Global Warming

Is the earth globally warming yet

Has been for decades.

Sorry if you don't believe in statistical data... but there it is.

You must mean other than the last 17 years...if you are going on the statistical data which you believe in

The last 17 have been the warmest on record.

Sorry if that doesn't fit with your "cooling period" bullshit, but, there it is.

Warmest years on record... and yet it's touted as evidence that the world isn't in a warming trend.

Only in... well, anywhere, it seems.

So what you're trying to say is that even though CO2 has increased phenomenally, the global temp has stayed the same over the last 17 years.

Goodo

BETWEEN 1998 and 2013, the Earth’s surface temperature rose at a rate of 0.04°C a decade, far slower than the 0.18°C increase in the 1990s. Meanwhile, emissions of carbon dioxide (which would be expected to push temperatures up) rose uninterruptedly. This pause in warming has raised doubts in the public mind about climate change. A few sceptics say flatly that global warming has stopped. Others argue that scientists’ understanding of the climate is so flawed that their judgments about it cannot be accepted with any confidence.

The Earth is warming it is just not as much as originally projected. 0.04 C is warming in the last 15 years and it is just much less than the 0.18C in the 1990s.

0.04C is not a halt in the warming. It is just slower...

Seventeen and a half years. Not a flicker of global warming. The RSS satellite record, the first of the five global-temperature datasets to report its February value, shows a zero trend for an impressive 210 months.

The graph below shows no global warming at all for 17 years 6 months:



Yep there it is alright

1: This graph is highly topical. It is right up to date. Remote Sensing Systems, Inc. (RSS) is one of the two satellite-based datasets (the other is the University of Alabama at Huntsville (UAH). And RSS is one of the five standard global temperature datasets, which include the two satellite datasets and the three terrestrial datasets – Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS); the Hadley Centre/CRU dataset, version 4 (HadCRUT4); and the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). As this month, RSS is usually the first to report, and its latest monthly value, for February 2014, became available just hours ago.

2: The satellite datasets are based on measurements made by the most accurate thermometers available – platinum resistance thermometers, which not only measure temperature at various altitudes above the Earth’s surface via microwave sounding units but also constantly calibrate themselves by measuring the known temperature of the cosmic background radiation, which is 1% of the freezing point of water, or just 2.73 degrees above absolute zero. It was by measuring minuscule variations of the cosmic background radiation that the NASA anisotropy probe enabled the age of the Universe to be determined: it is 13.82 billion years.

3: The graph is accurate. The data are lifted monthly directly from the RSS website. They are read down from the text file by a computer algorithm and plotted automatically using an advanced routine that automatically adjusts the aspect ratio of the data window at both axes so as to show the data at maximum size. The latest monthly data point is visually inspected to ensure that it has been correctly positioned. The light blue trend line plotted beneath the dark blue spline-curve showing the actual data is calculated by the method of least-squares linear regression, which determines the y-intercept and slope of the line via two well-established and functionally identical equations that are compared with one another to ensure no discrepancy between them. Least-squares linear regression is used by the IPCC and by most other agencies for determining global temperature trends. Interestingly, it is recommended by Professor Phil Jones of the University of East Anglia in one of the Climategate emails, so no one on the true-believing side will challenge its appropriateness. The reliability of the trend calculation by the algorithm was verified by Dr Stephen Farish, Professor of Epidemiological Statistics at the University of Melbourne.

4: The graph is news. Not only is it very recent: it is also something that the mainstream news media very seldom reveal. They tend to keep the now embarrassingly long hiatus in global warming secret.

I like statistical data

Just imagine the hand wringers and bedwetters if the tail end of that graph keeps up its trend downwards. The wailing and gnashing of teeth will be deafening. How could they possibly go on with their scam?

How disappointed they will all be that we don't have to go back and live in caves and that economic prosperity can continue unabated without having to tax people to breath.

How many years will it take before they will admit that their scam is up?

I see SN still has no concept of significance when it comes to statistics. Nice cherry picking of years too, SN. Feel the need to do it because you lost the argument?

[IQS.RLOW]

No significant warming over the last 17 years. No significant warming over the last 17 years. No significant warming over the last 17 years. No significant warming over the last 17 years. No significant warming over the last 17 years. No significant warming over the last 17 years. No significant warming over the last 17 years. No significant warming over the last 17 years.

Repeat the facts after me SN... Don't you like facts?

Cue SN posting yet another alarmist article that purports "weeere allll rooooned unless we are taxed- govt must act naaaaooooo" because govt has managed to fix so many things
