Beam me to Planet Gore !
Increased warming was predicted by all modelers even on the assumption that CO2 levels did not increase. CO2 levels increased and there should have been even more warming. In fact there was no cooling. The climate models are no good!
correction: In fact, there was cooling.
That’s a very sanguine attitude. The one thing you can count on is that the neither the idealogues nor the conmen are going to give up their highly profitable boondoggle any time soon.
The link to the Study referred to in the article does not work. Does anyone know anywhere else it is available? I need all the ammunition I can find!
Speaking of global warming, I caught a blurb on The Simpsons when I was going through the channels tonight to see if I could find a preseason NFL game.
Homer, Marge and kids are sitting in their house in their warm winter coats, scarves and hats, freezing. Marge says “Homer, you should have paid the electric bill!” Homer says, “I thought global warming would take care of it. Al Gore, you can’t get anything right!”
The above is paraphrased, as I can’t remember exactly what was said, but I LOL’d...
I have read somewhere before that temperatures peaked in ‘98 and have been on a downard trend ever since. Every retort I’ve ever heard criticises “anecdotal evidence” or assures us that “temperature is not climate.” When someone asks them to tell us how they are so sure that the climate is charging headlong into warming when it hasn’t warmed since ‘98, they jabber about computer models or dig back in time to the same old charts showing carbon and temperature rising together in the nineteenth century. When you point out that the computer models did not predict what experience has shown, they jump into some mumbo-jumbo about how carbon throws everything out of whack, and how global warming causes both warming and cooling, or some such nonsense.
Since global warming theory has been around for decades, my question is why, oh why, did the green explosion hit us (and the marketing industry) with such fury? As I remember things, since I’ve been alive, environmentalism was always in the background, like white noise. Then, with Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth”—which was pretty convenient for his pocketbook—green was “it”: the political and economic fad of fads. That was in 2006, eight years AFTER peak global temperature. What they heckfire?
Wow. What a denier. The science is settled. Climate change is running wild. </s>
