Heresy!!!
Climate Change... (I got the memo, it’s not ‘global warming’ anymore)
See??? Climate Change is real!!!!
This isn’t the Word of the Day thread but here is a word, a real word from the medical dictionary:
Main Entry: al·gor
Pronunciation: al-g()r
Function: noun
: a sensation of coldness : CHILL
Nothing to do with Algore of course. Nope, not even close. LOL
Algore: Oh noes!!!
Algore is deeply saddened.
¿La Niña?
It is all the Glaciers drom Greenland melting into the sea as well as the Larsen B ice shelf. Kinda like putting ice cubes into a gin and tonic. All we need are limes and we would be set. Also, don’t they have any floating parking lots to place thermometers on? That would yeild the results Saint Al and his Branch Algorians desire.
If you look at the air temp data from 2001 forward, there has been no warming, if anything slight cooling. Another inconvenient truth.
Read the 5th paragraph.
A reminder: Cooler water retains carbon dioxide in higher concentrations.
Will we soon hear of diminishing atmospheric CO2 levels?
See - Al Gore was right! Live Earth was a success!
We've started to reverse the trend - but much more work is needed.
Keep up the good work!
And keep those contributions rolling in!
Actually, any glacier ice melting into the sea would be WARMER than the sea it’s melting into, since the glacier ice is fresh water.
Any decrease in temperatures or change in opposition to the Global Warming (tm) brand Supposition always has a natural, Mother Earth-based explanation.
A small uptick in the “preferred” direction means there are too many Hummers, too much capitalistic success.
Just so I am clear.
Don’t confuse me with facts. Ice cubes are ice cubes.
My question: what will you write when the next year with a moderate-to-strong El Nino sets a new global high temperature record?
I'm as sure of that happening as I am sure that the Sun will rise tomorrow. There are only some extreme circumstances that could prevent either from occurring.
"The red line is the annual global-mean GISTEMP temperature record (though any other data set would do just as well), while the blue lines are 8-year trend lines - one for each 8-year period of data in the graph. What it shows is exactly what anyone should expect: the trends over such short periods are variable; sometimes small, sometimes large, sometimes negative - depending on which year you start with. The mean of all the 8 year trends is close to the long term trend (0.19ºC/decade), but the standard deviation is almost as large (0.17ºC/decade), implying that a trend would have to be either >0.5ºC/decade or much more negative (< -0.2ºC/decade) for it to obviously fall outside the distribution. Thus comparing short trends has very little power to distinguish between alternate expectations."
Another inconvenient truth.
Yep.
