you troll...
read the recent science. The NASA scientist used the term thermostat correctly... the way scientists now understand the science.
greenhouse gases along with other natural mechanisms moderate"forcings". co2 rejects warming energy in the upper atmosphere but keeps warming in... according to the current science.
but co2 only plays a small role in the thermostatic action of greenhouse gases. Water vapor clouds and aerosols are currently thought to play a much larger role than co2.
Quote from futurecurrents:
Ummm no, oh whacky one. You see, a thermostat is what they call a negative feedback mechanism. When it get's hotter it calls for less heat. CO2 in the atmosphere does the exact opposite.
You don't understand the most basic aspect of your pathetic argument. You are trying to sound like you have brilliantly found something that virtually the entire world's science community have not. To do such a thing requires at least a basic understanding of the physical properties of atmospheric gasses and things like feedback mechanisms and what the term "thermostat" means. You have demonstrated that you don't understand any of these things.
The NASA scientist used the term thermostat wrong. Unless he is saying that as heat input gets higher the heat rejecting properties of CO2 in the thermosphere gets higher also. But that does not happen. The properties of CO2 remain constant regardless of solar input.
At any rate it's a moot point, the thermosphere is essentially irrelevant. It is the troposphere that we are interested in here. CO2 acts like the glass in a greenhouse. Hence the term "greenhouse gas". Perhaps you have heard of it. Unless your argument is now that CO2 is not a GG.

Feds Will Spend $18M to Develop âReliableâ Climate Change Predictions

Current methods of predicting future climate change have proved to be wildly inaccurate. For example, none of the 73 computer models used by the United Nationâs Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicted that there would be no statistically significant global warming for the past 17 years as determined by actual temperature records stored in five different databases worldwide...
One year does not a trend undo.Quote from gwb-trading:
I certainly hope FC, Ricter, stu. etc. read this entire article. It shows that even the U.S government knows that global warming theory is completely off.
'And despite claims that climate change caused by global warming is causing "extreme weather," a new study by the SI Organization, Inc., a systems engineering firm, ranks 2013 as âone of the least extreme U.S. weather years ever,â noting that âthere has been no major hurricane in either the Atlantic or eastern Pacific, which only occurred one other year in recorded history â 1968.â'
I do have to wonder what the government's definition of 'Reliable' is however.

Ok, I replied to your post where you were referencing global warming. Now you're talking about AGW.Quote from gwb-trading:
If you were smart you would jump off the "Global Warming" --> "Climate Change" --> "Next Alarmist Name Here" bandwagon and admit that AGW is not supported by scientific evidence. It is "politcal", effectively a "religious", movement not any type of scientific reality.
