Oh, so when it says that the Eemian was 1-2 degrees warmer what it means it that it was some special kind of warmer, not what we call "warmer" today, and that sometimes "warmer" means "cooler", which begs the question of what it is you mean when you say this decade is "warmer" than the last one when it was measurably "cooler".
This is the most complete conglomeration of data and analysis I've seen. It's not particularly well organized but check it out and draw your own conclusions.
What makes these record temps especially impressive is that we’re at “the deepest solar minimum in nearly a century,” according to NASA. It’s just hard to stop the march of anthropogenic global warming, well, other than by reducing GHG emissions, that is."[/I]
World Meteorological Organization and NOAA both report: 2000-2009 is the hottest decade on record Climate Progress
It is out of date, it does not consider data past 2008.
See the link above to more recent data by WMO and NOAA that shows the decade 2000 - 2009 was the warmest on record.
Oh.
I see.
The sun doesn't count for global climate except when you use it.
Meanwhile, how about if you start explaining why the last decade, which was cooler than the one preceding it, is called "warmest ever"?
Common English usage reserves the "-est" ending for the extreme, so if one decade is warmer than the subsequent decade, it's grammatically incorrect to call the latter decade the "warmest".
No, I don't think you see. What they are telling you is that despite the sun being at a solar minimum, we still had the warmest decade in history.
Since all the other predictions of AGW have also failed, the nails on the AGW coffin are being hammered in now. But just as Zeus had followers after the infection of Europe by Christianity, I'm sure AGW will have it's touts and pimps for decades to come.
Is the menial global temperature warming? Damn straight it is. Facts is facts. Is this not a natural cycle of nature? Who can say? We've only been keeping records for so long. Is it man made? I think the jury's still out on that one but I prefer to caution on the side of error and besides, it doesn't hurt to try to clean the planet up if we can.
But, with the erratic and unusual weather patterns we're having lately, snowing in TX and FL, east coast getting pounded, etc., I can see how the term, "global warming" might confuse the simpleton.
But, all indicators prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, the earth is, in fact, warming. Even though it might be hard to convince a citizen in Florida with snow in his yard, of that. If one looks beyond the boundries of their county line, and look at the world as a whole, the globe is definitely going through a warming trend.
Case closed.
Okay, the Earth is warming. So what? You think this is the first time it's happened?
Its the first time that man has been a factor in the warming.
It is the first time people falsely claim it is caused by man.
Thanks for the opinion! I've still got to go with the mainstream science consensus.
You mean the lies and the law breakers who will not release information under the freedom of information act?
OK you go with the conspiracy theory and I'll go with mainstream science.
Not conspiracy they are not releasing info under freedom of information act.
Researcher: NASA hiding climate data - Washington Times
Chris Horner, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, said NASA has refused for two years to provide information under the Freedom of Information Act that would show how the agency has shaped its climate data and would explain why the agency has repeatedly had to correct its data going as far back as the 1930s.
"I assume that what is there is highly damaging," Mr. Horner said. "These guys are quite clearly bound and determined not to reveal their internal discussions about this."
3 months old is out of date? Nasa has fought not to release data. so now they post some data. Nice try but it seems they have something to hide. Just like being caught posting same temps for 2 months and claim warming. They have no credibility.
NASA has no credibility? lol :lol:
Okay, the Earth is warming. So what? You think this is the first time it's happened?
Thats correct.
NASA Caught in Climate Data Manipulation; New Revelations Headlined on KUSI-TV Climate Special -- WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --
In a new report, computer expert E. Michael Smith and Certified Consulting Meteorologist Joseph D’Aleo discovered extensive manipulation of the temperature data by the U.S. Government's two primary climate centers: the National Climate Data Center (NCDC) in Ashville, North Carolina and the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) at Columbia University in New York City. Smith and D’Aleo accuse these centers of manipulating temperature data to give the appearance of warmer temperatures than actually occurred by trimming the number and location of weather observation stations. The report is available online at http://icecap.us/images/uploads/NOAAroleinclimategate.pdf.
Well, that question is far above MY pay grade. :rofl
The data only goes back so far. I can speculate, however. And I speculate that it has gone through this before. Countless times.
Although, it doesn't take a global meltdown for me to feel that we do need to control our man-made pollutions. That's just common sense.
But earth has gone through so many radical weather changes, ice ages, etc., that I am certain that trend will continue, with or without, our pollution.
That's just my opinion though.
I do get a kick, however, how people can politicize the weather. That's hackery at it's finest. All hacks do it regardless of their political persuasion, I have noticed.
What's next? I know! Let's blame the president for littering up the moon with that staged crash last year, thus upsetting the natural balance, causing a shift in the natural rotation and gravitational pull of the moon, thus affecting our tides and weather patterns. It's ALL the democrats fault! :mrgreen: [/sarcasm]
Perhaps, that's just the way partisan hacks "talk about the weather." :mrgreen:
CO2 is not pollution. It's plant food. ...
