Quick Look Over There!
2) Show us some record of ocean temperatures (where 90% of solar radiation goes) that does not indicate significant warming over the last 15 years.
Point #2 really makes it sound like the sun and oceans are working together to cause warming, not humans.
You'll have to explain that one to me because I don't see that at all. Essentially ALL thermal energy in the atmosphere comes from the sun, but I was referring to the ocean heat content data developed by Balmaseda, Trenberth and Kallen that indicate deep ocean temperatures and total ocean heat content began rising dramatically at almost precisely the same time surface temperature warming began to slow. The apparent conclusion is that changes in tropical circulation (ENSO, PDO, etc) are pushing warm water into the depths and leaving cooler water at the surface. There is really nothing more here about the sun than would be implicit in ANY statement re global warming.
I would guess you simply wanted to bring up the sun.
I would not bet against you.
In fact, it is safe to say that the sun is by far the dominant determiner of the earths temperature.
No, that is not safe to say. Certainly, the sun is the source of all the energy we are talking about. But the sun has not gone through sufficiently large changes to be responsible for the increases in global temperature over the last 150 years.
This article has nothing to do with global warming and certainly makes no claim of a relationship
Sorry. No joy.
Typical AGW cultist mentality.
