----------------------------------------classic case of head in a bucket or not seeing the wood for the trees "Hansen [of NASA's GISS] says the heat wave that struck Texas and Oklahoma last summer and the Moscow heat wave of 2010 (which caused 11,000 deaths in the city) are examples of three-sigma anomalies. In a paper published last year in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Stefan Rahmstorf and Dim Coumou of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, in Germany, wrote that it was 80 percent probable that the Moscow heat wave had been caused by global warming. “These three-sigma anomalies,” Hansen says, “we can now say are due to global warming.” But what about the extreme cold snaps climate-change deniers keep pointing to? Even with global warming, Hansen told Time.com in an email, there “is still a broad bell curve. In fact, it has become broader, which means there will still be times when a season is colder than average. When that happens [people] should not say, ‘What happened to global warming?’ It will still be there — they are just looking at natural variability.” herein lies the problem. When it's warmer it is claimed to be Man Made when it is colder it is attributed to Natural Variability Me I don't need to deny anything For absolute certainty I know that the first 4 months of this year were warmer than last year. What I wouldn't do is extrapolate those 4 months into an inexorable rise and claim it will bring about our all too imminent doom. That would be stupid much like the claims around 2007 that the Arctic Sea Ice was in inexorable death spiral of decline.... http://arctic-roos.org/observations/satellite.../ssmi1_ice_area_small.png http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosphere/IMAGE...ly.ice.area.withtrend.jpg |

---------------------------------------- These people are criminal and should be in the hokey  Penn State 'Climate Ethics' Prof. Donald Brown says skeptics are guilty of a 'new crime against humanity' for delaying action on global warming -- 'It is really evil stuff. It is nasty' Brown attacks Climate Depot for posting his email: [Climate Depot] puts my picture and my personal email and within 48 hours you get hundreds of really nasty [emails], some of them are up here, death threats, hate mail' Saturday, May 12, 2012By Marc Morano – Climate Depot "Climate Ethics" Prof. Donald Brown of Penn State University declared that skeptics may be guilty of a “new crime against humanity” for causing a 25 year delay in acting to stop climate change. Brown, who appeared alongside Climategate professor Michael Mann at a Penn State forum on April 30, 2012, slammed what he termed the “disinformation campaign.” Watch Video of Brown and Mann here. (Brown's comments on Climate Depot begin around 23:00 and his “new crimes against humanity” remark are around 24:50 mark – H/T to Tom Nelson) Brown also unloaded on Climate Depot for posting his email address (Dab57@psu.edu) and he lamented the tactics and the impact of climate skeptics. http://www.climatedepot.com/a/15861/Penn-Stat...Depot+%28Climate+Depot%29 by the way Happy Mothers Day to all Hug a tree today [Edit 1 times, last edit by GeraldRube at May 13, 2012 10:25:17 PM] |
