Japs don't think so- https://notrickszone.com/2019/11/27/more-real-data...




For anyone interested in the debacle on that other thread between me and another person, I spoke to the author of the paper regarding 11602 papers which gave a 100% consensus. He didn't agree with me at all. He had no issue with papers having no mention of climate or global warming within them, because the authors of those papers 'obviously implied it', and because it came up within his search, he took it at face value.
The word 'climate' now only means anthropogenic climate change.
I got as far as:

"Today we look at the (untampered) data from the Japan Meteorology Agency (JMA) for some stations across northern Europe for the month of October."

Raw data
Cherry-picked small samples

= not worth going any further.

Good decision. It really doesn't rise from that low start.

You said you’d post your question and his answer.

Not going to come through with that?

How does the 'recently' found geothermal heat affect this? - particularly for the Western ice sheet...
That's land based and not sea ice I think.
They are active volcanoes underneath the western ice sheet. i.e. underwater, not land.
And no evidence to support they have even effected one year with an eruption to cause a massive sea ice drop off in one sector. They might do in the future but not yet.
Are you saying we know that there's no geothermal activity whatsoever? I don't mean eruptions but limited heat discharge.

Some may find this fairly short video interesting and thought provoking.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6tbyM8H60w

Energy numbers related to Global Warming and whether people think about them correctly.
I'll have to check to see if he has worked out what temperature rise equates to a 0.1% rise in radiative cooling.

Actually.

Output of a blackbody radiator at 288K is near enough 390W, increasing the temperature by 0.1K increases the output by a little over half a watt, i.e more than the 0.1% warming load.

Don't forget the area of a sphere is four times that of a disc of the same radius so we can use that to ratio the effective output. Even so the temperature rise needed to balance a 1W increase in insolation (correct term?) only takes a small surface temperature rise.

The 0.9K rise since 1980 (I just Googled that) would give a BB output rise of over 1% so that doesn't seem to add up.

I'm just throwing some basic physics out here. Anyone want to correct why this does not apply to climate change. Its late so I could have made a simple mistake.

Checking this morning I found this

https://www.stat.washington.edu/peter/Emissivity.h...

Which uses measurements to estimate the effect of co2 on effective emissivity. They are getting figures around 0.61 rather than the 0.88 which would be the ratio I get for a solar input of 1368W/m2 Vs BB output. I think though that they are allowing for the proportion of input reflected due to albedo which reduces the effective emissivity. This would make the output due to temperature change lower, however still in the tenths of a degree to match 1W/m2. I'd like to find some worked physics to show how increasing co2 would lower the effective emissivity by the amount found by the empirical calculation in the link.

I wouldn't link to NotricksZone on the scientific thread if I were you as they are a bogus site fit for nothing scientifc. Ok on the political thread. They once took a Stein paper and put their own labels on his graph to show something, without talking to the original author.

Notrickszone actually is lots of tricks and bias.
Ah, never heard of that site before so didn't know.

As I am writing crap loads of stuff on the forum tonight and also like looking at the poles let me answer that biggrin

There could be volcanic activity in the antarctic that effects sea ice, however you would expect that to be a random hot spot and therefore less ice in one sector that would be blindingly obvious because normally Antarctic sea ice loss and gain happens over many years.

In fact the Antarctic sea ice gaining massively until 2015 and since then has really dropped off and nobody knows why. It's not volcanoes as it has happened over the entire region and it is not climate change as the Antarctic is insulated so far from it. There was an idea is was the Southern Annular mode causing this but then it went out of sync with the current sea ice extent loss.

Even the polar scientists are puzzled. This was an email from one of them on the current Antarctic sea ice extent

"It’s clearly not only the SAM that is playing a role. I think it is still a bit of a mystery. There has been discussion that the ocean is important as well - linkages to exchange with tropical ocean waters

I think one issue is simply that the Antarctic is more variable than we’ve thought. The satellite record was, for much of it, may have been a relatively “quiet” period with low variability. Now we’re seeing more typical variability. There is some evidence of such high variability in limited data from the 1960s. Of course, what causes that variability is a good question, but it puts the “extremes” we’ve seen in more context and we may not need to come up with extreme explanations."

So if you see news about the Antarctic being really low in the next 2 or 3 years bear that comment from him in mind. There is no current link to climate change for the bell weather of the Antarctic.

Note he thinks the current Arctic loss might be. Might be, note.

I love watching the poles, so advise everyone does, with an open mind.

I don’t trust the measurement. Temperature measurements often require adjustments.

It's called "weather world" and is packed with real climate scientists including the head climate scientist at Cambridge University.

It's on at 4:30pm tomorrow (Friday) on BBC News 24. It's also on again at 1:30am and 11:30am on Monday and 4:30pm on Tuesday etc etc etc.

Set your planner to record one of them. biggrin

That's the BBC with all the heating in their glass offices on max, and with a huge fleet of drivers and limos to ferry their 'stars' all over the place.

I'll give it a chance, I have a knack of being able to look at situations and spot an assumed path or outcome that really should never have been assumed. If I find my blood beginning to boil or an unstoppable desire to yell 'cretins' at the TV then I'll know to watch it again with my son.

I doubt there'll be any 'science' on how these determinations are made - it will just be like one of those New Year's Eve news rolls; 'ooh this happened, ohhh then this happened, oooooh and then this happened'.

It's the BBC talking to various climate scientists including the chief Climate Scientist from that we'll know biased organisation Cambridge University.
