Some people post pictures of the chucacabra, others, angels. I don't care about the cherry picked graphs people post, it won't change a bloody thing. The weather is warming overall. And why, that is the question here. Mankind never used to be a factor in the history of climate changes through history. Solar or volcanism. OK. Humans causing co2 pollution, that is the wild card here.
No, the globe is not warming. It hasn't been for the last 18 years now. CO2 has been much higher in the past and global temperatures were lower than today. The same is true for higher temps and lower CO2 levels. Thus in the cold light of day the facts show us that in the trace elements in our atmosphere CO2 is not a player.
Why do you think the global warmers have tried so hard to hide any factual data? One other point....show me any program that the global warmers are pushing that actually reduces pollution. Not one of their programs actually reduces it. You merely have to pay more to do it. If you really think that they knew that what they were telling us was factual, do you really think they wouldn't be fighting tooth and nail to actually reduce pollution?
Think about it.
Actually, it has. Even if there has been a "hiatus", it is still above normal, and it wouldn't stay above normal if it wasn't warming abnormally. And we've had these moderate cyclic changes before, in the 1940s, in the 1970s, and in the past decade. So what? The long-term slope hasn't changed directions. And neither have the concentrations of ghgs in the atmosphere. It is all sloping upwards, facts you people intentionally ignore, and have no answer for other than "it's all a grand conspiracy by the world's scientists to gain grant money ... they are altering the data, there is snow in New England (in winter) - we're entering an ice age" ...blah, blah, blah...
