1/6     Where'd global warming go?

        (Boston Globe)
        \_ the plural of "anecdote" is not "data"
           \_ That's right, it's "hockeystick"
           \_ There was data presented. There is 4% more CO2 in the
              atmosphere and yet the warmest year on record was 10 years
              ago.
              \_ Recall that the warmest year on record isn't 1997, it's 1936.
                 \_ NASA says the warmest year on record was 2005. What is your
                    source?

                    \_ That's nearly a year old. It was mid-year last year that
                       showed that the data had errors in it, and after fixing
                       the error, 1997 was not as hot as 1936.  Here's NASA's
                       corrected data.
                       http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/graphs/Fig.D.txt
                       I got the years wrong, it was 1998 & 1934
           \_ It is if you scale high enough.
           \_ wait, you mean all that stuff about polar bears and some
              bad weather and drought here and there isn't data?  why do
              you hate polar bears?  back here in the real world, we just
              entered the next solar cycle which is going to put all this
              'the scientific debate is done', 'man-made global warming is
              a fact and caused by co2' stuff to the test.  i predict the
              gw hypothesis will fail big time.  in fact, it already has if
              you check temps since 98 vs increasing co2 over that time and
              previous eras when temps went up but co2 wasn't being made by
              mankind at all.
