That's not proven your point in any way, shape, or form. Even if he did, you're going to hang your hat on 0.1 or so degree?! Are you serious?And yet if you look at the trend line of all those points you'd notice a fairly decent upwards slope by taking midpoints (eyeballing it, starting from about -.2 in 1979 and going to about +.25 in 2010 - that's about a change of nearly half a degree in 20 years).
As for that arrow, so what? In 1984 there was a point that was at -.6. In 1993 there was one nearly at -.5.
A single point along a graph like this, particularly one with multiple data points per year crunched into a 30 year graph, isn't particularly pursuasive. You have to show that the red line is going to head down, and permanantly down. If that point represents the "low" similar to the lows of 1985 and 1993 then we have a MASSIVE problem.
Why? Then the absolute low of lows has moved from being a -.6 to a 0. That's a HUGE increase in the minimums.
Thank you GreatCloud - you've proven our point. AGW is very, very real.
Your graph shows an overall upward trend. Do you think that proves your point or disputes it?

If there is an increase trend, you have to question where were the sensors placed to take the temperature readings. Sensors located next to the heating vents and etc. are not an ideal place to take a reading.
You know there are cycles, long term and short. What would've been expected given the cycle we are currently in?Continuing to drop here is the latest graph of the current minimum. How long will it last and is GW finally over ?
It's not pseudo science. You just don't like it.Because it's dumb to argue pseudo science
It's really hard to argue with someone about science when they have trouble with their own basic math.I proposed last year that if the increased trend in global temperature about 1 degree every year (or whatever many year), then would you agree that in 10 or 20 or 30 years the global temperature would be increased by 5 or 10 or higher degrees?
What? Hard core evidence is you saying "what if"? Do you know what evidence is? Do you know what homeostasis is? Do you know how statistically significant the current warming is relative to past cycles?Now, that's hard core evidence.
Wow. You know absolutely nothing about the planet. That is embarrassing to make that claim.Otherwise, 1 degree is a sneeze
I don't know. Talk to the laws of physics; they could probably answer that question for you.According to your charts, I want to see 2 or three degrees increase in this summer. That's not hard to ask, is it?
A record, but not the record? So what is the record?Daisy it also could signal the end of that 90's & 00's warming and the begining of a Maunder or a Dalton minimum. It is after all a record cold for La Ninas.
She (the weatherman quoted above) said that this la Nina isn't expected to last past this summer.Heather Buchman said:La Niñas, which occur when sea surface temperatures across the equatorial central and eastern Pacific Ocean are below normal, play a significant role in the overall weather pattern across the globe. The current La Niña has been influential in 2010's extreme events....
So why are these extreme events non-typical for a La Niña occurring? The answer is complex and complicated. But in general, all La Niñas are different. While general trends have been observed throughout recorded history, no two La Niñas are identical.
Variations in strength of La Niñas also lend different results. In general, the stronger the La Niña (or the bigger the departure from normal in sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern Pacific), the more extreme weather events we'd expect to have. The difficult part is determining where these extreme events will occur and whether such events will occur with regularity.
Infrared satellite data, which currently is the primary means of measuring sea surface temperatures, has only been available for about 50 years...

I seriously doubt if the Yanks even know what the BBC stands for and how its track record speaks for itself. BBC documentaries are not only unbiased but are well researched and extremely well made. If one word comes to mind when I hear the name BBC; It is "QUALITY"
You know...this is like wandering into the psych ward by accident. Do you people actuallly exist in the real world?
When I think of the BBC, I think of "Planet Earth" and "Life." I have both series on DVD.
Daisy global temperatures are going down
This graph shows temperatures are dropping drastically in just over 1 month. This is in correlation with the La Nina pattern.
One of the BEST docudramas EVER made is BBC's SPACE RACE! I must have watched it more than 30 times already!My wife's got most of the David Attenborough documentaries. She loves them. They're not really my thing, but even so - I know quality when I see it, and they've got it in spades.
Not wishing to turn this into a "promote the BBC" thread, but I can highly recommend Professor Brian Cox's Wonders of the Solar System - a perfect follow-on to Carl Sagan's Cosmos.
And Doctor Who. Of course.

The past two decades of warming is not significant we have had warming periods that were global before. The Roman warm period the medevil warm period and global cold periods the little ice age. To say that this warm period is different has not been proven.
1) Why do we only talk about the last two decades? There has been warming for some time and, had it not been for the advent (release and usage) of CFCs and other aerosols, it would have been even more pronounced. Regardless, I'm not sure that warming in recorded history has been this abrupt.The past two decades of warming is not significant we have had warming periods that were global before.
