Australia suffers most extreme warming

Actually...we do know why and what is causing Global Warming.

The Earth has a specific wobble and as it orbits the Sun this will every so many thousand years dictate warming and cooling trends.

We are not currently in a warming trend solar orbit.

Besides this there is only a few things that can increase Global Temps.

Increases in CO2 and CH4.

CO2 can increase due to greater Volcanic activity or increase due to man made emissions.

There has not been an increase in volcanic activity.

CH4 increase occurs when Global Temps. heat up Ocean and Arctic Circle Lakes and Permafrost as Gel Form Methane...CH4...will bubble up as Methane Gas...this is happening now.

The higher the Gloabal Temps. the greater the amount of Water Vapor in the atmosphere due to evaporation.

Water Vapor levels in the first half of the 20th century were consistently at 1% to 2%.

In the later half of the 20th century water vapor levels increased consistently and yearly to 3% to 5%.

Current Water Vapor levels are consistently at 5% to 6% yearly and rising due to out of control Temp Rises.

This link to the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science CDIAC...Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center is the data our own U.S. Military uses and trusts.

At the top of the page of the site is a chart that will change every 20 seconds or so and detail all types of data from Temps to CO2 levels...etc.

There is absolutely NO DOUBT that current accelerated Global Warming is Man Made and the CDIAC is using data of 800,000 years of ice cores.

CO2 and CH4 levels are at their highest level in over 800,000 years and are increasing at a rate NEVER BEFORE SEEN OR DOCUMENTED.

There is a nobel prize waiting for the person who can identify a factor OTHER than man. But we know what caused the other warming cycles

Milankovitch cycles
Orbital forcings
Solar forcings


\\

Add to the above

Volcanic activity
Geological activity - especially in relation to how much limestone is uncovered at any one time

Any of those things happening at the moment?

 

No, someone READ that text and tried to point out that while the main band can be saturated it is the "wings" that remain unsaturated and that is where the problem lies

If the Co2 effect was saturated we would not have a change in the IR signature
