The top climate Scientist considers AGW as bunk and all your anomymous experts and SIL can provide no data that refutes the calibrated measurements showing no current global warming as predicted. Your posts show your understanding of science is likely lower than the dolphins. But worse I suggest is your inability to do critical thinking. You chose to believe, I do not who, I look at those who openly provide data and the explanations of their interpretation of the data. I look to see if there are any holes in their anaylsis or errors in the process they are using to collect that data and verify it's provonance. It is call global warming. So what is the value of global data in weighting it's importance. About Roy W. Spencer received his Ph.D. in meteorology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1981. Before becoming a Principal Research Scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville in 2001, he was a Senior Scientist for Climate Studies at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, where he and Dr. John Christy received NASA’s Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal for their global temperature monitoring work with satellites. Dr. Spencer’s work with NASA continues as the U.S. Science Team leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer flying on NASA’s Aqua satellite. He has provided congressional testimony several times on the subject of global warming. Dr. Spencer’s research has been entirely supported by U.S. government agencies: NASA, NOAA, and DOE. He has never been asked by any oil company to perform any kind of service. Not even Exxon-Mobil.

Zipf's Law and Shannon Entropy? Has anyone put a number on your posts yet? Monkey's are at a 2 and dolphins at a four. We are at 9+ I htink. The Shannon entropy cannot go beyond 9 places except in poetry-lol. After 9 places it all seems random.

Global warming is good, global cooling bad

Any person of intelligence would assume that any person of intelligence would never suggest one should listen to others speculations of cause and effect when their predictions based upon the speculated cause and effects have been correct 0% of the time. There are many different speculations on the cause and effects of long term climate change. There have been no predicted effects supporting CO2 as the primary speculated cause. It does not matter if those doing the prediction are ditch diggers or nobel laureate scientists. It does not matter if there are 10 or a million saying the same thing. The specualtion's truth is tested by the observations over time. The facts, the observations are simple to see to all intelligent opened minded people. The stupid, those whose mind is clouded by some religious fever and the dishonest who can see some gain in fleecing the stupid and religious will not see the simple, but deny it. You are the denier of science and the scientific method. Until you open you mind and look objectively at the facts, you are blind to the truth. And to me if those whose opinion you so value are so stupid as not see how the MSU satellites are the most calibrated global observations of the Earth's temperature and still insist on CO2 after the years of existing data, they are brain dead in a large area of their skull. And by the way, If the guy I suggest is the Top Climate Scientist is correct in his speculations on the Global Warming as a Natural Response to Cloud Changes Associated with the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO)You will be left out in the cold.
