Clarifying Climate Terminology: Chris Martz on Anthropogenic Warming

Here is the complete post.

I am picky with terminology, so let me explain. . .

I strongly urge people to stop calling anthropogenic global warming a “hoax” or “scam.” It’s not. There is indeed a legitimate underlying scientific basis.

While a consensus of scientific opinion is irrelevant, as Dr. Judith Curry and Dr. Roy Spencer have pointed out, there is general agreement within the scientific literature on these three things:

➊ Global mean surface temperature (GMST) has risen about 1.2°C since 1850. The warming since 1980 is about as equal in magnitude and rate as the early 20th century warming from 1910 to 1945. In general, it has been warming for >250 years. 📈

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It’s supposed to be warming.  The Earth is still coming out of an ice age.

Deforestation can be Anthropogenic.

Pollution can Anthropogenic.

Cooling due to volcanic ash and gases in the atmosphere is not Anthropogenic.

There is more than one cause for Global Climate Change.  There is no Anthropogenic thermostat.

Despite all of Man's scientific advances, we still need to appease the gods.
