Global Warming: Stopped 16 years ago

[_Quasimodo]

Global warming has STALLED since 1998:

You must realize that quoting the Daily Mail is much like quoting the National Enquirer. Here are some more reliable quotes.

Please remove your head from wherever it is that you are keeping it (it must smell bad there, anyway).

Pure hokum. Observations of the weather mixed with rabid police statist fanatic James Hansen's sauteed data and some other servings of flat-footed pseudo-scientific mendacity. All of this has been utterly discredited for upwards of a decade (at the least) and no exhuming it again and again and again and wailing the same debunked mantras will save the ideology of AGW.

The Arctic is cooling, not warming, and the vast bulk of the continent, save for approximate 2 -3 % of it - the Arctic Peninsula - has been undergoing a slight cooling since I was a boy (the Arctic was somewhat warmer in the 1930s than it is today). Sea levels have been rising continuously since the end of the last major glacial age, about 14,000 years ago, and are presently rising at about 6 inches inches per century.

Move along...

Droopy, you are totally blowing this out your donkey!

Since you clearly neither know, or care to know, what you are talking about, and have actually - like the vast majority of leftists - abandoned actual thinking as a core feature of your personal experience, and do not care to be educated or informed in any meaningful sense, yet again, there's really no productive argument here to be had.

I posted many sources that refute this right wing crap (there are hundreds more). I really do not understand why it's some holy grail of the right wing to disbelieve the obvious.

You are correct in one thing. There is no productive argument to be had. Have a nice night.

You posted a body of long discredited propaganda, junk science, and outright mendacity. This hoax is all over, Quasi, all over, for the intelligent, really educated, and intellectually honest - and that is the really key that unlocks the door of rational, productive critical discourse - or even serious polemics - on this subject.

I will repeat, Quasi: there is not a single shred of observable, verifiable, empirical scientific evidence for the claims of DAGW/CAGW, never have been, and the models - which are virtually the sole source of the entire theory - have been discredited by long available empirical data as well as their own significant (and well understood, unless you believe the IPCC's agitprop and get your knowledge about the issue from the mainstream media) internal weaknesses for a long time now.

The thing about the Eloi is that they really don't care, and they don't really care because they really don't know anything of any real value or which is actually connected or related to the external universe in which they are embedded, and they don't know that they don't know, and they don't care that they don't know.

We are living in the information age, but unfortunately, the defining feature of our age is the flight from truth:

Argh! I wasn't going to answer you any more on this because it' a waste of broadband (you are beyond reason). Just this one for anyone else reading along.

The articles I posted are from reliable sources and are from this week's news. Certainly not around long enough to be "long discredited propaganda".

You would much rather defend your arcane views than be rational. I'll leave the polemics to you.

The glaciers are still melting with no end in sight. I imagine Bc and Droopy might attribute that to the proliferation of the mole-like Hothead Naked Ice Borers.

2012 marked the warmest year on record for the contiguous United States with the year consisting of a record warm spring, second warmest summer, fourth warmest winter and a warmer-than-average autumn. The average temperature for 2012 was 55.3°F, 3.2°F above the 20th century average, and 1.0°F above 1998, the previous warmest year.

Droopy oscillates between mutually contradictory skeptical arguments that deny global warming is occurring and those that say it is, but deny that human causes play a significant part. Read his posting history for the effect.
