The medieval warm period, when all the Yamal data is used, without cherry picking, shows up clearly as warmer than the present. There is nothing unusual in the warmth of the last half century.<br /><br />The IPCC also says that “Most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic GHG concentrations.” Why?<br /><br />Because “Observed patterns of warming and their changes [in the last 50 years] are simulated only by models that include anthropogenic forcings.”<br /><br />If the models couldn’t simulate the changes of the last 50 years without including “anthropogenic forcings”, which are due to “the observed increase in anthropogenic GHG concentrations”, they could not possibly simulate the warmer medieval era either, without these “anthropogenic forcings”.<br /><br />This is enigmatic. There were no “anthropogenic forcings” in the medieval era.<br />Could it then possibly be there is something commonly wrong in all these climate models?<br /><br />Also if there is nothing unusual in the warmth of the last half century, then where is the cause for alarm? Why are we spending billions of dollars trying to alleviate or avoid a problem that doesnt exist? Why must we shut down our power plants, curtail our manufacturing and production, reduce our gross national products and legislate global poverty as a solution to a threat that doesnt exist?<br /><br />We are spending billions of dollars frantically trying to button up the Emperors new coat only to discover he has no clothes.Richardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553223153127316311.post-41367296027832163672010-08-16T03:55:31.485+05:302010-08-16T03:55:31.485+05:30completely of 'temperature' and the quanti...completely of 'temperature' and the quantity of refutation makes worthless the concept of doing such, regardless of tree/species numbers.<br /><br />When a 'modern' situation IS known, ALL the determinate of such would ALSO need to be validly defined for ANY period one attempted to produce such inference, regardless of 'when' such a period was.<br /><br />This has included soil structure, composition, humidity, global surface position, inter-flora 'species competition/symbiosis' (within a forest or other community, not all 'plants' are 'tress' i.e. have woody trunks) along with nutrient and water availability.<br /><br />In terms of any validation measures (from suitable apparatus capable of 'reproducible measures'), this is limited to only the past 200 years.<br /><br />Too many unknowns produces too many assumptions..Kumar Cnoreply@blogger.com
