Have you noticed winter in the northern hemisphere - it's cold and people are dying of it?

Brrr, it is snowing here. Got to go feed the birds, so they don't all die.

Wonder if as many humans will die as died in France from heat a few years back, well after global warming stopped in 1998.


Will it take you that long to forgive heretics and Global Warming Denialists from your cryogenic chamber under a kilometre of ice?


No, I go strictly on data and physics. As soon as the data looks convincing, I change. The data and physics is currently in favor of AGW as I keep pointing out. I'm always waiting for one of you denialists to make a sensible counterargument based on both data and physics.

Wishing for Global Warming doesn't make it so.

I'm not wishing, although I prefer the tropics. My crops don't want higher summer temps, that would be very bad for me.

You keep mentioning how science works, but the first principle of science is that observation should match theory and when theory doesn't match reality, it's the theory which needs repair, not the reality.

As I keep pointing out data and theory do agree. You are the one who does not understand the frequency content of the data. I don't have any problem with that, having had three whole classes in Fourier Analysis.


After 100 years of theoretical global warming due to combustion in the fossil fuel era, it's no warmer on Gaia.


Actually it is up. The last decade is the warmest decade of the last century, even including 2008. Pays to get your data correct.

Another century doesn't seem likely to necessitate a panic either.

According to theory, the effects of this next century are much different than the effects of the last century. You seem to think the incremental effect of the two centuries is predicted to be equal? Again, one needs to pay attention. Another 0.7 deg would indeed not be a terribly big deal, although I wouldn't want to be living in the coastal regions of Florida even for that much.
