Re: Ocean acidifcation .

[trying to be brief, to make sure that others have sufficient bandwidth with which to discuss whether people actually eat fossil fuels]

Re: Ocean acidifcation .

Not a problem; thank you for taking the time to respond.

I hear you, you're not the first to say it. But there is a difference between skepticism ("I'm not yet convinced") and denial ("I'm going...

Re: Ocean acidifcation .

I'm pretty sure Jack has not deliberately misused that '97%'; nobody here (besides Gord) can touch JD for the quality and appropriateness of the data he puts up. I don't know where he gets the...

Thanks for dropping by. It's tamped down the heat for a bit, like when the teacher crosses the threshold of an unruly home-room.

On the other hand, Rich is baaaack! and historically, his usual...

Ah. pardon me.

I don't see how anyone can count papers that don't explicitly state whether that piece of work either supports or detracts from the hypothesis of AGW. The climate is a BIG subject; there's other...

Re: Ocean acidifcation .

It could also be that the person is just talking crap (i.e. falsehoods, strawmen, irrelevances, ad hominems). Repetition does not yield chocolate pudding.

No, I'm saying you don't ever seem to present them here to discuss on their merits.


I do know what 'natural forces' are, enough at least to know that when significant they can usually be...

Ok, Good to know. I was beginning to think it was just because of one book you read on vacation or something.

I'm not Jack, but you're really off the mark with this. Jack has expressed praise and admiration for Spencer's professional work in his field. Is Dr Spencer 'doing' science when he opines on CC in...

Re: Ocean acidifcation .

You do so have a position - chin-stroking inaction. Just not enough scientific support for it. The point of subject matter experts is to investigate and advise. We have the responsibility to receive...

Yes the "97%" has been abused. By the pro side for treating it like it's ALL "climate scientists", by the anti side as "the exact sort of misrepresentation & manipulation" and evidence of a...

Re: Ocean acidifcation .

The most concise graph of this observation has been posted here ad nauseum. It shows NOTHING in recent history to compare with the current CO2 rise or warming. Neither magnitude nor speed.

Re: Ocean acidifcation .

yeah... you really need to prove that. Show some counted papers where the correlation is really as tenuous as you're asserting.



I do. Do you? Exactly as Jack has told you: Of the papers that...

Re: Ocean acidifcation .

:facepalm: You can't even get this right. The increase, using your numbers, is 115 ppm, which is a 40% increase. Not a 0.0115 % increase.

And they do not say the same thing. Slipping into the ppm...
