Stumble it!Does a Global Temperature Exist?
posted in Global Warming by themaiden |I knew that the folks at RealClimate would be posting about the “global temperature is thermodynamically and mathematically impossible” paper published by Bjarne Andresen, et al.
What do they have to say?
The whole paper is irrelevant in the context of a climate change because it missed a very central point. CO2 affects all surface temperatures on Earth
Ah… so the whole of global climate science came crashing down with Andresen’s paper did it?
At one point, and I have to admit that this is intepretation, the RealClimate crew seems almost incredulous, perhaps stunned, but are too nice to blurt out “The man is whacked!”
Is this paper a joke then? It is old and traditional knowledge that the temperature measurements made in meteorological and climatological studies are supposed to be representative of a certain volume of air, i.e. the arthimetric mean. Essex et al. argue that it is not really physical, but surely the temperature measurements do have clear practical implications?
