Interesting paper from Energy and Enviorment which I believe is a peer reviewed journal. This is what the author says are the results of the study: "The results suggest that El Nino and the Southern Oscillation events produce major changes in the carbon isotope ratio in the atmosphere. This...

Skyhunter: Actually if you look at posts 4&5 you will find reference to 4 peer reviewed papers. OH and for your information regarding belief see this news article...

Borek: Either I am reading what he is saying incorrectly (Which is possible). What he is saying is not what I have learned and I will leave it at that.

Skyhumter: Actually everything in life is faith based. Ask any philosopher. I see no reason to not rely on Spencer. The issue is water vapor feedbacks and that seems to be an area he is concerned about and has published papers about. Do you have papers that falsify his theory or just...

So now you are claiming a perpetual energy as the atmosphere doubles the energy it receives from the surface or quadruples it and returns half back to the surface. If this is true why are we useing hydrocarbons to provide energy. According to your theory we only need to capture all the extra...

Seeig how the Green House effect is about equalizeing temperature and not warming. You know like a real Green House. I will leave you to your opinion. I brought up the moon as the moon show our atmosphere ocean land Intrface equalizes the temperature by retricting warmth both incoming and...

"There's the solar energy (most of which passes through the atmosphere just fine) plus also the energy radiated from the atmosphere. The surface is in balance with this total… which is more than what you'd have without an atmosphere. This is what is called the atmospheric greenhouse… a poor...

Sylan: You made the statement that the atmosphere warms the earth. This article proves that the atmosphere restricts the incoming heat from reaching 123C. The atmosphere also restricts the loss of warmth keeping the low temperatures from reaching -233. That was the points I was bringing up...

Lunar Surface Temperatures Temperatures on the Lunar surface vary widely on location. Although beyond the first few centimeters of the regolith the temperature is a nearly constant -35 C (at a depth of 1 meter), the surface is influenced widely by the day-night cycle. The average temperature on...

WeatherRusty: You brought up the Dressler paper and I pointed out a reply.

Here was Dr. Roy Spencer's answer to Andrew Dressler: http://www.drroyspencer.com/2009/02/what-about-the-clouds-andy/ "I’ve been receiving a lot of questions lately about Andrew Dessler’s water vapor feedback paper which supports the positive water vapor feedback exhibited by the IPCC climate...

Or maybe this is what you are looking for: http://ams.allenpress.com/perlserv/?request=get-pdf&file=i1520-0442-21-21-5624.pdf "Feedbacks are widely considered to be the largest source of uncertainty in determining the sensitivity of the climate system to increasing anthropogenic greenhouse gas...

I do not know if these are what you are looking for: The issue is related to something that Forster & Taylor (2006 J. Climate) and Forster & Gregory (also 2006 J. Climate) have previously demonstrated: In order to estimate radiative feedbacks, you must first remove any sources of time-varying...

Andre: "Not the point. The point is that there was independent variation both in CO2 and temperature. Mind that the enormous dynamic flux of CO2 between atmosphere and with the ocean dwarfs everything else. Some changes there in flows could have a big impact on that balance." Thank you for...
