Houston..... we've got a problem

NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth's atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space than alarmist computer models have predicted, reports a new study in the peer-reviewed science journal Remote Sensing. The study indicates far less future global warming will occur than United Nations computer models have predicted, and supports prior studies indicating increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide trap far less heat than alarmists have claimed.
Study co-author Dr. Roy Spencer, a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and U.S. Science Team Leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer flying on NASA's Aqua satellite, reports that real-world data from NASA's Terra satellite contradict multiple assumptions fed into alarmist computer models.

NASA better be careful or they might have funding cuts that end the shuttle program and massive lay-offs.
Al Gore = putting the CON in consensus.
Enough of this "Space stuff" let's build choo-choos and windmills and electric cars and solar panels and batteries.
The truth always comes out..
So more heat is escaping from the earth’s atmoshere than AlGore’s models predicted? I guess now we know why the other planets are all warming up, time to spend trillions on this new crisis!
Al gore’s response: “the nasa study shows heat escaping so it is clear we are creating heat on a globally unsustainable level, if we are accelerating the rate that heat is escaping, if the temperature doesn’t rise, we will have more extreme weather. floods, more snowfall, droughts, and extreme temperatures. in short, we are doomed, buy carbon credits and my hedge fund.”
The only gas that reflects IR energy really well is water vapor, not CO2. Heck, even argon is much better as a supposed greenhouse gas than CO2 and there’s more than twice the amount of it in the atmosphere than CO2.
And yet, I was in line to mail a package yesterday, commenting on how nice the weather had been that morning, and the woman ( a stranger) I was talking to got all conspiratorial and said, “Yes, something very strange is going on!” I swear, people now think NICE weather is a sign that the earth is in crisis!
it’s because the Earth’s core is like a million degrees or something. Algore said so.
It wasn’t possible to have “greenhouse gas” before greenhouses were invented, therefore greenhouses must be the problem.
Pay back is hell when screw with NASA’s flight program.

“In addition to finding that far less heat is being trapped than alarmist computer models have predicted, the NASA satellite data show the atmosphere begins shedding heat into space long before United Nations computer models predicted.”
As a young scientist I attended a seminar given by someone modelling a biocatalyic reaction. After the talk a co-worker I didn’t really know asked me what I thought. I told him that modelling such reactions wasn’t worth a bucket of spit and that it would just be easier to actually DO the experiment. He got a strange look on his face and walked away. Found out later he modeled biological reactions.
In any case good scientists have a motto, “when real data disagrees with your model, you need a new model”.
No way! You mean this state we’ve been in for the last 10,000 years is a stable equilibrium? One in which the restorative forces increase faster than the perturbative forces when it is stressed? One that has survived volcanoes, sunspots, massive deforestation, and who knows what else? I call bullshit! The conservatives are obviously guilty, and therefore there must be something they are guilty of, something big. Climate change that is going to destroy all the climates in the solar system is the only thing big enough to fit that bill. Kill all conservatives! Global warming! Increase the debt ceiling!
Global Warming is so ‘00s. The politically correct term is “climate disruption.”
From the 11-year study period, it appears that they had adequate data to release this information last year. Someone held it back so it could be used as a "parting shot".
Wherever did you get the idea that Argon is a greenhouse gas? It isn’t — and neither is oxygen or nitrogen.
Yes, you are correct! There can be no natural equilibrium! Good post, and so true. You made me laugh.
“good scientists have a motto, “when real data disagrees with your model, you need a new model””
Several years back I took a class in forest growth modeling. The instructor, a top modeler for the USFS, opened the class with the statement, “All models are wrong. Some are useful.” It’s the only thing I remember from the class....
Maybe this new study is NASA’s way of saying “thanks” to Obama for his cuts to their budget - the money train was gone so now they can tell the truth about the global warming bs?
