This will be the new meme now. “It’s happening we just don’t know when”. Too much money involved.

Unicorns are coming to destroy the world... only the NRA knows the best way to fight unicorns... therefore all countries in the world MUST support the NRA...

Yep, it doesn't matter if it gets very cold, the new scam is global warming is just paused or Global Warming is hiding, but when it comes back, oh boy we are going to be in more trouble then ever!

This (and ocean acidification) will allow them to keep the scam going for years if not decades

Actually, it completes Global Warming movement from science to religion, just as Christians wait the return of Jesus Christ, Global Warming cultist will be waiting for the return of Global Warming.

expressing skepticism of global warming gets you looked at like you are a product of inbreeding who ordered raw roadkill for dinner. Thankfully, some intellectuals are working to change this:


I had a discussion with an electrical engineer about global warming. I presented my case with good evidence and rational thinking I was talking with a rational person.

His response after this was, “why would anyone risk their career on something that wasn’t true?”

I walked away shaking my head.

I'm guessing they see the cooling trend starting to shape up due to solar sunspot inactivity.

They're just trying to cover their asses for what's ahead of us in the years to come.

Meanwhile AlGore laughingly counts his money.

it is a little frightening that the global warming harpys would stop screeching and admit failure.. at least this was an obvious deception to anyone with two brain cells to rub together.

what will be the next thing they latch on to?

IPCC predicted 1.3 degrees warming, now predict .12 degrees per decade. That be about 100% off in my book. They consider warming caused by natural causes and less on CO2 (AGW).There will be many socialist democrats cringing with that news. They predict any warming to be more beneficial than harmful.Ditto above., If you see a socialist democratic fraud still clinging to this big government radical democratic AGW scam you should walk up and B Slap them silly.

They are making a giant Alka-Seltzer to address this.

Just need more money for further research.

So they were off by a factor of 10 even with all the biased data observations they have produced.

Then why doesn't the article say that? ? ?

This article claims that the previous prediction was 0.2 deg C per decade, made in 2007.

Please read post 8:

The article says .13 instead of .12.

So... again I ask, why does the summary above say 1.3 when the article itself says 0.13 ? That's all I'm asking.

I clicked to the original article and it differs from your post.

it says.

“warming at a rate of 0.12C per decade since 1951, compared to a prediction of 0.13C per decade in their last assessment published in 2007. “

I saw that, too. 1.3 deg C sounded a little large, even for these doom-mongers.

DOOMAGE!

When dealing with averages, you can easily get resolutions of 0.01 degree.

Uhhm, no; you can't. You can get a calculated value in hundredths of a degree, but you can not get a greater resolution than you started with.

Least significant figures, and all that still applies, so your average is only resolved to as few figures as your least precise measurements allow for, no matter how many places you can divide out to.

why does the summary above say 1.3 when the article itself says 0.13?

I believe the issue is resolved by a simple explanation. The Telegraph botched the story, and still has it botched. I think when they originally posted the article, there was a typo in it. They had 1.3C when the writer had intended it to be 0.13C. They have since corrected it online.

However, the article is based on another article from the Daily Mail, which was posted separately on FreeRepublic at:

Global warming is just HALF what we said: World's top climate scientists admit...

This article was referenced by Izzy Dunne in a previous post on this thread. Note that in the Daily Mail article, it says the prediction by the IPCC was 0.2C, not 0.13C. I guess the only way to find out what AR-4 actually said is to wade through that report.

I found the following in IPCC AR-4. Maybe a more careful read will find other mitigating claims, but this is apparently where the Daily Mail got their number:

For the next two decades a warming of about 0.2°C per decade is projected for a range of SRES emissions scenarios.

Bah! All these paid-off National Science Foundation so-called “researchers” will be just as shaughty and act as smugly superior as ever. Ditto for acedemia, the MSM & lib bloggers, Dim pols, the UN self-proclaimed poobahs, all Weather Channel on-air people, Hollywierd, etc....

These “scientists” and “researchers” are an embarrassment to science. They should be fired and beaten with their dissertations. It’s all about stealing money from you and about control. The irresponsible twits should be imprisoned for what they have done(are doing) to societies.

no; you can't.

Of course you can. If I measure a 0-10V pulse that has a 59% duty cycle with a voltmeter that measures to the nearest volt, and I measure it a hundred times at random intervals, then my average comes out to 5.9 Volts. THat's a resolution of 0.1V.

It's not the same thing as accuracy, which is why I didn't use the word "accuracy".
