The question has never been "is there global warming". No one disputes that we
have been gradually warming at 0.6C per century since going through the Little Ice Age.
The question is does man cause warming, and if so, how much? Is the feedback positive
in such a way as to cause catastrophic warming? Nothing shows that it is.
I love this document:
http://rps3.com/Pages/Burt_Rutan_on_Climate_Change.htm
Here is one of the key parts:
I started my research on anthropogenic (i.e. mancaused) global
warming (AGW) because, I found to my surprise, that to claim a
catastrophic AGW theory as a 'proof', the climate scientists
thought they only needed to show that human emissions MIGHT
cause a fractional- degree global decadal temperature rise, for
an earth that generally varies 20 to 40 deg F every 24 hours and
varies as much as 80 to 100 deg F every year -- This seemed to
be a Herculean task indeed. Also, the scientists have to do
their crisis forecasting by accessing a myriad of disparate
temperature data from often degraded sensors or temperature
proxies for a chaotic global system. That system has had clear
decadal sunspot variation, likely 500 to 2,000-year temperature
cycles, routine 85k-year ice-age periods, etc - all caused by
non-human effects.
Even if global temperatures were the result of a single
cause, the task of predicting future warming by the study of
measured, conflicting surface/atmospheric/ocean data, would be
difficult. With many chaotic causes (solar input intensity,
precipitation, cloud formation, greenhouse gas warming,
atmosphere-to-sea interactions, volcanoes, ocean currents, etc.),
the task seemed overwhelming. In short, I observed that having
adequate confidence in the data to make accurate, long-term
global temperature predictions would likely be impossible.
> Or is this evidence part of the conspiracy?
I will be interested to see what happens when all the temperature data is
released. Certainly satellite data sets, the only ones that can really be
trusted at this point, show that there has been no warming for the past
decade. You can claim it as the "hottest decade" all you want, if that
is the zenith of it then we are no longer warming.

An amateur practices until he gets it right. A pro

And the dryest, no doubt, Seon!
And somewhere else in the world it would have been the coldest and the
wettest
as is always the case, so how can the idiots even up various
temperatures and conclude that, not only the globe is warming but that
our emissions are causing the problem?
We've had a few very cool nights and I've been picking field mushrooms
that usually grow in autumn and spring (after a good rainfall)
NOT IN DECEMBER!
Not that the rainall was that good but they popped up along a causeway
that naturally gets more of the fall than higher ground.
Going to blame the mushroom crop for global warming also, Seon?

So why did some liberals call out and say it's been cooling? And why do
people like bonzo talk about global cooling? Sure I agree with you it has
been naturally warming since the last ice age that is a fact. However the
temperatures are now way hotter than it was say a century ago. There has
been a dramatic increase in temperature. It would be naturally warming
without humans yes but not as much as it is now.

A little warm? Um temperatures are way warmer then they were in the peak of
the little ice age (which only affected Europe anyway). That is why THE

You didn't read his post properly. He said "... gradually

He did not say since the last Ice Age. (or more
properly,
the last Glacial Period within the present Ice Age we are now in. As
hard as it may be for you to believe, we are only in an Interglacial
Period. A warm period during the Ice Age. An Ice Age consists of
Glacial Periods broken up by warmer Interglacial Periods, like we are
now in. We are still in an Ice Age since the Earth still has ice
caps,
glaciers, and ice fields.)
He said the 'Little Ice Age" (LIA) which ended approx. 1850.
Since then, in the last 160 years, we have warmed about one degree.
(I'm being generous to you.,. it is closer to point seven (.7) degree
warmer.)
As far as I'm concerned, it is normal to expect the world to warm
after the ending of the Little Ice Age.
I'm still trying to figure out why so many people are in a panic

The 1930s were about as warm as 1998, perhaps warmer. We need to see the

On what basis, other than sheer faith, do you make that statement? Are

Lets see if it doesn't suffer from the same crap the US data does
1 Urban Heat Island effect as suburbs have sprawled.
2 Sensing stations mounted within meters of man made structures such
as power transformers air conditioning ducts.
3 Y2K issues
Is the data 'satelites based' or is the data ground data based,
Lets hope the sceptics get hold of the data and audit it.
Anyone raising the AGW alarm must be treated with scepticism.
And lets see if there wasn't an el nino.

Hysteria or temper tantrums, nothing can be as
great a crisis as AGW nuts claim when it takes thousands
of sensors and a bunch of computer programs to find
three tenths of a degree, and part of that may be from
rounding up.
>Personally I prefer warmth over cold. So do my in-laws. They spend

Do all the AGW nuts live where no heat is
needed? Now, Pasadena, California doesn't need
heat but about 2 months, and not every day then,
in 1964 I lived in an old two story hotel in front of
the "Ice House", and on New Years day, for some
reason the steam radiators were hot, and it was
80 F outside, and I layed a pillow on the radiator
so I could lay out the window to see the parade
with Eisenhower as Grand Marshall.
I don't think ice can melt fast enough for
sea level to rise fast enough to cause much of
a problem except in special places like Manhattan.
If there was not all the talk against the US
being the largest economy the science of climate
change would have a better chance at being taken
serious.
I drove 7 miles to the closest grocery store today,
I wanted a few $1 TV dinners, but the freezers were
not working and the store is not one year old yet.
So I drove another 5 miles to the next grocery
store, and bought the dinners.
That may have taken a gallon of gas each way
in my old clunker, but I got in the habit of eating
81 years ago, and I can't seem to break the habit.
Sorry I couldn't walk the 24 miles, it was too
cold, and I hurt after the first mile.

The figures published in The Age from the Bureau Meteorology report are

1961-1990 average. And 2010 is forecast to be even hotter.
http://www.theage.com.au/environment/climate-change/hottest-decade-on-record-official-20100105-lrph.html
"Hottest decade on record: official"
Australia experienced its hottest decade on record from 2000 to 2009 due to
global warming, the nation's bureau of meteorology said today.
The average temperature in Australia over the past 10 years was 0.48 degrees
Celsius above the 1961-1990 average, the Bureau of Meteorology said in its
annual climate statement.
And 2010 is forecast to be even hotter, with temperatures likely to be
between 0.5 and 1 degrees above average.
"We're getting these increasingly warm temperatures, not just for Australia
but globally. Climate change, global warming is clearly continuing," said
bureau climatologist David Jones.

Records have been kept for a very short time period compared to the
age of the earth.
Given that the time span between (for example) ice ages can be in the
millions of years, of few hundred years data means very little.
Knowledge of the sun was very limited until the 70's when it was
studied by NASA.
This gave a very strong indication of the relationship between solar
activity and Earth's climate. However, 40 years of data ( available
due to the improvement in measuring instruments over the last 40
years), is simply not enough to discount solar activity and its
relationship to global warming.
The earth is getting hotter - but so is Mars.

So you simply believe the graphs? I assume that must be comforting to
you in some way, but you're practicing religion, not science. When you
can explain logically and convincingly why the graphs are correct, then
you'll be in the science domain.
The crystal ball needs calibrated, and the dataset
is still young enough to get a fair number of daily record
highs, which are still not as warm yet as other day of
year within a two week period.
The fact of the matter is, cold records are less
likely to occur in winter because to have a record low,
an Arctic front has to be in just the right place, it can't
be everyplace around the globe.
Those who make a big deal out of record
temperatures are just clowns, there have been
almost no all-time record in the last 20 or 30
years, the AGW nuts are trying to say that just
because it does not get as cold as normal, that
means its getting warmer.
So if it is cloudy at night, especially after
it was sunny during the day, and there is little
or no wind from the polar region, it may not
get as cool or cold at night on that date as
the normal or recorded average.
Big deal, it is still far from being a record
in any sense of the term, it just doesn't get as
cool, so it is getting warmer in AGW la-la land.

language, calling me a right winger, or a

The globe recorded its fourth warmest November since record keeping began in
1880, according to NOAA's National Climatic Data Center. NASA's Goddard
Institute for Space Studies rated November 2009 as the warmest November on
record, beating the 2001 record by 0.02�C. NOAA classified the year-to-date
period, January - November 2009, as the fifth warmest such period on record.
The November satellite-measured temperatures for the lowest 8 km of the
atmosphere were the warmest on record according to the University of Alabama
Huntsville data set, or fifth warmest, according to the RSS data set.
Warmest November on record for Southern Hemisphere land areas
Southern Hemisphere land areas had their warmest November on record
including Australia, according to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.
November was 1.87�C (3.4�F) above average in Australia, and several
statewide records were broken, with New South Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania,
surpassing the previous largest maximum temperature anomaly recorded for an
Australian state. The highest minimum temperature record for the continent
was also broken, with an anomaly of 1.61�C (2.90�F) above average.
Third warmest November on record for the U.S.
For the contiguous U.S., the average November temperature was 4.0�F above
average, making it the 3rd warmest November in the 115-year record,
according to the National Climatic Data Center. That's a pretty remarkable
swing from October, which was the third coldest October on record. Delaware
experienced its warmest November on record, Wisconsin and New Jersey their
second warmest, and five states had their third warmest November (Maine, New
Hampshire, Massachusetts, Iowa, and North Dakota). Eighteen other states had
an average temperature that ranked in the top ten. No states had below
normal temperatures for the month.
November sea ice extent in the Arctic 3rd lowest on record
November 2009 Northern Hemisphere sea ice extent was the 3rd lowest since
satellite measurements began in 1979, according to the National Snow and Ice
Data Center (NSIDC). Only 2006 and 2007 saw lower arctic sea ice extent.
During 10-day period in the first half of November, arctic ice extent
decreased below the 2007 record minimum, but rose above record minimum
levels by the middle of the month.

Glaciers the world over are melting.
Long-term mass balance records from Lemon Creek Glacier in Alaska show
slightly declining mass balance with time.(Miller and Pelto) The mean
annual balance for this glacier was -0.23 m (0.75 ft) each year during
the period of 1957 to 1976. Mean annual balance has been increasingly
negatively averaging -1.04 m (3.4 ft) per year from 1990 to 2005.
Repeat glacier altimetry, or altitude measuring, for 67 Alaska
glaciers find rates of thinning have increased by more than a factor
of two when comparing the periods from 1950 to 1995 (0.7 m (2.3 ft)
per year) and 1995 to 2001 (1.8 m (5.9 ft) per year).(Arendt, et alia)
This is a systemic trend with loss in mass equating to loss in
thickness, which leads to increasing retreat--the glaciers are not only
retreating, but they are also becoming much thinner. In Denali
National Park, all glaciers monitored are retreating, with an average
retreat of 20 m (66 ft) per year. The terminus of the Toklat Glacier
has been retreating 26 m (85 ft) per year and the Muldrow Glacier has
thinned 20 m (66 ft) since 1979.(Adema) Well documented in Alaska are
surging glaciers that have been known to rapidly advance, even as much
as 100 m (330 ft) per day, though the reasons they do this is not
fully understood. (Pedersen) Variegated, Black Rapids, Muldrow,
Susitna and Yanert are examples of surging glaciers in Alaska that
have made rapid advances in the past. These glaciers are all
retreating overall, punctuated by short periods of advance.

What do you mean by 'since solar activity has been going down almost
the whole time'?
Sunspot activity is following its normal predicted cycle since the
activity of October/November 2003.
But a few years of measured activity means zilch in the scheme of
things.

You made that up. I know because two years in the past decade have been
significantly hotter than at any other time in recorded history. And the
last decade was also the hottest

Sure, just look at the link in the article you replied to, or take a look at
the graphs here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming
And besides, being 'God fearing' has nothing to do with the debate. And Im
not sure why being 'right winged' seems to?
yes it has.
In what could be the simplest explanation for one component of global
warming, a new study shows the Sun's radiation has increased by .05 percent
per decade since the late 1970s.

In the real world PhD means a few more years at school and 'Piled

Its the 'climate scientists' who smooth the data that make the claim
of global warming due to man.

A PhD requires an original contribution accepted by professor review. Its
not attending classes and sitting exams. If these guys dont know what theyre
talking about, who does? Andrew Bolt? haha

By the way the temperature fluctuations now lie almost entirely ABOVE
the zero axis, whereas several decades ago they were evenly balanced
above and below the axis.
That seems a clear sign that the planet has warmed.
The one that predicts a complete year or a
future year, records are of the past, the future can
be anything.

I have no idea what value "climate" science
has except maybe to tourist advertising.
But it is the ones that predict the future
and describe the horrors that are clowns.
I don't claim that nothing bad will happen
in the future, in fact I suspect some things will
be worse for one reason or another than even
the clowns claim.

No I didn't make it up, I know pretty much
when and where the all-time high records occurred,
the climate science clowns don't go by "hotter",
so you are misrepresenting what they claim.

Then you have not been reading what the
AGW alarmist nuts have been saying, they vent
frustration in not having any good evidence of
real warming, the decline hiders use average
daily temperatures to compile the annual
global averages and do not use or remove
the outliers.

I don't think so, it may be the NH averaged
for those three months.
But then, anomalies totally hide facts.
You don't think annual averaging doesn't
smooth data?
Apparently the thread picked up from where
I said climate scientist alarmists are clowns, and
it was mostly your words that started the PhD
tangent.
I think too much is given education, while
experience is pretty much ignored, I don't know
many sciences very well, but because I have
almost turtle recall of 80 years, I have the
ability to do things out of the ordinary.
I really don't think much intentional biasing
of data has been the problem it is the inept and
delusional misinterpretations that result in all
the BS crisis proclamations.
I did think you were implying the scientists 'doctored' the data.
Of course averaging 'smooths' data. It helps to identify trends. So what? I
really dont get how you imply averaging data makes it look incorrectly that
man made global warming is occuring?

A touch arrogant?
Are you trying to tell us that over the 80 years you have developed a 'feel'
that the globe isnt warming / the warming isnt man made? Im not convinced.
Formally educated and dedicated scientists in the field, crunching large
amounts of data in big computers and working in a peer review environment-
this is convincing.

The averaging doesn't, the peculiarities of a
way less than mature data set can because cloudy
nights cause warmer temperatures and each year
there are "days of the year" that never had a
cloudy night before.
There are some ledgers that use numbered
days of the year, and using that with notation
which nights had cloudy skies can show what
the issue is.

No, what I said was related to the qualities of
education and experience, I wish I would have had
more education, but if I would have it might have
prevented me from doing a couple of the things
I feel were important.

Anybody can make mistakes, and being too
certain of a premise is a big mistake, when after
so many years of grants and gifts the industry
can't say for sure that it is getting warmer or
cooler, claiming a certainty of warmer reduces
my confidence in the factuality of articles.
Mr Windmill, your graphs would be more convincing if you provided
credible sources for the data instead of an anonymous website which
appears to be purely your own creation.
T.
Three separate minimums, 1650, 1770, 1850, separated by warming.

"Evidence from mountain glaciers does suggest increased glaciation in a
number of widely spread regions outside Europe prior to the 20th century,
including Alaska, New Zealand and Patagonia. However, the timing of maximum
glacial advances in these regions differs considerably, suggesting that they
may represent largely independent regional climate changes, not a
globally-synchronous increased glaciation. Thus current evidence does not
support globally synchronous periods of anomalous cold or warmth over this
timeframe, and the conventional terms of "Little Ice Age" and "Medieval Warm
Period" appear to have limited utility in describing trends in hemispheric
or global mean temperature changes in past centuries... [Viewed]
hemispherically, the "Little Ice Age" can only be considered as a modest
cooling of the Northern Hemisphere during this period of less than 1�C
relative to late 20th century levels."...

There is a complex range of factors that determine the temperature of a day.
Cloud cover is just one. While cloud cover can cool a day, it can also
prevent the night from cooling further so im not sure you can just guess a
conclusion of the overall effect. Unless the earth has been mysteriously
trending towards less cloud cover decade after decade for the last 100
years, I dont think its a factor
I give up.
