The topic of "global warming" is dead before it can start. The notion of a "global temperature" is nothing but nonsense. It does not and cannot exist. The averaging of measured temperatures at different places is as nonsensic as averaging phone numbers. http://www.uoguelph.ca/~rmckitri/research/globaltemp/GlobTemp.JNET.pdf I recommend reading the introduction in the article, it is fairly easy to follow. Professor at The Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, Bjarne Andresen: Nor is temperature in any way a proxy for "energy": Actually, he notes that it is a well known phenomena that aircrafts have diminished takeoff performance at high air temperatures, indicating that higher temperatures is correlated with lesser energy rather than more. (Where 'temperature' here refers to the local temperature in a temporary equilibrium system, not average temperatures of seperate non-equilibrium systems, which as stated above does not exist as a physical phenomena.)
Let me make this brief illustration of why it is nonsense to even talk about a global temperature (and hence global warming): Two pots have water at the temperature of 100 and 50 degrees Celsius respectively. Is it then meaningful to say that the sum of temperatures in the two pots is 150 degrees? No, the temperature of 150 degrees does not exist in any physical sense (such water would be gaseous). Nor is it valid to continue with this figure and divide it by the number of pots and arrive at the "average temperature" of 75 degrees.
there is no pertinence to the pretention of this thread. mid ocean warming drives global climate chainge. not the temperature you feel, but the direction the storms and other atmospheric phenomina come from. altering conditions the entire web of life evolved in concert with. and the web of life is where the air we breathe itself comes from. so the contention of this thread is mearly setting up and knocking down a straw dog of absolutely no pertinence to what it pretends to address. =^^= .../\...
If "mid ocean warming drives global climate chainge" then maybe one should measure that instead of the "global temperature" which is not a physical phenomenon at all (but rather a psychological one).
if you'd honestly do your homework you'd know that is what is actualy being discussed. the popular mind loves mindless shortcut lables to be politicly coercive with. =^^= .../\...
And you don't like to speak, do you? And why would you, when you can make insinuations in order to avoid arguments. The issue about an increase in "global temperature" is non-physical. Such data does not describe any realities. It's a walk in the desert of fundamentally misunderstood statistics. It is like saying that two persons are seriously sick, because the sum of their temperatures is above 70 degrees Celsius...
