Tom Curtis at 09:19 AM on 2 July 2012Michaels and Cato Unwittingly Accept the Climate Threat
rugbyguy59 @10 has it right. There are in fact myriad ways to switch to a low carbon economy. Some have advantages over others in some areas, but compensating flaws so that, from a purely economic point of view, there is no clear advantage to any particular method. The difficulty, then, is not the method chosen but the political will to choose any method. If we can increase that will by adopting a particular method, then that is sufficient to make that method the best option. -

The results of readings obtained on the basis of a satellite can not be ignored, however, during work tend to rely more on local readings, as far as I know. -

Refreshing information, at a time when I was doing graduate work in 2010 -11 yr. One part of the study was devoted to comparison of climate models, however the data that were available to me were very thin, or were obsolete. The latest that I could find from the working climate models or principles of work was to 2004 as well. But now I see is not the case. -

Jörg Kampmann, Germany and I cite psalm 23: Psalm 23 A Psalm by David. Yahweh is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over. Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in Yahweh’s house forever. -

Some times you have to take a stand.... Bo Norrman, Sweden "First they came for the communists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me." Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) -

Richard Pauli Seattle, Washington Lets not forget that organized and well funded cyber sweatshops are created for just this kind PR manipulation. One goal is to promote confusion, and another is to torment and tarnish heroes. Such acts by our adversaries can amount to high praise. About 10 years ago, I recall scanning the web for more information about climate issues. It was just this kind of crude denialism that pushed me to discover both Climate Progress and Real Climate - sites I would have discovered far later without the vitriol directed their way. From the very beginning, the Web has been a battleground of public opinion. Fortunately there are tremendous resources that trump the purposeful misinformation and distraction. Whenever rash cyber-bullying is involved, it should suggest the issue is worth careful consideration. Thanks Skeptical Science for all that you do. -

The website owners are aware of my name and can certainly add it to letter. However, I'd like to point out that this kind of vitriolic campaign is probably felt by many politicians of all sorts of political stripes around the world. This kind of behavior is more common than you'd like to think. -

CRV9 at 02:33 AM on 2 July 2012Madness over sea level rise in North Carolina
Thank you, Tom Curtis. I just hope you don't expect me to understand those details fully(of course not, what I'm thinking). Detals are usually too technical and difficult for me with less education to understand fully. I'd guess "Devil is in details" to many scientists but to me personally it is the big picture. But of course, the details do help me to understand the big picture better and clearer to satisfy my personal curiosity. As long as I get the basic big picture, I'd rather let the experts sweat over the details. My personal big picture is this. I see AGW as the energy budget. That's it. Because once we got energy on the earth they have to go somewhere in some forms or shapes. Energy just doesn't disappear until dispate out to space. This temperature thing people are talking about seems to me is short sighted. To me it is one of forms of trapped energy apearances/symptoms(told you, I have a simplton's mind). For example latent heat which I've learned new here, the fact the stmosphere is holding more vapor now means holding more latent therman energy in the atmosphere. More ice are metling in water and land and not replenished is thermal energy was turned into water from ice. To me global climate is part of the earth's natural mechanism to even out or dispate or distribute thermal energy she catches from sunlight. More trapped thermal energy means to me is forcing the earth's mechnism/climate to adapt to new paradigm, thus climate changes. Of course, the earth is not standing still so it's dynamic. I think that it tries to reach equilibrium of natural cycles. Some poeple say the unusual warm temperature of 1998 of El Nino was an anomaly. I don't think so because extra heat was coming from the lower layer of oeasns where the heat was stored from the trapped heat above prior which I've learn new here too. So the trapped heat was finally coming out again. Energy doesn't just disappear, I beleive. So I'd foolishly belive we will see another record warm El Nino again someday. I'm probably making a fool of myself but I always wanted to say this somewhere. (and pardon me, english is my learned language) -

michael sweet at 22:26 PM on 1 July 2012It's Urban Heat Island effect
Koyaanisqatsi, When uncorrected data is compared there is no statistical difference between rural and urban sites. GISS has pointed out that they only lower urban measurements. Detailed comparisons show that some urban sites are lower than nearby rural sites. These data are never raised. That means that the UHI corrections result in a small lowering of the estimated temperature trend from the actual trend. The difference is not statistically significant. The estimated trend is left too low to be conservative. UHI is constantly raised by fake skeptics to muddy the waters. In reality, it is a very small effect that does not alter measured temperature trends. -

Hi all, I'm a biochemistry student at the University of Oxford, and some of the stuff I'm finding here is shocking. There's a complete lack of adherence to the scientific method, very few peer-reviewed studies and logical fallacies everywhere. Don't even get me started on the science, either.Moderator Response: [Rob P] Please note the comments policy. If you're here to discuss actual science, then do so. There are plenty of websites on the internet where empty rhetoric is acceptable. SkS is not one of those sites. -

These emails are predictably appalling and it is singularly instructive that they lack structure, punctuation, correct spelling and continuity of thought. If these morons cannot even spell, what is the chance of them understanding that climate science has some nuance? Or that it is the hard working climate scientists who are most acting in the service of future humanity? Well done Phil and well done to all working scientists whatever their field of (often thankless) endeavour. You inspire many people on a daily basis and should not forget that. Sign me on.
