I learned by having a love of math and science,
Cypress shows he doesn't understand stats and the errors in the IPCC bullshit, just like you, buddy.
I recalled you laughed and said you had some friend at NOAA who said I was wrong about the oceans driving climate. You are fucking joke.
Go to the NOAA site and read
You warmers are total fucking idiots
Well your "love of science and math" aside, I’d stick to lawn mower repair if I were you, Doctor Science.
In this thread,, you totally bungled the science of your own article that you presented,. And as I pointed out, it was clear you didn’t understand the distinction between evaporative cooling (that results from evapotranspiration), and the greenhouse properties of the gaseous phase of water:

Here’s some more interesting climate science news, from actual reputable climate science experts.

NSF is normally a staid, and sedate Science organization, not prone to issuing scary-sounding press releases.
Even if hilariously uniformed posters like Dixie claim that evolution is all bullshit, and that increasing CO2 will actually be great for us, there’s one little problem Professor Dixie didn’t account for in his calculations.
Once you melt off the ice sheets and the permafrost, gi-normous gigatons of methane are released from the compromised and perforated permafrost.
Then, we’re in uncharted territory. All bets are off. Methane is a far more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2,
According to the NSF press release: “The release to the atmosphere of only one percent of the methane assumed to be stored in shallow hydrate deposits might alter the current atmospheric burden of methane up to 3 to 4 times,"
And, according to the NSF press release. “Release of even a fraction of the methane stored in the shelf could trigger abrupt climate warming.”
No doubt, life and indeed public policy is all about risk management. What I don’t understand is that Bush voters were willing to risk thousands of peoples lives, and trillions of tax payer dollars on Iraq. A “risk” for which there was ten billion orders of magnitude less evidence for any credible threat, than the evidence which has been presented for climate change.
Bush voters spent years telling Californians there was no risk if we drilled offshore our pristine coast. That it would all be an excellent adventure. Hmmm. That prediction didn’t work out. Cough, cough, BP.
But, when a risk of this magnitude is presented – the clear and credible potential for abrupt, disruptive, and possibly catastrophic climate change – Bush voters will deny, spin, holler, and screech about something they read on a rightwing blog. But, never will they present credible conclusions from any reputable, internationally recognized scientific authority on climate science.
But, it all makes for great comedy. I can see why science-deniers overwhelming vote for Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, and the Tea Bag Party.

Press Release.
A section of the Arctic Ocean seafloor that holds vast stores of frozen methane is showing signs of instability and widespread venting of the powerful greenhouse gas, according to the findings of an international research team led by University of Alaska Fairbanks scientists Natalia Shakhova and Igor Semiletov.
The research results, published in the March 5 edition of the journal Science, show that the permafrost under the East Siberian Arctic Shelf, long thought to be an impermeable barrier sealing in methane, is perforated and is starting to leak large amounts of methane into the atmosphere.
Release of even a fraction of the methane stored in the shelf could trigger abrupt climate warming.
"The amount of methane currently coming out of the East Siberian Arctic Shelf is comparable to the amount coming out of the entire world's oceans," said Shakhova, a researcher at UAF's International Arctic Research Center. "Subsea permafrost is losing its ability to be an impermeable cap."
Methane is a greenhouse gas more than 30 times more potent than carbon dioxide. It is released from previously frozen soils in two ways. When the organic material (which contains carbon) stored in permafrost thaws, it begins to decompose and, under anaerobic conditions, gradually releases methane. Methane can also be stored in the seabed as methane gas or methane hydrates and then released as subsea permafrost thaws. These releases can be larger and more abrupt than those that result from decomposition.
