Global Warming … in the 1930s
[A]ccording to NASA’s newly published data:
- The hottest year on record is 1934, not 1998;
- The third hottest year on record was 1921, not 2006;
- Three of the five hottest years on record occurred before 1940;
- Six of the top 10 hottest years occurred prior to 90 percent of the growth in greenhouse gas emissions during the last century.

Spin it, Errorick!
“Small changes in circumstances can make a big difference to the compatibility of the statistics. Urban sprawl, for example, can mean a meteorological station that was in the countryside 50 years ago is today part of a city, making comparison of temperature records pointless without taking the changes into account.
In terms of worldwide average temperatures, the impact of the mistake is in the order of about a thousandth of a degree Celsius. ”
A thousandth of a degree Celsius!

Rover, Rover, Rover,
Can you tell all of us what ended the LAST SIX ice ages?
For some odd reason, you global warming lunatics don’t care to mention that.
STOP GLOBAL WARMING! STICK A SOCK IN AL GORE’S MOUTH AND BLOCK ALL THE HOT AIR!

So let’s surrender the world’s economy to the environmentalists, provacateurs and opportunists.
http://www.cei.org/pdf/5331.pdf
Global average temperature is about 0.6°Celsius—or just over 1°Fahrenheit—higher than it was a century ago;
Both James Hansen of NASA (the father of greenhouse theory) and Richard
Lindzen of MIT (the most renowned climatologist in the world) agree that, even if nothing is done to restrict greenhouse gases, the world will only see a global temperature increase of about 1°C in the next 50-100 years. Hansen and his colleagues “predict additional warming in the next 50 years of 0.5 ± 0.2°C, a warming rate of 0.1 ± 0.04°C per decade.”4

hoads,
How wonderful to have an undated and unsigned pdf document to define the status of Global Warming that does not contain Hansen or Lindzen references.
Everyone can see clearly why authorities are blamed for obeying the hidden agendas of “environmentalists, provacateurs and opportunists.”

I’ve “chilled out” somewhat on global warming after reading this. But I still prefer oxygen to CO2, and forests to erosion and desertification.
“CO2 increases have historically lagged behind temperature increases. The reason has always been that most CO2 is sequestered in the oceans. Solubility of CO2 in water is inversely proportional to the temperature. The higher the temp, the lower the solubility. That is why a can of Coke left in the sun will expand and burst. The CO2 is boiling out of solution and taking up more space in the can. This is not news, this has been known for a century or more.”

And if the “enviros” have an agenda here what’s the agenda of the polluters?

Bill,
Did you see the legal actions filed to make oceans protected waters?
An action to make states stop adding CO2, which allegedly causes acidification (is that a word?).
Now if the ocean doesn’t get the CO2, just where is it going to go?
WAIT! We’ll increase the amount in Coco-Cola! New Coke jingle.
Environmentally friendly (until you open it).
Keep your pantry green with a couple cases always on the shelf!

The Anchorage Daily News ran a piece today on the warming in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas. You can’t argue that sea ice is shrinking/disappearing.

The only question worth asking at this point is “how warm will it get?”

I’d say about 96 degrees.

lol
98.6

But aren’t they sick of all that ice everywhere? And when a Woolie Mammoth is uncovered under the melting ice everybody eats for free. (It takes a Village)

Is that why it’s so foamy along the edges?

The ocean is really Mountain Dew.
