It's absolutely impossible to compute "what should be". Climate is a "HUGE" unpredictable mechanism of the universe.

The best we can do is take what happens every year...and guess that it's gonna happen next year, too...with a little variation.

Only a catastrophic event will modify the future of "climate".

It sure is awfully hot in Texas this year and dry. Sick of it! Was real cold last winter though..

[familyop]

Well, it did warm up about eight years ago. It’s doing so again but not as much as around 2003 or so. In about three years or so, it’s going to start getting mighty cold.

What do you mean? MSNBC keeps telling me the world is the warmest it’s ever been, so it MUST be true! /sarc

[Let's Roll]

Because facts weren’t needed to convince the AGW faithful? They believe whatever the consensus (snicker) builders tell them without proof.

[almost done by half]

We need to bring back steam engines and ships now!!! ;-)

[MNDude]

Um, what’s the simplest answer to this question?

[pallis]

I think there is a simple answer to that question. God is having a little fun with the warming cultists and the pop science crazies.

[Balding_Eagle]

If true, it looks like our expensive, low sulfur, diesel fuel is adding to global warming.

[Elsiejay]

” . . .. we have overestimated the gross sensitivity of temperature to carbon dioxide in our computer models.”

I believe this imputes too much rationality, too much of a commitment to impartial scientific inquiry on the part of the Druids of Carbon Dioxide the Culprit.

[max americana]

They always come up with this global warming crap during SUMMER...I wonder why.

[hinckley buzzard]

Way back with the first IPCC predictions in the 1990's, the results already were discrediting their prophecies. So they dragged out this sulphate aerosol excuse, twenty years ago, to account for their failure. It didn't pan out empirically, so it disappeared from the discussion, until now. It is like the boogeyman they drag out of the closet to scare the kiddies when reality won't cooperate.

[bmwcyle]

Because all you Conservatives refuse to believe. If you wish upon a lie.......

[samtheman]

To rephrase: why is it that something that doesn’t exist can’t be
measured?

[FromTheSidelines]

Clearly Mother Earth is still sick, it has a fever - that’s what the Algore and AGW Priests have told us (may IPCC be praised). But right now it’s just having the chills..

Wait until this phase passes and Mother Earth moves to the vomiting stage!

Conclusion: Global warming is man made - our Clean Air Act mandated removing particulates from emissions.

[Ron C.]

Well, the dummies, this isn't the first minimum that has lasted so long, There are several recorded at over 14 years, so nothing to get excited about.

And no, the cause isn't something we're doing on earth... idiots. Despite there wish to do so, ignorant 'scientists' can't control the worlds weather - or even explain it beyond the obvious.
