Comment on Consensus or not (?) by stefanthedenier
@ Norm Kalmanovich; Norm, you are molesting the truth on a more gentle way. You state: ''we ALL know that the planet has warmed since the little ice age'' LIE, LIE!!! Correct it, please: - ''you are...

My thought is it doesn’t appear to have much to do with the topic of this post….. Unless your theory reconsiders the role of the sun.

Chris, Are you suggesting Hansen has been proven right?

Doc, the problem is that both the Earth and the Sun have independent harmonics. It is like tuning a guitar with another. If they are it a little out of tune and it doesn’t. So you only “see” some peaks...

Judith Curry Thanks for posting some good stuff. The Lean presentation is very interesting. It’s always interesting to see what solar scientists are thinking, and she appears to be one of the best. It...

Chris Your choosing of 1997 for the two periods as start and end points (http://bit.ly/xFJErP) is a “clever trick” of obfuscation because it is a discontinuity in global mean temperature as the...

Anteros You’re going to have to run me through your arithmetic. Here’s mine: Let’s say IPCC projected warming of 0.2C per decade for the first decades of the new century. This is a projection of 0.4°C...

Max, thanks for the exchange, and the more friendly approach above. I’m fine with this as a summary (and tell me if you agree with this summary or not!) (1) We both agree that 10 year windows don’t...

Lindzen and Spencer have yet to come to grips with the fact that the Second Law of Thermodynamics also applies to radiation, meaning there can be no radiative forcing by any GH effect. Hence, at night...

Chris, Swanson’s RC post is another way of looking at it. The 1976/1977 and 1998/2001 events are extreme events assoiated with chaotic bifurcation. ‘We develop the concept of “dragon-kings”...

Your “absolutely nothing wrong with it” paper clearly claims that the Earth’s surface receives thermal energy which is radiated from the atmosphere. This would be a violation of the Second Law of...

So decadal natural variability cancels out? In the 20th century it cancels out to a residual trend of 0.08 degrees C/decade. So what’s the freakin’ problem? And it’s cooling for a decade or three more....

@Markus Yep, definitely 74.8% anthropogenic and only 25.2% natural. I’d hate to misrepresent you on that little detail. If you found an error I’d greatly appreciate your drawing it to my attention. If...

The proper way to show that some rule is wrong is to find and show counter examples, so I did. The same thing shows regularly in the record, or in any auto-correlated random series. Here are a couple...
