It is no suprise that there is a high correlation between global mean
surface temperature and CO2 concentration, since the CO2 concentration
is CAUSED BY the temperature.
Roger needs to make sure that he does not confuse the cause with the
effect.
WRONG!
Radioisotope studies indicate the Carbon in the
CO@ comes from fossil sources. *This was known
decades ago. *Study the "Seuss Effect."
I hope you do realize that the isotopes of CO2 you
refer to are created by the cosmic radiation you dismiss.


Boy! *Your're totally confused, Mr. Bedo.


I don't dismiss cosmic radiation. *It is quite real.
There are 5 decades of reliable measures for cosmic
ray flux.


I do note that the cosmic ray flux does not have a
high coefficient of correlation with the global
mean surface temperature, and the I conclude that
cosmic rays are not a cause of the current global
warming. *Mainstream science does the same.


We'll see.


We've already seen. You're wrong. Cosmic ray fluxes
have little correlation with global mean surface
temperatures today, and will have tomorrow. It would
take hundreds of years to turn around the 50 years of
non-trending data that I posted.
