Just sent the following missive to the Editor of FactCheck . org, founded by Mickey Mann:

"Perhaps you could share this correspondence with Dr. Michael Mann, your founder.

I recently encountered several papers describing how the tidal pumping of the Sun affects the Earth, specifically moving the tectonic plates with multiple overlapping cycles. This is the real effect of Milankovitch cycles. We all know that Milankovitch cycles are totally discredited for purposes of solar radiation.

https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2948/milankovitch-orbital-cycles-and-their-role-in-earths-climate/

Another paper by Dr. Anne Hofmeister also resolves many discrepancies in tectonic plate movement, mantle convection and subduction.

Tidal pumping stresses imposed by precession over geologic time frames also explains the formation of the broad Southern oceans while the Northern Hemisphere is dominated by continental land masses. Moreover, seasonal precession asserts stresses along the Peru-Chile Trench to open it up, allowing the water to warm. As the planet approaches the maximum stresses of the Winter Solstice, the opening of the Peru-Chile Trench initially melts the concentrations of methane clathrates in that region, thereby producing a cold water upwelling and signaling the arrival of the El Niño. Continued warming and evaporation yields the rainy season across the Amazon. La Niña does the same along the Tonga Trench, with warming and increased evaporation, providing the monsoons across Southeast Asia.

Witness the terrible submarine volcano off Tonga. The Tonga Trench is the second deepest Trench after the Marianas.

Here’s more on these two trench systems, plus the deficiencies in subduction. The workings of "slab pull” has a lot of problems.

In essence, these geologic events drive the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and almost certainly climate effects over longer time frames. None of these effects are driven by human emissions of CO2. CO2 is 0.04 of one (1) percent in our atmosphere. We are the water planet, not the CO2 planet. If the Earth warms, for whatever reason, the water cycle provides a nearly infinite and tunable cooling system. For any planet to maintain a fairly stable surface temperature, it does so by means of a condensible component in the atmosphere.

For Venus, the highly dense CO2 atmosphere asserts 90 atmospheres of thermal compression on the surface and Sulfuric acid condenses as the cooling agent. It has nothing whatsoever to do with "back radiation”. For Earth, water vapor condenses to rain, throwing off the Heat of Evaporation into Outer Space. Freezing to snow and ice throws off the Heat of Fusion.

I suggest that you examine the activity of the Gakkel Ridge to understand the warming of Arctic waters.

Nonchalant and unscholarly dismissal of geothermal heat in prior studies served only to defend a failed and untestable hypothesis of human-induced global warming. Show me any paper issued in the prior 5 years with any substantive message regarding geothermal heating effects. Subjective bias does not count.

You should know that West Antarctica alone has 138 Subglacial volcanoes plus the Bentley and Byrd Subglacial Trenches. Researchers from Washington University describe the bottom of the Bentley Subglacial Trench as a "magma blowtorch”.

Please do not do a disservice in Fact Checking. The Science isn’t settled. Far be it so.

Thank you.
