The next five years will be interesting!

Subtracting out the rampant fearmongering during each heat wave and cold snap, the last five years were boring as heck.

And there isn't a real tight linkage between the surface and LT measurements. They can diverge

They can but we can simply compare apples to apples:

The satellite record (and this is the warmer of the two satellite records) shows no new spike above 1998. The 2010 El Nino is close though and the running average is a smidge ahead of 1998. All of the evidence supports a continued temperature increase of 0.1C or less per decade.

And then I realized this was an oldie from 2007. Don’t recall hearing of any success with this effort.

>> Funny, if we all just quit, if everyone who works for every oil company in any capacity closed the door, shut down the rig, parked the truck, whatever, and went home and stopped drilling, producing, refining, etc., where would Hansen and others of his ilk be?

He lives in New York City. He'd be dead ... along with almost everyone else in NYC, Boston, Philly, Chicago, Miami, SanFran, LA, and almost every other urban center.

My fault. I was trying to ping cogitator to see if he still wants to take that bet, but I think he left.
