LOLOLOL....yeah, it "cooled"....a tiny bit relative to some other very recent years that were a bit hotter....but 2011 was still 'hotter' than about 150 of the last 160 years that they've kept temperature records. Only desperate denier cultists would be silly enough to call that "cooling".
Moreover, "CO2 gas does not" have to "explain that" slight dip in temperatures this last year. It is only you duped denier cultists who fantasize that climate scientists don't take into account all of the other factors that influence the Earth's climate, like the recent solar minimum and the strong La Ninas that brought colder water to the surface of the Pacific. As the sun moves towards a new solar maximum and an El Nino inevitably cycles through in the next few years, the still continuing anthropogenic global warming that has been slightly masked since mid-2010 will combine with those factors I just mentioned and cause the world to see some new record world average temperatures.
Warmer only because Hansen has been falsifying the historical temperature record, which a denial cult retard like you should figure out. You're just too dumb to do so.
Oh walleyed, your idiotic, evidence-free conspiracy theories are just further confirmation of your tinfoil-hat wearing proclivities, general derangement and continuing mental breakdown. I suppose you also think "
Hansen" is running around the Arctic with a hair dryer melting all those gigatons of ice just to fool us all. LOLOLOLOL.....you are such a retard...
rt- I understand being loyal to an idea, a piece of your worldview, something that you measured the evidence for and came down on one side to the exclusion of the other side. unfortunately for many people that decision was made 10, 15, 20 years ago when the case for global warming due to CO2 appeared much stronger than today.
but what are the pillars of evidence that convinced you? are they still legitimate today?
warming- yes, but the figures are in some doubt because of all the adjustments made in arbitrary fashion, mostly away from prying eyes. but there has still been some warming. would it matter to you if it was 0.5, 0.75 or 1.0C over the last 100 years?
CO2- yes there is a mechanism that leads to warming when CO2 concentration in the atmosphere increases. 1.0-1.2C per doubling. is that small amount the cause of your dismay?
those two things are agreed upon by most people but they certainly dont lead to catastrophe.
things meant to scare us-
temperatures warmest ever via the Hockey Stick graph. the methodology and conclusions are bogus. anyone who has actually looked at the criticisms wouldnt touch it with a ten foot pole.
glacier and ice cap melt, they have been melting for a long time, since the LIA. when it is warm they melt and when it is cold they reform. havent you read the old newspaper articles lamenting the loss of glaciers....from the 1920's and before?
sea level rise, it has been pretty constant since we started measuring it, and its still pretty constant. unfortunately predictions of doom make the media headlines and reasonable accounts of business as usual dont. the same seems to go for science journals, which print exaggerated conclusions from very weak evidence.
habitat change, flora and fauna extinctions, weather weirding, etc. conditions have always changed, thats why we have the theory of evolution. weather is always bad for some, somewhere on the planet but it is only in this age of instant news that we know about it. hurricanes and cyclones are down but you wouldnt know it by listening to clowns like Al Gore.
the scary part of this whole thing to me is the tremendous hit to the respectability of science that CAGW has caused. climate science has burned off the banked authority of scientific endeavour by twisting and distorting cherry picked data and then using science societies and their figureheads to politicize the arguments.
I can understand how you came to believe in CAGW. what I cant understand is how you hold on to the fervent belief now that it is crumbling down on your head.
