his take is incredibly wrong, but there's a huge issue in that anyone with the level of numeracy to understand why he's wrong doesnt need it explained to them.
as I stated earlier though, the model with by far the highest ability to explain observed temperature is atmospheric co2 levels (
example paper from Nature). if Keith wants to come in here and argue against the consensus, more than just disputing the consensus he should offer us an alternative which better explains observed temperatures, except that he cant, at least if that explanation is expected to contain quality work.
Mistake to write an opinion that defers a little from the absolute facts of climate change. I know 97% of climate scientist agree that all global warming is caused by co2, methane & personally believe that part of it is Human caused. Nature releases co2 including the oceans. Earth has been in a warming trend last
10,000 yrs.
That 97% is repeated over & over again. I know
that oil, coal, & gas has spread biased propaganda to discredit climate change.
From 1940 until 1970's was a cooling period. All through WW2 & Atom bombs, ocean & underground nuclear testing. From Russia, US, France.
Oahu is about 3.5 million years old Volcano's in the sea. In that time period sea levels have been -300 feet to +95 feet over time. We went on field trips around Oahu when took Geology at UH. To see reef much higher than sea level.
I didn't say don't believe in climate change its a ongoing fact of life.
When I was a kid in Va. we had bald eagles on our property. Nest high up in the pine trees swoop down to grab fish out of the water.
By young teens they were gone. Learned later
that Langley Air Force Base spayed the swamps with DDT it softened the eggs. Wiped out the Eagles. Early 1950's.
Later when living in Hawaii my Dad was upset because Allied Chemical had dumped Kepone in the Chesapeake bay. Early 1970's it was a small building behind a gas station. Workers were getting sick from handling. It was only place that manufactured Kepone a pesticide sent to Africa
No safety measures, dumping of Kepone down the drain into James river. Dumping it on the grass next to the river. Fish had levels of Kepone it killed fishing & crabs & oysters for some time. It's hard to believe how screwed up things were back then. In Hawaii working on fishing boat would see Humpback whales up close. At that time harpoon boats were killing whales to low species levels with explosive harpoons. The whales didn't have a chance.
They were getting wiped out.
I could give you some names of climate scientist who don't share the view that all warming is caused by man but won't make any difference. I will say that have read Confessions
of a Greenpeace Dropout. The making of a sensible environmentalist. By Patrick Moore.
He was one of the founders of Greenpeace.
Phd in ecology. Agree with most of his views.
That's my right it's a free country.
