Proves my point! Select 2008 and we have cooling. Select 30 years ago we have warming. Pick any time in the last 1000 years and you are picking statistical NOISE as it relates to average worldwide temperatures.
Look at long term trends > 1000 years there is a steady decline in average temperatures.
The ONLY way to make any credible evaluation is to first prove CO2 can cause long term warming. Then if you are able to somehow do that, PROVE the length of time required for MAN MADE CO2 to increase enough to have any effect.
Then and ONLY then can you go back far enough in time to see if CO2 has had the projected effect.
The lying scientists have not used the scientific method to PROVE just the first 2 steps.
These ‘scientists’ are doing the equivalent of fitting a straight line to 1/4 of a sine wave, but most folks are so scientifically and mathematically illiterate that they blindly accept whatever they hear.
On another note, the supposed increase in Atlantic storms could likely be due to advanced observation systems. Even 100 years ago, many times folks found out a hurricane was coming when it showed up at their front door. Nowadays we get to name and number every atmospheric ripple from the Gulf to Morocco.
