[0] 1 [Skeptic Argument] “Climate’s changed before” [Paragraph] Natural climate change in the past proves that climate is sensitive to an energy imbalance. If the planet accumulates heat, global temperatures will go up. Currently, CO2 is imposing an energy imbalance due to the enhanced greenhouse effect. Past climate change actually provides evidence for our climate’s sensitivity to CO2. [One Liner]
|
Climate reacts to whatever forces it to change at the time; humans are now the dominant forcing.

[0] 5 [Skeptic Argument] “It’s cooling” [Paragraph] Empirical measurements of the Earth’s heat content show the planet is still accumulating heat and global warming is still happening. Surface temperatures can show short-term cooling when heat is exchanged between the atmosphere and the ocean, which has a much greater heat capacity than the air. [One Liner]

The last decade 2000-2009 was the hottest on record.

[0] 8 [Skeptic Argument] “Animals and plants can adapt” [Paragraph] A large number of ancient mass extinction events have been strongly linked to global climate change. Because current climate change is so rapid, the way species typically adapt (eg – migration) is, in most cases, simply not be possible. Global change is simply too pervasive and occurring too rapidly. [One Liner]
|
Global warming will cause mass extinctions of species that cannot adapt on short time scales.

[0] 9 [Skeptic Argument] “It hasn’t warmed since 1998″ [Paragraph] The planet has continued to accumulate heat since 1998 – global warming is still happening. Nevertheless, surface temperatures show much internal variability due to heat exchange between the ocean and atmosphere. 1998 was an unusually hot year due to a strong El Nino. [One Liner]
|
For global records, 2010 is the hottest year on record, tied with 2005.

[0] 12 [Skeptic Argument] “CO2 lags temperature” [Paragraph] When the Earth comes out of an ice age, the warming is not initiated by CO2 but by changes in the Earth’s orbit. The warming causes the oceans to give up CO2. The CO2 amplifies the warming and mixes through the atmosphere, spreading warming throughout the planet. So CO2 causes warming AND rising temperature causes CO2 rise. [One Liner]
|
CO2 didn’t initiate warming from past ice ages but it did amplify the warming.

However, weather imposes its own dramatic ups and downs over the long term trend. We expect to see record cold temperatures even during global warming. Nevertheless over the last decade, daily record high temperatures occurred twice as often as record lows. This tendency towards hotter days is expected to increase as global warming continues into the 21st Century. [One Liner]

Therefore human emissions upset the natural balance, rising CO2 to levels not seen in at least 800,000 years. In fact, human emit 26 gigatonnes of CO2 per year while CO2 in the atmosphere is rising by only 15 gigatonnes per year – much of human CO2 emissions is being absorbed by natural sinks. [One Liner]

Satellite and surface measurements find less energy is escaping to space at CO2 absorption wavelengths. Ocean and surface temperature measurements find the planet continues to accumulate heat. This gives a line of empirical evidence that human CO2 emissions are causing global warming. [One Liner]

[0] 48 [Skeptic Argument] “It warmed before 1940 when CO2 was low” [Paragraph] Early 20th century warming was in large part due to rising solar activity and relatively quiet volcanic activity. However, both factors have played little to no part in the warming since 1975. Solar activity has been steady since the 50’s. Volcanoes have been relatively frequent and if anything, have exerted a cooling effect. [One Liner]

Early 20th century warming is due to several causes, including rising CO2.

[0] 62 [Skeptic Argument] “2nd law of thermodynamics contradicts greenhouse theory” [Paragraph] The atmosphere of the Earth is less able to absorb shortwave radiation from the Sun than thermal radiation coming from the surface. The effect of this disparity is that thermal radiation escaping to space comes mostly from the cold upper atmosphere, while the surface is maintained at a substantially warmer temperature. This is called the “atmospheric greenhouse effect”, and without it the Earth’s surface would be much colder. [One Liner]
|
The 2nd law of thermodynamics is consistent with the greenhouse effect which is directly observed.

[0] 63 [Skeptic Argument] “The science isn’t settled” [Paragraph] Science is never 100% settled – science is about narrowing uncertainty. Different areas of science are understood with varying degrees of certainty. For example, we have a lower understanding of the effect of aerosols while we have a high understanding of the warming effect of carbon dioxide. Poorly understood aspects of climate change do not change the fact that a great deal of climate science is well understood. [One Liner]
|
That human CO2 is causing global warming is known with high certainty & confirmed by observations.

When accelerating ice loss from Greenland and Antarctica are factored into sea level projections, the estimated sea level rise by 2100 is between 75cm to 2 metres. [One Liner]

[0] 66 [Skeptic Argument] “It’s the ocean” [Paragraph] Oceans are warming across the globe. In fact, globally oceans are accumulating energy at a rate of 4 x 1021 Joules per year – equivalent to 127,000 nuclear plants (which have an average output of 1 gigawatt) pouring their energy directly into the world’s oceans. This tells us the planet is in energy imbalance – more energy is coming in than radiating back out to space. [One Liner]

The oceans are warming and moreover are becoming more acidic, threatening the food chain.

The error was incorrect citation, failing to mention the peer-reviewed papers where the data came from. The peer-reviewed science prior to the 2007 IPCC report found that up to 40% of the Brazilian forest is vulnerable to drought. Subsequent field research has confirmed this assessment. [One Liner]

Over the last 30-40 years 80% of coral in the Caribbean have been destroyed and 50% in Indonesia and the Pacific. Bleaching associated with the 1982 -1983 El-Nino killed over 95% of coral in the Galapagos Islands and the 1997-1998 El-Nino alone wiped out 16% of all coral on the planet. Globally about 1% of coral is dying out each year. [One Liner]

[0] 70 [Skeptic Argument] “CO2 effect is saturated” [Paragraph] If the CO2 effect was saturated, adding more CO2 should add no additional greenhouse effect. However, satellite and surface measurements observe an enhanced greenhouse effect at the wavelengths that CO2 absorb energy. This is empirical proof that the CO2 effect is not saturated. [One Liner]
|
Direct measurements find that rising CO2 is trapping more heat.

However, when they leave the atmosphere, they’re simply swapping places with carbon dioxide in the ocean. The final amount of extra CO2 that remains in the atmosphere stays there on a time scale of centuries. [One Liner]

[0] 75 [Skeptic Argument] “Humidity is falling” [Paragraph] To claim that humidity is decreasing requires you ignore a multitude of independent reanalyses that all show increasing humidity. It requires you accept a flawed reanalysis that even its own authors express caution about. It fails to explain how we can have short-term positive feedback and long-term negative feedback. In short, to insist that humidity is decreasing is to neglect the full body of evidence. [One Liner]

Multiple lines of independent evidence indicate humidity is rising and provides positive feedback.

[0] 80 [Skeptic Argument] “It’s land use” [Paragraph] Correlations between warming and economic activity are most likely spurious. They don’t take into account local forcing agents such as tropospheric ozone or black carbon. Correlations are likely over-estimated since grid boxes in both economic and climate data are not independent. Lastly, there is significant independent evidence for warming in the oceans, snow cover and sea ice extent changes. [One Liner]

Land use plays a minor role in climate change, although carbon sequestration may help to mitigate.

[0] 81 [Skeptic Argument] “Scientists tried to ‘hide the decline’ in global temperature” [Paragraph] ‘Mike’s Nature trick’ refers to the technique of plotting recent instrumental data along with the reconstructed data. This places recent global warming trends in the context of temperature changes over longer time scales. “Hide the decline” refers to a decline in the reliability of tree rings to reflect temperatures after 1960. This is known as the ‘divergence problem’ where tree ring proxies diverge from modern instrumental temperature records after 1960, discussed in the peer reviewed literature as early as 1995. [One Liner]
|
The ‘decline’ refers to a decline in northern tree-rings, not global temperature, and is openly discussed in papers and the IPCC reports.

[0] 82 [Skeptic Argument] “CO2 is not increasing” [Paragraph] Currently, humans are emitting around 29 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere per year. Around 43% remains in the atmosphere – this is called the ‘airborne fraction’. The rest is absorbed by vegetation and the oceans. While there are questions over how much the airborne fraction is increasing, it is clear that the total amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing dramatically. Current CO2 levels are the highest in 15 million years. [One Liner]
