The hockey stick graph has been confirmed by more than a dozen independent studies, using different proxies, in different localities, by different researchers. You may not like the results, but they have stood up very well to independent research.Can someone explain to me why “global warming” is even a big deal? In the history of the earth temperature goes up and down. According to every model I’ve seen were in an overall down trend in temperature. Humans have lived in ridiculously warm periods much much hotter than the earth is right now. I️ could see if we were at the height of one of those warm periods and we were adding on to it, it could be a problem.
We shouldn’t fight the change. Adapt, same way we’ve been doing it for hundreds of thousands of years. In the times where the earth was so much hotter than it is today, our ancestors didn’t even have AC. I️ think it will be easier in modern times to deal with a warmer climate.
If you’re sad about your beach house you just have to realize that times change and the mountains can be just as nice of a vacation spot.
Our current crop of alarmists do not like the word "CONTEXT"...
All temperature variations need to be looked at in context. One of the biggest problems is the spatial resolution of long term records (one data point for 500 years. this averages the whole record to one point and all of the trends within are lost). Most people who are not trained in science do not understand this. This is how Michael Mann created his infamous Hockey Stick. 99% of his record was made from 250-500 year data point plots and then he tacked the yearly plots on the end of it. The data on the end would be gone if it were properly placed in an averaged point. IT was pure deception.
Again we need the context they are unwilling to provide to easily duped people.

Of course. Why else would they give Michael Mann a Nobel Prize?
