So where have we heard and ignored these arguments – in exactly the same words – before?

Joshua,
I would really like to know why you do what you do and say what you say on this blog. There may be others as well. Do you know? Do you have the humility to tell us? Where are you coming from? What is your knowledge base?

Comment on Week in review by Mike Flynn
Rob Ellison,
“VRF systems benefits from the advantages of linear step control in conjunction with inverter and constant speed compressor combination, which allows more precise control of the necessary refrigerant circulation amount required according to the system load.” – course notes – ISO 14001 and ISO 4001 certified organisation – current as far as I know.
I must apologise to Johanna. If her air conditioner is a fairly recent purchase, it may not have a fixed speed compressor as well as a variable speed scroll compressor. Mine did. Technolological improvements allow the use of a scroll compressor by itself, in many cases.
As to being horrendously politically incorrect, you are probably correct. I believe in free speech, for a start.
Once again, many thanks for your comments. It gives me solace to know that you think my comments worthy of consideration and reply. It’s my pleasure.
Live well and prosper,
Mike Flynn.

More evidence as to why Arctic sea ice will continue to decline and why increasing ocean heat content has real world implications and doesn’t just “harmlessly diffuse”:

Joshua, I confess that I had to look up ‘denizen’ ( ‘an inhabitant or occupant of a particular place.’ )
Given your posting frequency, you definitely qualify – why not contribute?

Recently did an Arctic refresh. Subject to future observation, of course,
but it appears as if Arctic sea ice recently started surviving to be older:
And consequently thicker:

Where have you heard this before Rob Ellison? Well the peer-reviewed paper on core and surface temperatures in all planets first appeared in February 2013, but you may have read some of the dozens of comments from our group in <a href="http://www.drroyspencer.com/2015/02/uah-global-temperature-update-for-jan-2015-0-35-deg-c/#comment-181419" rel="nofollow">this</a> thread, or on about 500 social media threads, or been one of nearly 5,000 visitors to the group's website in the last 6 weeks.

The recent increase in ohc however is not global,it is local and mostly confined to the extra tropical southern ocean.The inversions (and observations) suggest transport is ballistic and not diffusion ie wind driven and not radiative hence a constraint on model behavior.

Wendy, this is very repetitive. Doug Cotton has written hundreds of similar comments. Several months ago I had a thread Gravito-thermal discussion thread http://judithcurry.com/2014/12/01/gravito-thermal-discussion-thread/, its closed now. Please keep your comments short and very few if they are going to be on this same topic

This quote, from the researchers:
“We studied the warm body of water from the Atlantic that represents the largest oceanic input of heat into the Arctic – it is four degrees Celsius warmer than the surrounding water, and it is the warmest it has been in nearly two thousand years…”
____
As pointed out in multiple other studies, the Atlantic water entering the Arctic is the warmest it has been in nearly two-thousand years. Setting aside the cause of this warmer water for a moment (as the cause may be complex and multiple), what the research specifically looked at is how this warmer Atlantic water actually melts the ice since it is “sandwiched” between two colder layers. The study makes the point that over the long-term, the more the ice is melted, the more likely for tidal mixing to occur that the warmer layer can get mixed into the upper colder layer and cause greater melting. We see this during large Arctic cyclones, such as we saw during early Aug. 2012 (The so-called Great Arctic Cyclone of 2012). Warmer water was brought up from depth and caused a great deal of flash melting of the sea ice. How much this single cyclone impacted the record low sea ice that summer is hard to say, but it could have been significant.

Rob,
Been using NOAA, but up/down arrows are regional and after all I’m supposed to be learning about something “global”. And, they don’t have the same effect as the squiggly lines that some prefer. Will add this to my bookmarks. Thanks for that.

How do you keep from being snide on Bill Nye, after you’ve been to Our Mr. Sun with Hemo the Magnificent? Yes, I remember his name.

PG,
If you have any interest in integrity then seeing comments like Nye’s should raise a red flag. The shift in terminology from global warming to climate change was purposeful and based on concerns about public perception, not any shift in scientific understanding of the issue. Comments such as Bill Nye’s to Joy Reid are a deliberate and dishonest attempt to con people. They are smart enough to figure out few citizens are likely to listen to anyone decrying the threat of global warming when ass deep in snow.

Thanks, Matt. I gotta H/t Thomas Sowell, muse for that one. His prose is thundering, even deafening.

Except that politicians and their appointees make policy and to the best of my knowledge, they rarely display any skill in math.

> I really do a good faith search for data that challenges my skepticism, but I keep coming up short
Yes. I’ve been trying for over 20 years now with similar results
Empirical evidence vs hypothesis over many time scales – an impossible Gordian knot, it seems
And then we add the “what to do, what to do” dimension. This prevents the Gordian from being sliced through as in the fable
