Warming and cooling of the climate is a natural occurance, we have ice ages, then we warm up. This is caused by the out of balance spinning of the earth and the orbit around the sun, which is also not stable. Everything else is just BS.
Why is this REAL scientist so much better than all of the other ones? Merely because he said something that confirms your misconceptions?
A picture is worth a thousand words
I wrote your handle down so I can send you a message the next time there's a new record year for average global temperature.
Global Temperature Trends: 2005 Summation
"The highest global surface temperature in more than a century of instrumental data was recorded in the 2005 calendar year in the GISS annual analysis. However, the error bar on the data implies that 2005 is practically in a dead heat with 1998, the warmest previous year."
"Record warmth in 2005 is notable, because global temperature has not received any boost from a tropical El Niño this year. The prior record year, 1998, on the contrary, was lifted 0.2°C above the trend line by the strongest El Niño of the past century."
"Global warming is now 0.6°C in the past three decades and 0.8°C in the past century. It is no longer correct to say that "most global warming occurred before 1940". More specifically, there was slow global warming, with large fluctuations, over the century up to 1975 and subsequent rapid warming of almost 0.2°C per decade."
Will 2005 Set a Record For Warmth? Does It Matter? (by Patrick Michaels at the Cato Institute)
"So, what else is new? We already know that the world is warming and that it will continue to do so for the foreseeable future (with or without any greenhouse gas emission controls). Record temperatures will continue to be set every couple of years or so. In fact, if it weren't for the 1998 El Niño, a new record high global average temperature would have been established in 4 of the last 5 years (including 2005). The big news is that 2005 will further establish that the rate at which temperatures have been rising during the past 30 years or so has been remarkably constant with a value of about 0.17ºC per decade, and it shows no sign of speeding up. Climate models share this constancy of warming; they just predict different rates. Unless that behavior is wrong, the additional warming until 2100 will be about 1.6°C, near the low end of projections made by our friends at the United Nations, and, frankly, too small to worry about, given that the energy structure of our society is likely to change dramatically in 100 years' time. We'll bet that no one points that out in December, when the warmth-of-2005 stories will proliferate like Santas."
(By the way, Patrick Michaels is a noted global warming skeptic. He's a REAL scientist too. The guys at the Goddard Insitute of Space Studies are also REAL scientists.)
