4th warmest January

[Abraham3]

That's right. It's even bigger than the American northeast.

4th warmest January Alaska and western Canada was really hot!

You know Matthew, y'all are going to eventually have to decide if temperatures are going up, or if they are merely changing. If you keep jumping back and forth between hypothesis, people are going to notice.

Look what global temperatures did starting in 1941.

Temperatures plummeted and the world did not start warming again for almost FORTY years. But that was not the end of global warming. Given that FACT, where in god's name do you get the idea that THIS hiccup IS?

For the denier contention re the current hiatus to have ANY validity, you need to be able to identify a causative mechanism. Mainstream science HAS a causative mechanism for the last 150 years' warming: human GHG emissions and land clearing. And given what happened between 1941 add 1979, the current hiatus is WELL within the demonstrated natural variation.

The actual cause of the current hiatus is still under investigation, but it appears as if research is closing in on an ENSO-controlled function that alters tropical wind patters and thus heat transport mechanisms and causes surface heat energy to be carried to the deep ocean. That is still a hypothesis in development, but it is infinitely more than the denier camp is sporting. They not only lack ANY hypothesis as to the cause of the hiatus, they lack a viable hypothesis as to the cause of the warming the hiatus interrupted. That is not the nature of a hypothesis with which a reasonable person would challenge all of mainstream science.

Keeping it real s0n........keeping it real!!!

Keeping it real s0n........keeping it real!!!

Who could of predicted we see a surface pause for about a decade in the 1990's? Predicting the short term climate is really hard.

Predicting the weather is easy. The Farmer's Almanac has been doing that with astonishing accuracy for hundreds of years. The problem current climatologists are having is the weather not cooperating with their goals of obtaining grant money.

Yes, let's keep it real

Do you even realize what you've said?

Yep,

the ipcc models couldn't forecast 10 years into the future. lol
