My point is that it is unbelievable how mass media and education in schools brainwash people about something irrelevant to our daily lives and make them pay taxes to governments, different organizations etc. for a lost cause. CO2 has nothing to do with temperature change. There are different factors that influence the climate change and we as humans cannot control. Yes, I would agree to pay tax for making our planet less polluted, but I can't listen to their gibberish about human caused global warming and how bad it is. Why? Because they have no clue what they are talking about. They are not being honest and just looking for another way to get profits in their pockets. Humans are a gullible species. Enough said.

bristolboy Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 1 hour ago, Thunder26 said: It was mentioned about Russian model that shows no Global Warming. I agree. If you ask any local Russian that lives from Ural Mountains towards East (which is away from the influence of Atlantic Gulf Stream) they would confirm that the weather was getting colder for the last decade. The winter lasts 9 months now. It ends in May with the snow melt and it starts with September when the fresh snow arrives. They get only 3 months of warm weather. They would definetely want some global warming ???? Why Are Siberian Temperatures Plummeting While the Arctic Warms? Climate change is warming the Arctic and melting sea ice, yet Siberia has experienced significantly colder and harsher winters for the past few decades. A study published yesterday in Science Advances shows that interactions between melting regional sea ice and the stratosphere—an atmospheric layer spanning about 10–50 kilometers above Earth’s surface—play a key role in creating these frigid winter conditions. This stratospheric pathway “significantly contributes to the occurrence of the surface cold events over the Eurasian midlatitude, especially in Siberia and East Asia,” Pengfei Zhang, lead scientist on the study, told Eos. https://eos.org/articles/why-are-siberian-temperatures-plummeting-while-the-arctic-warms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krataiboy Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 5 hours ago, bristolboy said: There was no real pause in the global warming trend after 1998. But this is an example of how deniers distort the facts. 1997-98 were the years of a huge El Nino. Which means the ocean released a lot of heat which heated up the atmosphere. So for a while the subsequent years were on average cooler than that peak. And what dishonest denialist sites did was to create graphs that started with 1998 so that it looked like a decline was in effect. They never noted that 1997-98 were El Nino years. But if you take away the 1997-98 el nino years, every year subsequent to that was warmer on average than every year going back to 1880, And there have now been non El Nino years that have been warmer than the 1997-98 El Nino years. https://www.climate.gov/news-features/climate-qa/did-global-warming-stop-1998 Yeah, but. . . My earlier posting of the Corbett Report video on The Pause had a section dealing specifically with more than sixty different excuses to explain away the haitus in the warming trend. El Nino gets an honourable mention (twice) in the shownotes, along with other possible culprits such as solar cycles, trade winds, Chinese coal, and a whole lot of other, weird and wonderful stuff - much of it contradictory or subsequently debunked. Take your pick. Or conclude, as I am inclined to do, that desperation is the mother of invention. https://www.corbettreport.com/the-global-warming-pause-explained/ http://hockeyschtick.blogspot.com/2014/11/updated-list-of-64-excuses-for-18-26.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no pause in the warming trend. There was just the anomaly of the massive El Nino. As I pointed out. Every year subsequent to the El Nino was warmer than every year that preceded it going all the way back to 1880. https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global/201713 Below is from an article published in 2015 14 of the 15 hottest years on record have occurred since 2000, UN says World Metereological Organisation’s analysis narrowly places 2014 as the hottest recorded since 1850, as global warming continues https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/feb/02/14-15-hottest-years-record-2000-un-global-warming Since then every year following 2014 has been hotter. 2016 was an El Nino year.

MaxYakov Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Bangkok's Temps - Past 9 Years (Ref Site - World Weather Online): Bangkok actually seems cooler to me in general since I arrived nine years ago because I've acclimated. I used to be comfortable at 27 1/2 degrees C. Now I operate at 29-30 degrees C (saving me and Thai electric generation a lot of consumed Kw hours). My rooms can get into the 30-31 degrees C before I get uncomfortable, nowadays. FoodLand and the T21 Cinema and other places at 25 degrees C or so is too cool for me to be comfortable in shirt sleeves. Anyway, I digress. I can see (or imagine?) a 1/2 degree C (or so) increasing ramp in those temps over the 9 or 10 years. At the rate it's going, I'll be at room temperature, as they say, before it gets seriously hot (assuming the ramp can be extrapolated into the future). The question I have is how have temps been taken for Bangkok as depicted in the above chart. Were the measuring points insulated or adjusted from increased Bangkok urban sprawl and a host of other dynamics of Bangkok over the past 9 years? I know urban Bangkok is made hotter by motor vehicles and A/C units and, no doubt, other heat sources. Now, where did I put that climate model, anyway? I'm always misplacing it!

Ten years is certainly not a long enough data set to determine a climate trend.... You need at the very minimum..thirty years of data... and even that is really pushing it.. Climate changes........ sometimes fast.. sometimes slow.. sometimes a lot.. sometimes a little. The only think that shocks me is that some people are alarmed and terrified by the thought of Climate Change. It's as if they want it to stay at the climate we had on May 17, 1956 at 3:45 in the afternoon... and for it to stay like that and never change.

Actually, the question of urban hot spots bias was scientifically addressed by climate change denialists for a change and answered, too. It's just that the answer didn't please them. They commissioned Richard Muller, an emininent physicist who also had questions about that to put together a dream team of scientists to get to the bottom of the question. He did and determined that climatologists claim that they had accounted for urban hot spots was true. Other issues raised by denialists were addressed as well and Muller's team determined that climatologists had properly accounted for them as well. And the climate denialists, being the principled folks that they are, have pretty much scrubbed Muller's research results from their records. https://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/30/opinion/the-conversion-of-a-climate-change-skeptic.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
