PS... '51-'80 versus '61-'90 and there you have the 0.2C per decade rise so often heard **... it's not linear, not at all, so one has to plot long ranges to make it visible with confidence and not with 4 bar charts. Ideally more than 30 years, for that's the time it takes to see a signal in the noise.
----------------------------------------** Many physicists and climate scientists fear it's a gross underestimation. Warmer ocean surfaces are not very good at absorbing CO2... watch the Mauna Loa figure for February.

Need for typing much faster:
----------------------------------------Snow cover yesterday... as is self evident it's not holding and a wide red band of short fall is developing over Eurasia. Daily Departure - February 24, 2010 (Day 55)  Feel sorry for those in the US who feel sorry to be clobbered, but that's how it is, east of the Rocky Mountains... the reason Greenland has been covered for several million years. But looking at the temp maps a very large area of Greenland has been too warm (not as cold) during past months and Iceland is standing out there middle of the ocean and a feb.13 report from way up north that it was not -34C on, but just -21C. That should gobsmack some.  Was 2005 not supposed to be that warmest year record of HADCRU when cooling started?

Were it but true that there was a permanent 0.2C discrepancy between HadCRUT3 and NASA GISS then I might agree with you.
----------------------------------------as it is..... How many climate variables are you going to lay claim to Sek while singularly blaming our increase in the CO2? Sek it is not getting any warmer and the ice caps are not melting away for good. Really they are not. Our weather, our climate is well within the bounds of being perfectly normal as measured over last 150 years or so with any accuracy Perfectly normal, nothing extreme, nothing unprecedented, nothing going on inexorably, no climate crisis just everyday run of the mill yearly variation and unfolding seasons, just as you would expect. Just as you should expect. Dave  |

Sek before you get to scaring more people with your doommongering
----------------------------------------Have a look at this http://ocean.dmi.dk/arctic/meant80n.uk.php The Red wiggly line is Weather the Green one is Climate Peaks and troughs in the red line around either side of the green As is to be expected About -29C at 80 degrees North so not a lot of melting going on I wouldn't expect Dave |

 65W TDP around 15.7 GFlops Currently very green as I am still saving up the pennies for the 80plus Gold PSU (http://www.80plus.org/) but I'm getting there...slowly No sooner than you buy the most efficient CPU...they release a faster one (the 910e 1st Feb 2010) Going to find out just how much you can do with less  It is sitting in one of these http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/825 The last time I bought a new motherboard for my key cruncher was back in 2002 an nForce2, we have come a long way since then  Dave |

That's funny
---------------------------------------- the JAXA data has rolled back to the 23rd Feb  http://www.ijis.iarc.uaf.edu/en/home/seaice_extent.htm Maybe a sea-ice extent of 14,009,844 km2 on February 24, 2010 just didn't sit well with the "Warmest January on Record" Call me a cynic  Dave |

Back in my native Yorkshire when we happen across a tall tale like this
----------------------------------------"Whaling worsens carbon release, scientists warn" http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8538033.stm We would exclaim "Oh My Giddy Aunt!" Google it They are clutching at straws much like this lovely piece of nonsense Vast iceberg 'may disrupt ocean currents' A vast iceberg which broke off the Antarctic continent this month could disrupt the world's ocean currents and weather patterns, scientists warn. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8538060.stm They must be ramping up (scraping the barrel of) the "we are all doomed" rumour mill offensive back at the BBC in light of recent events. Got to keep the Masses living in fear Dave |

Going to find out just how much you can do with less David what about that: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/25w-perfo...ower_computing&xtcr=2 and http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/core-i5-overclocking,2541.html  |
