i am thinking that just verified the statement i made ,despite it being only ten years of pairwise homogenisation (as opposed to real data)used to create the image.
I thought I must be having an 'Abbott' moment for thinking the very same.

That would require extrapolation across the three hemispheres.

Stupid gullible astronauts, believing junk science.

Maybe we should stop all space flights then as its a lot of combustion byproducts released into the atmosphere with every launch.

It may be a consensus, care needed for believers hehe and it's better than your offering anyway.

You couldn't get far enough up Trump's arse in the other thread after he won the Presidency. Especially with regards to their approach to climate change/global warming.
Now his leading climate official is clueless?
Flippety-flop, flippety-flop.

Pruitt said in his press conference, defending Trumps withdrawal from the Paris agreement:
'I indicated that in fact, global warming is occurring, that human activity contributes to it, in some manner'.
You might have more reason to get into a froth if Pruitt had used the word 'significantly' after 'contributes'.

What if the contribution is 0.00001%? Would that be a problem for the planet which requires drastic action? What is the actual percentage?
Well I'm glad you accept AGW is real & now it's an argument over %'s.
Talking if which, welcome to the 97% club smile

You're actually in a much smaller club but you're still welcome to it,

Cook considered published papers and used a definition that mankind had caused most post-1950 warming. On this definition the true consensus among published scientific papers has been demonstrated to be only 0.3% not 97.1% as Cook had claimed. Only 41 out of the 11,944 published climate papers Cook examined explicitly concluded that mankind caused most of the warming since 1950. That’s 0.3%

The Doran survey result came from 10,256 questionnaires with only 3,146 respondents and those responses were then whittled down to 75 out of 77 “expert” ’active climate researchers’ (chosen by the survey people) to give another 97% consensus figure. It’s actually 75 out of 3,146 which is little more than 2%

Small club, no credible data or other evidence, enjoy!

As per the invisibly small non-contribution of tax gas, Trump et al add nothing to the numbers game.

Liberals appealing to Trump as an authority will always get a laugh.

Good to see you're happy to be lumped and Trumped in the two percenter 'consensus'.

hehe

Not so. On a 0.00001% basis it could probably be argued that my dogs blowing off contribute to GW, does this mean therefore that CGW (canine global warming) is real? rofl

Well I'm not the one giving White House press conferences saying that AGW exists.
I guess you'd have to ask Pruitt what data he is basing his assumptions on.
Perhaps his good ole buddies in the oil industry provided it?

Richard Feynman's findings re NASA and space shuttles failing.

https://science.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/missions/51-l...

"Official management, on the other hand, claims to believe the probability of failure is a thousand times less. One reason for this may be an attempt to assure the government of NASA perfection and success in order to ensure the supply of funds. The other may be that they sincerely believed it to be true, demonstrating an almost incredible lack of communication between themselves and their working engineers."

Trump administration joins the consensus.
AGW is a fact, no matter how much waffle you post.
you are talking bks yet again. for a start the global part is wrong. some places have seen rises in temperature, some have seen falls. i have already mentioned the northern hemisphere is responsible for nearly all of the very small temperature increase we have seen so far ,with the arctic responsible for the lions share. so not global at all.
I've no idea why you all make these statements when it's so bloody easy to refute them. There's never a source, never anything to back it up, just the same assertions made over and over again that a simple search shows to be wrong. Do you just expect people to believe you and not check?

Durbalski - Do these labels help?


That graphic illustrates EXACTLY what wc98 said !

To the other one (Zygster or whatever - What happened to Plunky?) - Why are you crowing about Trump / Pruitt accepting AGW? Why have you posted that so many times this weekend?

Trump is a moron, I could not give a toss what he believes - You pro-AGW lot just ignore the important details in every question asked, post your own twaddle and help no-one understand anything.

Why do you bother?

Shame he is not arround these days - if I were to accept anyone's opinion on something without further verification, there is a finite probability that his would be high on the list.

Even CAGW!

You don't think that illustrates that the warming is global?

Bizarre.

Just to be clear, the blue bits are the only areas that have not risen. There isn't much blue. The yellow - red colour band is all where the temperature has risen.

Well, I dip in and out of this thread to see if there is anything new (as with the other thread) and nothing has changed.

Still a refusal of nature to acquisce to political demands, and an obdurate resistance to moderate opinion which at the very least would be evidenced by a more open discussion in MSM.

Becoming ever more of McCarthian witch-hunt as days go by!

But that's not what he [wc98] said - IIRC the poster stated Northern Hemisphere is warming a bit and there are cooler patches.

Which bit are of the OP (wc98's post) are you denying?

Bizarre indeed, but we've been witness to this for over a decade now, so it tends to fall on deaf ears.
