Surely you don't consider your opinion of me scientific facts?<br /><br />You bring up some <i>song'n dance</i> about how I don't understand the climate system and label me gullible - yet I'm the one that's produced some real information explaining the CO2 vs H2O link and why water vapor being a stronger greenhouse gas does nothing to detract from the importance and critical central position of CO2 as the gas of concern. <br /><br />And you can't even acknowledge the fact of mankind's hand in skyrocketing our planet's atmospheric concentration of this CO2.<br /><br />Instead you respond with name calling and label pasting?

Wriggle and squirm as much as you like b...Hi Pete,<br /><br />Wriggle and squirm as much as you like but you can’t escape the fact that you have demonstrated repeatedly in our recent exchanges just how disingenuous you can be. Readers of our blogs will make up their own minds about which of us is the more trust-worthy. The important message that our exchanges should get across is that people should not just accept what others tell them about CACC (or anything else for that matter) but do their utmost to dig out the facts behind any claims made. Confidence tricksters only succeed because gullible individuals accept on face value what they are told.<br /><br />The Catastrophic Anthropogenic Climate Change (CACC) debate is not driven by science but by the vested interests of politicians, financial investors, environmental activists, the renewable energy industry and anyone else who sees an opportunity to get power or make money (the name John O’Sullivan springs to mind). There were far too many gullible people around who accepted the scientific gobbledegook promoted by such groups and individuals about our use of fossil fuels causing catastrophic changes to the different global climates. That gullibility peaked around 2007 (when I first became involved in the CACC debate) but since the revelations of “Climategate” there is increasing realisation that they were being conned.<br /><br />As Christopher Booker said on 24th June 2012 “ .. The great global warming scare has long been dying on its feet .. ” (http://globalpoliticalshenanigans.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/rio20-fiasco-but-beware-agenda-21.html). The future looks bright!!<br /><br />Best regards, Pete<br />http://globalpoliticalshenanigans.blogspot.co.uk/ <br />Pete Ridleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08258973141061114628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3692282252844489453.post-29769396589856777782014-07-06T20:39:26.550-07:002014-07-06T20:39:26.550-07:00Global warming - What role does water vapor really...Global warming - What role does water vapor really play?<br /><br />September 06, 2010<br /><a href="http://knowledge.allianz.com/environment/climate_change/?626/global-warming-what-role-does-water-vapor-really-play" rel="nofollow">http://knowledge.allianz.com/environment/climate_change/?626/global-warming-what-role-does-water-vapor-really-play</a><br />citizenschallengehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04559990934735912814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3692282252844489453.post-41205091989439807772014-07-06T20:37:03.949-07:002014-07-06T20:37:03.949-07:00I came across another article that does a nice job...I came across another article that does a nice job of explaining the atmospheric CO2 / H2O connection<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://knowledge.allianz.com/environment/climate_change/?626/global-warming-what-role-does-water-vapor-really-play" rel="nofollow">Open Knowledge</a><br /><br />Global warming - What role does water vapor really play?<br /><br />September 06, 2010<br /><br />"Here are the perfect ingredients for a conspiracy theory: water vapor is the most important factor influencing the greenhouse effect but doesn’t feature on the UN’s list of greenhouse gases responsible for anthropogenic global warming.<br /><br />Critics of the idea of man-made global warming love this simple fact and have turned it into one of their most potent arguments to sabotage decisive climate action.<br /><br />So why doesn’t the UN’s climate body the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) list water vapor as a greenhouse gas? It’s because water vapor does not by itself increase temperatures. It amplifies already occurring warming.<br /><br />Water vapor’s role in the Earth’s climate system is defined by the very short time it remains in the atmosphere and actively traps heat. While additional CO2 from factories or airplanes can remain in the atmosphere for centuries, extra water vapor will only remain a few days before raining down as water.<br /><br />The concentration of water vapor in the atmosphere is in equilibrium. The atmosphere can only hold more water vapor if overall temperatures increase. So a small warming effect caused by human CO2 emissions will increase the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.<br /><br />The added water vapor leads to even more warming, thus amplifying the CO2 warming effect. Water vapor follows temperature changes, it doesn’t cause or, as climatologists say, ‘force’ them…."citizenschallengehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04559990934735912814noreply@blogger.com
