Any electronics geezers ? peer review

Are you really that thick and ignorant? Warm air holds more moisture than cold air. That is one reason why as air passes over a mountain range and is cooled it can no longer hold as much moisture and so it rains / snows.

This is taught at pre-GCSE level, yet you seem to be ignorant of it.

warm air can hold more water vapour, that doesnt mean that it always does.
a big bucket can hold more water than a small bucket,

there are a million things that can affect the amount in the bucket. only a climate genius like you could claim that the bucket is always full

I recommend reading the Dessler paper I linked, there's a full version here

The existence of a strong and positive water-vapor feedback means that projected business-as-usual greenhouse gas emissions over the next century are virtually guaranteed to produce warming of several degrees Celsius. The only way that will not happen is if a strong, negative, and currently unknown feedback is discovered somewhere in our climate system.

Feel lucky?

these links. are they peer reviewed ?

[pjclarke]

Uh-huh. GRL is the house journal of the American Geophysical Union, it has an impact factor of around 4. That article has been cited 99 times in the literature. Here's a non-peer-reveiwed write up

NASA - Water Vapor Confirmed as Major Player in Climate Change

Though I find NASA usually pretty reliable.

Oh, you were being funny!

[EternalOptimist]

One of the founders of GreenPeace doesnt agree with you

[pjclarke]

Which part? He makes a few minor factual errors, but most of what he's written is correct.

[EternalOptimist]

He doesnt think that CO2 are the main cause of global warming. I am glad you agree, you are coming around slowly but surely pj

[pjclarke]

Where did he say that?

[EternalOptimist]

Round about here...


'The fact that we had both higher temperatures and an ice age at a time when CO2 emissions were 10 times higher than they are today fundamentally contradicts the certainty that human-caused CO2 emissions are the main cause of global warming.'

[EternalOptimist]

Where did he say that?

astounding. absolutely astounding.

thats a keeper.


im keeping that for posterity. i want everybody to read that.

astounding
