See what is happening, basically?
Sunspots are a good solar measurement, reflecting intensity, while temperature and CO2 speak for themselves. If we add CH4, we could show how other GHGs are related to TIPPING POINTS, since these are critical, and Heartland-brand trolls don't read TIPPING POINT, unless you capitalize this.
CO2 always accompanies temperature, to act as a general forcer, or hey! You can be superstitious, and claim no greenhouse effect exists, like you are one of Heartland's finest trolls. But you also need to know Heartland fund source Koch Brothers funded a study, by Richard Muller, which found global warming is happening, and the science behind this is valid.
That science included the GREENHOUSE EFFECT.
Since recent sunspot cycles are mild, TSI is not increasing. Since a lot of ice is melting, average global temperatures should be FALLING, from heat exchange, which is not replenished, by solar radiance, but the GREENHOUSE EFFECT, powered by IR back-radiation is causing average global temperatures to RISE, so a thousands of high-temp records are falling.
In fact, solar intensity decreased, in 1889, in certain ways. That year was the last time the Greenland ice sheet melted, over its entire surface.
No matter how much you deny what is happening, CO2 concentration led the PETM and P-T extinctions, particularly when CH4 out-gassing exacerbated the GREENHOUSE EFFECT. We are out-gassing CO2 and CH4, faster than either of those critical extinctions.
Do you have any LEGITIMATE QUESTIONS? Your science is just a load of Heartland-brand paste.
