Hi koan; Re: "Come on AGW is partly responsible-lol? That is such a weasel word and does not make sense statistically.";

You don't know enough about climate to justify your opinions. Here, look at the chart published yesterday in Nature. Remember those years when temperatures were rising so rapidly that CAGW was scaring the pants off of politicians? Those happened to be the years the PDO was on an up swing. And now that the PDO has reversed to a down swing temperatures stalled out.

The implication is that about half the temperature rise of the 1980s and 1990s was caused by the PDO and about half was caused by CO2. That's where "partly responsible" comes from.

Here, look at the chart for yourself:


You're not in position to deny the above graph. You're not a climate scientist. The above was published in the very prestigious peer-reviewed journal Nature. And it's not old news, it was published yesterday:

Climate Change: The Case of the Missing Heat
Jeff Tollefson, Nature, Volume 505, Issue 7483, January 15, 2014
nature.com

-- Carl

P.S. Of course this is old news to the skeptic crowd. For 20 years they've been telling you that the PDO was the cause of the a major part of the fast temperature rise of the 1980s and 1990s. But no, you ignored those arguments.

The reason you ignored those arguments is because the CAGW crap fufilled your leftist politcal beliefs.

Now take another look at the above chart. You can see that according to the cycle we're on, the pause is likely to last another 30 years. And by 30 years from now we'll probably be running out of fossil fuels and the whole problem of "stop the CO2 emissions" becomes moot.
