@hausfath@dr_piotr@JackLee16921415 In theory. These are theories with large error bars.
US temperature record unadjusted, sea level rise rates, arctic and Antarctic sea ice extent, CO2 concentration, satellite LT infrared readings. These are things with small error bars
And yes they indicate gentle warming
@hausfath@dr_piotr@JackLee16921415 The measured (and manipulated) data show a dip for 40 years but that’s written off based on conjecture, meanwhile we aren’t allowed to question the validity of thermometer placement adjustments and extrapolations in the third world
@hausfath@dr_piotr@JackLee16921415 So if they are long lived in the upper atmosphere why hasn’t the cooling signal from 1940-1980 continued? I can accept an increase in UHI from cleaner air locally but the increase in CO2 has been fairly linear since it’s been measured in Hawaii, but now a dramatic heating trend?
@WHPAADDD@hausfath@JackLee16921415 Though this green line is believable as we are coming out of a little ice age. Sea level has been rising for 10,000 years
@dr_piotr@hausfath@JackLee16921415 You can start by rereading my post and realizing that’s not what I’m saying
Aerosols physically block sunlight and were concentrated over cities in the form of smog. Obviously not a factor in say central Africa.
But AGW theory says CO2 is evenly dispersed thus GLOBAL warming
@hausfath@JackLee16921415 Smog is a local phenomenon and can affect UHI in cities but if we are looking globally it’s a stretch to say it was canceling carbon emissions for 40 years
@hausfath@JackLee16921415 The surface record from 1940-1980 contradicts global warming theory. It is a happy coincidence for warmists that the satellite record started at a major low point (1978) in average temps.
@Joe_Gerth@AndySwan Also limiting the right to vote: Chavez, Maduro. Venezuela is not third world because of selective voting laws. It’s third world because NO votes matter.
@Joe_Gerth@AndySwan Voting is an active, not passive, function, as much as Democrats dismay with their dead voters remaining on the rolls. Maybe it’s time for a purge and it’s on our citizens to actively check our registered status. I do it anyway every year
@Joe_Gerth@AndySwan You only have to prove who you are when you register to vote. This is hardly a tremendous inconvenience to someone who feels a civic duty to vote. If voting was mandatory (like taxes) maybe you have an argument
@Joe_Gerth@AndySwan Your wife doesn’t drive? Doesn’t purchase alcohol? The Venn diagram of avid voters and eligible voters without ID would show very little overlap
@Joe_Gerth@AndySwan The same amount of proof that illegals don’t vote in our elections.
The difference is the media can never find a potential voter who stays at home because they lack ID. Because that dude would be all over CNN
@Joe_Gerth@AndySwan The number of illegals voting (not widespread) is surely equal to or more than the number of legals who can’t get ID (also not widespread)
