"It is now clear that human (activity) has become dominant over the natural variability." BS! Humans haven't caused things quite like ice ages, of which there have been many.

With 2002 on track to be the second-warmest year on record, scientists said Monday they are confident that human activity, rather than a natural variation in Earth's climate, is responsible for the unprecedented warming trend of the past two decades.
Yeah, unprecedented. Of the last two decades. And yet we're still several degrees C under the 10,000 year average, still a couple degrees C under the temp of the Medieval Climate Optimum that certainly wasn't caused by human activity.

But there is no El Nino this year and 2002 temperatures are nearly as high as those of 1998, Mann noted.Last July, NOAA said an El Nino was underway this year. See http://www.intellicast.com/DrDewpoint/Library/1334/
Is Mann ignorant, or is he lying?

Where I live (Wisconsin) we just went through two colder than average months. Bring on global warming. Any upper Midwest resident who says he or she misses the days of thirty below or worse is cracked. If you don't like warmer winters, move north.

What liars cannot stand is simple truth and
facts:

This temperature update presents the NASA satellite measurements of monthly temperature anomaliesthe difference between the observed values and the 19791998 mean values. Global satellite measurements are made from a series of orbiting platforms that sense the average temperature in various atmospheric layers. Here, we present the lowest level, which matches nearly perfectly with the mean temperatures measured by weather balloons in the layer between 5,000 and 28,000 feet. The satellite measurements are considered accurate to within 0.01°C and provide more uniform coverage of the entire globe than surface measurements, which tend to concentrate over land.
October 2002: The global average temperature departure was 0.101°C; the Northern Hemisphere temperature departure was -0.111°C; and the Southern Hemisphere departure was 0.312°C.
Below: Monthly satellite temperatures for the Northern Hemisphere (top) and Southern Hemisphere (bottom). Trend lines indicate statistically significant changes only.

. A similar estimate has not been made for the Southern Hemisphere due to gaps in available data, he said. There you go! That's where all the heat comes from --- look South, young man!

Then I guess it is time for all humans to leave this planet and move to a new planet.

The 16 warmest years since record-keeping began in 1880 have all occurred since 1980. Last year was the second-warmest, but now drops to third.Warm is better.
Less need for fossil fuels.
Any dimwit knows that volcanic activity controls the climate.
Decrease volcanic activity.......warm up the earth.
Increase activity........dust will block the sunlight........cool the earth.
The "little ice age" after the great Krakatoa explosion proves the point!!

We're freezing our butts off here in Michigan, too drift. three days after thanksgiving We got hit by
17 inches of snow. Every time I have to shovel snow, or unbury the car I think "global warming my A$$!".

Indeed, studies show that 1998 and 2002 are the two warmest years in the Northern Hemisphere in at least the last 1,000 years, said University of Virginia climatologist Michael Mann. </> Bullhillary .... want warm ? Let's go take a look at the Jurrasic Period for warm climates.

Good, because I'm feezing my butt off in NJ.

"I see a whole lot of peaks and troughs in those graphs. Kind of hard to create a linear best-fit line with it." Yeah. They used to include the computer predictions on the same graphs but I guess the climate-change mafia made them take it off.
Another point: show me 10,000 years of high-quality, refereed, corroborated (more than one source) of temperature data, and then we can begin to have a debate about whether or not there is warming.
70 years or 700 years means nothing. A human liftime means nothing. We are mayflies in terms of the time scales that climate moves in; the height of hubris to think we can extract any meaningful data in even 100 years of data.
