Algore will be deeply saddened, of course.
Dang global cooling!
It’s a new iceage.
We are all going to die.
Isn't it all about the Polar Bears?
Accelerating growth leads to exponential curves which leads to very scary computer models. Fear-mongers have been using the power of exponential growth curves to scare the masses for centuries.
Prolly not. They don't go by global warming anymore, it won't work and they know it. Now the point out "climate change". This is a change. They are always right under this scenario.

Just try to get him to admit it!
Can it still be called a "spike" if it is "imperceptibly small"?
It appears to me that such a minor change might be well within the normal measuring error. Too many variables to control to get a repeatable reading?
What do you think?
*I* have long been saying that we are in global cooling. Why has no one listened and sent me on a first class trip to exotic Bali for a few weeks so as to hear me out? The world is crazy!
I wonder about the accuracy of the 1880 “global” ocean surface temperature... and the comparability of that number to one measured today.
As I remember, the “global” satellite monitoring system then was a little less mature than today.
However, I’m sure that they have some pretty good assurance to call it down to 0.2548 degrees... either Fahrenheit or Celsius!

Care to comment?
They’re able to measure temperature to ten-thousandths of a degree precision?? I’d really like to see the thermometer that generated these numbers. (Yes, I know, these numbers are undoubtedly the result of averaging across a huge number of different thermometers. They’ve probably also applied ‘correction factors’ to the raw readings.)
Oh please! If you trust this, you’d have trusted Hitler!
Iz that cuz itz winture outsid?
It’s Bush’s fault.
I think this is much closer to occurring given historic trends and data. Probably within 100+ years if the 100,000 year cycle holds true.
Temps plunge? So what, it’s irrelevent. It’s not global warming it’s climate change. Haven’t you been paying attention? /s/
