The despicable grifters at DeSmog & Greenpeace know that. They don't lie by "mistake." It's premeditated character assassination. They smear him because he's an impediment to their agenda.
Absorption of IR by a body makes the body warmer than it otherwise would be:
👉regardless of the body's temperature,
👉regardless of the source or frequency of the IR, and
👉regardless of whether the body's temperature is rising or falling.
@EthonRaptor@ClimateOfGavin@NASAGoddard 2/6 Our CO2 emission rate is currently about twice the rate natural sinks (terrestrial greening, ocean uptake, etc.) remove CO2. But it's mere coincidence the ratio has been near 2:1 for a quite a while. If we halved CO2 emissions the ratio would be 1:1.
@EthonRaptor@ClimateOfGavin@NASAGoddard 3/6 Coincidentally, for several decades the trend in CO2 concentration has been about half of the trend in "cumulative emissions."
But if we were to halve emissions that correlation would disappear entirely. Cumulative emissions would continue to rise, but CO2 level would not.
1/36 It's amazing how effective the Climate Industry has been at frightening people, beyond the capacity for rational thought. Rutger Bregman @rcbregman, though a smart fellow, is nevertheless "terrified" by a miniscule (≤1°C), completely harmless, sea surface temperature blip.
@EthonRaptor@ClimateOfGavin@NASAGoddard 1/6」You've been ridiculing Donna Laframboise's work for years, without EVER bothering to even find out what she says, and you just did it again. How would you like it if someone did that to YOU?
