Luci says: “I'm waiting for one of them to explain the marriage between CO2 concentration and surface air temperature over the last 800,000 years (and most probably much longer) and why we should expect a divorce at this juncture in human history.”

The CO2 and temperature graph used by such frauds as Gore to promote the ‘connection’ between CO2 and temperature is this one:

http://www.grida.no/publications/vg/climate/page/3057.aspx

This graph is a trap to the untrained or biased eye and is analysed here to show that there is no connection between CO2 and temperature:

What a dope.

“Capiche” and “AGW is real. Deal with it and move on” declares steve.

Dopier

There are 2 measures of sea ice in the Arctic, extent and area; there is no ‘mass’:

Arctic temperatures according to RSS:

http://theclimatescepticsparty.blogspot.com.au/2012/01/rss-satellite-data-shows-no-arctic.html

That would explain why C&W used UAH.

And there’s Poirot arguing about satellites when I have given her chapter and verse links to her bible the IPCC which uses the pre-AGW satellite data.

Dopiest.

cohenite,

Sorry I can't match your impressive array of links : )

Here's something to chew on:

Check out the "Arctic Escalator".

You'll like the bit that explains "How 'Skeptics' view sea ice decline".

cohenite,

explain why the marriage between Temp and CO2 Conc'n, http://simpleclimate.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/edc.jpg , will end in divorce, or are you just a little over-excited about a recent slowdown?

Furthermore, it's your responsibility to provide an explanation for forcing that reproduces the temperature record over the last 800,000 years, so do it. Until you do, we must exercise the precautionary principle on behalf of our children, not fly kites.

Explain why Arctic ice extent is a better measure of the amount of Arctic ice than its volume.

I'll look at anything in a peer-reviewed, credible publication, if that helps. None of this WUWT and plagiarism therefrom.

@ Poirot,

<<I was under the impression that 1979 was when the satellite record began.>>
Easy. So if it's so limited, don't hold it up as some definitive proof!

<<Educate me, cohenite.>>
You can only educate someone willing of learn. Across the board --on a range of issues--you have shown yourself to be locked into your narrow views.

No kidlet, you're the AGW groupie, you prove it; read this first:

I've got CO2, you've got kites and lead balloons.

Sorry, you'll have to do better. My case is supported by peer-reviewed climate science, to which you have access, and you are also able to read the rebuttals of your position online with accompanying links to credible peer-reviewed journals.

You must account for the temperature record of the last 800000 years with a supported alternative hypothesis published in a credible peer- reviewed journal.

Explain why temperature has risen far more sharply, since 1970, than normal natural variation would predict. Also, explain why we should expect that a decoupling of the Temperature/CO2 concentration linkage of the last 800000 years to happen now.

You skipped the ice/extent/volume question.
