Temperature Monitors Report Widescale Global Cooling

Twelve-month long drop in world temperatures wipes out a century of warming

Over the past year, anecdotal evidence for a cooling planet has exploded. China has its coldest winter in 100 years. Baghdad sees its first snow in all recorded history. North America has the most snowcover in 50 years, with places like Wisconsin the highest since record-keeping began. Record levels of Antarctic sea ice, record cold in Minnesota, Texas, Florida, Mexico, Australia, Iran, Greece, South Africa, Greenland, Argentina, Chile -- the list goes on and on.

No more than anecdotal evidence, to be sure. But now, that evidence has been supplanted by hard scientific fact. All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASA's GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously.

Good stuff, but note that this is looking back from Jan 2008, not 2009.

Oooh, looky here, we have a self-avowed troll.

Zot ‘im!

[AlmaKing]

Troll

Go back to DU

Global Warming as a viable theory has died completely.

“We are almost at a point in time where there is no longer such thing as nature. Humans and our waste have become part of nature, and that’s something we’re going to have to learn to live with.. one way or the other.”

I am a human, and my existence is pretty natural.

[Candor7]

My mistake, but OTOH, its timely what with Obama's Carbon Cap hobble plan for US industry.

Bye-bye coal.

Arizona and Texas will become the breadbasket. Everything will just have to move south about 500 miles or so. North Africa might become fertile again, too. You are right about needing nuclear power, not just to melt the glaciers for irrigation, but also because Arabs won’t be any easier to deal with in 100 years than they are now.

Beam me to Planet Gore !

Hundreds Attend Global Warming Summit!

LMAO...POST OF THE DAY, IMHO.

SirKit and I are proposing that if a Minimum occurs, which it will, if we continue along this path, it be called the AlGore Minimum. Or at least be called the Hansen-Gore Minimum, just to cement for posterity, the utter stupidity of these men.

[SuziQ]

ROTFL! That is awesome!

[SuziQ]

Humans and our waste have become part of nature, and that’s something we’re going to have to learn to live with.. one way or the other.

So what caused extreme climate change before we humans arrived on the scene? We are not as all powerful as many environmentalists would have folks believe.

The earth has been through cycles of warming and cooling that were more extreme than anything in human memory, LONG before we ever appeared on this planet, and it will continue to do so long after we're all dead and gone.

So, cap and trade, carbon storage, and other AGW schemes are NOT messing with a natural system? And it is a very large and complex system. Are you really arrogant enough to think that your schemes are going really change anything? Are you also saying that there are no natural, terrestrial and extraterrestrial forces, that don't affect climate on a massive scale?

Once upon a time they say; this planet was frozen solid like a cue ball. Riddle me this mister wizard, were the only living things, microbes, driving around in SUV's and belching out CO₂ from power plants that warmed it back up again?

Please explain the glaciation and warming cycles. The planet is 4.5 Billion years old; what is the average mean temperature supposed to be?

What will be your scheme if the planet starts to cool too much?

[SuziQ]

Heh, our #2 son is in Grad School in Austin. He’s an intelligent young man, but has just been steeped in the AGW lie. SirKit has been working hard, sending him info, especially about the book “The Chilling Stars”.

I said nothing about global warming and everyone jumps on me like I have an agenda. You need to learn to be a little less cynical and a little more open to thought.

Before the industrial revolution, nature was still nature. We are dumping and dumping and dumping into the earth and taking all of the oil, polluting the oceans, you think the earth just eats it all up and spits it out just fine? No. Plastic does not go away, my friend. You are sounding like you feel that everything we are doing to this rock has no consequences and that is pure ignorance.

The planet obviously goes through periods of temperature change, it is just that meteorology is still in it's infancy and is sadly failing at adapting to natural cycles. Yes, it was a joint national agenda to push the whole "go green" thing, intentions are easily spotted on the sleeves. You cannot deny that we are damaging this planet in other ways. Pregnant women aren't supposed to eat seafood, is this telling you something? It is strongly advised against for a weak member of society to eat a God given creature because we have polluted the oceans with mercury. And that mercury only builds up naturally. It is likely that a generation somewhere in the future will no longer be able to eat caught fish. Just think about it.

[AFreeBird]

I've been around long enough that my cynicism is well earned. But I'm not saying we should pollute the planet, and that it does not have consequences when we do. I never said that, nor would I. I don't however, consider CO₂ to be a pollutant either. And the church of GW and Rev. Algore are going to screw this country over trying to "correct" it.

[cartoonistx]

The question of what impact humans have on climate patterns is the debate. It seems the science is far from settled. But we are either part of the natural world or it's dominator. If we are merely part of nature then there is nothing short of our extinction that will halt our effect upon the Earth. If we are nature's keeper then we must always act to preserve our dominance.

If the globe is warming we only need to provide for our sustained comfort through adaptation to the new trend (move to higher ground and artificially maintain conditions that provide food). If it is cooling we had better find a way to raise the temperature to meet our needs (start pumping massive amounts of CO2 into the air ASAP!).

[wolfcreek]

Yeah, Austin (Keep it weird) is a great place to get *steeped* in Liberal thinking. It’s also a great place to live if your out in the mainly Conservative ‘burbs.

Does he go to UT?

[SuziQ]

Yep, he’s getting a PhD in Computer Science. He’s working on his Dissertation, or whatever they call it, now, and we (and he) hope he’ll be finished next year.
