Tonyb asks: “If I had said two years ago ’look, sea level is falling’ what reply would you have given me?”
TonyB, if I were as good and foresighted a scientist as Hansen, then I would have fearlessly and publicly predicted acceleration of the rate of sea-level rise this decade.
And so far, Hansen’s fearless and public prediction is looking pretty good, eh?
Are you as fearless and foresighted a scientist as Hansen, TonyB? Do you have any predictions to offer?
Max, you fail to rasp the full implications of the source that you cite.
Here’s the money quote
“Usually modest warming (1-4C) counteracted positive effects of doubled [CO2] on yeild.”
and
“Predictions of effects of rising [CO2] on wheat yield carry with them intrinsic uncertainty”

(This comment got lost so am re-sending.)
Anti-frackers are screaming about frack water polluting the ground water and you write “the water used gets injected into shale, never to be recovered again.”
(I personally believe you’re right on that one, based on the info I’ve seen.)
But how much water is diverted from agriculture for fracking?
Apparently agriculture uses 240 times as much water as fracking, so this does not seem to be a major problem. (Even in drought-prone Texas, fracking only consumes 3% as much water as agriculture, and companies are working on methods to use LPG or other hydrocarbons as fracking fluids.)

Webster, “He doesn’t care because he knows that all the other deniers won’t call him on it. That’s what FUD is for.”
What would you like it fit to?
Maybe HADcrappy 30-30 with instructions?

Perhaps, CET?

I was actually hoping the Rev would call me on it, but he is just a parrot minion.
Nice duck Rev.
I suppose your comment about people discussing people is not discussing people.
And staying classy? is that discussing people?
Discussing people is not categorically different than discusssing ideas.
Now gossip, that’s different.
I don’t know how to convert bagels into Watts.
Glad to be of help, Reverend.
Recipe for 6 bagels calls for preheating (4000 W oven using upper heat) to 250C and baking for ~20 minutes.
Preheat takes ~10 minutes
30 min * 4000W = 2000 Watt-hours for 6 bagels
1 bagel = 333 Watt-hours.
Let me know anytime that basic math baffles you (always glad to help out a man of the cloth).

Hole Kim? what hole? prove there is a hole. have jim cripwell measure it.
off topic
beautiful film below.
Max, “1 bagel = 333 Watt-hours.”
333 +/- 10 to be fair
‘“.. there may be an interesting addition we can make to their data to constrain the estimate even more.” Dude? you mean like quadrants? That’s like mind blowing.”
No extending the record further back in time.
Alinsky again. Tiresome.
So, the combined land and ocean is ready for debut? Did you notice how I used the BEST forcing from a 1985 to 1995 baseline with three sensitivity ranges? 0.8, 1.6 and 3.0 C per doubling. Then just let it flow backwards.
Quadrants though is not a bad idea. You get to compare zonal and meridional variability plus dig out a longer term secular trend if you are of such a mind.
Your insults are juvenile and your science is about the same level of sophistication.
yes, odd that.
…”see if you can answer the question…”
Hi Josh…See here we are again, this is not a cool guy query, why Don likes to hump your leg. Lots of people like to hump your leg, as you put it. It’s actually more the law of the jungle than the playground. Strong dominates weak. Why? Because it can…
But why do you care so much? Don’s tough, but generally fair. And yet you go after J.C. like a rabid dogs at times. Over literally just about nothing. Live by the sword, etc etc…
That’s about it. In a nutshell so to speak. I mean “nutshell.”
Max. You’re failing to take the thermostat into account. What percentage of the time is the element on? Probably less than 50.
I missed your work sorry. pointer?
oceans has been done for a long time, finishing the write up delays stuff. right now— super high res fields ( both temporal and spatial ) are on the top of the heap
Steven, It is not really a work, it is a tease for the Rev.

The Oppo indo-pacific warm pool reconstruction was binned specifically for splicing to instrumental
http://redneckphysics.blogspot.com/2013/05/how-to-splice-instrumental-data-to.html
Remarkable fit to every instrumental record though there is a small shift of 10 years required for best fit.
Looking forward to playing with the BEST L&O
Steve Mosher says to the Reverend:” I suppose your comment about people discussing people is not discussing people.”
Ouch. Not pretty Reverend. I almost feel badly for you.
