16 years 9 months, crazy fast global warming

  1. The Earth is gaining heat faster than ever

    In 2013 the Earth’s oceans accumulated energy at a rate of 12 Hiroshima atomic bombs per second, according to global ocean heat content records from the US National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). This rapid heating in 2013 compares to an average of 4 Hiroshima bombs per second since 1998, and 2 bombs per second since records began in 1955.

    what joke... ... thats from the disgraced hansen? the one who was ejected from NASA?
    The models were predicting temperature gains over land not the ocean.

    We also know the oceans release co2 as they warm... so it was the sun heating the oceans which released co2.
    you are not trying to claim the oceans release the co2 and then the co2 warms the oceans are you? I would like you to show how that works using science.

    thats from the disgraced hansen? the one who was ejected from NASA? Remember your nutter models were predicting temp gains over land not the ocean.


    see here is the graph that shows change in ocean temps lead co2 changes up and down
    See how nice the green follows the blue. That is because the sun warms the oceans and the oceans release co2... this is reality. co2 follows and lags change in ocean temperature.

    I think you are finally beginning to understand you have no science.

  4. A look at the Earth's total heat content clearly shows global warming has continued past 1998. The planet is still accumulating heat. So why do surface temperature records show 1998 as the hottest year on record? We see in Figure 1 that the heat capacity of the land and atmosphere is small compared to the ocean. Hence, relatively small exchanges of heat between the atmosphere and ocean can cause significant changes in surface temperature.

  5. Like we need any more proof that jem is a piece of shit liar.

    Jem claims Hansen was "ejected" from NASA...

    Hansen retired from NASA in April 2013, saying he planned to take a more active role in the political and legal efforts to limit greenhouse gases.[78] The same month, the National Center for Science Education, an organization noted for defending the teaching of evolution in United States science classrooms, named Hansen as an advisor to support the extension of its area of concern into the teaching of climate change.[79]

  6. Honors and awards[edit]
    Hansen was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1996 for his "development of pioneering radiative transfer models and studies of planetary atmospheres; development of simplified and three-dimensional global climate models; explication of climate forcing mechanisms; analysis of current climate trends from observational data; and projections of anthropogenic impacts on the global climate system."[86] In 2001, he received the 7th Annual Heinz Award in the Environment (endowed with US$250,000) for his research on global warming,[87] and was listed as one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in 2006. Also in 2006, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) selected James Hansen to receive its Award for Scientific Freedom and Responsibility "for his courageous and steadfast advocacy in support of scientists' responsibilities to communicate their scientific opinions and findings openly and honestly on matters of public importance."[88]
    In 2007, Hansen shared the US $1-million Dan David Prize for "achievements having an outstanding scientific, technological, cultural or social impact on our world". In 2008, he received the PNC Bank Common Wealth Award of Distinguished Service for his "outstanding achievements" in science. At the end of 2008, Hansen was named by EarthSky Communications and a panel of 600 scientist-advisors as the Scientist Communicator of the Year, citing him as an "outspoken authority on climate change" who had "best communicated with the public about vital science issues or concepts during 2008."[89]
    In 2009, Hansen was awarded the 2009 Carl-Gustaf Rossby Research Medal,[89] the highest honor bestowed by the American Meteorological Society, for his "outstanding contributions to climate modeling, understanding climate change forcings and sensitivity, and for clear communication of climate science in the public arena."[90]
    Hansen won the 2010 Sophie Prize, set up in 1997 by Norwegian Jostein Gaarder, the author of the 1991 best-selling novel and teenagers' guide to philosophy Sophie's World,[91] for his " key role for the development of our understanding of human-induced climate change."
    Foreign Policy named Hansen one of its 2012 FP Top 100 Global Thinkers "for sounding the alarm on climate change, early and often".[92]
    In December 2012, Hansen received the Commonwealth Club of California’s annual Stephen H. Schneider Award for Outstanding Climate Science Communications at a ceremony in San Francisco[93]
    On November 7, 2013 Hansen received the Joseph Priestley Award at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania "...for his work advancing our understanding of climate change, including the early application of numerical models to better understand observed climate trends and to project humans' impact on climate, and for his leadership in promoting public understanding of climate and linking the knowledge to action on climate policy." He delivered a lecture, entitled, "White House Arrest and the Climate Crisis," later that same day at Anita Tuvin Schlechter Auditorium on the college's campus.[94]



    It is this kind of great human and scientist that sick ignorant deluded righties disparage. Pathetic creatures they are.

    I finally got a copy of Tyson's remake of Cosmos. Great show.

    and a long look shows the ocean has been heating since the last ice age. you are some sort of buffoon troll right?

  10. So as long as we are all clear that jerm is a lying sack of shit, let's move on....

    Key Points:

    The ocean is quickly accumulating heat and is doing so at an increased rate at depth during the so-called “hiatus” – a period over the last 16 years during which average global surface temperatures have risen at a slower rate than previous years.

    This continued accumulation of heat is apparent in ocean temperature observations, as well as reanalysis and modeling experiments, and is now supported by up-to-date assessments of Earth's energy imbalance.

    Another key piece of evidence is rising global sea level. The expansion of the oceans (as they warm) has contributed to 35–40% of sea level rise over the last two decades - providing independent corroboration of the increase in ocean temperatures.
