Can't we at least TRY to be smarter than the Global Warming idiots?

Global temperature changes take place over thousands of years, often tens of thousands. Anyone who interprets a few years here or there is reading NOISE in the overall curve.

It may be useful or meaningful for the particular people living at that particular time, but IT'S MEANINGLESS in terms of overall Earth temperatures such as any form of global warming or cooling.

The Earth has undergone much larger temperature swings than anyone alive can even imagine, much less has experienced. BUT IT TAKES THOUSANDS OR TENS OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS to establish such trends.

SO CAN WE PLEASE STOP THIS STUPID CROWING ABOUT HOW IT'S BEEN A COLD YEAR, OR ICE IS THE SAME AS IT WAS 30 YEARS AGO???

Makes us sound as ridiculous as the AGW idiots. Geez.

Not necessarily. Evidence indicates ice ages will set in within a single decade.

Otherwise, I agree with your post.

You’re reading stupidity into sarcasm.

Trust me, these prople aren’t stupid and know that a warm or cold year doesn’t mean much one way or the other.

I will point out that ice cores show some pretty dramatic changes over just a few years.

uh, the other side is claiming that the sea levels are rising and temperatures are increasing when they absolutely are not. Reality does not match with the AlGorebasm’s scare tactics.

The other side claims that due to Bush’s evil policies all hell is breaking loose, when in fact, things are unchanged.

We have no choice, because the AGW lunatics leap on every warm zephyr as proof. Not only that, but they’re totally unscrupulous about how they manipulate information.

True. To quote:

A single sparrow does not a spring make.

But lower temps and oceans does fit nicely with the downturn in sunspots.

As El Rushbo would put it, we illustrate absurdity through absurdity. In any event, at least current cooling trends correlate to some scientific observation - that being solar activity and climate changes on earth.

Not true:

Abrupt Climate Change

The most spectacular aspect of the YD [Younger Dryas] is that it ended extremely abruptly (around 11,600 years ago), and although the date cannot be known exactly, it is estimated from the annually-banded Greenland ice-core that the annual-mean temperature increased by as much as 10°C in 10 years.

It's always a good idea to have one's facts straight before declaring the ignorance of others.
