Over the years I have developed a preference for deductive study and inference, as preferable over inductive or affirming study. Even though I am a climate change proponent, there are some issues which bother me greatly and I feel we just ignore them in favor of linear affirmation study by 2 year out of school PhD's. What you cite here LoneShaman are deductive studies. Thanks. They are white crow studies (as you contend), or at least studies which stand to countermand the lazy form of consensus which our social overlords foist on us in the name of science.
I run the carbon ppm, temperature and sea level graphs each year from the NOAA data, and have for years. So I am convinced that the planet is warming, the oceans are rising, and that the levels of carbon and methane in the atmosphere are increasing. The question is 'What is the majority contributor to this set of changes?' I still think that the answer to this question is highly in doubt. And it is the science which is showing us this.
I am still not comfortable with the assumption, that man is the 90+% contributor to this issue. Below is another graph I run each year and update, but in various forms and from various data sources, so as to not have any particular bias imbue the results. This year I have used the sources below. This is the fifth different way I have examined this data and the answer always comes out the same:
- Deep oceans are heating faster than surface ocean
- Deep oceans are heating faster than mid-level ocean
- Ocean surface is heating faster than mid-level ocean
- Heat temperature deltas in deep oceans precede mirror image temp delta changes in surface oceans by 3 years.
This implies conveyance and a heat source which is near the deep ocean and not the surface. The surface is heated by deep ocean conveyance currents being warmer than they used to be (not cooling surface areas and the atmosphere as well as they once did). There are two ways to heat a system in equilibrium - 1. Add kinetic energy, and 2. Remove its kinetic energy sump. I am concerned that we are not examining option #2.
This concerns me a great deal
1. Because it is happening.
2. Because we are ignoring it.
