Another fun quiz – but this time, there are no obviously right answers to any of these questions. Instead I’m just interested to see what others think may be the best answers.
(Please note, if there is not the appropriate response – leave a note at the end)
A global temperature has no meaning! Btw:
For some repetition from another blog:

(“So between say 1990 and 2005 global warming hysteria got embedded in the universities and was starting to get into the media and politics. Did it really only take 15 or so years for these institutions to lose their minds?”)
Such nonsense seems to start in 1964 when Dr. Goody published his textbook on atmospheric physics. In that text he referenced the theory of Dr. Satyendra N. Bose. In 1924 Bose wrote a paper deriving Planck’s quantum radiation equation without any reference to classical physics by using a novel way of counting states with identical particles.creating the field of quantum statistics, now generally ignored. This paper completely ignored Maxwell’s famous equations for electromagnetic field theory; instead substituting his concept of ‘statistical photons’ as the method of radiant heat transfer! This in turn lead to the concept that a black-body must radiate according to a function its own temperature (t^4) independent of surround thermal electromagnetic opposing field strength, for a BB, also a proportional t^4. Such a conjecture is in direct conflict with Maxwell’s field theory, completely bogus, only true for a surround BB temperature of 0 Kelvin, and a violation of required mathematical precedence in evaluating Boltzmann;s (S-B) equation.
Such is the history of what is still being fed to innocent university physics students. Only in some of the best EE curriculum do Maxwell’s equations, precede this utter BS. Without this nonsense no one could conceive of spontaneous thermal EMR flux being simultaneously generated in opposing directions. Such concept must be a violation of the second law of thermodynamics, An invention of a perpetuum mobile of the second kind, And the basis of all CAGW!! So no not 15 years, instead 53 years of the brainwashing of not so innocent children, many now college lecturers!
These are the same lukewarmers that never even got a chance at learning the scientific method of “For every conjecture, a demonstration must be carefully designed that needs only the distinction between ‘maybe and FAIL’, claimed verification remains but maybe!” Rinse repeat until Failure or no more money! The skeptical folk need to concentrate on the repeating over and over the complete lack of any science at all in what has so far been presented.
All the best! -will-
