    “When I can go back.”
    Let us know – we could all try to help a bit.

    Ilargi, Our thoughts are with you and your mother. My mother passed in May at the age of 97. It seems like a round trip ticket. Mother rode the train here from 1918, and we get to ride it back. Enjoy the scenery.

    The “CO2 hypothesis” is coming apart at the seams:
    “What is contestable is the explanation given for this increase. It is commonly assumed that the increase is entirely due to human industrial activity and land-use changes. It is commonly assumed that the movement of CO2 through the oceans and the biosphere, the Carbon Cycle, is well understood and that the human contribution is both significant and harmful. The bomb-test curve shows these assumptions to be questionable. It shows that the Carbon Cycle is certainly not well understood and that atmospheric CO2 does not behave as we thought it did back in 1995 when the IPCC was set up. As more information comes to light, the assumptions on which “Climate Science” is based become ever more dubious.”

    Nassim, the bomb-test carbon was mostly taken up by the oceans. Like everything else…

    “Every year the oceans exchange approximately 90 Gt C with the atmosphere. 92 Gt go in and 90 Gt comes out again. Surface ocean waters contain about 1020 Gt C and so what happens is that 92 Gt goes in, mixes with 1000 Gt and what comes out again is not the same CO2 molecules that went in. What we are trying to measure using the bomb 14C data is the rate at which that notional 2 Gt difference is sequestered. The bomb 14C data can only be used to measure that if the CO2 exhaled had the exact same 14C composition (14C/12C) as that inhaled and this will clearly not be the case.”

    What’s up with the Bomb Model?
