And the fact that the lower 13C/12C isotope ratio in atmospheric CO2 post-industrial, which is perfectly consistent with what happens when you burn a lot of fossil fuels:<br /><br />http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2004/12/how-do-we-know-that-recent-co2-increases-are-due-to-human-activities/<br /><br />...well, the scientists must be wrong about that because, you know, if I can't understand it how can they understand it?<br /><br />Completely blinded by their ideology/greed. Useful idiots. More like playground bullies, actually; the way they carry on at LOL WHUT?!

That's a relic of 10+ years ago when it was _possible_ to argue that the 30s - in the lower 48 USA - was their hottest decade. <br /><br />Back then it was the classic, insular 'America = the whole world' issue. Now it's a total denial of both global and local reality. Most of us throw out our moth-eaten or horribly out-dated clothes and other possessions. Not this crowd. adeladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02019930864931919369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-50559218598354946162015-06-15T15:25:15.023+10:002015-06-15T15:25:15.023+10:00MacRae has previous when it comes to cooling predi...MacRae has previous when it comes to cooling predictions. In an article for extreme fake sceptic website 'ICECAP' in September 2008 entitled "Is This The Beginning of Global Cooling" MacRae answered his own question with an emphatic "YES".<br /><br />He based this on a high order polynomial trend he managed to fit to the (then) UAH data. The same trend now shows warming, even using the latest UAH data set.

They do not possess the most basic of scientific knowledge to begin to even have a glimmer of understanding. Hence 'scientists don't know nuffin'. I always thought a double negative was positive.

Yes this happens at the speed of light! There is a small delay while the charge dipole moment of the CO2 is vibrating after absorption before re emitting the IR photon in a random direction. <br />Even Youtube 'knows'!<br />BertBert from Elthamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-31584082607473372812015-06-15T06:44:30.809+10:002015-06-15T06:44:30.809+10:00It seems that MacRae has previous (comedic) form:
