Climategate Scientist Michael E. Mann Exonerated


And just what do you claim that these graphs mean?

... alongside this LIE:
"There is a reason why I question the AGW hypothesis - the mechanism appears to be faulty. OLR appears to be trending up WITH increasing CO2."

"Satellite measurements confirm that less longwave radiation is escaping to space."

But more fundamentally, as I have already taught you in the "Missing Heat" thread, you cannot identify a trend from a graph and in science you are not ALLOWED to claim that you can. You must QUANTIFY trends, statistically, not infer them visually from graphs.

Your method of supporting your assertion is totally scientifically invalid.

What we can identify on graphs are approximate locations of maxima and minima, and in that graph of outgoing longwave radiation, we see that all the local minima correspond to the hottest years: 1998, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2010 -- in PERFECT AGREEMENT with the Anthropogenic Climate Change Theory.
