No one said temperatures aren’t warmer, the question is, is man to blame.
Actually, temps have been getting cooler since 1998, despite what the idiotic climate change fanatics say. It is a proven fact, one that global warmists tend to ignore. While the earth has warmed for centuries while coming out of an ice age, it is cooling now. Neither change can be attributed to man.
Many people take issue with the contention that the earth has been getting warmer over the past decade, including at least one global warming acolyte at CRU who acknowledged privately (in an email that was subsequently leaked) that there has been no measurable warming since the late 1990s.
Exactly and this areticle never mentions “man made” GW.
True. And the second question is, how severe may be the results; moderate warming is still well within historical bounds and would likely be a good thing.
But the big enchilada, if we become convinced that we need to massively reduce carbon emissions, is whether we are actually prepared to take realistic action, which would mean going nuclear. Clearly the doomsday crowd still remains overwhelmingly anti-nuclear. They demand comprehensive government control over economic activity with cripplingly high energy costs thrown in, all for vanishingly small environmental gains, while awaiting a silver bullet solution that may or may not ever emerge from the labs.
This leads, of course, to the suspicion that the comprehensive government control is what they are really after, since their proposed remedies are simply not responsive to the problem with which they claim to be concerned.
If we want to get off carbon in a big way, we have to go nuclear for baseload electrical generation. Wind and solar aren't there. Transportation fuels are easier: advanced biofuels are closer to commercialization, and a nuclear based energy system could accommodate electric vehicles.
No, even the temperature increase itself has been in question due to the chicanery employed in data selection and processing. I've no idea if this new study does in fact remove the cause for doubt or if it's just more of the same old agenda-driven thing.
