52 Explanations For Pause in Global Warming

i agree, it was probably made up by some rt. wingnut.

Now didn't the Global Warming crowd say that warming was a settled science. So how come they have 52 reasons for it not getting warmer. Does not sound very settled to me either as a scientific fact OR as a theory. Perhaps those believers can explain it away as it seems to be the religion of the left that warming must be a fact and  reason to start riding horses and buggies.

the global climate is changing.. that's fact.. the argument is over 'man made change', for most people.

and there you have it. the exemplar 'low-information voter' says there's no climate change.. perhaps someone should call NASA.. they keep putting out studies that show how the earth's climate is changing.

as i said, most INTELLIGENT people understand the climate is changing. the argument is over whether man is responsible.

Yes the climate is changing. In the northern hemisphere it's called Autumn, in the southern hemisphere it's Spring.

again, one of you better inform NASA! we're wasting our tax dollars on 'teams of scientists' when all we need is a few rt. wingnuts.

You better inform the people who crunch the temperature numbers from NASA!

inform them of what? you can't read your own graph?

you can't see the steady change in your own 'reference'?

even the page you reference concedes the global climate is changing.... again, the argument is 'man-made or not'.

Have you no cognitive skills, there has been no real rise in temperatures outside of natural variation for more than a few years.

you can't read your own 'references'.. even they support global climate change... and yet, i'm the one that has no 'cognitive skills'.. gotcha.

The theme of this thread is that global warming has stopped for more than a few years not that the Earth has not warmed since the Little Ice age. Get with the program. Note that Dr, Spencer has observed this.

2) Why Do Some Scientists Say It’s Cooling, while Others Say the Warming is Even Accelerating? Since there is so much year-to-year (and even decade-to-decade) variability in global average temperatures, whether it has warmed or cooled depends upon how far back you look in time. For instance, over the last 100 years, there was an overall warming which was stronger toward the end of the 20th Century. This is why some say “warming is accelerating”. But if we look at a shorter, more recent period of time, say since the record warm year of 1998, one could say that it has cooled in the last 10-12 years. But, as I mentioned above, neither of these can tell us anything about whether warming is happening “now”, or will happen in the future.

well, i'd say 'study to study', depending on who's paying for it, would explain a LOT of difference in 'opinion'. i'd say , depending on the location, that could explain differing 'scientific opinions'.  if i look at 'this week' it looks like we're in for another ice age... as i said, THREE TIMES BEFORE, the global climate is changing... the debate is over whether it's 'man-made' or not.  IF 'climate scientists' show the deep ocean currents have absorbed a large amount of the 'earth's warming', then we will still have the debate of 'man-made' or not.  now, feel free to insult my intelligence, again... it seems to be your 'go to' strategy.

I think there is supposed to be a warmer and wetter winter for us due to El Niño. Given the accuracy of "experts" lately, I may have to ready the anti-polar bear devices. As to climate change, since we live on the cooler end of the Holocene with an observed cooling trend for the last 6-8000 years, you might get your ice age within a century or ten.

What caused climate change before we, man walked the earth?

well, one theory is 'meteors'... one theory is bacteria.. one theory , however comical, is dino flatulence. any number of things, or combination of things.

So, the climate was changing before the industrial revolution? And before internal combustion engines?  I think there is a snake in the climate change woodpile.

The Earth's climate has always been changing and I doubt it will hold still for long.

(Reuters) - Swathes of the Amazon may have been grassland until a natural shift to a wetter climate about 2,000 years ago let the rainforests form, according to a study that challenges common belief that the world’s biggest tropical forest is far older.

The arrival of European diseases after Columbus crossed the Atlantic in 1492 may also have hastened the growth of forests by killing indigenous people farming the region, the scientists wrote in the U.S. journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

"The dominant ecosystem was more like a savannah than the rainforest we see today," John Carson, lead author at the University of Reading in England, said of the findings about the southern Amazon.

The scientists said that a shift toward wetter conditions, perhaps caused by natural shifts in the Earth’s orbit around the sun, led to growth of more trees starting about 2,000 years ago.

The scientists studied man-made earthworks, uncovered by recent logging in Bolivia, that included ditches up to about a kilometer (1,100 yards) long and up to 3 meters deep and 4 meters wide.

They found large amounts of grass pollen in ancient sediments of nearby lakes, suggesting the region had been covered by savannah. They also found evidence of plantings of maize, pointing to farming.

it would be interesting to see a list of yearnings counter to caution on the part of 'climate change influenced by mankind nay-sayers'.
