But I was able to raise a personal flag when reading that one of his water vapor concentrations charts dealt with "relative humidity," and not gross amounts of water vapor itself. Thanks for pointing out that as temperatures go up, the amount of water vapor the atmosphere can hold goes up, even though relative levels may not represent the same kinds of increases.<br /><br /><br />I am also aware that Arctic land ice melt is different than sea ice melts, and I appreciate the reference to the fact that as more ice melts around the Antarctic, ocean ice water is diluted and requires lower temperatures to freeze.<br /><br /><br />If the very questionable reputations of Lindzen and other biased skeptics weren't enough, and all their disproven claims weren't enough, apparently Samurai has no scruples about actually lying about and using graphs which are known to be false, as a last resort. Personally, I think the fact that so many AGW deniers, do not hesitate to use every dirty trick in the book, only begs the question of how rational, supposedly ethical, and forthright people like themselves, can justify conveniently hanging their distorting and dishonest overcoats at the door, and then expect us to trust and ultimately accept their deliberately false versions of climate change, as if they represented actual truths?<br /><br /><br />Thanks again Christopher, for pointing out the many inaccuracies and distortions in the data presented by the challenger, since a mere partial understanding of climate science is supplemented greatly with the testimony of those like yourself, who know just what the many lies and distortions used by deniers are, and why they are indicative of just the opposite of real ethical behaviour on the parts of those deniers.<br /><br /><br />Those who tell the truth have no need to lie, but charlatans like Linzden are completely misrepresenting the evidence, since that's what they need to sell their partial truths and outright lies!Peter Johnsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2581891759488770965.post-55659666774463498102014-12-12T10:24:20.592-05:002014-12-12T10:24:20.592-05:00That is an interesting take on the Lima conference...That is an interesting take on the Lima conference. I can imagine Australia really could bully some countries and Lima would give them a good opportunity to do just that.Christopher Keatinghttp://dialoguesonglobalwarming.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2581891759488770965.post-44157296107785041712014-12-12T07:54:46.581-05:002014-12-12T07:54:46.581-05:00Absolutely. As for the Oz government "caving...Absolutely. As for the Oz government "caving in" to international pressure. No such luck! <br /><br /><br />They're trying to turn their unimpressive little $50 million a year for 4 years into a mechanism for directing funds specifically to a) private industry, b) "our" region - presumably meaning Oceania. (That $50 mil a year looks to be pretty weak tea seeing as this govt also reduced general foreign aid in much the same way as they gutted the CSIRO. These funds will barely make up for what should otherwise have gone out anyway.) <br /><br /><br />They're also using the Lima conference as a venue to try and strongarm a few of the countries attending there which will also attend the UNESCO meeting in a few days. This govt is wonderful! No, no, no, the Great Barrier Reef is in no danger at all! No need to damage the tourist industry by saying that it's In Danger. Hmmpphh. It's very easy to say this sort of thing authoritatively when you've increased your height by standing on all the Australian govt reports about the various threats to the GBR. <br /><br /><br />These people are not just amateurs. They're bullies who also happen to be bumbling fools.adeladynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2581891759488770965.post-6049990067033677572014-12-10T19:38:35.060-05:002014-12-10T19:38:35.060-05:00In my opinion Labor lost the election, the Liberal...In my opinion Labor lost the election, the Liberals won it by default.<br /><br />Abbott was given a chance and has been found to be lacking.<br /><br />Politicians are a "renewable resource" as some say - bring on the next election!Harry Twinotternoreply@blogger.com
