To make it even more interesting, many «skeptics» also argue that
none of the temperature records showing climate change are valid, even as they argue that those same temperature records show a «pause in global warming.»
Not exact matches
None of those factors bias the
temperature record.
However, there are only 50 states, and this is a number that isn't large enough to give the best statistical results... [a better metric is a] year - by - year numbers
of daily all - time
record high
temperatures from a set
of 970 weather stations with at least 80 years
of record... There are 365 opportunities in each year (366 in leap years) for each
of the 970 stations to set a
record high... Note the several years above 6000 events prior to 1940 and
none above 5000 since 1954.
Not only is the data deeply suspect after the U.S. government was repeatedly accused by experts
of fudging the
temperature record to show warming when
none existed, both
of the agencies in question have been forced to back down from similar «warmest on
record» claims on multiple occasions in the past.
Lets look at the short term CO2 growth rate change due to
temperature change and notice that the fudged
record does not track growth rate change as well as the charts do here: http://www.biomind.de/realCO2/ When I try to understand why the CO2 levels may have been kept low by the LONG effects
of volcanic activity as well as Krakatoa in 1883 I see a VE6 in 1902 and another in 1912 but then
none that large until 1991 and I do not remember it being anything like the descriptions
of Krakatoa.
-- Muller believes humans are changing climate with CO2 emissions — humans have been responsible for «most»
of a 0.4 C warming since 1957, almost
none of the warming before then — IPCC is in trouble due to sloppy science, exaggerated predictions; chairman will have to resign — the «Climategate» mails were not «hacked» — they were «leaked» by an insider — due to «hide the decline» deception, Muller will not read any future papers by Michael Mann — there has been no increase in hurricanes or tornadoes due to global warming — automobiles are insignificant in overall picture — China is the major CO2 producer, considerably more than USA today — # 1 priority for China is growth
of economy — global warming is not considered important — China CO2 efficiency (GDP per ton CO2) is around one - fourth
of USA today, has much room for improvement — China growth will make per capita CO2 emissions at same level as USA today by year 2040 — if it is «not profitable» it is «not sustainable» — US energy future depends on shale gas for automobiles; hydrogen will not be a factor — nor will electric cars, due to high cost — Muller is upbeat on nuclear (this was
recorded pre-Fukushima)-- there has been no warming in the USA — Muller was not convinced
of Hansen's GISS
temperature record; hopes BEST will provide a better
record.
None of the recent
temperature changes has been at all outside the historical
record.
None of the four Tiljander proxies used in Mann08 can be meaningfully calibrated to the instrumental
temperature record, the result
of progressive contamination
of any climate signals during the 19th and 20th centuries by local activities (farming, peat cutting, road building, bridge reconstruction, lake eutrophication).
To me,
none of the Tiljander
records seem to say much about climate changes (eg
temperature or precipitation) going into the LIA.
For the past four years I had a US$ 1,000 wager that backed the proposition that by end
of year 2016 there would be a new
record high global average
temperature — and I offered that wager to many thousands
of deniers:
none of you clowns would accept the wager.
