Was that rhetorical? That question I've answered many times... gets to the ultra stupid level, don't you [think]? Will you ever figure out that 0.1% flux is meaningless and even when it lasts 70 years [as in the Maunder minimum, or less long in the Dalton min] it will only make 0.2-0.3C difference... that for sure is the hurdle you'll never be able to scale as extensively exhibited, but we can always [hope], so lets try again: The total solar watts output and variation is displayed on the left Y-AXIS [top of atmosphere, before entry].



The boxcar line is still there for SORCE... the 2003 average was 0,00909918% higher than this running year 2011.

In the land of the [willfully] blind, Colombo is king.

Food for thought, but not to all!

P.S., Above chart was extended to 2000, to fit ACRIM-III data in [for that claim of much higher solar activity for 2000-2002]. Can you see how much more solar irradiance there was before 2003? Yes, you can and you may thank me for that too. The scientists have been seen it much longer... it started with Arrhenius, Langley, Keeling, Schneider, yes and Hansen too. Whilst not going anywhere today, do take the time to actually [think]... it's not difficult to figure it out, but plz do it without the magic factor... I at least have stopped believing in that, before you were born. The tophat is empty long as Tommy Cooper is not around.

P.P.S. ["I'm not the blinkered one. I can see clearly what is happening."] Really? The "Temp Leads Carbon" Crock: Updated

Did you watch the videos? Did you see Dr. Richard Alley explain 1 of 3 Milankovic movements to the congressional committee... one taking 41,000 years, the other 2 taking 23,000 and 100,000 years respectively... latter so happens to be the Ice-age duration... we're thought [those that do], to possibly having already delayed the next ice age by 50,000 years, which gives the distinct possibility it might never return [we'll never know, those who're alive today]. For very long periods of time, such when CO2 in the air was magnitudes higher and the sun then was MUCH less intense then these millenniums and we're not talking just a few watts. The planet was one big mega flora and fauna world, no frozen over Arctic... but then, there were no 7 billion puny humans to cut that down.. it needed few to extinguish the dapper dodo.

Food for thought... well you know, those staying put have the time.

P.S. Do get a copy of the Naomi Oreskes book "Merchants of Doubt": The world may have been gullivered, by those funding the Heartland, the George Marchall Institute and more of these shady enterprises... hmmm would Rupert be in with them?

What's to do if an ebola type epidemic hits New York. There are several recent feature movies out on that, the unthinkable, but those scenarios are developed in case off just that. We're messing with the gene-pool and messing in GM, and we don'ty know what that can mutate / evolve into.

BTW, I do like to remind you that the world is bigger than your America... in fact the world is concerned that <5% of world population acts and behaves as if it's all theirs... <5% using 30% of world resources and producing 30% of the waste. What's floating in the oceans, those huge fields of plastic is in large part the product of God blessed America.

And just how far did those French Sailor's get from Alaska to Svalbard?

Now let me see where is Prudhoe Bay

Enjoyed that, the mission failure so you can continue the "not enough data" handwaving? Old news, David Authums, to sum it up, battery problems forced them back... not a suicide mission. BUT, in that 30 day trip they still managed to acquire a bunch of data for the Cryosat-2 validation... other science teams will be able to use that too, PIOMAS for instance. Here the data presented on their annual movement in volume, that swings in the range of 15,000 to 18,000 cubic kilometers... from maximum to minimum:



Now why is that Sea Ice volume on a declining curve? Hard question followed by empty noise, just like extreme weather is hiding that the planet is really warming.

Food for thought, but not for all!
