So it was not a measured thing, but a figure introduced from outside. I accused them of this at the Academy of Sciences in Moscow— I said you have introduced factors from outside; it’s not a measurement. It looks like it is measured from the satellite, but you don’t say what really happened. And they answered, that we had to do it, because otherwise we would not have gotten any trend!

It's not science when a lie is needed to get the right conclusion.

No sunspots for you....welcome to another 400 years of cold.

If we are lucky. The "Big Freeze" is really overdue. If this is the beginning of that, it could be a lot longer than 400 years, and a lot colder than the "Little Ice Age". In the chart below, "now" is on the left. Time runs from right to left.

You can also see that we are not as warm now as the peaks of the last few 100,000 year cycles. You can also see that the cooling tends to be just as fast as the warming was, for a while, and then it settles down to slower rate of decent.

Don't forget that the Messaih and his synchopants in Congress are going to tax the snot out of "carbon emissions" to prevent what doesn't seem to be happening.

The latest I heard was that businesses will have to buy carbon credits from the government, and then either then give them back when they emit carbon, or sell them to others who wish to emit carbon. Those others would then give them to the government.

Hey, he's gotta pay for all that socialist pork somehow.

Don't even really need careful reading to see the parameters of the scam. All it takes is a thoughtful and even unspoken question: What is the overarching goal these little chickens (or Chicken Little's?) hope to achieve?

It always seems to track right back to massive and immediate societal change that creates a modern utopia solidly grounded in Marxist ideals. This "goal" is always accompanied by blather from the liberal elites that we must all make some small sacrifices to our personal liberties for the greater good of society and indeed the entire planet. However close examination also reveals that the only sacrifices being made will be made by you and me, never the limousine or Lear Jet liberals who see it as their sacred task to safeguard the transition from freedom to tyranny.

The exclamation point on this farce comes courtesy of the God of the universe. Notice that the last seven or so of these global warming confabs held here in the USA have been the subject of heavy snowfall and often blizzard-like conditions. Who says God has no sense of humor?

Three of a kind is usually a winning hand. Those other guys may be a little too classy for Al though.

50-150 thousand years of glaciation?

That's what the historical record says. Some of those cycles are understood, having to do with the precession of the earth's axis and orbit, others are not. This guy, believes that the 100Kyr cycle is caused by variations in the inclination of the Earth's orbital plane, called nutation.. A 41Kyr cycle is attributed to changes in the earth's obliquity or axial tilt. The 41Kyr cycle dominated until about 1.5 -2 million years ago, while the 100 Kyr cycle has dominated from 1 million year ago to the present.

The whole business is referred to as Milankovitch Variations or cycles.

For the record.... Bangladesh is doomed. Don’t buy stock or securities in a Bangladeshi company. When the ice melts the country will disappear.
