Climate and Weather

[Ricky Fandango]

The lat/long co-ordinates on the caption indicate that the picture was taken in the Mackenzie River delta.

Lots of trees in that picture, and it doesn't very dry.

What is the latitude of the river delta pictured?

I come up with 62 degrees N. The pic I posted is 69 degrees N. on a steep bank 100 km N of the current lowland tree line.

 

[Ricky Fandango]

What was your point in posting that picture?

"solid evidence of warmer times in the recent past."

"irrefutable facts are right in front of you."

"the tree rings indicate a hospitable spruce environment.
Where it is located today, is too cold and dry."

Baby steps, but I think you may be learning to walk.

What is the latitude of the river delta pictured?

The region where the old stump stands was warmer 5000 years ago than it is today.
Simple.

Simple.

So simple, scientists don;t understand wtf you're talking about. You must be a Nobel Prize-winning plumber!

Scientists understand.
A scientist took the photograph and had the stump radiocarbon dated.
Im just a humble plumber spreading the good news.

None of those statements hold any water (pardon the pun).

That's an assertion. How do you prove it?

In general, he's not concerned with things like actual proof.

Did the scientist in question make the conclusion you have posted?

 

[Ricky Fandango]

That's an assertion. How do you prove it?

The tree proves it.

 

[Ricky Fandango]

Did the scientist in question make the conclusion you have posted?

Yes.

In general, he's not concerned with things like actual proof.

The tree stump, the tree rings, and the radiocarbon date are proof.
Not conjecture using an unproven theory.
Tangible, solid, evidence.

Any moron can tell the photo taken by a scientist is obviously photo shopped...pinhead.

Based on past experience, he received a tweet or similar electronic message alerting him to the picture and was fed a conclusion something of the nature that the picture wiped all current climate science. Notice he didn't expose the source, perhaps because he has been embarrassed in the past when additional information about his sources was revealed.

 

[espola]

Yes.

You have one data point. You can draw a line in any direction through a single point. Tangible, solid, geometry.

 

[espola]

Yes.

On what page in Lamb's book did he make that conclusion?

 

[Ricky Fandango]

On what page in Lamb's book did he make that conclusion?

The page I posted.

 

[Ricky Fandango]

Read the book.
Open your mind.

 

[Ricky Fandango]

I laugh and laugh and laugh...

Nah, he doesn't get embarrassed, he just says he was trolling the whole time. It's the game that's played in here. Nutters are impervious to fact checking.

You only posted a picture and caption.
