"If you've been hearing it, you should investigate" Others investigate, and I read their findings. Scientists have beaten down the best climate denial argument Clouds don’t act as a climate thermostat, and they’re not going to save us from global warming Research suggests if anything, clouds amplify global warming A new study published in Nature by Stanford scientists Patrick Brown and Ken Caldeira found that so far, the global climate models that best simulate the Earth’s global energy imbalance tend to predict the most future global warming. These results suggest the ECS is around 3.7°C. This is higher than the previous best estimate of 3.1°C, and if correct, would shrink our carbon budget by about 15%. The study found that the biggest contributor to the difference between the accurate and inaccurate models was in how well they simulated cloud changes. And while it’s just one study, several prior papers arrived at similar conclusions. theguardian.com == "suggest the ECS is around 3.7°C. " For the simple minded, like Rat, CO2 is 40% of the way to doubling; temps spiked at 1.51 degrees C above pre-industrial. 2.5x 1.5 degrees = 3.75, if the slope is linear. Rat is way ahead of these guys. Message 30573574
