Those articles, arguing on non-linear temperature rise, explains why your point with the graph in post #138 is flawed, and explain why the earth wasn't hot as Venus 600 millions years ago, even with 7000 ppm CO2. Non-linear rise isn't even a controversy, and a known fact given to us from climate scientists.
Koko - Long story short, I explained this before a few times, post #138 was to point out only about CO2 ppm concentrations that were high in various periods. But isn't interesting that around 150 million years ago temp shot up 5 degrees and stayed around there for 100 million years while CO2 ppm went down 1000 ppm? I thought that CO2 concentration is the primary driver of global warming?
I didn't bother take time to find the obviously flaws in all the articles, but choose arandom one, the nasif article. A problem with the Nasif article, is that it's very brave at trying to predict the climate, in a way that not even real climate scientists do.
Koko - that is exactly what climate scientists do, including those who do model to find global cooling results. Again, predicting means exactly that, predicting and does not mean it will happen in the way they are trying to model. We know it will happen, global warming and cooling, The contention again is that increaseing CO2 concentration is the primary driver of global warming. If so, the decreasing CO2 should also be the primary driver of global cooling. But you don't go there, do you? You critize climate scientists for making wild guesses, while you pull up an article that is making more bomb proof conclusions than climate scientists do.
Koko - look and read closely. I basically said that climate modeling is not a crystal ball. There are scientists who have done climate modeling come up various scenarios (that's what they are, possible scenarios) that includes global cooling results. Modeling has inherent flaws, not a crystal ball but it is a tool to help us understand. Are you saying that climate modeling is 100% correct? Sounds like it to me. The math of path lenghts are wrong in the Nasif article something that a long discussion between DeWitt and Nasif show here, where Nasif withdrew from the discussion for some obvious reasons according to DeWitt:

One advice, stop posting long articles that you don't understand and can verify is right with your knowledge.
Koko - I understand those articles. But do you? It's more interesting if you can elaborate with your own words
Koko - I have, numerous times. For example, water vapor makes up 3% of the atmosphere, Co2 about .03 percent but water vapor is a better temp regulator than CO2 and absorbs (and reflect) more the infrared than CO2 could ever do. And that's a fact. How much more simpler do you want me to get but yet demand some validity which is why I provide links to peer reviewed articles, scientific studies and other articles and so on. what and why you belive this and that, and perhaps add a link,
Koko - sigh. I have. instead of posting articles that you don't understand while bragging about beeing a bigger scientists than all of us.
Koko - so, you as a non-scientist have a better understanding over scientists?? That does not give you much cred. I could go on posting thousands of long articles telling why your stuff is nonsense, but that would ruin this thread.
Koko - but you haven't and when you did provide a link I pointed out numerous times why it was flawed rather than simply point a finger and say it was flawed. That's how you do it. It's funny how a non-scientist go around telling scientist, especially in the field of Earth science, saying "you don't understand." What a hoot. My advice, keep that sort of commentary out and debate on the merit of science itself.
Your article on wildfire don't makes any points here.
Koko - I should've clarified after the link. Climate is only one control of fire regimes, and if you only considered climate when predicting fire under climate-change scenarios, you would have a good chance of being wrong. Nor does it deny that forest fires frequency are at a very high rate,
Koko - um, if you look at the graph again, frequency of wildfire dropped but the size (acreage) of wildfire has gotten larger, especially over the last 10 years. It was unheard of to hear wildfire over 100,000 acres 20, 30 or 40 years ago. Now, it's common to see that size. and nor does it deny that the global warming is the cause. All it says, is that the nature will change to cope with a changing climate, so there won't be more forest fires in the future, but that's bad news for many species and plants.
Koko - that was one aspect but it also pointed out that climate isn't the only influencing factor on fire regimes and it'd be erroneous to think along that line, too. And that's where you fall into that trap. There are a variety of factors that influence larger or more frequent fires.
Last, it's a consensus in climate science. That's your biggest problem, and why you aren't able to come up with a single scientific post that can support your view.
Koko - I have. Numerous times. You chose to ignore it or don't read it or simply do not understand.

This is probably my last post in this thread, as I am getting bored with the rambling and cheap attempts from you to try to score points. It's too easy to pick apart your arguments.
Koko - when you talk like that it's a defensive posture. Coming from a non-scientist that's rather amusing.
