Well played. I would have felt insulted but the "genteel" made it all better.

You're as genteel as a ma'fa, Frank.  I'd never take that from you--and remember, artistic license prevails here.

Somewhere way back in the double digits of these pages you'll find my long-winded, carbon dioxide-emitting (but only when read allowed) but nevertheless genteel take on climate change and the impact of carbon emissions. You'll find it remarkably open-minded and balanced but still somehow unconvincing to this audience.

 

Hey, just ask and I'll recreate it for you! (that's o.k., I'll wait)

I'd be ok with that.

I'm not sure if I am more confused or disturbed by the last two pages in this thread.  🤔

Ass! I am tall, but not homely at all. No lazy eye, and an intelligent reasonably informed person.

 

Hope all is well with you Lenard

I don't make the rules, Tibs.  They say you're homely, you're homely.  The eye tilts, it tilts.  Perhaps you and @muppy can split a Mountain Dew and commiserate over artistic direction.  I must push on!

I am paging la senorita amiga comrade kay to the chat. I bet SHE won't diss my classy exotic Sexy albeit demure sleeveless Black fringe dress.

 

The word on the street is Vintage Means not only old.But EXPENSIVE. Le Muppe' is no cheap floozie type. My job defines me NOT. so there  Leo

 

 

@ComradeKayAdams 

 

on a serious note I am obsessed with this dress. She is a HOT TAMALE. red heart sparkle earrings and black fringe, great legs. SO TALENTED I LOVE HER

beauty is in the eye of the beholder though would you agree amigo?  Marty Feldman what a comedic treasure That guy was. ICONIC as heck If he were alive I'd invite he AND @Tiberius for a nice happy hour beer and shoot the baloney. Mountain dew?  Too much caffeine. I need to learn you everything tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk

 

LMAO HE started it.

Comrade Kay likely will dismiss dialogue on the potato sack Ms Lennox is wearing (I was never really a fan of Eurythmics, btw, the music just seemed heavy to me), and speak to the huge impact the vinyl age of records had on the environment.

Your data precision demands are nonsensical. We do lose temporal resolution and eventually all sense of WEATHER as we continue looking back in time, but we still have enough detail of the global CLIMATE to see all its pertinent trends. What happens is that many different sources of climate evidence (ice core air bubbles, tree rings, oceanic/terrestrial sediments, coral reefs, sea sponges, glacial isotope ratios, isotope ratios in flora/fauna/microorganism fossils, etc.) obtained from many different locations on the earth converge and overlap to tell approximately the same climate story. This data congruence is what gives climatologists their confidence. New data continues coming in and continues refining the records, but so far the holistic climate paradigm has yet to be even remotely perturbed…let alone overturned.

 

I still can’t tell from your posts if you properly understand the difference between weather and climate?? Think back to that scatterplot of temperature (vertical axis, in degrees Celsius) versus time (horizontal axis, in years). Each dot represents an annual global mean surface temperature (simply constructed like this: take one location, average its temperature over every day and night of every season in a year, do the same for many other evenly distributed locations across the earth, and then find the average of all these averages). Think of this dot as a global WEATHER average for each year.

 

So the dot-to-dot connecting lines represent the changing WEATHER, while the scatterplot’s nonlinear regression line fit is the changing CLIMATE. The maxes and mins of the weather oscillations can be severe and can be completely natural in origin (solar activity variation, wildfires, volcanoes, ocean current variation, etc.). We mostly care about the trajectory of the nonlinear regression line (representing earth’s input/output energy balance), which changes comparatively slower. Some of the pre-Industrial Revolution sources of climate evidence that I listed above can also provide seasonal weather data, but aside from interesting max/min results, it’s each of their climate regression lines we care most about because these are modeling the trapped energy from the sun. And as they say: if all these regression lines fit, you must not quit (climate science)!!

 

While we’re thinking graphically…think about another important scatterplot: carbon dioxide (vertical axis, in ppm…parts-per-million) versus time (horizontal axis, in years). Thanks to all those ice core air bubbles, we have really good data that goes back 750k+ years. We see nothing above 300 ppm in the entirety of the previous 750k years, ~280 ppm in 1750, then a crossing of 350 ppm in the late 1980’s, and a crossing of 420 ppm last year. So that’s a very sudden and steep incline in this plot to match the sudden and steep incline of the regression line in the aforementioned temperature plot.

 

When you overlay these data plots that can go back hundreds of thousands of years, you see temperature lagging slightly behind carbon dioxide emission in an apparent correlated relationship. Based on our knowledge of greenhouse gases (known since the mid-1800’s), it makes sense that this relationship is causal and behaviorally representative of a positive climate feedback loop. But if you have any different explanation of the most recent spikes in these plots, please let us know! L Ron, Tibsy, and I met in a dark smoke-filled room and decided to relax the standard of a peer-reviewed scientific research paper. Just give us ONE idea of what’s happening in these plots that is not an anthropogenic explanation. If you don’t have a persuasive theory of your own, then don’t blame us if we choose to stick with the scientific consensus.

You could have just said “you guys are stupid”. I’ve got some land on the barrier islands for sale…  not really, that would be stupid.

What the hell is going on here?? 

 

I'm going to buy a big black cowboy hat today at Stagecoach West in Irving, so I can wear it at work Monday while I walk through the hall handing out free apples

 

Why? Because life is so good.
