Once again, FC is posting charts with Y-axis improvisions that attempt to show a minor temperature increase of below 0.07 degrees C change in ocean temperature over the past 10 years as a hockey stick end of the world. The ocean warming is much less than the 'climate change models' have proposed. As noted by ARGO, the measured ocean warming is less than the instrument error. Effectively this means there is no meaningful warming from 1960 to 2012. The yottajoule (YJ) is equal to one septillion (10^24) joules. This is approximately the amount of energy required to heat the entire volume of water on Earth by 1 °Celsius. The axis scale of your chart is in 10^22 joules. The chart demonstrates an increase of under 0.17 yottajoules - worst case over time. This would represent a temperature incease of 0.17 °Celsius. The actual observed ocean temperature increase since 1960 is 0.06 °Celsius - which is less than the instrument error, and much less than the proposed models on your fabricated chart. The climate change cabal has tried to claim that more heat was hiding in both the 0m to 700m and the 700m to 2000m ocean layer as an explanation why measured global temperatures have not been rising for 16 years - this has proven not to be true. Why don't you plot your chart using temperature as a scale on the axis. Looks far less scary and alarmist. You can go to the ARGO website to generate graphs of actual data. This is the original chart from ARGO of ocean temperature using default axis units THIS is your chart on alarmism. This wikipedia link includes a complete summary about ARGO (Array for Real-time Geostrophic Oceanography) and includes links to the ARGO website that provides raw data and charting capabilities. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argo_(oceanography)
Ha ha GWB, could you be any more of a liar and fraud ? Do you think everyone is as clueless about charts as you are? LOL
Greenhouse gasses, principally CO2, have controlled most ancient climate changes. This time around humans are the cause, mainly by our CO2 emissions. But there have been several times in Earthâs past when Earth's temperature jumped abruptly, in much the same way as they are doing today. Those times were caused by large and rapid greenhouse gas emissions, just like humans are causing today. Those abrupt global warming events were almost always highly destructive for life, causing mass extinctions such as at the end of the Permian, Triassic, or even mid-Cambrian periods. The symptoms from those events (a big, rapid jump in global temperatures, rising sea levels, and ocean acidification) are all happening today with human-caused climate change. So yes, the climate has changed before humans, and in most cases scientists know why. In all cases we see the same association between CO2 levels and global temperatures. And past examples of rapid carbon emissions (just like today) were generally highly destructive to life on Earth.
As noted by ARGO there have been many times in the past 4000 years where the ocean temperature has obviously 0.5 degrees C above or below the current temperature. A 0.06 degree C increase from 1960 until now is pretty meaningless in the big picture. Unfortunately a world-wide ocean temperature array has only been in place since 1960, which means the alarmists have been free to assert that a mere 0.6 degree increase in ocean temperature is some type of impending disaster for mankind. It is not. In terms of ocean level, in or around 500AD the ocean level in many spots was at minimum 3 meters higher than it is today. This is documented in many historical accounts worldwide - including the fact that most of coastal France was underwater at this time leading to the displacement of large segments of the population for at least 100 years.
"Great human and scientist"? For fudging data and pushing the AGW scam? All these "awards" show is the extent to which the AGW scam has been politicized. Here's what Hansen's former boss at NASA says about him. James Hansenâs Former NASA Supervisor Declares Himself a Skeptic Says Hansen âEmbarrassed NASAâ & âWas Never Muzzledâ http://www.epw.senate.gov/public/in...ecord_id=1a5e6e32-802a-23ad-40ed-ecd53cd3d320 And here's more about Hansen's "legacy." EDITORIAL: Exit Jim Hansen NASAâs hot-air scientist cashes in James E. Hansen will no longer be touring the country preaching his end-times hysteria, collecting a $158,832 government paycheck for it. Mr. Hansen demonstrated a certain mastery of the art of leveraging, using his position as head of NASAâs Goddard Institute for Space Studies to promote a personal brand of global warming quackery. On Tuesday, Mr. Hansen announced his retirement. The vaudeville circuit wonât be the same. Read more at: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/apr/4/exit-jim-hansen/#ixzz34iz6zCo8
It is interesting to note that most of these awards are given to politicians and not scientists. It simply serves to demonstrate that Hansen is a political operator and not a scientist.
Here's an excerpt from an IPCC report showing how so-called climatologists' models FAILED spectacularly to the high side during the pause fraudcurrents claims didn't happen that is shown here (observed temps are the thick black lines).
Thank you for showing that the models did not fail. Even without the probability bands this is obvious. What else you got?
as I stated ejected after this... March 28, 2012 The Honorable Charles Bolden, Jr. NASA Administrator NASA Headquarters Washington, D.C. 20546-0001 Dear Charlie, We, the undersigned, respectfully request that NASA and the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) refrain from including unproven remarks in public releases and websites. We believe the claims by NASA and GISS, that man-made carbon dioxide is having a catastrophic impact on global climate change are not substantiated, especially when considering thousands of years of empirical data. With hundreds of well-known climate scientists and tens of thousands of other scientists publicly declaring their disbelief in the catastrophic forecasts, coming particularly from the GISS leadership, it is clear that the science is NOT settled. The unbridled advocacy of CO2 being the major cause of climate change is unbecoming of NASAâs history of making an objective assessment of all available scientific data prior to making decisions or public statements. As former NASA employees, we feel that NASAâs advocacy of an extreme position, prior to a thorough study of the possible overwhelming impact of natural climate drivers is inappropriate. We request that NASA refrain from including unproven and unsupported remarks in its future releases and websites on this subject. At risk is damage to the exemplary reputation of NASA, NASAâs current or former scientists and employees, and even the reputation of science itself. For additional information regarding the science behind our concern, we recommend that you contact Harrison Schmitt or Walter Cunningham, or others they can recommend to you. Thank you for considering this request. Sincerely, (Attached signatures) CC: Mr. John Grunsfeld, Associate Administrator for Science CC: Ass Mr. Chris Scolese, Director, Goddard Space Flight Center Ref: Letter to NASA Administrator Charles Bolden, dated 3-26-12, regarding a request for NASA to refrain from making unsubstantiated claims that human produced CO2 is having a catastrophic impact on climate change. /s/ Jack Barneburg, Jack â JSC, Space Shuttle Structures, Engineering Directorate, 34 years /s/ Larry Bell â JSC, Mgr.
