Re: [Phys-L] just for fun?



I show this video, Unstoppable Solar Cycles, to my students each year.

They say the Sun is the main driver of climate on Earth. Around 5:25, they
show the temperature and CO2 graph (with CO2 always lagging temperature
rise).

For those interested, here is a review that includes a discussion of CO2
lagging longer term historical temperature changes.

One of the confusing issues here that really gets us chasing our tails
is 'just what is the consensus view?' Certainly it is that the earth has
warmed over the last century, certainly that the CO-2 levels have risen
dramatically especially over the past 50 years, AND that there is a
connection between these. Where the consensus is weaker involves the
extent that the warming is due to the CO-2 which models certainly support
but long-term historical records are more confusing since those tend to
show CO-2 changes lagging temperature changes.

Has anyone suggested another model that is as rapid as the hockey
stick? I don?t know of any cause that is as rapid as the current event.
Excepting cooling (volcano and meteorite).

bc notes a respected skeptic has now fully embraced AGCC.
