Where the Real Money in Global Warming is


Quote:In a laboratory, a doubling of CO2 will increase the effect an equivalent of 1.1K for the planet. That temperature increase not a problem; it is a boon to the biosphere (as is the additional CO2).


The models that predict more warming than 1.1K include a positive feedback from H2O. They ignore the negative feedback from clouds, and positive feedbacks are very rare in nature. The laboratory physics is well understood. How it translates to an entire planet is not. The fact that the models have grossly overestimated the warming, and failed to predict the cessation of warming this century, is a strong indication that they are wrong about positive feedback.



 

But please, describe the science. In your own words. Not with links. Especially not with links to press releases, which seems to be all you have ever read on the subject.
 

I hope you're right.  I hope the majority of climate scientists are wrong. 

 

What's really fishy about the whole thing is the way global warming denial is concentrated among conservatives.  That to me is a big red flag that tells me that global warming denial is not about science.   It's about politics.
