  1. Some Vibration Modes of Water Molecules http://www.lsbu.ac.uk/water/vibrat.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libration

  2. 2349 cm -1 frequency too high for greenhouse warming 666 cm -1 (Satan’s number) greenhouse warming 1388 cm-1 no changing dipole moment, no absorption or emission

  3. Much of the infrared radiation from the earth comes from water vapor and CO2 in the troposphere. And then there are clouds!

  4. MODTRAN Radiation Spectrum of Earth

  5. Examples of FTIR Data from a Satellite

  6. MODTRAN Calculation of T versus C02

  7. Schwartzschild equation for radiant intensity from earth. Planck brightness Attenuation rate Optical depth to space

  8. Clouds at Visible and IR (e.g. 10 micron) Wavelengths

  9. 312 K with noatmosphere FTIR Data from the NASA ER2, Clear and Cloudy Sky. (From Liou’s book). The ice cloud with small ice crystals has emissivity << 1, so the ground below is partially seen. (High) clouds warm by reducing the IR escaping to space in the atmospheric window region. (Low) clouds cool by reflecting sunlignt

  10. Vostok Ice Core Data

  11. (see posting of May 9, 2008 in http://climateaudit.org for further discussion of IPCC 1990) I IPCC 1990 From H. H. Lamb, first Director of CRU in East IPCC 2001 From M. Mann, the celebrated hockey stick!

  12. Greenland settlements began about 986. The last Scandinavians gone by late 1400’s as the climate continued to cool.

  14. The urban heat island problem: Heat trapping structures tend to surround temperature-monitoring stations over time. Max/Min sensor near John Martin Reservoir, CO (Davey 2005) Tucson , Arizona in a parking lot on pavement.

  15. R. H. Knox and D. H. Douglass; letter to Nature, June 2010

  16. From Wikipedia, paleoclimatology

  17. Example of proxy measurements of past C02 levels: 11B/10B = 4 P. N. Pearson and M. R. Palmer, Nature, Vol. 406, p. 695 (2000) “Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations over the past 60 million years”

  18. Enhanced agricultural yields from more CO2

  19. CO2 Enrichment of Greenhouses Typical sales pitch: “CO2 enrichment at 2, 3, and 4 times natural concentration will cause plants to grow faster and improve plant quality. … The **** generator automatically provides the carbon dioxide to meet maximum growing potential.” Cost < $1000 plus cost of propane.

  20. Sea level rise from ice melt in Antarctica (top) is different from ice melt in Greenland (bottom). Mean sea level rise is 1 mm. http://klimazwiebel.blogspot.com/2010/06/newton-and-sea-level-rise.html

  24. Direct measurement of ocean pH on cruise From Hawaii to Alaska G.R.L. Byrne et al., discussed by: http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/06/19/the-electric-oceanic-acid-test/#more-20792

  25. pH of ocean along cruise route G.R.L., Byrne et al. as discussed by: http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/06/19/the-electric-oceanic-acid-test/#more-20792

  26. Supposed anthropogenic pH changes along cruise route G.R.L, Byrne et al. as discussed by: http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/06/19/the-electric-oceanic-acid-test/#more-20792

  27. Why do the nations so furiously rage? (Psalms 2:1) A few of many reasons: Secular religion Any change is bad Inadequate time to study science Government need for new tax revenue And finally:
