THE LOU DE MAURO QUESTION:

CAN YOU REFUTE THE PREMISE THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS INDEED OCCURRING BUT IT IS NOT DUE TO HUMAN INFLUENCE?

MY ANSWER

IT WOULD BE HARD TO REFUTE, FIRST BECAUSE GLOBAL WARMING CYCLES OF THIS NATURE OCCUR NATURALLY IN INTERGLACIALS ANYWAY AND SECONDLY, THE CLAIMED CORRELATION BETWEEN EMISSIONS AND WARMING IS NOT FOUND IN THE DATA AND NOT SUPPORTED BY OBSERVATIONAL ECS {EQUILIBRIUM CLIMATE SENSITIVITY} VALUES. THESE VALUES SHOW LARGE UNCERTAINTIES.

A FURTHER WEAKNESS IN THE FOUNDATIONAL ECS ISSUE, WITHOUT WHICH THERE CAN BE NO HUMAN CAUSE, IS THAT CLIMATE SCIENCE ITSELF HAS ABANDONED THE ECS THAT RELATES GLOBAL MEAN SURFACE TEMPERATURE TO ATMOSPHERIC CO2 CONCENTRATION IN THE THEORY OF HUMAN CAUSED GLOBAL WARMING AND MOVED THEIR CAUSATION THEORY TO THE TCRE, TRANSIENT CLIMATE RESPONSE TO EMISSIONS.

THE NEED FOR CLIMATE SCIENCE TO MOVE TO THE TCRE PROVIDES FURTHER SUPPORT FOR THE CASE AGAINST THE THEORETICAL FOUNDATION OF HUMAN CAUSE IN THE ECS. DETAILS IN THIS ISSUE ARE PROVIDED IN THE DOCUMENTS LINKED BELOW.
