Whether Spencer is right or wrong, the claim CO2 is not the only cause of the warming is different than, humans are not to blame for the increase . Mann??s portrayal is a clear exaggeration of what his source actually says. | 5_2 |
But a bigger gaffe is Hansens claim that Earth absorbs only 240Wm^2, averaged over the surface of the planet. In this number fudge Hansen applied a bogus averaging technique to illuminate a flat Earth by a constant frigid twilight. As such he deliberately omits to account for the fact Earth is a rotating sphere subject... | 5_1 |
Note that no one is suggesting that Lunar cycles are the dominant drivers of climate, just that they change conditions on Earth in ways that may favor certain kinds of climate patterns, and may explain the magnitude of some of the extremes.

However, the conclusion must be that drawn that warming was more widespread in the Arctic not just the Atlantic side than is currently noted in the official sea ice data bases covering 1920-1945/50 and that the official records appear to very substantially overstate the ice area extent during this period. | 5_1 |

Polar bear populations are at near record levels and seem healthy, and even I have seen them playing around on floating ice chunks in the Arctic summer.

The first principle to keep in mind is context. While it is true that global temperatures have risen somewhat during the past 100-plus years since the Little Ice Age ended, there was little room for temperatures to go at the time but up.

Doesn't it also mean there really are safe levels and PM2.5 particles are not really toxic or lethal?
