Scientist express horror as they see a 2.5 C increase in earth's temperature

I just hope you do not live in Hurricane Alley. It is going to get worse each year.

Unless it doesn't.

Unless it doesn't.

Todd, when was the last time you had any science behind something you posted here?

Todd, when was the last time you had any science behind something you posted here?

Still looking for that historical 140-year or 10-year warming data?

I notice that you skipped the part about all the past forecasts proven to be totally false.

I did not. That is where I said "You have bought in to a lie from the fossil fuel industry's misinformation campaign. Those many predictions you see listed all over the internet are not the predictions of mainstream science. Most of them are actually the statements of deniers. "

Says Al Gore said in 2009 that “the North Pole will be ice-free in the summer by 2013 because of man-made global warming.”

Al Gore isn't a scientist.

· It spoke of global warming "shutting down the ocean conveyor" - the process by which the gulf stream is carried over the north Atlantic to western Europe. The judge said that, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, it was "very unlikely" that the conveyor would shut down in the future, though it might slow down

Gulf Stream could collapse as early as 2025, study suggests

The Gulf Stream system could collapse as soon as 2025, a new study suggests. The shutting down of the vital ocean currents, called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (Amoc) by scientists, would bring catastrophic climate impacts.

· Mr Gore had also claimed - by ridiculing the opposite view - that two graphs, one plotting a rise in C02 and the other the rise in temperature over a period of 650,000 years, showed "an exact fit". The judge said although scientists agreed there was a connection, "the two graphs do not establish what Mr Gore asserts"

The correlation coefficient between CO2 and temperature for the Antarctic and Greenland ice cores is 0.81. That fact establishes what Mr Gore asserted.

· Mr Gore said the disappearance of snow on Mt Kilimanjaro was expressly attributable to human-induced climate change. The judge said the consensus was that that could not be established.

Big whoop.

· The drying up of Lake Chad was used as an example of global warming. The judge said: "It is apparently considered to be more likely to result from ... population increase, over-grazing and regional climate variability"

How about these data?

Ice sheet mass balance

Cumulative change in mass of ice sheets, measured relative to a base year of 2002. For reference, 1,000 billion metric tons is equal to about 260 cubic miles of ice—enough to raise sea level by about 3 millimeters.

· Mr Gore ascribed Hurricane Katrina to global warming, but there was "insufficient evidence to show that"

Artistic license.

· Mr Gore also referred to a study showing that polar bears were being found that had drowned "swimming long distances to find the ice". The judge said: "The only scientific study that either side before me can find is one which indicates that four polar bears have recently been found drowned because of a storm"

Polar bears, walrus and seal require floating ice for feeding and reproduction. Guess what's been happening with the Arctic ice sheet volume?

That you would choose to make this argument tells me that in light of the eighteen years of actual science since "An Inconvenient Truth", you haven't got diddly squat.
