Science News: Expert says climate cooling misinterpreted

CANBERRA, Australia -- Recent short-term cooling of global temperatures shouldn't be misinterpreted as meaning an end to global warming, an Australian expert says.

Barrie Wanker-Hunt of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization says overall global warming is happening despite natural variability that can bring periods where the global climate can be either cooler or warmer than usual.

Seasonal cold spells can still be expected under enhanced greenhouse conditions, he says.

"Future changes in global temperature as the concentration of greenhouse gases increases will not show a simple year-on-year increase but will vary around a background of long-term warming," he says.

This underlying warming trend, he says, will highlight the need to both adapt to what is now inevitable change and mitigate even greater changes.

Notice the straw man argument that some people argue there’s no such thing as climate change?

Also notice a subtle change in their argument. The GW crowd has stopped promising to stop GW. And even if we adopt their nostrums and the planet continues to deteriorate, we were right to turn the world over to them because it would have been even worse if we hadn’t. They set up an argument they simply can’t lose, unless you smash their premises.

Same argument Obama makes about the stimuluses - True unemployment continued to go WAY WAY UP, but we are a success because we claim it would have been much worse but for us.

Barrie Wanker-Hunt (I cannot believe this is a real name, wanker-hunt seems like the name of a gay bar)
I think somebody's pulling UPI's very gullible wanker with this "story"... or UPI is pulling the wankers of all those uber-gullible global warming dummies out there.

Barrie Wanker-Hunt is a man? With a name like that? “ie”,” and a hyphenated surname usually designates female. Maybe he’s one of Peggy’s cousins. Well,,”ie”,,, not always, but often,,,,

“Up is down, hot is cold, white is black.”

It used to be that I loved science, and believed in the truth as demonstrated by sound principles and the scientific method. Science has become a tool for communism, just as the machete has been the tool of choice in the third world. They can and will, rewrite history, invent history, and declare fact reporting as hate speech. It’s interesting for me to think back when I believed in science over the Bible. Now, I’m believing a whole lot more in the Bible than science. Evil exists, and in my mind, there is not a simpler truth than that.

Weather -- sometimes it's hotter, and sometimes it's colder.

And the conclusion is -- We need to deindustrialize, raise taxes, kill off the useless eaters, and live in caves eating berries.

Worth repeating!

Liberals are useless eaters. Still, it would be a shame...

I would rather put up with rising seas and global extinction than continue to deal with these lying Marxists.

Al wouldn’t have to be hiding his crotch in that weather. His junk would have already turtled so far under that fat belly it would be at least spring before it ever even thought about reappearing.
