Did you forget what planet you are on, gregor1? Are you now denying warming? Even for a conservative that's retarded.

No. There is no denying the arctic has been warming, in fact , it's warming at pretty much the same rate that it warmed between 1910 and 1930. This says little about the rest of the globe unless of course you have a link form me that provides evidence. Methinks though the title of this piece is yet more hyperbole. Are you perhaps, a hyperbole denier?

Your full of *Sheet* man.

Welcome Howie. Here's a link for you http://curryja.fi...rrak.pdf

Oh your welcome gregor1; Try this one for size; http://www.newcle...ting.jpg

So was 1910-1930 like that?

We don't know but we do know that it's warming now at much the same rate as the early twentieth century when co2 was not an issue. My real problem with this piece is that we already know the Arctic is warming so this work merely reinforces that . To extrapolate to the entire globe is hyperbole in my opinion. You are not an hyperbole denier too are you?

August 1920 Arctic sea ice cover

From a news story today: "A report showed that 60.1 percent of the lower 48 states were in some form of drought as of Tuesday". This is not your normal weather event. I think every American should be concerned about this, and it's factual cause.

We don't know but we do know that it's warming now at much the same rate as the early twentieth century when co2 was not an issue

Not true Gregor1. Just look at Glacier International Park from the 1910-1930 photos and compare them to 1990-2010 photos. You can do the same for every single glacier in the WORLD and they will show melting!

It's sad and pathetic that intelligent people like you don't get it.

Like Howie's lovely link this says nothing about the trend which remains the same despite accelerating co2 levels. This is a straw man to divert attention from my question. How does warming in one region provide evidence that the entire globe is warming? We already know the Arctic is warming

How does warming in one region provide evidence that the entire globe is warming?

Humm... well if I wasn't connected to the rest of the world by the Internet, satellite, radio and tens of thousands of sensors you might think it was tough. It's not that difficult to see global warming even locally.

Just look up in the sky. Do you see more high atmosphere clouds than you use to? The high cirrus clouds. That is global warming.

How does warming in one region provide evidence that the entire globe is warming...


gregor has a point....

Just because the southern hemisphere is warming, and the northern hemisphere is warming...doesn't mean the whole planet is warming.

How does warming in one region provide evidence that the entire globe is warming? We already know the Arctic is warming
It's call diffusion and convection, Forest
gregor has a point....
Yes, that US public schools are little more than holding pens

The Antarctic is melting too, but that is another issue isn't it? In global warming, the polar regions are getting it worst than us in the lower latitudes.

How does warming in one region provide evidence that the entire globe is warming?


Global warming is pretty evident just by looking at the sky. Very high Cirrus clouds are now a daily event over almost all of the US. That is water vapor lofted to the upper atmosphere from global warming. That wasn't there 10 years ago.

I've no doubt Howie, that you see Global Warming every where. No doubt you see it in the tea leaves as well.
Local changes in climate are no more indicative of GW than the record cold in India at the moment are signs are a sign of global cooling.

Local changes in climate are no more indicative of GW than the record cold in India at the moment are signs are a sign of global cooling.
Your schoolteacher never taught you the difference between weather and climate. Hint: Rain is weather. Desert is climate

Unless you live in the tropics, local adaptations to global warming are very evident. Just look at your garden, how long it blooms, how long have your plants remained green? How many birds are out foraging, how many clouds do you see? Those are all observations you can make to gauge how your environment is doing.
Sure, it could all be a statistical fluke, but around the world?

Its human like you gregor1 that don't see GW effects when they are right there in front of them. Seriously, just look up in the sky and see if you don't spot a cirrus cloud.

This of course is the same curry that published the ground breaking research that the sun is a solid ball of iron.

Mid-latitude lakes are now melting 3 to 7 weeks ahead of the 120 year long term averages.

In fact, albedo changes due to decreased snow fall and increased melting in the mid-latitudes is what is currently driving the rapid loss of sea ice. The albedo changes in the poles has not become large enough over a long enough time to cause a significant impact, due to the shortness of the seasons of sunlight exposure there as well as the high incidence angle from the normal, but this feedback will become significant in a few more decades as annual melting day anomaly is growing at the ridiculous pace of plus 12 to 16 per decade, which means that in 20 or 30 years there will be an extra month of melt season N. of 60N and S of 60S.



lurker. the earth is 4.5 billion years old and the climate has always changed dramatically. 120 years is a mere nano second. What we need is evidence that the current changes are outside the natural variation. We are still an estimated 1.5 degrees cooler than the medieval , Roman and Minoan warm periods. There is no need to panic.

The matter in your ass is three times older.

But that doesn't alter the fact that you suffer from chronic mental constipation.

"the earth is 4.5 billion years old" - Gregor1

Reasonable people comprehend relative scale. Fools do not.

9 billion people didn't live on Earth 4.5 billion years ago.

Yes VD Kaufman's work does show a hockey stick. The important thing though the upswing starts around 1900 - well before the co2 was high enough to effect warming. If you look at the next graph you'll see that the warming trend in the early 20th cent is the same as the late 20th centhttp://curryja.fi...rrak.pdf
The latest work of interest is the Kobashi et al 2011 reconstruction from Greenland ice cores which goes back 4,000 years and shows that the present warming is not outside that from natural variation. In fact Greenland has been warmer than today thirteen times over that period http://wattsupwit...0-years/

My scientific training tells me that any increased level of CO2 causes an enhanced level of warming.

Gregor's scientific illiteracy tells him that CO2 molecules are little Alarm clocks that only cause warming after 1900.

"If you look at the next graph " - GregorTard

When I look at the next graph, I dont' see any warming between 1900 and 1920 contrary to your earlier claim.

Why is that Gregor?

Co2 will always cause warmig. The question is whether it is significant or not.

That's the way things are I'm sorry. The climate has always changed and often quite dramatically. The question we have to ask is how much is human caused and how much just natural variation? To answer these questions we have to be brutally honest. A local anomaly should not be thought of as a global anomaly.

Limited intelligence and a bad case of narcissistic personality disorder? Who knows? See you doctor.

Hi gregor1. Butterfly Effect. Ocean/Air currents can change by Man's activities 'suddenly' (over centuries not usual millennia). Precisely because ocean/air currents do affect Arctic (and the globe), the CO2 warming affecting ocean salinity/density variations/gradients can cause drastic changes to same, because CO2/Warming associated evaporation rates etc etc can change the overall pattern, not just locally. So just saying that "it's the currents" does nothing to identify what CAUSED those changes so abruptly. Ie, in this instance, man-caused CO2/Warming effects. Remember too that CO2 was increasing long before coal-burning era. Widespread deforestation (the fuel before coal/oil era) caused buildup of CO2 because natural re-uptake from trees severely reduced. If not for uptake by oceans then/since, the warming would have been evident even sooner. There is a limit to compensatory mechanisms.

Science indicates Man-caused CO2/Warming is "mother" of all "Butterfly Effects" now.

Cheers!

lengould100 I was referring to the Minoan, Roman, and Medieval warm periods which suggest the current warming is nothing unusual. Here's the latest of literally hundreds of papers http://[url=http://hockeyschtick.blogspot.com.a

Religionists only care about preserving the life of cell clusters and zygotes. Once they pop out of the womb, religionists want them converted or killed. Whatever is more expedient. The Earth is just a battleground for them. They couldn't care if the oceans boil or the nukes explode. In fact that gets the job done faster. It's all part of putting sinners in hell and putting on a good show for their creator so they'll be sucked into eternity.

Really?

You don't even know what you're talking about.

1, Nobody wants "sinners" to go to hell.
2, Anybody trying to "put on a a show" for the creator would actually be in violation of fundamental Christian doctrine and theology.
3, The rest of your post is just crap which is clearly wrong and ridiculous.

4, Putting all "Religions" in the same basket on just about any issue just shows how ignorant (or else deceitful,) you really are.

lengould you think Quaternary Research. Climate of the Past, Quaternary International , NOAA/NGDC Paleoclimatology Program, etc etc are not reputable organizations? Nearly all my links are peer reviewed, published research. Mann's integrity was clearly brought under question by the hacked emails. His hockey stick paper was brought down by amateurs which indicates either that his grasp of the science was less robust that the amateurs or he was deliberately attempting to deceive us. Don't believe me. Read them for yourself

http://foia2011.org/

Ah, the argument from authority..... again. Have you read his emails? Nice of him to "Hide the decline" wasn't it? Nice of him to obliterate the Medieval and Roman warm periods too. Sorry to insult your high priest but there of a thousand papers confirming the MWP and it's not that easy to get rid of. We'll see what happens in his latest court case. Meanwhile, there's been a huge amount of work done since this fiasco and it is really very interesting what they're discovering. The hockey stick is water under the bridge. The MWP has since been confirmed in Antarctica, the Arctic, Australia, New Zealand, South America, the and the Arctic. The lack of it in the hockey stick is a little bit sus don't you think? Lets move on to more recent work and it's findings. like, for instance. this paper http://hockeyscht...-in.html

2, Anybody trying to "put on a a show" for the creator would actually be in violation of fundamental Christian doctrine and theology.
That would include every Abrahamic religion.
3, The rest of your post is just crap which is clearly wrong and ridiculous.
I always find that amusing, coming from outspoken proponents of irrationality.
To date not a single supernatural event in the history of the universe has been verified. Eat that.

lLengould From your Wikipedia link
"Hans von Storch review
In May 2007, Hans von Storch reviewed the changes in thought caused by the hockey stick controversy writing:
In October 2004 we were lucky to publish in Science our critique of the 'hockey-stick' reconstruction of the temperature of the last 1000 years. Now, two and half years later, it may be worth reviewing what has happened since then.
At the EGU General Assembly a few weeks ago there were no less than three papers from groups in Copenhagen and Bern assessing critically the merits of methods used to reconstruct historical climate variable from proxies; Bürger's papers in 2005; Moberg's paper in Nature in 2005; various papers on borehole temperature; The National Academy of Science Report from 2006 – all of which have helped to clarify that the hockey-stick methodologies lead indeed to questionable historical reconstructions."

Here's one of the latest versions plus links to the relevant emails. Notice - no hockey stick
http://wattsupwit...er-data/

This seems to be the new version http://wattsupwit...er-data/

Scientists say new signs of global warming in Russian Arctic
Well, don't look now, but it's already shaping up to be an interesting season:

"During October 2012, the Northern Hemisphere snow cover extent was 1.9 million square km (734,000 square miles) above the long-term average of 17.96 million square km (6.9 million square miles). This monthly value ranks as the eighth largest October snow cover extent in the 45-year period of record.

Eurasian snow cover extent was also above average for October 2012, ...This was the 11th largest October snow cover extent on record for the continent. Above-average snow cover was observed for much of Russia and the Tibetan Plateau,"
-NOAA

I hope those gulls and ducks have parkas!

Uba - care to speculate why? Or would you defer to recognized experts (who will give reasons you won't like).
"Global" climate means "global". Not just the snow covered regions of the Northern Hemisphere. You've heard this before but I guess it bears repeating.

/you like calling people names when they present evidence?

Why would I wish to change the wiki page? Did you read to the end? The hockey stick as long since been superseded by new and more accurate work some of which I've posted in this thread. The latest work is much more interesting and much less alarming.

Uba - care to speculate why? Or would you defer to recognized experts (who will give reasons you won't like).
You seem to be implying it's because of AGW. How would you feel if it was less snow than usual? Would it be global warming then, too? How about if it did the statistically improbable, and snowed exactly average? What then? Would this mean global warming just doesn't yet appear to have an effect?

This is what's wrong with claims of global warming. We could be headed straight into an ice age and AGW proponents would blame it on AGW.

"Global" climate means "global". Not just the snow covered regions of the Northern Hemisphere. You've heard this before but I guess it bears repeating.
Certainly. It's about the global temperatures:

No global warming in at least 12 years.
