In mathematics, chaos theory describes the behavior of certain dynamical systems that is, systems whose states evolve with time that may exhibit dynamics that are highly sensitive to initial conditions (popularly referred to as the butterfly effect). As a result of this sensitivity, which manifests itself as an exponential growth of perturbations in the initial conditions, the behavior of chaotic systems appears to be random. This happens even though these systems are deterministic, meaning that their future dynamics are fully defined by their initial conditions, with no random elements involved. This behavior is known as deterministic chaos, or simply chaos.
Chaotic behaviour is also observed in natural systems, such as the weather. This may be explained by a chaos-theoretical analysis of a mathematical model of such a system, embodying the laws of physics that are relevant for the natural system.
"Would love to see how the Global Warming idiots explain this one..."
They can't; that's why the term-de-jour is 'climate change'.
There real science about global warming is at this link....
Data @ NASA GISS: GISS Surface Temperature Analysis: 2007 Summation
And there is a certified nutjob posting directly above me. Kirk--we aint dying of CO2 poisoning no matter what Al Gore has taught you. Exhaling is not a form of slow suicide.
Better to study the real data at this link....

I think you people should really stay out of this type of discussion. Clearly you dont know anything about climate change, I mean if the original poster of this thread brought that data into a climate change conference he would be laughed at. TEMPURATURE IS NOT CLIMATE CHANGE. FOr the millionth time, tempurature is not even a fraction of all the elements and natural symbiotic cycles that go into studying climate change. Anyone can look at a tempurature reading any day of the week, does not make a difference.....what you have to do is look at the RAW data
Evidence of a Warming Earth - The Woods Hole Research Center
There are cites with real life raw data on this website. Whether anthropogenic global warming (man made) exists or not, there is clear data that tempurature correlates to rising c02 levels on a long term and global scale. Its proven, nobody can have half a brain and say that c02 levels are not parrallel with tempurature patterns over the past 400 thousand years.
Whether man is causing tempuratures to rise, is still to be seen but one thing is a fact......man is 100% causing the c02 levels to rise. That is a fact shown in the data I posted. Now seeing as we are in an interglacial period (period between ice ages) we are at conditions where most of our natural cycles ( water cycle, oxygen cycle, sedimentary cycle) are able to keep the tempuratures relatively normal, at the moment. BUT........looking at the data, our carbon cycle is being overextended, it is not within balanced thresholds therefore the c02 levels have skyrocketed since the industrial revolution. Ofcourse we as humans have not even been around long enough to measure the long term effects this has on tempurature, we can only look at data from the past........now if you look at the correlation between c02 levels and tempurature from ice core studies, clearly it is safe to assume without a doubt that our earth can and possibly will rise in tempurature.
That is the argument, its not about what exists because we already have the data.....its about what might happen based on our data from the passed. Its about whether or not we should be worried about skyrocketing c02 levels even if they have not effected tempurature in a meaningful way thusfar.
Do you people get it now? Or should I explain further.
It's sad when cousins marry and produce offspring like you who are so easily duped into the religion of mad-made climate change:
