The following is a partial list of these organizations, along with links to their published statements and a selection of related resources.

  • GSA-emblem-with-canvass-border.jpg

    The Geological Society of America
    "The Geological Society of America (GSA) concurs with assessments by the National Academies of Science (2005), the National Research Council (2006), and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2007) that global climate has warmed and that human activities (mainly greenhouse‐gas emissions) account for most of the warming since the middle 1900s." (2006; revised 2010)9
SCIENCE ACADEMIES
  • International academies: Joint statement
    "Climate change is real. There will always be uncertainty in understanding a system as complex as the world’s climate. However there is now strong evidence that significant global warming is occurring. The evidence comes from direct measurements of rising surface air temperatures and subsurface ocean temperatures and from phenomena such as increases in average global sea levels, retreating glaciers, and changes to many physical and biological systems. It is likely that most of the warming in recent decades can be attributed to human activities (IPCC 2001)." (2005, 11 international science academies)10

U.S. GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
  • USGCRP-emblem-with-canvas-border.jpg

    U.S. Global Change Research Program
    "The global warming of the past 50 years is due primarily to human-induced increases in heat-trapping gases. Human 'fingerprints' also have been identified in many other aspects of the climate system, including changes in ocean heat content, precipitation, atmospheric moisture, and Arctic sea ice."

    “Most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely* due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations.”14

    *IPCC defines ‘very likely’ as greater than 90 percent probability of occurrence.



No contest. Idiot, ignorant, science-denying righties lose.

No contest. Idiot righties lose.

Can you read? Do you have shit for brains?

Those are quotes from American Physical Society!!!
 
In other words, the APS seems to be shooting holes in the IPCC Working Group 1 of the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5 WG1) released in September, 2013.

Quote from APS document:

http://www.aps.org/policy/statements/upload/climate-review-framing.pdf

American Physical Society Climate Change Statement Review
Workshop Framing Document
Climate Change Statement Review Subcommittee1, December 20, 2013
The detection, attribution, and projection of climate change, especially under anthropogenic influence, are issues of major societal import. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has issued a series of reports over more than two decades, culminating in that of Working Group 1 of the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5 WG1) released in September, 2013 [http://www.climatechange2013.org/]. Those reports have expressed increasingly confident consensus views of the importance, if not dominance, of anthropogenic influence on the global climate over the past 60 years.
The American Physical Society’s (APS) Climate Change Statement Review (CCSR) is a process (mandated by the Society’s bylaws) to reconsider its 2007 Statement on Climate Change, available at http://www.aps.org/policy/statements/07_1.cfm . The Subcommittee charged with making a recommendation on that matter has found, as part of its process, the need to better understand the IPCC consensus on climate science through a workshop that will dive deeply into some of the more uncertain aspects. In doing so, it will illuminate for itself, for the APS membership, and the broader public both the certainties and the boundaries of current climate science understanding.
The Subcommittee’s scope is the physical basis of climate change2 and we take the consensus as expressed in the AR5 WG1 Report and its Summary for Policy Makers (SPM). Below, we raise a set of topics and questions (in red) to prime and focus discussion at the workshop. These questions have not been chosen to “pick nits” or “pick cherries”, but rather to highlight fundamental issues in current understanding of the physical basis of climate change.3
 
Here some other great questions the American Physical Society asked:

Oceans have approximately 1000 times the thermal capacity of the atmosphere and are well coupled to the atmosphere through sensible and latent heat transfer.

• Is it correct that ocean surface temperature changes have the potential to drive significant changes in GMST?

Bold and underline mine.

If yes, then we note that Section 3.4.2.1 of the AR5 WG1 report states:

The overall uncertainty of the annually averaged global ocean mean [heat flux] for each term is expected to be in the range 10–20%. In the case of the latent heat flux term, this corresponds to an uncertainty of up to 20 W m–2. In comparison, changes in global mean values of individual heat flux components expected as a result of anthropogenic climate change since 1900 are at the level of <2 W m–2.

• With uncertainty in ocean data being ten times larger than the total magnitude of the warming attributed to anthropogenic sources, and combined with the IPCC’s conclusion than it has less than 10% confidence that it can separate long-term trends from regular variability, why is it reasonable to conclude that increases in GMST are attributable to radiative forcing rather than to ocean variability?

10% confidence? Blahahahahahahahahahahaha
 
Fraud,

Don't worry about it. I am sure Dr. Christy and Dr. Curry adequately answered all of the American Physical Society's questions and the American Physical Society was illuminated.
 
So on one side we have your dumb ass and on the other we have the American Physical Society!!!!!!!!


Let's try this again because apparently shit for brains WeDidToddToo - which has to be the stupidest forum name ever - cannot read.

So on one side we have idiot science denying righties and the other....

No science org in the world denies AGW and essentially all of them have issued statements agreeing with the massive consensus of over 97% climate scientists. AGW is real.

Now read carefully "Todd".................
