CM posted that it was ridiculous to claim malaria would hit Spain.
Malaria hit Spain.
Actually he posted that it was ridiculous to claim malaria would hit Costa del Sol
a 3-month old infant who had not traveled to a malaria-affected area, is thought to have acquired the virus in Madrid
625 km away

Now you can continue to post massive amounts of propaganda filled with half truths, inaccuracies and wild speculations and we shall continue to show you for what you are
Or
You could smarten up do some fact checking before posting and stick to the facts

It is obvious you will not even consider the more responsible route and will continue to prove how much of a propaganda effort is being put into "Climate Change"
People get turned off when you lie to them once. Do it constantly & well...... you become a laughing stock
You have passed that point long ago


If you honestly believe you are right there is no need for lies, omissions of pertainted facts and misleading information
Unless of coarse your lies, omissions of pertainted facts and misleading information is driven by an agenda rather than the truth

Wrong again, mr science.
You picked one data point from a chart, all charts mentioned here use multiple measurements to get those points.
You still picked an El Nino, record warm, year as your measurement.
That, my dishonest friend, is cherry picking data.
Oh El Nino ?
Now you're trying to use natural climate variability to explain away an inconvenient cooling period
Sorry but you have made it crystal clear that CO2 and CO2 alone is the control knob for climate

if you are now saying El Nino is responsible for the US temperature spikes in 2012 and 2016 then how is natural climate variability not responsible for all or even the majority of any warming during any period under study?

You just cheery picked yourself into a corner




The reality is you picked a single El Nino event, record warm year to measure from.
Too funny
One only needs to look at an extended graph to see that climate alarmists picked the 1870s as a low temperature point as a reference.
Now that is cherry picking



There is no decline in US temperatures, you're bullshitting.
Actually the NOAA data shows quite clearly the US average annual temperature has declined from 2012 to 2019 and from 2016 to 2019
You have previously defended NOAA data as above reproach, so...... this is not bullshit




Cherry picking, when one doesn't use your choice of warm US years you also get this from the same chart.
Over the last 10 years, the US temp has increased.
Over the last 20 years, the US temp has increased.
Same with 30 or 40 years.
You are cherry picking.
Ignoring the medieval warming period, the Roman warming period and ignoring any natural climate variability is cherry picking

Go grab the US charts for those temps then.
I do not take orders from people I do not respect
Garb them yourself
What is wrong with you?

Odd how Gavin Schmidt omitted mentioning recent cooling in the USA, North America, the Gulf of Mexico , no warming in Asia (I think Africa may have cooled a tad as well) when he reported 2019 as the second warmest period on record.
Could Gavin have some bias?
Why wont he debate Roy Spencer?


It has not, you are lying based off of your cherry picking.
No it is a factual statement backed by NOAA data
It has cooled off in the USA the past 7 years
that should not have happened if CO2 is the control knob for climate

The planet is warming, rather than show how ignorant your claims are lets just go back to the global temperatures.
You really think this chart shows that the planet is now cooling?
That's moronic.
I never said the planet is cooling.
I was quite clear
backed by NOAA data
I simply pointed out the fact that It has cooled off in the USA the past 7 years
that should not have happened if CO2 is the control knob for climate

This is from NOAA and note that the last 20 years have put us over the top of the chart by around 0.2ºC

No I understand it,probably better than most. Definitely better than you do

the issue is you have repeatedly claimed CO2 is the control knob for climate and that natural climate variability can not be the cause for the warming. El Ninos are most certainly natural and variable
But now you are claiming El Nino is responsible for the US temperature spikes in 2012 and 2016 ??

You can not have it both ways

I am feeling rather good today, but I'm not sure what you really mean with 'cheery picking'.
Of coarse you are not sure. how can one be sure when basis understanding is missing?

Go back and read it again, so that you understand
you cherry picked two annual periods and claimed they were caused by el nino, thus proposing natural climate variability (El nino) is responsible for warming in 2012 & 2016
That is not possible if CO2 is the control knob for climate.
If natural climate variability caused 2012 and 2016 warming , then natural climate variability also could have caused some, most or even all of the warming since 1870

Sorry Michael Mann tried that and was shown for what he is

And top it off you claim Medieval warming period was not global, yet it is the big spike in the middle of your global chart (around 1100)

HANOI (Reuters) - Vietnam will generate more electricity from coal and oil this year to compensate for an expected drop in output from hydropower plants because of a lack of rain, the government said on Friday.

The Southeast Asian country, which has one of the fastest-growing economies in Asia, is increasingly reliant on fossil fuels to support its growth

Holy shit, larue. Explaining this to you is going to be harder than telling you that you got your numbers wrong and harder for you to understand than cherry picking. And its incredibly simple.
Yes, you can have a general increase in temperature that also has bumps caused by El Nino making single years warmer, like 2016, while La Nina's make some years a bit cooler.
Have you not ever noticed that these charts are not smooth lines before?

Take a look, again, at the Schmidt chart that shows global temperature.
Its not a fucking smooth line, its got bumps on it, including a big one on the El Nino, 2016 year.







But then you lie so often it must be difficult , especially when you do not understand what you are talking about
Show me one 'lie' from me.
I challenge you.
Prove it or admit that you are bullshitting.

No, you cherry picked 2012 and 2016, I'm just pointing it out. When I show you charts I give you long term trends, not arguments that only work if you start on one year.
And again, CO2 drives the general warming of the climate while El Nino events make particular years warmer while La Nina events can make other years a bit cooler.
That's why the chart above is spiky and not a smooth line, because there are natural events, like those current events as well as volcanoes that also temporarily influence the climate.
An El Nino event is typically only one year long, then it reverts back.
This is incredibly basic yet you still can't understand this?

Do you not see how you cherry picked you way into a corner?
How do you fail to see that it was you that cherry picked 2012 and 2016?
I know it took 10 posts for you to understand you used C numbers instead of F, but this is going on 20 + posts where you still don't understand that you are cherry picking?

It was not 'cheery' picked, that is as far back as climatologists have for modern global temperatures. Dates prior to that use different methods to calculate global temperatures.




The question stands on its own face value
a 7 year time frame of declining temperatures should not have happened at all if CO2 has risen during that same 7 years and if CO2 is the control knob for climate change,
Do not blame me for stupid and ultimately indefensible statements you make
'The question stands on its own face'
That's hilarious, very 'cheery'.

Again, you claim the US is cooling through cherry picking one warm year to a cooler year in a spiky chart.
Moving your claim earlier or later and the chart says that the US is warming.
You are cherry picking.

From your source:
https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cag/natio...se_prd=true&begbaseyear=1901&endbaseyear=2000

2012 - 2019 = cooling
2013 - 2019 = warming
2014 - 2019 = warming

It took 10 posts to get you to understand you used F numbers for C, are you even able to understand the concept of cherry picking data?

Then explain how EL nino and or other natural climate variability is not responsible for all the bumps and the gentle rising slope of the curve?

This is how science works
If you propose a stupid , irresponsible and indefensible hypothesis such as "CO2 is the control knob for climate" then you have to be able to use that hypothesis to explain all observations
This is how science works

If you need to bring El ninos into the explanation, then you need to alter your hypothesis
You may consider "CO2 is the control knob on climate, except when a nature climate variability factor such as El nino results in more or less warming than can be explained by C02 "
Which really translates to " Yeah we really don't know'

Larue, you are totally clueless.
Let me see if I can educated you on how two forces can act on one body, another grade 6 level subject you apparently can't follow.
Say there is a bike riding at its maximum speed of 40kmh, what happens when that bike goes down a big hill?
Does the bike continue at 40kmh or does it gain extra speed because of the decline?
And what happens after that bike descends the hill and goes on a long plane, does it maintain its new faster speed or does it lose energy through drag and revert back to its maximum speed of 40kmh.

Now apply this to the global temperature. CO2 increases are driving the planet warmer at roughly 0.2ºC/decade. El Nino adds another say, .3ºC temp for one year, a little speed boost to the rising temperature. Afterwards the planet reverts to its present CO2 driven temperature rise, which means that there is a little bump on the El Nino year's chart followed by reverting to the CO2 driven rate.

Most teens could understand this, I wonder if you will be able to. It may be even more complicated than cherry picking.

.




and then you post a temp chart clearly showing the Medieval warming period (1,100 AD) . and you did this in the same post! It was either an outright lie or you are incredibly stupid. Your choice
Do you realize that the present warming we are experiencing is 2 times this 'bump', a warming you claim is significant?
How does that make the present warming rank?



The question stands on its own face value
a 7 year time frame of declining temperatures should not have happened at all if CO2 has risen during that same 7 years and if CO2 is the control knob for climate change,
Do not blame me for stupid and ultimately indefensible statements you make
I totally blame you for all the stupid statements you keep making, don't worry.
How can you claim that the US is cooling if it shows warming in 4 out 5 years and only shows cooling in the one year you cherry picked?
How can you still not understand what cherry picking is after so many frigging examples and different ways of explaining it to you?
How can anyone be so daft?

From your source:
https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cag/natio...se_prd=true&begbaseyear=1901&endbaseyear=2000
2010 - 2019 = shows the US warming
2011 - 2019 = shows the US warming
2012 - 2019 = shows the US cooling
2013 - 2019 = shows the US warming
2014 - 2019 = shows the US warming
So which date did you cherry pick?

This is exactly what you did, using different years.
Substitute 2016 with 1998 (the previous biggest El Nino year) and 2008 with this year and its exactly the same.
Same claim, same cherry picking dates on a chart showing increases to claim its a chart showing a decline.
Same dishonest argument, I wonder if you'll ever be able to understand cherry picking.

See the bike metaphor above.

Too bad you restricted yourself to one force by claiming C02 is the control knob for climate, but we will humor you

Does the bike continue at 40kmh or does it gain extra speed because of the decline?

I am not arguing against multiple forces acting to impact climate.
I have been very clear it is a multi variant non linear chaotic system which includes turbulent air and water flows. (which are far to chaotic to model).
You however have held steadfast against any other possible cause for changes to climate other than rising CO2.
That is until now, when you have to explain some cooling
All of a sudden you say El nino is responsible for a bump in warming , specifically 2016.

CO2 increases are driving the planet warmer at roughly 0.2ºC/decade. El Nino adds another say, .3ºC temp for one year,
And how pray tell did you seperate the impact of those two which are theoretically occuring at the same time? Two inputs (hundreds in reality) and only one output: temperature
And how pray tell did you come up with those specific estimates ?

You have El nino adding 1.5 times in one year (0.3 C) as you have Co2 adding in a decade (0,2C)
El ninos frequency is less than 10 years

So your hypothetical example shows El Nino is by far the dominate force wrt warming. At least 1.5 times more warming than C02 over a ten year cycle
Job Done ! You have solved the global warming riddle.!
Call Justin & Greata. you have proven natural climate variability is the boss

of coarse it is more complicated than your failed grade six level attempt to explain temperature changes
However by opening the door for natural climate variability to be responsible for some of warming in 2016, you also open the door for natural climate variability to be responsible for some , most or even all of the warming in any year
That is how science works


a little speed boost to the rising temperature
.
a little boost where you need it you say
Afterwards the planet reverts to its present CO2 driven temperature rise,
Given climate has historically always changed and you are wetting the bed because of current change, why do you have any expectation of a return to equilibrium (expect for Co2 and only Co2)?
Climate is a chaotic multivariate nonlinear system (The IPCC)
How does one define equilibrium for a chaotic system? You cant

which means that there is a little bump on the El Nino year's chart followed by reverting to the CO2 driven rate.
Or El Nino could be responsible for far more than your guess of 1.5 times greater than Co2
too bad you can not separate the two effects empirically

Most teens could understandit this, I wonder if you will be able to. It may be even more complicated than cherry picking.
Perhaps you can get a teen to explain it to you then. they might at least get the fractions supportive of your argument instead of supportive of natural climate variability

consensus on climate alarmism is maintained by censorship, blacklists and firings.


Climate sceptic awarded $1.2m for unfair dismissal

A "lukewarm climate change sceptic" who was sacked by his university, Professor Peter Ridd, has been awarded $1.2 million in compensation because his employer contravened the Fair Work Act in dismissing him.

In his compensation ruling, Federal Circuit Court Judge Salvatore Vasta said James Cook University, had "poisoned the well" and ensured that Professor Ridd could not "obtain employment".

He said Professor Ridd, 59, would be "damaged goods" to any employer and "will continue to pay a heavy price for that stereotype".

In 2017 Professor Ridd had questioned his colleagues' conclusions that the Great Barrier Reef was being damaged and degraded.

He was sacked from his position as head of physics at JCU in May last year after a series of warnings not to breach university confidentiality.

National president of the National Tertiary Education Union, Alison Barnes, said all universities should be on notice that breaches of the enterprise agreements were serious matters with million-dollar consequences.

"Professor Ridd’s academic freedom was only protected by the collective agreement negotiated by the union, and that enterprise agreement clauses provide the only enforceable rights to academic freedom," she said.

The compensation includes $712,500 for foregone future wages, $143,773 for lost wages, $90,000 general damages and $125,000 in pecuniary penalties.

With superannuation on top, total compensation was $1,219, 214, which the university said it will appeal.

In the original judgment, Judge Vasta said the university had breached Professor Ridd's academic freedom, which was protected by his enterprise agreement.

This took priority over the JCU academic code of conduct, which required him to "uphold the integrity and good reputation of the university".

Professor Ridd told The Australian Financial Review, the case was not about climate change.

"That's what sparked it. But at the bottom it's about debasement of the university system. Breaching academic freedom is an example of the university system.

"The judgment was about JCU action. It's not to do with the Great Barrier Reef.

"What it does demonstrate is that anyone who does stand up against climate change or the Great Barrier Reef will be imperilled in their jobs and there's a likelihood their career will be affected.

"This is why crushing academic free speech is such a serious sin for a university to permit.

"The fact JCU is going to appeal just shows they still don't understand the concept of academic freedom."

A spokesman for James Cook University said the university's position would be addressed in its appeal.

Professor Ridd told the Financial Review he was a "lukewarm climate change sceptic".

"Irrespective of whether the half to three-quarters degree warming in the last 100 years is man-made or not, I do not believe that has had an effect on the Great Barrier Reef.

"But I am a red hot sceptic when it comes to the reef and run-off sediment."

It was his criticism of colleagues for claiming a link between sediment and damage to the reef that led to the university's case against him.

In an unrelated matter in July, Judge Vasta was relieved of some of his circuit court duties and required to receive counselling from a senior judge after appeal against a conviction in which the full Federal Court of the Family Court called Judge Vasta's conduct of the case "an affront to justice".

In a recent report for the federal government, the former high court judge Robert French said there was "no crisis of freedom of speech" in universities.

Too bad you restricted yourself to one force by claiming C02 is the control knob for climate, but we will humor you
No, I said CO2 is driving warming of the planet.
El Nino is a cyclical current event that raises the temperature of the planet temporarily, typically over 1 year or so, it isn't warming the planet.


I am not arguing against multiple forces acting to impact climate.
Yes you clearly did.
But I will accept your withdrawing from this claim as another admission you were wrong.


And how pray tell did you seperate the impact of those two which are theoretically occuring at the same time? Two inputs (hundreds in reality) and only one output: temperature
And how pray tell did you come up with those specific estimates ?
I approximated based on looking at the charts of global temperatures. The IPCC has stated they expect about 0.2ºC warming per decade through CO2, though that may now look to be conservative. And for El Nino, I just looked at the chart and used the bump as a guess. Its just a guess for this debate, but feel free to do some actual research and find the real numbers.

You have El nino adding 1.5 times in one year (0.3 C) as you have Co2 adding in a decade (0,2C)
El ninos frequency is less than 10 years
El Nino has a large effect on global climate, but yes, its cyclical.

So your hypothetical example shows El Nino is by far the dominate force wrt warming. At least 1.5 times more warming than C02 over a ten year cycle
Job Done ! You have solved the global warming riddle.!
Call Justin & Greata. you have proven natural climate variability is the boss
No, El Nino doesn't raise the planet's temperature permanently, it bumps the temperature up temporarily for a year or so.
Just like when you ride down a hill it boosts your speed but that speed is lost through drag on a plane and then possibly lowered when you go back up the next hill (or La Nina).

of coarse it is more complicated than your failed grade six level attempt to explain temperature changes
However by opening the door for natural climate variability to be responsible for some of warming in 2016, you also open the door for natural climate variability to be responsible for some , most or even all of the warming in any year
That is how science works
The grade six level explanation seems to have worked as you now appear to understand that two forces can act on one body.
And no, El Nino is not responsible for climate change, its just a cycle much like winter and summer.


Given climate has historically always changed and you are wetting the bed because of current change, why do you have any expectation of a return to equilibrium (expect for Co2 and only Co2)?
Sure, the climate will likely return to a norm in a few thousand to a few hundred thousands of years, depending on whether we drive it to a thermal maximum or not.
Unless we do drastic change and keep climate change to 1.5ºC or so.
What do you think is the better option?
Thermal maximum or cheap gas?


Or El Nino could be responsible for far more than your guess of 1.5 times greater than Co2
too bad you can not separate the two effects empirically
1) El Nino doesn't drive climate change, its a cycle like winter and summer.
2) Yes, scientists can easily separate the differences, it may be hard for you to understand but its not for them.


Watching you argue scientific issues is like watching a turtle who has flipped over onto his back
Kinda funny for a while, but then it just becomes cruel
You really think you're doing well in this debate?

No, I said CO2 is driving warming of the planet.
Absolute not !!!!

You repeatedly claimed CO2 is the control knob for climate


El Nino is a cyclical current event that raises the temperature of the planet temporarily, typically over 1 year or so, it isn't warming the planet.
You can not prove that empirically
You have two inputs El Nino & CO2 (hundreds in reality) and one output temperature
You can not separate the impacts of the two on a global scale

Yes you clearly did.
No I am not arguing against multiple forces acting to impact climate. Pay attention will you !!!!!
What is wrong with you?

But I will accept your withdrawing from this claim as another admission you were wrong.
Oh I will admit if I am wrong, but I am not.
You conversely will never admit to anything despite so many examples I have lost count. Countless others have said the same about you
Once again you forget you need virtue before you can try virtue signalling

I approximated based on looking at the charts of global temperatures.
You guessed & your guess made a stronger case for Natural Variability than for CO2
what a dope !!!

The IPCC has stated they expect about 0.2ºC warming per decade through CO2, though that may now look to be conservative.
Conservative??????
their models have consistently overshot reality & they have a long long list of failed predictions
No if there is an adjustment required it is towards a much lower sensitivity


And for El Nino, I just looked at the chart and used the bump as a guess. Its just a guess for this debate, but feel free to do some actual research and find the real numbers.
"Used the bump as a guess", well that should get you some consideration for a nobel prize"
I can just see the Headlines "FrankFooter guesses , proves his theory wrong and is awarded the Noble Prize..... Greata is non too pleased to come in second"

Sorry science requires a lot more rigour than "I just looked at the chart and used the bump as a guess."

but feel free to do some actual research and find the real numbers.
I do not need to do anything
You are the one incorrectly claiming CO2 is the control knob for the climate, All I need to do is sit back , watch you make an absolute fool of your self trying to argue scientific concepts.
It is really not to hard to point out flawed logic
That is how science works. It weeds out & dismissed flawed logic. If it is allowed to operate ex politics

If you propose a hypothesis and claim it to be true, then it has to sand up against any and all challenges.
That's the way science works

That is also why only a fool would claim "Co2 is the control knob for Climate" or " The science is settled"

El Nino has a large effect on global climate, but yes, its cyclical.
Oh so now you want to introduce a new factor, "cyclicality" of El Nino ???

Well if your going to do that then you need to introduce the periodicity of a whole shit load of other factors such as:
1. changes in the jet stream,
2. solar activity ,
3. the Milankovitch cycles ,
4. convection forces
5. radiative transfer across the variable temperature gradient of the troposphere
6. the logarithmic changes in absorption by c02 as concentration increases and the exponential decrease in absorption across a decreasing tempature gradiant of the troposphere
7. Cloud formation
8 Water Vapour concentration (The big dog of greenhouse gases)
9. The impact of turbulence on air and water flows
Etc Etc

None of which are properly (if at all) incorporated into computer climate models

In science you just can not introduce unspecified cyclicality of one input "as needed" , but exclude all others

But back to your statement
El Nino has a large effect on global climate, but yes, its cyclical.
How much of an effect? you said large so then it is significant
But again how much?

Your first guess showed it to be 1.5 times greater than the impact of Co2 over a ten year cycle
??? Is there something wrong with your suddenly evolving theory of global warning?

Remember you took the absolute , no doubt about it , the science is settled stand that "Co2 is the control knob for climate" and we can control climate by controlling the Co2 knob


No, El Nino doesn't raise the planet's temperature permanently, it bumps the temperature up temporarily for a year or so.
Explain the physics behind that statement. something a lot more in depth than your grade six level bicycle/ hill analogy

Just like when you ride down a hill it boosts your speed but that speed is lost through drag on a plane and then possibly lowered when you go back up the next hill (or La Nina).
I wondered when you would introduce La Nina another Naturally occurring driver of Climate
Three down, hundreds more natural variable effects to come


[The grade six level explanation seems to have worked as you now appear to understand that two forces can act on one body.
#1. No the grade six level explanation does not work as climate is a lot more complex that that
2. There is a whole lot more than two forces acting on numerous bodies in the climate, many interacting in highly unpredictable manners hence the term chaotic
And no, El Nino is not responsible for climate change, its just a cycle much like winter and summer.
There is no scientific basis for either of the two inaccurate conclusions in that statement
El Nino's do not have a regular periodicity like winter of summer.



Sure, the climate will likely return to a norm in a few thousand to a few hundred thousands of years, depending on whether we drive it to a thermal maximum or not.
What part of "Climate is a chaotic multivariate nonlinear system" do you not understand?
You can not define an equilibrium of a chaotic system


Unless we do drastic change and keep climate change to 1.5ºC or so.
Scare mongering about a subject your clearly do not understand


What do you think is the better option?
Thermal maximum or cheap gas?
Oh Boy that's scary!
too bad for you I am not a child

What do you think is the better option
Using propaganda to support puedo science, dangerous distributive policies and to scare the living hell out of children
or
allowing constructive scientific debate to arrive at the truth
Such strong and continued efforts to shut down the opposition are a pretty serious red flag that "Climate Change" science is not rock solid and most definitely not settled
If your right , there would be no need to shut anyone down
But alas you clearly are not right and the propaganda effort continues


1) El Nino doesn't drive climate change, its a cycle like winter and summer.
You showed it to be responsible for 1.5 X the warming of Co2 over a ten year period???????
But that was just a guess

2) Yes, scientists can easily separate the differences, it may be hard for you to understand but its not for them.
That is just not true. absolutely not on a global scale in a chaotic system

They can guess, but look where that got you guessing

This is just too funny


You really think you're doing well in this debate?
oh boy, now that is also very funny !! Stop it , it hurts when I laugh like this
Watching you argue scientific issues is like watching a turtle who has flipped over onto his back

Go ahead and check the posts.

No, you can't. But smarter people, like all climatologists clearly can.

Oh I will admit if I am wrong, but I am not.
You conversely will never admit when you are wrong despite so many examples I have lost count
I admit when I'm wrong.
Here's a chance for you, please list 10 of these examples where you can prove I'm wrong, if you're right I'll admit and if not you will admit it and we'll add it to your increasing tally.


You guessed & your guess made a stronger case for Natural Variability than for CO2

You still don't understand, not that I'm surprised. It took 10 posts to get the difference between F and C and you still don't understand cherry picking.

Conservative??????
their models have consistently overshot reality & they have a long long list of failed predictions
No if there is an adjustment required it towards a much lower sensitivity
Their models have done really well, the only exceptions is they didn't expect as much polar ice melt and expected more tropical change, but global numbers are really accurate.


"Used the bump as a guess", well that should get you some consideration for a nobel prize"
I can just see the Headlines "FrankFooter guesses , proves his theory wrong and is awarded the Noble Prize..... Greata is non too please to come in second"
Go ahead and show what you think those numbers really are.
Don't forget to show your math and sources.


Sorry science requires a lot more rigour than "I just looked at the chart and used the bump as a guess."
This is a debate and I'm trying to teach you basic physics, at this point you've almost learned that two forces can act on one body but are now busy on the L part of FLICC.

That is how scince works
If you propose a hypothesis and claim it to be true, then it has to sand up against any and all challenges.

Its standing up. The projections match the global data from multiple sources over 20 years of projections.
You're still learning F vs C, basic physics and the idea of cherry picking data.

Oh so now you want to introduce a new factor, "cyclicality" of El Nino
New?
Why would you think that is new, I thought you understood the basics of El Nino. Do I have to teach you that as well?

Well if your going to do that then you need to introduce the periodicity of a whole shit load of other factors such as:

2. There is a whole lot more than two forces acting on numerous bodies in the climate, many interacting in highly unpredictable manners hence the term chaotic
Yes, of course. Volcanoes are another force that can drive climate change, for instance.
They've all been covered and are all to be found in the IPCC reports.
In fact, I'll bet you that every claim you can make has been discussed in the IPCC reports and if I'm right you have to admit that you don't know what you are talking about with climate change.
(though I've said I won't bet right wingers on this board as they all renege on bets)




There is no scientific basis for either of the two inaccurate conclusions in that statement

They are both cyclical, as I said. Whether they have regular cycles is immaterial.

CO2 is the primary driver of the not at all gentle warming we've experienced since the start of the industrial revolution.

CO2 only really starting rising significantly since the 1950's. Yet the warmest decade we have seen is in the 1930's. Wonder what drove that warming? And yes overall the warming has been gentle approx. 1°C since temperature records began in 1880.
