Global warming is real

@dantes

Velocity is rate of change with a direction. In his case the direction is up. Not an issue.

The increase in temperature from one value to another is NOT a direction. That that mistake is commonly made, does not make it so.

You are right, it’s not an issue, it is merely a technicality. But if you want to be understood, use the correct terminology … in this case, “rate.”

[dantes]

Up isn’t a direction? I’d say it is.

@Samm

That is the rate of change. Speed is distance over time. That may seem a trivial distinction to you, but in science, units are very important. The proper unit (if you wish to be understood) is rate of change, not velocity.

We got it enough with the semantics

@moonshine

ast week austin had its hottest juky temperature ever
london england was in the 90’s
the netherlands hit 100
japan had its hottest temerature on record (106)
year after year are now among the wamest ever

global warming is a fact

Yup, its summer alright.

Speaking of which, what happened to the OP?

Correct. Vectors…

@dantes

Only as a construct of the limited human mind. You know, like thinking that north is up.

He must of forgotten all those lectures about “Weather and Climate are two different things” we hear every winter.

Apparently you are just as lackadaisical with punctuation as you are with scientific terminology.

I have np accepting the narrative that their is man made global warming. It seems almost a definite considering our fuel usage and waste. It gets muddy though when it comes to questions like “How much of the warming is caused by man made vs natural changes in the climate”?

But we’re I really don’t get on board is when asked what is the solution? I get some saying a carbon tax or to raise energy costs on the poor. You lose me there.

What is actually true, measurable and correctable is the urban heat island effect…

It’s the same principle by which people used to heat rooms, warm beds etc by warming bricks next to a fire and placing them strategically to keep themselves warmer through the night.

Seems like a fruitless premise to me. Climate change is real - how much man contributes is debatable. I lean on the side of not much at all.

I’m more concerned about what we CAN control and clean up, like pollution (i.e. the Great Pacific Garbage Patch).

@WildRose

The fact remains that none of them can demonstrate that CO2 is the problem or that if it even is to what degree.

Science has been reduced to nothing more than dogma when it comes to AGW.

So you think Arrhenius was wrong? Care to provide your scientific rationale why?

[Borgia]

So you agree that we are continuing to see warming?

[Borgia]

Is the derivative of velocity positive or negative?

[Borgia]

@Samm

Look at the data. 1998 (1996 statistically) is still the reference year. That is still the point where the rapid warming of the previous 25 years slowed significantly. Yes, several of the last 20 years have become the “warmest on record,” but they are all within the range of the peak in 1998. Statistically, there has been very little if any warming in the last two decades.

Tell me why 1998 is the reference and not just statistical noise?

The warming trend continues, right?

[Borgia]

@Samm

That is the metaphor for the rapid rise in the average global temperature from the late 70s to the late 90s and the subsequent significant slowing of warming since.

Has the warming slowed?

[Borgia]

Velocity is rate of change so it is appropriate. You understood what was meant.

@WildRose

Among majority of Catholic priests is the infallibility of the pope agreed upon?

In any crowd of true believers you will get a disproportionate majority opinion on any subject.

One is dogma, the other is science. That you would even compare the two shows your lack of understanding of science.
