The startling admission shows once again that United Nations theories and climate models are wildly inaccurate at best, experts say, meaning multi-trillion dollar schemes to deal with alleged human-caused “climate change” are at the very least severely misguided.


There has been no noticeable increase in global temperatures since early 1997. The alleged warming trend supposedly observed from 1980 to 1996 was about as long as the current “plateau” period, the paper reported. Prior to that, climate scientists admit, global temperatures had been stable or dropping for decades, a fact that prompted previous generations of climate alarmists to sound the alarm about the supposed dangers of man-made “global cooling.”
 
Is this what global warming looks like? Over 2000 new low temperature records set in October

In the continental USA, there were 137 high temperature type records versus 857 low temperature type records this past week , a 6-1 difference. Last week there were1154 low temperature type recordsputting the two week total for October at 2011. There were also 24 new snowfall records set this week in the upper plains.

Once again, if this had been summer, and the numbers reversed, you’d see Seth Borenstein writing articles for AP telling usthis is ‘what global warming looks like’. So far not a peep out of Seth on this cold wave and what it is supposed to mean.
 
Sixteen Concerned Scientists:
No Need to Panic About Global Warming

The lack of warming for more than a decade—indeed, the smaller-than-predicted warming over the 22 years since the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) began issuing projections—suggests that computer models have greatly exaggerated how much warming additional CO2 can cause. Faced with this embarrassment, those promoting alarm have shifted their drumbeat from warming to weather extremes, to enable anything unusual that happens in our chaotic climate to be ascribed to CO2.
The fact is that CO2 is not a pollutant. CO2 is a colorless and odorless gas, exhaled at high concentrations by each of us, and a key component of the biosphere's life cycle. Plants do so much better with more CO2 that greenhouse operators often increase the CO2 concentrations by factors of three or four to get better growth. This is no surprise since plants and animals evolved when CO2 concentrations were about 10 times larger than they are today. Better plant varieties, chemical fertilizers and agricultural management contributed to the great increase in agricultural yields of the past century, but part of the increase almost certainly came from additional CO2 in the atmosphere.

Editor's Note: The following has been signed by the 16 scientists listed at the end of the article:

Claude Allegre, former director of the Institute for the Study of the Earth, University of Paris; J. Scott Armstrong, cofounder of the Journal of Forecasting and the International Journal of Forecasting; Jan Breslow, head of the Laboratory of Biochemical Genetics and Metabolism, Rockefeller University; Roger Cohen, fellow, American Physical Society; Edward David, member, National Academy of Engineering and National Academy of Sciences; William Happer, professor of physics, Princeton; Michael Kelly, professor of technology, University of Cambridge, U.K.; William Kininmonth, former head of climate research at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology; Richard Lindzen, professor of atmospheric sciences, MIT; James McGrath, professor of chemistry, Virginia Technical University; Rodney Nichols, former president and CEO of the New York Academy of Sciences; Burt Rutan, aerospace engineer, designer of Voyager and SpaceShipOne; Harrison H. Schmitt, Apollo 17 astronaut and former U.S. senator; Nir Shaviv, professor of astrophysics, Hebrew University, Jerusalem; Henk Tennekes, former director, Royal Dutch Meteorological Service; Antonio Zichichi, president of the World Federation of Scientists, Geneva.

While I don't follow this Seth I think some conversation should be around what constitutes a trend.

For example, Oct was cold for Minnesota. It actually it broke a 16 month trend of higher than average temperatures for this area of the planet. Nov and Dec stopped the 'cold trend'. We're back above average. For additional information as of Dec 9th we average more than a foot of snow. We had 8/10ths of an inch due to the drought and warm temps. If we're myoptic and only look at Oct there's a cold wave. If we take the much longer term climate trend over the last 20 months there are 19 which are increasingly warmer than average. If we step back further and compare today's climate to that of a 100 years ago indeed we see a climate that's warmer than what our Great-Grandparents experienced. That's why we have ships now transporting across the Arctic Circle in the wintertime. http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2012/12/08/18727498.php
 
You are Lewis Page and I claim my lump of coal!

Whyzzat's resident climate denier acknowledges reality of global warming.
(again)
I love these parody threads.:lol:

You enjoying yourself? I'm not the one who denies the LIA. Shame you aren't able to think rationally on this subject.

NASA's TRMM Satellite Sees Tornado Spawning Thunderstorms

In the United States, tornadoes develop most often in the spring when warm moist unstable air accompanies strong fronts and fluctuating upper-air systems. There is a also a slight increase in tornado activity in late October and November. Tornadoes form least often in December and January so the tornadoes that occurred yesterday, Dec.10, over the southeastern United States were unusual.

The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite, managed by both NASA and the Japanese Space Agency was flying over the southeastern U.S. on December 10, 2012 at 1743 UTC (12:43 PM EST). As TRMM flew overhead its instruments captured data showing tornado spawning thunderstorms within a frontal system moving through Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and northern Florida. The image and animation created at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. shows a rainfall analysis from data captured with TRMM's Microwave Imager (TMI) and Precipitation Radar (PR) instruments. TRMM's Precipitation Radar (PR) found rain falling at a rate of over 77 mm/hr (~3 inches) in a few of these powerful storms. The locations of some of the tornado reported are shown overlaid in red.
