The more I look at those charts from that volcano, the more it reminds me of the static readings one gets measuring an air filter’s effectiveness and air passed right up until the point where it has to be cleaned.

"So methane may still be in a plateau -- CO2 is not."

Scientist says global warming promotion 'smacks of McCarthyism complete with witch hunts'

The most reliable global, regional and local temperature records from around the world display no distinguishable trend up or down over the past century.

The last peak temperatures were around 1940 and 1998, with troughs of low temperature around 1910 and 1970.

I don't doubt NOAA's CO2 data, but I've seen a number of stories that recorded temperatures haven't increased since 1998.

They use computer models that don't account for water in its various forms. Why is new religion of global warming/climate change proselytized by various elements of the left? This is just another scam for social engineering and control of the masses, IMHO.
