The predictions for the opening of the Northwest Passage were for the end, or at the soonest, the middle of the 21st century. How does that fit into your under representation of natural effects?Well, we can argue the technicalities until the cows come home. Point is, even if the solar TSI goes down to the Maunder Minimum, we will still warm.No, it is not. A beginning referance point is needed, and that serves as a good one. It does not tell you what the climate and temperature will be where you are, but it does indicate that it will be changing, and probably warmer.Every major UNALTERED data set shows the cooling that started in 1998. The only rise in temp has been in the back rooms and alleys where they have concocted ways to lie and deceive in an effort to keep the CAGW scam alive.
The Hubbard Glacier in Alaska has grown 70 kl in the last ten years. It was 70 meters from the land mass closing off the fiord and the bay from the oceans. Cruise ship companies no longer get near this area for fear of being icelocked and loosing their ship. (source)
The lie that things are warming is all but over... A La Nina is now forming in both oceans as the warm pools are depleted.. The next two years are going to be very interesting as temperatures plummet in the Northern Hemisphere.
I don't see the evidence for cooling on the GLOBAL scale. But then again -- it's pretty stupid to reduce all this climate science to a single number like "global anything" ---- isnt it?
"No it is not." What? Which "it" are you referring to?
If you are referring to having a single worldwide temperature value -- it IS kinda stupid. The Earth is not one big unified climate zone. And you could EASILY miss important climatic triggers by dwelling ad nauseum on this simple ruse for public consumption.
Even MORE so (stupid) to have a single "climate sensitity" number represent ALL of the thermodynamics of the entire globe.
That's what I'm skeptical about. (What else is new?) The only reason the MET made those comments about AGW winning out over a cool sun was that they are using the exact same models that UNDERrepresented natural effects such as the sun.
Garbage in --- Press Releases out...
