What is the “correct” temperature for Planet Earth?
What period typified the “ideal” climate?
The climate has changed quite dramatically throughout history (going down and up without the help of man).
Exactly. If you think global warming is bad, wait till we get global cooling. Last time was a beotch.
Selling souls does tend to garner more loyal customers than selling oil....
Um, maybe that was yesterday’s warming du jour. Today’s is a surface effect on a number of temporarily stagnant ocean areas. Got to keep up with the shell game here, pal...
Even more:
Is there a range of conditions that are ideal for man’s survival and if there is such a state, is there a range of conditions in which man cannot exist?
Is mere existence enough?
What caused prehistoric fluxes in temperatures?
And how many of those so-called scientists have or anticipate a government grant?
The folks crowing about “Darwin” managing to keep earth not just alive but smelling like a rose through major volcanic belchings and meteorite hits and dramatic ice ages... are now getting very cold feet. Or is it warm feet.
Are today’s temperatures the ideal numbers?
Or the base recordings of the 1800s?
Or the medieval warming period?
What is the ‘right’ number?
Scientologists would tell you it was aliens dumping the souls of aliens into volcanoes.
Is the number base-10. Is the number a prime number? Is it divisible by 11?
Today, few deny the cooling.
As to the ocean, anything that disproportionately warms ocean waters causes an increase in precipitation, whose predictable result is land mass cooling.

Is anything you post here ever relevant?
.
Some places have cooled, some have warmed, the vertical profile of same has changed (earth isn’t just a 2 dimensional entity) and different substances are involved with different specific heats.
It is mathematically absurd to believe one can predict from the empirical information we have what temperature trends are going to be. Too many variables, too few equations.
One cannot judge relevance without a baseline of relevance.
Is relevance relative?
Well, God wrote the Book of Love

Agree in general.
.
Exactly!
The calculations for the moon mission were basically no different than those done by Issac Newton and others.
As to Climate Models - After learning to Program “Hello World” the next thing most programmers learn is “GIGO - Garbage In, Garbage Out!”
As for value of “Peer Reviewed Climate Science”, the Hadley CRU emails destroyed their credibility.
One of my old girlfriends is a big climate change professor at a major university
I’m not surprised
She’s an heiress
