Joe DAleo posted this chart on icecap.us a while back and I wanted to make sure you see it. Click on the chart for full size.
This is the latest decadal plot from February 1998 to February 2008 of global temperatures from Satellite (UAH MSU lower troposphere) (blue) and land and ocean variance adjusted surface (Hadley CRU T3v) (rose) plotted with Scripps monthly CO2 from Mauna Loa (green).
You can easily see the downward trend in temperatures over the past decade and the increase in CO2 over the same time period of about 6%. A decade definitely is not a long enough period to determine a climate trend but it is clear that the correlation between CO2 and temperature over the past 10 years is nearly zero. Not one computer model has forecast this temperature trend correctly.
It seems likely from the graph on this page that La Nina may actually continue into next winter. Also, look at the colder than normal temperatures (blue areas) now being forecast over North and South America from the same model for the remainder of this year. I guess there is no guarantee the model will be correct this time when it has been wrong before but I am glad I did not make the statement contained in this article. Why doesnt anyone ever hold these people accountable?
Also, did you see the comments made by Ted Turner recently? Id be happy to make a bet with him that temperatures will not be 8 degrees warmer in 30 to 40 years but it is not likely hell still be around make good on that bet.
Ted thinks we're all going to turn into Morlocks.
This is all a bunch of scientific MUMBO JUMBO intended on keeping our eyes away from the Divinity of the Religion of Global Warming, taxation be upon us!
The source is WOOD TV? Sounds like a porno station.
Global Warming on Free Republic
It’s not MUMBO JUMBO!!! It’s Garbage in, GOSPEL OUT!!!
BFLR
Turner could place the funds in escrow right now, and you could write him out a promissory note.
LOL,now that right there is funny!
What do you think of my tagline?
btt
Eight degrees hotter?
That means instead of -12 some mornings last winter, it would only have been -4.
Yeah, I could see how that would cause food to not grow and turn us into cannibals.
Well, this seems encouraging on the face of it. Just remember though, minorities and children are still warming.
It’s people! Soylent Green is people!
Oh gee wiz!
How am I supposed to ping you (er race steely and xcamel) to a perfectly good global warming thread when ya already started it???????
Yah tryin’ to confuse me now? Right? Come on.
Admit it.....
Pretty good,but I liked the one about the wombat better (I read that story when it was posted, it was a classic).
Let me get this right.......
We are basing Global CO2 on measurements taken DOWNWIND of one of the most active volcanos on earth?
According to this source: CO2 Degassing at Kilauea Volcano: Implications for Primary Magma, Summit Reservoir Dynamics, and Magma Supply Monitoring
Kileaua blows 8500 TONS of CO2 per day into the atmosphere!!
