This is a very good analysis showing how CO2 goes up and down each year following ocean temperature.
Global Warming Causing Carbon Dioxide Increases: A Simple Model « Roy Spencer, PhD
it is indisputable that the amount of extra CO2 showing up at the monitoring station at Mauna Loa, Hawaii each year (first graph below) is strongly affected by sea surface temperature (SST) variations
Think....warm coke bottle fizzing.
and then imagine what might happen if the sun goes quiet and the oceans start to cool, think about the coke bottle.
It would be fascinating to see how the "Green Brigade" would react if there was a drop in ocean temperature (think record low sunspots) and the CO2 started to decrease.Last edited by BlasterBates; 29 April 2015, 15:50.I'm alright JackComment

BB says that temps rise followed by a big increase in CO2
pj says that CO2 rises followed by a big rise in temps
the record shows that CO2 has risen dramatically but temperatures have stayed level for over 18 years.
but temperatures DID rise fast about 20 years ago.
it's clear as day, BB is right(\__/)

If most of the CO2 increase year on year was due to man you would see it steadily rising not going up and down in synch with the annual variations of ocean temperature.
Spencer's 'model' is laughable. He represents the relationship between delta CO, delta T as
∆[CO2]/∆[t] = a*SST + b*Anthro
and then manually experiments with a and b until he gets a curve that fits. As emissions and SST are related there is a multitude of values that will give the 'right' answer so such an approach is prone to bias, conscious or not. A statistical regression is more objective, but unfortunately for Woy, gives a rather different answer:
Roy's Risky Regression
We know the rise in CO2 is manmade from two independent lines of evidence. Firstly, we have good carbon accounting, we know with good accuracy how much CO2 has been emitted, and its enough to raise concentrations to upwards of 500ppm, the fact that the actual rise is smaller indicates that the biosphere, oceans and other sinks have soaked up some of the emissions. Secondly, carbon from manmade sources has a different isotopic signature to natural and the ratio has changed in exactly the way we'd expect if the increase is from human activity.

I wonder if there is a climate change forum online where everyone is pretending to be an expert on IR35 and hadoop.Comment

plus, you know they have laid a cable when they edit their posts constantly.
Is it true that 97% of pj's posts are revised historically.
most of the historic temp records are revised
most of their absurd predictions are revised
most of pjs posts are revised
why cant they get it right first time ?(\__/)
