Please explain the graphs, thanks.<BR/><BR/>As for global warming on other planets, global mean temperature can only do two things: rise or fall. If you want to come up with a solar explanation you had best show comparable time scales and comparable anomalies on all planets, not an agreement in sign on some of them. See, e.g., <A HREF="http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2005/10/global-warming-on-mars/" REL="nofollow">Steinn Sigurdsson's RealClimate contribution</A>.<BR/><BR/>Consider that even if the Svensmark mechanism works well enough to affect global conditions, that is not enough. Nobody denies that there are natural mechanisms that heat or cool the earth. Let's stipulate (despite the lack of evidence in observations) that this one really works. <BR/><BR/>You still have to explain why the greenhouse effect fails. And you are left with a much deeper puzzle about the ice age cycles. What is it that amplifies the Milankovic cycles so severely on that time scale? <BR/><BR/>You seem to have a great deal of confidence in the Svensmark theory but it's unclear why.<BR/><BR/>The relationship of water, CO2, and methane is routinely screwed up by the press and the denial squad, and you have duly joined in the confusion of concentration, optical depth, and anthropogenic perturbation.<BR/><BR/>Finally, CO2 correlates about as well with temperature, given natural variability and understood lags, as expected. Not surprising, I suppose, because our expectations are largely guided empirically. Of course the correlation is substantial. The idea that it doesn't correlate at all is strikingly wrong. <BR/><BR/>Your beliefs are obviously not the result of any actual expertise but a parroting of some of the more common of the mutually inconsistent talking points of the denialists.<BR/><BR/>You should tell us on what basis you formed your opinions. Do you think there is some chance that you worked backward from the conclusion you prefer to the evidence?<BR/><BR/>If you intend to defend your position, please get yourself a blogger name so we can keep our Khabibbulists and Svensmarxists straight, and take it up on the sunspots thread linked above.Michael Tobishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08229460438349093944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524070301101240472.post-26816238457845383642009-01-17T08:43:00.000-08:002009-01-17T08:43:00.000-08:00Anon:The new generation of wind turbines are bird-...Anon:<BR/><BR/>The new generation of wind turbines are bird-friendly.
