Global warming shouldn't be happening

proof that the marcott paper is a total fraud

"....In recent years there have been a number of cases in which high-profile papers from climate scientists turned out, on close inspection, to rely on unseemly tricks, fudges and/or misleading analyses. After they get uncovered in the blogosphere, the academic community rushes to circle the wagons and denounce any criticism as “denialism.” There’s denialism going on all right — on the part of scientists who don’t see that their continuing defence of these kinds of practices exacts a toll on the public credibility of their field."

THe world IS getting warmer... the extreme cold spells is because there IS still an ice shelf at the poles, once this ice goes, then everything will warm up together nicely, except by then, things will get very, very extremely wet ....

Your article is by Ross McKittrick, an individual who has successfully demonstrated that he doesn't know how to read a COFECHA output and deleted a major part of one he used to "prove" that the Quebec chronology was wrong. You'd only catch this if you knew how to read one of those outputs. I read them every day. McKittrick is the fraud here. If you want to tell who's telling the truth and who isn't, you're going to have to learn to do things like read a COFECHA output, or process a climate signal; otherwise, you expose your ignorance for all to see.

Interesting target audience McKittrick chose - Financial Post.

Its April 4th in North Dakota.

I have 2 feet of snow in my yard, and havent seen 40F since November.

We are expecting 1-4 more inches of snow this weekend.

Want to know my thoughts on global warming?????

BRING IT ON ALREADY!!!!!

i GET IT NOW!!!!!

No matter what the weather; Its global warming!

Hard to be wrong when you play both sides of the fence i guess.

You obviously don't - Global warming is an increase in the average global temperature and not your local weather.

spend some time in the tropics or on the equatorial belt ... you'll see what we mean by 'warmer'

38^oC in the shade ...

it is not both side of any fence ... and nobody is wrong ... the time will come when we are all wrong, then none of anything will matter, least of all 'who was right'

let's not forget that there is that 'little' hole in the ozone, it will all add up, the lab coats on payrolls won't give you any real picture, just what matters to their pay masters.

I think you're beginning to get the idea. Weather is what is happening right now, or at least is close enough we can see it coming. Climate is what might happen next week, or next year, or next century. Weather deals in specifics; climate deals in averages and probabilities.

What happens in my little corner of the world is only a tiny part of a global picture. The cold winter in North Dakota is cancelled out by the heat wave in Australia. The monsoon rains in Calcutta are offset by the drought in Capetown. Global climate is what is left over after all the cancelling is done - that little bit of temperature change that is left over.

The 20th century increase in temps seems dramatic, especially to Little Fish who can't seem to believe it's happening. But there have been climate shifts to make this one look small. At the end of the Younger Dryas, snowfall levels in Greenland went from full glacial to post-glacial in four years. The temperature lagged behind, but made the entire shift in 40 years.

Concentrating on incremental temperature changes misses the point. If we cross a threshhold, we could suddenly see major shifts in very short time intervals. The melt-off of the Arctic Ocean has been the major threshhold of concern, but as that has been on-going since the 1950s, many people have missed the increase in violent weather until just the last five years.

But there are other threshholds: drought produced the sudden loss of pinyons over a four-state area in just four years. I've been concerned about the deforestation of western North America, but I just learned that this is world-wide in scope. Most of the world's trees (70%) are in permanent moisture stress, living very close to their drought tolerance limits. Significant climate shifts have already occurred in the dry forest types and we are poised for more. When change happens, it is expected to be sudden, intense and patchy with one area being devastated with the one next to it escaping, at least this time.

When you start looking at current rates of change, it is scary. They tell us not to be gloom-and-doom sayers, but I am sitting here expecting to see the death of the entire forest where I spent my first twelve years as a forester - 200,000 acres is alreeady dead and another 50,000 is expected to die soon. Gloom-and-doom is starting to look like the good side of the coin.

I'll get off my soapbox now. But I'll be back.
