Again, apparent ignorance regarding natural climate change causation combined with intimated thorough understanding of CO2 forcing impacts on the environment is a nonsensical position. It just is.


Whut? I'm pretty sure natural climate change is primary driven by orbital cycles. What am I missing?


Did you think climate scientists claim natural climate change is driven by CO2 and that their theories rely on that claim? Nahhh! You've done your research why would you think something that dumb?

I seriously can't figure out if you are being deliberately obtuse or are just completely ignorant. I will assume the latter and educate you. ALL models of anything that is continuous in space or time have errors, even if every input is accurate and the model faithfully includes all relevant physics. This is because digital computers cannot represent the mathematics of continuous variables. They can only do discrete mathematics. This includes every single non trivial fluid model in existence: climate models, models of blood flow, models of airflow around an airplane, models of neutron stars, and the models they used to come up with those fins that some 18 wheelers have hanging off their rear ends. Numerical modellers like to be able to quantify these errors so they can know how precise their models are, so they spend a lot of time writing papers on the matter.

You're welcome.

Depends on what part of the 70's you are talking about, but either way, it don't matter, they wrote it down.

New Scientist?


Forgive me if I don't trust a source that prints headline like "Darwin was wrong".

That's nice you think I'm intelligent but lotsa people are. Possession of a PhD is much more an indicator that a person wanted to study a particular scientific question to death for 5 years while everyone else they graduated college with is off making money.

Depends on who you wanna believe. A bunch of taxpayer funded leach scientists who live in their Ivory towers promoting a predetermined narrative decided by woke politicians or the hard working free market scientists who work for the people that know tobacco better than anyone because they sell it and they make a lot of good jobs too how many jobs does government make zero so no thank you. If only the sheeple would wake up!

Normally, if that's the case, one doesn't put his fingers in his ears and scream la-la-la-la-la like a little child. Normally, one would verify or falsify the information with what he assessed as a more trustworthy source.

But since you chose not to do that, and since you issued the factually ignorant earlier contradiction, I'll just inform you that when the author stated "the early 1970s also saw the first analysis of Greenland ice cores," his reference was to the GISP, and his statement was spot on correct.

You may be afflicted with the worst case of messageboard NSSI that I've ever seen.

How has that assumption thing worked for you so far?

Well, let's see.
Does this correlate with orbital cycles:

I'm glad you admit you have no friggin clue what "error" means in the context of CFD.

When you're ready to tell a story that stitches all your supposed evidence together in a self consistent manner, go for it. Thats how normal people convince other people they're right. They don't just throw up random plots and say "I bet you don't understand this!" because that's infantile and pointless and only convinces the mindless sheep who already think that way that they're right.

you literally know NOTHING about which you are speaking. NOTHING.

Your orbital cycles is pretty moro.. interesting...

Here, look, I'm gonna help you out since I'm such a nice guy, This is a talk given by a skeptic at the tail end of "the pause". You probably remember "the pause" since your argument probably shifted from "it's not warming" to "the temperature record is not accurate" around about the time "the pause" ended.

A lot of his arguments aren't really good and the sources he cites are kinda questionable at places, but the talk wasn't without it's good points.

You will have to at a minimum, exceed this standard to convince me. Because this is the last guy that had me having any doubts, but like I said, "the pause" ain't there no more!

Astronomer's recently coined the term "noctalgia" to describe the feeling of grief associated with the loss of dark skies to light pollution. I think you flat Earthers should come up with your own term like that, about "the pause".

You can't explain how even *one* thing I said was inaccurate though, can you? That's ... interesting.

Nah, you've made it clear that an "Armchair scientist" couldn't convince you the sky is blue, ice is cold, or the sun is warm. So you'll have to convince yourself.

My role here is to point you in the direction of water, not to drink it for you.

You are a scientist, right? A least you play one on the internet.

So you laid out a one hypothesis. Orbital cycles drive climate, Milankovitch and whatnot. It's certainly a more reasonable premise than cowfarts and volcanoes, especially when isolated to the quaternary. But of course, climate change enjoys no such isolation.

In fact whereas by definition, orbital cycles would need be the norm rather than the exception, our quaternary climate is the exception rather than the norm. Hence the question, does the Cenozoic climate appear compatible with a Milankovitch premise?
