i think nemeara wins for keeping the secret for eight years

throwing cathedrals is fighting like a woman

a silly woman, even Tiger Woods' wife took a golf club to him direct, she didn't lob skillets when he wasn't looking

I hear it was a thrown statuette? That's a punk move! shoot the bastard

what's old amsterdammer?

He's gotta get in better condition for his next fight

that was not a real wow, it was more of a shamwow

>>No, the albedo isn't uniform across the whole of the earth, and it actually varies with photon energy too.  However, you can calculate a global and frequency averaged value which is entirely appropriate. <<

Not when you're trying to predict the global average temperature to within a tenth of a degree.

I mean, look at what you're approximating: global currents, albedo, photon bombardment, volcanic activity, ozone. And then they guess the fluctuation of all of them put together is less important than human emissions.  Sure it could work--if you fall into the logical fallacy that the last 50 years are determinative simply because they're the period we had the best observations.  If 1500-1900 were more representative of normal climate, then what?  What was ozone 1870-1930?  The Gulf Stream isn't where it was in the age of Columbus, where was it?

Al Gore wrote "Earth in the Balance" in 1992, so I guess they're counting the 90s and 00s as the decades of his blah.  If you weren't aware his schtick was that old, thank God for your ignorance.

I dunno about the polar ice caps...except that 70 million years ago they were so small that Alaska was prairie and grazing dinosaurs swarmed it like buffalo, and 15,000 years ago it was so fat it reached to Chicago.  From this I conclude that a vast petrochemical civilization burnt itself out some 60 million years ago.

I dont know what information beyond "I think this" would be on here

soy falangista!!!!

/me shoots you both

Earth does not have a uniform albedo, and volcanic eruptions are not singular localized events.  Pinatubo put ash globally for a year.  Anarctic ozone wasn't measured before 1954.   Ocean currents weren't measured globally prior to 1855. 

When we ask NOAA to show the data points, they lost them in a move.  NASA won't share.  Instead we get nicely processed computer images of red pastels chalked over a global map.
