Comment on Week in review by D o u g   C o t t o n

Yes, I agree that 0.6 degree per century is close to the long-term trend which can only be estimated by removing the effect of the superimposed 60 year cycle. In the Appendix of my paper “Radiated Energy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics” I estimated that was the rate about 100 years ago, whilst now the rate has slowed to about 0,5 or maybe 0.4 degree per century. That is because we are approaching the maximum within 100 years before 500 years of cooling, similar to that before the Little Ice Age.

Hi Mike.

Have you got his email address so I can tell Pierrehumbert where his writings have errors? Maybe you and he should try double glazed insulation with moist air rather than the usual dry air (or even argon) that is known to give the best insulating effect. When you introduce water vapour into the gap, or into the troposphere, you expedite the loss of energy, you lower the temperature gradient (aka wet adiabatic lapse rate) and you lower the supported surface temperature, as empirical evidence shows without a shadow of a doubt. So of course Pierrehumbert is seriously wrong. The whole radiative forcing “fissics” is a travesty of thermodynamics and physics in general.
 

Pierrehumbert has no correct understanding of all this.

Steyn describes Laden as a “weird creepy fringe obsessives.” I don’t have a Twitter account so maybe I am not up to speed on acceptable behavior on Twitter.

So here is my question: Does peeking into the Twitter profile of someone you don’t know personally qualify as “weird, creepy fringe, obsessive behavior?

The Auditor could put his big boy boots on and go out and core his own trees.

He has.

Or did you mean our local dwarf?

Different methodology entirely – one is discussing the limitations of island biogeography theory and global warming and one is looking at abundance of flagship species. 52% on average reduction in 3,038 species of mammals, birds, amphibian, reptile and fish.

Below a critical number – populations crash. So while known extinctions occurred in the 21st century – http://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/animals/photos/10-animals-presumed-extinct-in-the-last-decade/gone-the-way-of-the-dodo – this rate is very likely to accelerate dramatically. This sort of science is about as solid as it gets in biology.

Greg Laden appears not to care about ethics, standards nor hypocrisy but only in pushing a dishonest meme.

And the farm animals unable to respond with intelligent thought make noises.

Besides which – I would call it fringe progressive extremism rather than liberal ideology. Classic liberal ideology emerges from the scientific enlightenment – it is far from that.

Dwarves could take offense, AK.

Have you inspected the 1:100 selection lately, or are you still silent on that matter?

Newton brought new methods of mathematics and descriptions of physical laws that have panned out and which anybody could use. Though he did keep calculus secret for a while.

Mann has made giant show of his hockey stick which nobody seems to be able to replicate.

BTW, I win the bet that you couldn’t accurately describe the criticisms of Mann’s work.

Steyn’s tone and message is the same as many commenters on this blog. Congratulations Dr. Curry, your blog reads much the same as Steyn pieces.

<blockquote>Have you inspected the 1:100 selection lately, or are you still silent on that matter?</blockquote>I've been reading the arguments at CA. Have you noticed what a beating <a href="http://climateaudit.org/2014/10/01/sliming-by-stokes/#comment-733637" rel="nofollow">Nick Stokes is taking?</a> Why should I say anything when an expert like McSteve is explaining far better than I could? With plenty of help, some of it already probably too amateur.

Doh! bob just own goaled.

here is clue. bob.

There are some people ,, when you challenge them to down their own science. well, they actually do it.

Win? Bet?

Self-declared victories relating to uni-laterally imposed demands sound like empty rhetoric.

“Mann has made giant show of his hockey stick which nobody seems to be able to replicate.” – TJA

Pages2K.

The neverending attacks on Mann and the HS, 16 years on, are political, not scientific.

As long as you understand that, it all makes sense.

But, to be fair, Nick Stokes <a href="http://climateaudit.org/2014/10/01/sliming-by-stokes/#comment-733579" rel="nofollow">has admitted to a mistake.</a>

Rob,

That’s not much of a prediction.

Judith knows that Mann-posts are very popular.

It’s always a big food-fight.

That’s the whole idea.

Victor, Even for the climate debate Hottie Wopper is exceptional for its vitriol, ad hominums, and just plain wrong stuff. There are some people who are so partisan, they like that. But its actually worse than WUWT perhaps because anonymity leads to more irresponsible behavior. Miriam what’s her name has no expectation of privacy on the web and I am surprised that you are so silly as to say its unethical to “out” her. That just reveals a skewed ethical sense but you seem to me to generally be one to like double standards, a lax one for you and your partisans and a stricter one for those you don’t like.
