Temeratures Continue To Drop - But Global Warming Still Exists!
« Why Raising Taxes On Cigarettes Will Fail To Generate New Revenue | Main | Elendil's Journal Passes Milestone »That would mean that we have now had over 10 years of temperature decline. But don't tell the global warming advocates that there is no such thing as global warming.Official government measurements show that the world's temperature has cooled a bit since reaching its most recent peak in 1998.
Yeah, that is the answer. It is just natural fluctuations in temperature. Wait a second. I thought global warming was a run-a-way phenomenon. I didn't think there was anyway we would ever see cooler temperatures. But now all of a sudden it is no longer run-a-way. It is natural fluctuations. But this is my favorite quote from the story.Many scientists agree, however, that hotter times are ahead. A decade of level or slightly lower temperatures is only a temporary dip to be expected as a result of natural, short-term variations in the enormously complex climate system, they say.
"The preponderance of evidence is that global warming will resume," Nicholas Bond, a meteorologist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory in Seattle, said in an e-mail.
"Natural variability can account for the slowing of the global mean temperature rise we have seen," said Jeff Knight, a climate expert at the Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research in Exeter, England.
Cherry pick? You have to be kidding me? The entire hockey stick graph that "proved" global warming exists was nothing but cherry picked data. If we go back a few hundred years before the hockey graph starts we will see temperatures near the peak of 1998. But beyond that, the fact that we could have decades of cooling and believe global warming is still taking place is ludicrous. One or two years is a "flucuation". Decades is a trend."It's entirely possible to have a period as long as a decade or two of cooling superimposed on the long-term warming trend," said David Easterling, chief of scientific services at NOAA's National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C.
"These short term fluctuations are statistically insignificant (and) entirely due to natural internal variability," Easterling said in an essay published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters in April. "It's easy to 'cherry pick' a period to reinforce a point of view."
The funny thing is I actually agree that the cooling we are currently undergoing is a natural fluctuation. Just like the warming trend of the last 50 years was nothing less than a natural fluctuation in temperatures. The sad truth is that global warming scare was nothing less than a hoax. Much like the "ice age" scares of the 70's, it was a ginned up "crisis" that socialists in the environmental movement used in an effort to destroy capitalism. Fortunately, the world is watching their theories fall apart due to the current cooling trend. It couldn't have happened soon enough. A few more years of this nonsensical global warming scam and government may have actually implemented damaging economic policies. Policies that would have severely hampered our economy.
