Hi Mike

I gather that they infer the actual values from the Oxygen 18 analyses of the ice cores from antarctica but it may be actual values.

Seems as if the warming occurs which leads to additional and incremental CO2 increase. It may lag due to reabsorption into the oceans etc. but it is an indicator if not initially a cause.

Hi Can someone explain the following?

I read an article here:

http://www.nov55.com/gbwm.html

It said that C02 couldn't be the cause of global warming because it absorbs ALL of the radiation within a certain area. (ie radiation is the limiting factor - more C02 cannot trap more heat)

If this is true then how can it also be true that 'some' radiation is/has always been reflected by the earths surface and returned to space?

Surely both cannot be true? If some solar radiation is reflected then it stands that the C02 didn't absorb it all, and by that logic more C02 would absorb more radiation as it passes back through the atmospher having been reflected?

I must recommend this climate site

http://www.climate4you.com

if you want good graphics and charts they have the most up to date and the best IMO.

Global Warming/Cooling is another false choice (republican/democrat) given to the people to squabble over instead of the real problem

here's a clue of one of the real problems

From the NASA GISS personnel blurb for Dr. Hansen,

http://www.giss.nasa.gov/staff/jhansen.html

in his own words…(my bolding)

One of my research interests is radiative transfer in planetary atmospheres, especially interpreting remote sounding of the earth’s atmosphere and surface from satellites. Such data, appropriately analyzed, may provide one of our most effective ways to monitor and study global change on the earth. The hardest part is trying to influence the nature of the measurements obtained, so that the key information can be obtained.

Pretty much sums it all up, I daresay.

German subsidies for solar-power will be reduced by as much as 15 percent from July 1, after the government won industry agreement on the need for tariff cuts in the world’s biggest market for photovoltaic panels.

The tariffs, which guarantee above-market rates for solar power, will be lowered by as much as 15 percent for roof-based panels depending on the volume of installations in March, April and May this year, Environment Minister Norbert Roettgen said. Cuts for ground-based systems will come in on Sept. 1, he said.

“In the interests of power users in Germany, solar energy must be cost-efficient and adjusted to market price developments,” Roettgen told reporters at a briefing in Berlin today attended by Guenther Cramer, the head of Germany’s BSW solar industry association. “A solar market that grows too quick and over-heats would push up power costs.”

Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government is paring subsidies because solar-panel prices have fallen by as much as 40 percent, leading to a glut on the German market. Germany may have installed 8 megawatts to 9 gigawatts in new solar capacity this year, accounting for more than half the world’s market, Bloomberg New Energy Finance estimates from Jan. 12 show.

The Environment Ministry said the allowance reductions will be brought forward to July 1 from Jan. 1, 2012, with cuts of as much as 15 percent if forecast solar panel electrical output exceeds 7,500 megawatts.

Germany pegged subsidies last year on an assumption new solar capacity would grow by 5,000 megawatts. It actually grew by some 7,000 megawatts, equal to 6 new medium-sized conventional electricity plants, Roettgen said. That’s why the country had to speed up reducing subsidies, he said.

The new capacity installed “is an expression of the success of solar power in Germany,” he said.

I'm in Thailand. Monsoon is meant to be over.

It. Is. Pissing. Down. In. Spades.

I can hear ambulance alarms.

Very odd weather. Global warming, see?

Blame the little girl. La nina, in spades, is a bitch.

Just more of the same, but good to know, nonetheless.

Now when the "Team" claim that the "trick" was legit and that the reasons for it were explained in the peer-reviewed literature, they can be asked about the "preceding" data removal.
