“confirming previous studies that have found a climate that has been warming – in fits and starts – since around 1900.
Most climate scientists attribute warming since the mid-1950, at least to some degree, to carbon dioxide emissions from human activities – burning coal, oil, and to a lesser extent gas, and from land-use changes.”
OK, so this warming started around 1900, but only since the mid 50s (to some degree!!) was it caused by man’s activities. Just what caused the “warming” between 1900 and the 50s?
And what melted the Ice Age and mini Ice Age? I’m no Rocket Scientist, but I do know there were no SUV’s at that time.
Yes but from the 1940’s to the 70’s the temps dropped which caused the Global Cooling spastic fit. When man-caused CO2 was pouring into the atmosphere the temps dropped! This was after WWII when the global industrial explosion really occurred. Oil and Coal were king - every continent was building and burning and still the temps dropped. TO me this means they cannot predict with their models, and CO2 has a much smaller contribution than what the Warmists have been saying.
If they are so right, then predict something with accuracy, consistently and then show us the models and data.
When you put a thermometer on a chimney - I think the data is invalid.
IF all the measuring takes place in heat sinks, the data is invalid.
This is more politics than science. Especially the way they demonize their opponents, in a complete Soviet style personal attack.
