Resisting Climate Hysteria

A glimpse of global cooling with parts of Europe experiencing record cold weather temperatures.
 
Really Wysiwyg ? You actually believe that the cold snap in Europe is part of global cooling?
Somehow you have managed to miss the the relentless increase in temperatures worldwide that has accelerated in the past 3 years ?

Same thing in Canada and North America with record cold temperatures and large snow falls.

I refer you to my posts #8914 and 8919.

You are being brainwashed by the UN Climate Change committee who distorting the truth about Global Warming..

Just sayin'. :cool:
 
The long-debated hiatus or pause in global warming, championed by climate denialists who tried to claim it proved scientists' projections on climate change are inaccurate or overblown, probably did not happen at all.

A new study by researchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration finds that the world's warming never really stalled during the last 15 years—it was just masked by incomplete data records that have been improved and expanded in recent years.

"The rate of temperature increase during the last half of the 20th century is virtually identical to that of the 21st century," said Tom Karl, director of NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information and lead author of the study.

The research, published in the peer-reviewed journal Science this week, is just the latest in a growing number of studies refuting the idea of a slowdown or stop in global warming.

"Tom Karl and colleagues have done solid work here, but they've mostly just confirmed what we already knew," said Michael Mann, a climate scientist and director of the Earth System Science Center at Pennsylvania State University. "There is no true 'pause' or 'hiatus' in warming."

Tisme, I tried to pick up in something in your link referring to "The hottest year of record for the world.
The link is mainly about Australia being the 4th hottest year on record in 2016.

We also had some record rainfalls broken which you failed to mention placing much of your emphasis on record temperatures....Was there any reason for that?

The record rain falls were as a result of the Dipole system in the Indian Ocean which has brought a lot of rain to the West, Central West, Western Queensland , South Australia and Victoria.
 

This the link I posted a couple of days ago which differs from your link.

It is hard to fathom why there can be so much variation from one report to another.

They both cannot be right.

NOAA is funded by commerce in the United States under Obama......I am not saying it is but it could also be a remote chance that NOAA could have been influenced by the UN through Obama....Whether that will change under Trump remains to be seen when Trump has threatened to pull out of the UN.

There has been some queer happenings in the USA in recent times...One thing that is mentioned is NOAA has tampered with reports exaggerating Global Warming.

An interesting juncture

That wasn't the point, rather that this massive acceleration as claimed a few months ago seems to be el nino induced and return to trend (whatever trend floats your boat). Just as the level heads expected.

The last big El Nino was about 10 years ago wasn't it? I seem to recall it became a prominent name back in the early 80's when it bit really hard? So long as the air pressure over Darwin harbour is slightly greater than Tahiti this time of the year we should be sweet until the early 2020s.

It's interesting how close the spikes relate. I agree, there is no obvious acceleration.

The warming is linear which makes sense. The new greenhouse gases only form a small proportion of the existing greenhouse gases the warming effect should be subdued. If we do see acceleration then we should all be very worried but I think that is unlikely.

Still a 1 degree rise ever twenty years isn't something to relax about.
 
Many rest on the idea "that it has all occurred before". It hasn't.


"One of the most commonly used arguments against human-caused climate change is that Earth has experienced severe fluctuations in temperature over its 4.5-billion-year lifespan, so it doesn’t make sense to start freaking out about it now.

But while Boston was once covered in almost a mile (1.6 km) of ice, and the Arctic Circle was once so warm, palm trees and crocodiles populated it instead of ice and polar bears, what’s been going on over the past century is unprecedented.

Not convinced? Just check out the infographic below by Randall Munroe of XKCDfame.

Illustrating the rise in global temperatures from 20000 BCE right up to 2016, nothing makes it more clear just how insane things have gotten during the fraction of Earth's timeline that humans have been dominating.

As you can see below, in 20000 BCE, Earth was at the peak of the last ice age, and was 4.3 degrees Celsius colder than it was in the late 20th century.

That might not sound like much, but it made a huge difference - glaciers reached as far south as New York City, and our early human ancestors had to fight for survival.

But slight changes in Earth's orbit at around 18500 BCE meant some of that polar ice could finally be reached by more sunlight, and the warming period began.

Ice sheets start melting in earnest across the North and South Poles, and humans start to spread out and proliferate in the more favourable conditions.

Between 9000 and 8500 BCE - just before we domesticated cows for the first time - temperatures hit modern levels, and continue to rise.

For thousands of years afterwards, things start wavering around that middle line, and we see a big cool-down around the 15th and 16th centuries.

The 20th century happens, and then... BAM. Things get real.

Something else to keep in mind is that, regardless of what's happened before, we humans are incredibly sensitive creatures.

We struggled to survive when global temperatures were 4.3 degrees colder than the late 20th century average, and we'll struggle just the same if we let Earth warm by just 1 or 2 degrees in the coming decades - something that 2015 Paris Climate Conference attempted to draw everyone's attention to.

As Brad Plumer points out over at Vox:

"What’s most relevant to us humans, living in the present day, is that the climate has been remarkably stable for the past 12,000 years. That period encompasses all of human civilisation - from the pyramids to the Industrial Revolution to Facebook and beyond.

We’ve benefited greatly from that stability. It’s allowed us to build farms and coastal cities and thrive without worrying about overly wild fluctuations in the climate."

If you wonder where today’s temperature fits in with the grand scheme of time on Earth since the dinosaurs were wiped out, here’s the history. We start with the whole 65 million years, then zoom in, and zoom in again to the last 12,000 from both ends of the world. What’s obvious is that in terms of homo sapiens history, things are warm now (because we’re not in an ice age). But, in terms of homo sapiens civilization, things are cooler than usual, and appear to be cooling.

Then again, since T-rex & Co. vanished, it’s been one long slide down the thermometer, and our current “record heatwave” is far cooler than normal. The dinosaurs would have scoffed at us: “What? You think this is warm?”

One meteor and ALL your theories are in the S Bend with the fluffy white paper ...
The mystery of why the dinosaurs became extinct after the Cretaceous meteor strike, while birds and mammals flourished, may finally have been solved.

Paleontologists have discovered that dinosaur young took so long to hatch and grow into adulthood that populations failed to recover quickly enough after the devastating impact 65 million years ago.
