Look at the troposphere data from NASA's graph's of temperature over time, and see if you can confirm what I read from the numbers:
The "0.0" reference point used for global warming claims is the early-mid 70's. Current temperatures are higher by about .8 degree C, but have been oscilating steadily without increasing or decreasing since that single peak of 1998-1999.
Since 2000, there has been NO detectable global warming. None. Zero. A lot of hype, but nearly 1/10 century has gone by and temperatures have not changed.
IF global warming (more specifically, man-caused global warming) does exist, or if the rate of temperature increase is actually proportional to the global CO2 levels, then temperatures now MUST be higher than they were in 1998. But they aren't. Bush has stopped global warming.
But (ten years after 1997's hype, 9 years after the peak in 1998 - and NO Kyoto protocols in effect, and NO reduction in CO2 emissions in the US, Europe, China, India, or the Soviet Union there is NO CHANGE.
Then, why should we expect global temperatures to change AFTER implementing Kyoto restrictions on the US economy?
WHY are the temperatures now (early 2007) at the same levels as they were at the beginning of that peak in 1998, and WHY have they NOT increased since they flattened out in 2000 - with NO Kyoto protocols enforced?
Thus, we have five years of absolutely "no change" in global atmospheric temperatures, and nine years of a a DECLINING global temperature!
(1) The democrat/liberals/international socialists have clearly been using the net rise (about 1 degree F) since the mid-70's as their foundation: Their entire case is based on extrapolating (or INCREASING) the rate of temperature over many decades past today's temperatures as a scare tactic. They take the 1 degree rise, then (in 1995), claim the rise took place in 15 years and extrpolate into a 15 or 20 rise in the next century. Now, 35 years since the baseline, global temperaures have ACTUALLY risen about .8 degree. 2.4 degrees in a century.
Not so bad is it. 2 degree rise in one hundred years. Certainly NOT what the media wants you to hear from the democrats.
But actually, for six full years (2000-2006) the REAL temperatures have been scattered, but have NOT changed. Yes, for seven years of unregulated (non-Kyoto!) energy emissions and (despite) tremendous increases in exhaust gases from China, India, Brazil, Korea, Eastern Europe, and Indonesia (and yes, the US and Canada have also increased emissions) ...... There has been NO increase in atmospheric temperatures monitored by NASA.
Now, we should agree one month of average temperatures is "weather". Two months of below average eather is alos "weather" - it is not a trend, and can't prove or disprove any global theory. Six months of averaged temperatures are "weather" and are subject to random changes. One year of averaged temperatures? You can argue: certainly one year can begin a trend, but it is also random.
But when the entire "curve" depends on reliable temperatures from only 1975-2007... AND the last nine years of that 32 "history of mankind's influence on weather" show a "no change" then you CAN identify a trend.
After all, 1/4 of the entire curve shows "no change" - other than exactly tracking the sun's solar influence (through cosmic ray cloud cover factors) that is.
Clearly, if the low point of the mid-70's is chosen as a basis - when a coming Ice Age was being predicted based on low temperatures- then current temperatures seem much higher, and more importantly to a mind-numbed public, APPEAR to be catastrophically higher than if a 5-year (or three-year) "running average" is used as a comparison of temperatures.
(2) If, as it appears, we are PAST the peak (or more likely) PASSING OVER the peak of the slow sine wave of global atmospheric temperatures, how likely is it (in the next 400 years) that the next Ice Age - now slightly overdue -will begin later than expected?
This is really funny. Bush never gets the credit for the things he does right. After all, we all know Cheney and Big Oil sit in an evil lair, frantically pushing buttons and pulling levers to the destroy the innocent, sensitive planet.
There are none I loathe more than anti-capitalist, anti-technology, anti-modernist neo-hippies.
Well, except for Revolutionary Islamists.
Troposphere From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Troposphere is the lowest portion of Earth's atmosphere. It is the densest layer of the atmosphere and contains approximately 75% of the mass of the atmosphere and almost all the water vapor and aerosol.
I guess everything looks self explanitory......
Bush, did indeed stop global warming. I am sure the MSM will be splashing this across the front pages tomorrow. < / sarcasm >
Actually it is our job to present this info to others in an effective way,
Thanks for showing me
I note that Bill Clinton and Al Gore left office in January 2001 and the amount of hot air emanating from DC was drastically reduced as a result. Then everywhere that Al Gore went to make a speech about Global Warming was in them iddle of a record cold snap. GWB has news conferences a couple times a year, and Dick Cheney hardly ever says anything.
President Bush did it simply by replacing the biggest windbags on earth.
So what are you saying:
I shouldn't trade my carbon?

LOL.
Al Gore is deeply saddened.
Good enough!!!
For info to your list.
This is facinating.
I thought Bush was only responsible for bad things.
Has the Global Warming crowd been able to explain the ending of the last four major ice ages yet? Neanderthal Man wasn't driving around in a Hummer.
BLASPHEMY !!!!
ANYONE WHO EVEN LISTENS TO THESE LIES IS GUILTY AND MUST BE BURNED AT THE STAKE !!!!
THE CHURCH OF GLOBAL WARMING WILL SUFFER NO HERETICS TO LIVE!!
ITS ALL BUSH'S FAULT !!!!
THE LEFTARDS WILL NOW HAVE TO FIND A NEW DELUSION TO GIVE THEIR LIVES PURPOSE.
It looks to me as if the lower stratosphere is cooling but the troposphere (the air we breathe) is heating up, which is consistent with the standard story.
GW PING!!!
