Deniers are going to deny until modeling can precisely emulate weather everywhere on earth for many years ahead and many past.
Of course by then mankind will have moved on from fossil fuel use and the climate will be whatever those final decades of use have created. In other words way too late.
That's why even discussions of climate science with deniers of it is a waste of time.
They are incapable of understanding it and prefer their mythology.
No... I disagree. I think they are perfectly capable of understanding it (at least most of them). I am convinced that they CHOOSE to go with their falsehoods.
And I disagree with you....most people on both sides of this debate are mathematically illiterate and therefore unable to separate the wheat from the chaff. they pick a side and a few ideas and then stonewall.
for example- konradv and PMZ have chosen the CAGW side and their cornerstone argument is that CO2 absorbs some longwave radiation and sends half of it back to the surface where it increases temperature in a substantial way. because their thinking is unsophisticated, they would rather dismiss anyone who brings up confounding issues as simply a 'denier' or 'conservative' who can be easily ignored.
wirebender and SSDD are the same type of one-trick-ponies who chose the other side and used a distorted (mis)understanding of the second law of thermodynamics as the bedrock of their argument.
itfitzme is perhaps one of the most dangerous types of posters because he offers up simple equations that are mathematically correct but conceptually wrong. time series analysis is much more than just picking out a correlation for a single factor.
polarbear on my side is prone to putting up a blizzard of numbers and equations that are irrelevent to the topic at hand. he is the only one on this board that I would accuse of deliberate deception but then I am harder on skeptics than warmers.
one of the most common mistakes here is the inflated credibility given to proxy studies and the seemingly careless acceptance of them being compared to recent direct readings. just because 'climate science' gets away with it in pal review, that doesnt mean it is correct. it baffles me that none of the warmers here seems to understand the flagrant abuse of science behind 'Hide the Decline'.
You certainly have been offered many chances to answer the admittedly simple question, where does the excess energy go? You keep chasing the energy around the globe and assume that after a while it gets tired and sneaks out the back door or just lays down and goes to sleep. But physics says it's conserved. It's here until warming sends it by the increasing every day atmospheric GHG concentrations into space.
The answer to where does it go and how does it get there is an amazing adventure and worthy of your self described superior intellect but in the end the answer must be it goes into warming until energy in and out get rebalanced.
