Ian, When we waste our time trying to understand a nut like Nils-Axel Mörner and find he has little to say except Tuvalu, Maldives, and Hong Kong, against...
You mention "as should be expected during this long Solar minima", BUT See: http://www.physorg.com/newman/gfx/news/hires/1-320851main_tsi2_full.jpg The...
The physorg chart you offered shows the reduced solar intensity starting about 2004, so what if the 'extended solar minima doesn't occur till 2008.' I offered...
Hmmmmm, Bob describes him as a NUT. His bio: Dr. Nils-Axel Mörner has studied sea level and its effects on coastal areas for some 35 years. Recently retired...
Now to check his second claim, that they adjust the satellite data based on tidal guages: From the FAR: When computing global mean sea level variations through...
Arthur, You wasted my time downloading 15 maegabytes. The graphs look about the same to me for the periods that they both include. Both are about flat from...
Why wouldn't they use tide gauges to calibrate or adjust the satellite data? How do you expect to create a reference? If these scientists wanted to make a...
Fred Singer and others have often been labeled as kooks and nuts. Just shows to go ya. By the way, I was rummaging around in my boxes of books and found this ...

Bob, The normal solar cycle is 11 years. It can't be an considered an extended solar minima, until after 11 years. The FACT is, you don't see a similar slowing...
There is no good reason to believe that it is even 1 ft per century. See last series of posts. As to one foot being an issue. BS People simply don't live and...
You also need to have a look at what the tidal gage is attached to. Once upon a time, some surveyors were puzzled by screwy readings and found that their...

Because Tidal guages are NOTORIOUSLY poor. When you are dealing with measurements in the range of 1 to 3 mm per year and when the DAILY fluctuation can easily...
Arthur, "Studies by Chambers et al. (1998) and Mitchum (1994; ... High-quality tide gauges? Where can we see one? I guess that you have already seen Watts...
A coalition of coal-mining companies, yielding to pressure from protesters and the EPA, is creating a Mountaintop Restoration Program, in which one of every ...
I offer this for general info. Someone might say NASA made a bad prediction years ago, but I don't recall ANYBODY predicting this long a minima. I recall the...
But Bob, you CAN'T ,as you recently tried to do, use the CURRENT extended minima as a reason for the cooling that began in 2004. As the site says: Quiet suns...
But Arthur, I CAN use the reduced solar output starting in 2004 as a reason for the (tiny) cooling since 2004. Solar intensity varies by more than a watt/m^2...
Bob, Solar Cycle 23 had two maxima: one on about July-August 2000 with 170 sunspots, and the other on September 2001 with 151 sunspots. By 2004 the sunspot...
Sounds like a backhanded compliment from Bob when he said we're lucky the current CO2 levels are as high as they are otherwise in it's absence it would be...
Bruce, Too bad you didn't make a prediction back in 2006. I recall that other skeptics were planning not on cycle 24 being weak, but rather 25 being weak, and...
No Bob, you can't. To do so you would need to be able to point to a similar cooling every downside of the solar cycle. You can't. Why? Well there is such a...
Exactly Rich, some warmer is going to produce a modeling study showing how much colder it would have been without AGW. That it is not that much (strictly...
Actually Bob, the cooling hasn't been so "tiny." Based on 2-Year smoothing of HadCRUT3 data, between 1980 and 2004, there was a temperature increase of...
I am sorry Bruce, but we do not " know that the warming from around 1910 until around 1940 couldn't have been due to anthropogenic CO2." The CO2 rise is...
David your claim doesn't seem to square with the TAR SPM. See Figure SPM-2 in the Summary for Policy Makers They compare the impact of Anthro only to Natural...
