Preview of upcoming "summary" rebuttal


My recent post on OLR is the hopefully the final preliminary post in preparation for a ~13-point rebuttal I plan to the AGW theory. Here's an outline of those points. I give a couple of links with each point to further explain.

It's interesting to see how far my thinking has evolved since my first attempt at a similar summary 7 years ago.


1) No temperature rise during time of highest CO2 rise also known as "the hiatus" in warming
(Links: One, Two, Three)

2) Lower stratosphere is not cooling
(Link: One)

3) No lessening of the adiabatic lapse rate also known as "the missing hotspot"
(Links: One, Two)

4) No change/correlation in downward longwave radiation despite the rise of carbon dioxide
(Links: One, Two)

5) No reduction/correlation in outgoing longwave radiation at the top of atmosphere
(Links: One, Two)

6) 'Greenhouse dividend' not increasing as fast as Keeling curve
(Link: One)

7) Little change in earth emission spectrum as shown in Brindley & Harries 2003
(Link: One)

8) Weather is not worsening
(Links: One, Two)

9)  Polar amplification only at one pole; Antarctica is cooling
(Links: One, Two)

10) Antarctica gaining mass. Snows more at poles with a bit of warming.
(Links: One, Two)

11) Sea level rise is not accelerating
(Link: One)

12) Decline in 13C/12C ratio not keeping pace with fossil fuel combustion emissions
(Links: One, See also: Two)

13) Other theories than AGW explain observations better, such as sun+ocean theory
(Links: One, Two, Three)
