Global Cooling???

Global temperatures are heading for a record in 2013
The Sydney Morning Herald
November 14, 2013
(excerpts)
Global temperatures are almost half a degree Celsius above the long-term average so far in 2013, putting this year on course to be among the 10 hottest since records began, the world's leading meteorological agency says. In a provisional statement on the global climate in 2013, the World Meteorological Organisation says the first nine months of this year tied with 2003 as the seventh hottest such period on record. In Australia, temperatures are on track for the hottest year on record. Australia's temperatures from January to October were 1.32C degrees above average, which annually is 21.8C degrees. The same period was 0.24C degrees above the next highest record - which occurred in 2005 - for January to October temperatures.

The meteorological organisation's secretary-general, Michel Jarraud, said all the warmest years across the planet had occurred since 1998, and 2013 once again continued the underlying long-term trend of warming. ''The coldest years now are warmer than the hottest years before 1998'', he said. In other areas the extent of Arctic sea ice recovered slightly from record rates of melting last year, but 2013 was still one of the lowest years on record. Tropical cyclones numbers for 2013 are nearing the 1981-2010 average of 89 storms, with 86 so far this year.

Antarctica is the temperature of Mars ... like, what's up with that?

Antarctica is the temperature of Mars ... like, what's up with that?

You're such a clueless retard, pukeybuttshine. Antarctica is a entire continent. Temperatures vary widely across the continent. You act like it's a big surprise or somehow unusual that it is cold there. The news reported this:
"A high ridge in the East Antarctic Plateau contains pockets of trapped air that dipped as low as minus 136 Fahrenheit on Aug. 10, 2013. “We had a suspicion this Antarctic ridge was likely to be extremely cold, and colder than Vostok because it’s higher up the hill,” said Ted Scambos, lead scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colorado. The super-cold temperatures are due to air being caught and held for a while. If the skies are clear for a few days, the ground radiates remaining heat into space, creating a layer of super-chilled air above the snow. “By causing the air to be stationary for extended periods, while continuing to radiate more heat away into space, you get the absolute lowest temperatures we’re able to find,” Scambos said." (source - The Globe and Mail)

The context is this:
"The climate of Antarctica is the coldest on the whole of Earth. Antarctica has the lowest naturally occurring temperature ever recorded on the ground on Earth: −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F) at Vostok Station. Satellites have recorded even lower temperatures, down to -94.7 °C (-135.8 °F) in August 2010. East Antarctica is colder than West Antarctica because of its higher elevation." (source - Wikipedia)

Holy shit! Dan Quayle is a member here.

None of your post explains why it is colder there now than in the past.

 

[Old Rocks]

Given the fact that the temperatures in Antarctica have not been recorded much at all in the past, there is zero evidence that it is colder now than in the past. We simply have the ability now to measure temperatuers in places that we did not before.

The highest temperature ever recorded in Antarctica was 14.6°C (58.3°F) in two places, Hope Bay and Vanda Station, on 5 January 1974. That is, like, 40 years ago.

Yeah, so what? There were only two or possibly three temperature stations on the whole continent of Antarctica in 1974, and not too many more than that today, so the temperature record is very incomplete. It could easily have been warmer in other locations since then without being recorded, just like it could have been colder in the past in some of the higher elevations than this recent supposed record low.

Sure thing Matthew.. AGW is responsible for every ill that plagues man. So sayeth the high priests, so sayeth the scriptures! REPENT! And, for the record HADCRUT shows the planet COOLING since 2002. So how is warming doing anything? Anything at all?

Don't waste your time. It's all just more correlation equals causation bullshit. It's all the cultists have and they flog it for all they're worth!

 

[Abraham3]

Correlation is a hell of a lot more likely to be causation than non-correlation.

Hansen did say that the 2000-2013 are kind of like 1960-1980 as aerosols are reflecting the energy back into space.

On the other hand others believe that it is a PDO long term cycle of moving more energy into oceans. I think it is a combo of both...With the Chinese/Indian aerosols being the main reason.

Every respectable dataset humanity has ever made proves you're dead wrong. The reality that aerosols have reflected some of the energy back into space like the 1960 through the 70s shows us why we're not warming.

Throwing out physics isn't wise.

Do you realize that 'every respectable data set that humanity has ever made' is a hyperbolic contradiction?

If you had a degree in physics, that might mean something. Probably that you cheated, but it would mean something.
