1/6 Where'd global warming go?

\_ 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.

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. |
