Hostage may be an unapologetic formula picture that borrows copiously (right down to its opening titles) from David Fincher's Panic Room, but the movie possesses a grittiness and lack of pretension that can hardly be overvalued in the wake of smug, bloated «entertainments» like Be Cool, Ocean's Twelve and just about every movie Willis has made in the past decade.

So the reasons why American Funds continue their lock on the BDs is because they, their clients, and their Reps just don't know any better; they don't know how to properly compare investment performance, are lazy, it's still is the best way to maximize income and do the least work, habit, it's the path of least resistance that's been working great for over three decades, armies of wholesalers are out schmoozing via free expensive meals and passing out cool stuff daily, then there's the conferences prizes and rewards, and last but never least, regulators haven't gotten around to doing anything about these types of gray - area abuses yet.

I read a post on one of the lists that I haunt, in which the poster touts the idea that earth will be cooling for a few decades now, because the sun is wobbling off the barycenter and will be off by the maximum amount (about 2 solar radii) for some of that time.

There is no «global cooling» at all, despite Monckton's caption — the globe is warming at about 0.18 °C per decade and has been for several decades, with no sign of even a slowdown in this warming, let alone a halt or reversal.

Dr Solomon and her colleagues peg the 2000 - 2009 cooling effect at about a third of the opposite effect they would expect from the carbon dioxide added over the same decade, and only a bit more than a twentieth of the warming expected from the rise in carbon dioxide since the industrial revolution.

If only GHG forcing is used, without aerosols, the surface temperature in the last decade or so is about 0.3 - 0.4 C higher than observations; adding in aerosols has a cooling effect of about 0.3 - 0.4 C (and so cancelling out a portion of the GHG warming), providing a fairly good match between the climate model simulations and the observations.

To point out just a couple of things: — oceans warming slower (or cooling slower) than lands on long - time trends is absolutely normal, because water is more difficult both to warm or to cool (I mean, we require both a bigger heat flow and more time); at the contrary, I see as a non-sense theory (made by some serrist, but don't know who) that oceans are storing up heat, and that suddenly they will release such heat as a positive feedback: or the water warms than no heat can be considered ad «stored» (we have no phase change inside oceans, so no latent heat) or oceans begin to release heat but in the same time they have to cool (because they are losing heat); so, I don't feel strange that in last years land temperatures for some series (NCDC and GISS) can be heating up while oceans are slightly cooling, but I feel strange that they are heating up so much to reverse global trend from slightly negative / stable to slightly positive; but, in the end, all this is not an evidence that lands» warming is led by UHI (but, this effect, I would not exclude it from having a small part in temperature trends for some regional area, but just small); both because, as writtend, it is normal to have waters warming slower than lands, and because lands» temperatures are often measured in a not so precise way (despite they continue to give us a global uncertainity in TT values which is barely the instrumental's one)-- but, to point out, HadCRU and MSU of last years (I mean always 2002 - 2006) follow much better waters» temperatures trend; — metropolis and larger cities temperature trends actually show an increase in UHI effect, but I think the sites are few, and the covered area is very small worldwide, so the global effect is very poor (but it still can be sensible for regional effects); but I would not run out a small warming trend for airport measurements due mainly to three things: increasing jet planes traffic, enlarging airports (then more buildings and more asphalt — if you follow motor sports, or simply live in a town / city, you will know how easy they get very warmer than air during day, and how much it can slow night - time cooling) and overall having airports nearer to cities (if not becoming an area inside the city after some decade of hurban growth, e.g. Milan - Linate); — I found no point about UHI in towns and villages; you will tell me they are not large cities; but, in comparison with 20-40-60 years ago when they were «countryside», many small towns and villages have become part of larger hurban areas (at least in Europe and Asia) so examining just larger cities would not be enough in my opinion to get a full view of UHI effect (still remembering that it has a small global effect: we can say many matters are due to UHI instead of GW, maybe even that a small part of measured GW is due to UHI, and that GW measurements are not so precise to make us able to make good analisyses and predictions, but not that GW is due to UHI).

Still, U.S. temperatures between 1910 through the mid-1940s were warmer than now, and then cooled again for about three decades following World War II industrialization which added a lot of CO2 to the atmosphere.

Empirically, I think there is good evidence that the overall climate relaxation time is order of 1 - 3 decades — that is, although there is good reason to think that the Earth had «started to cool» by the middle of the last solar cycle (about the time it stopped even thinking about getting overall warmer) it has taken a solid decade for actual cooling to think about revealing itself, and that is still masked by a lot of noise in the complex system.

The only difference is that the attribution will be 90 % towards clouds and water vapour and since humans are in no way responsible for these factors AGW will be just about natural global warming which ended over a decade ago and replaced by the global cooling which started in 2002 and will likely continue nuntil at least the end of solar cycle 25 around 2032

«In the oceans, major climate warming and cooling and pH (ocean pH about 8.1) changes are a fact of life, whether it is over a few years as in an El Niño, over decades as in the Pacific Decadal Oscillation or the North Atlantic Oscillation, or over a few hours as a burst of upwelling (pH about 7.59 - 7.8) appears or a storm brings acidic rainwater (pH about 4 - 6) into an estuary.»

If we are in a long - term warming trend that will last hundreds of years more, I'm afraid debates about anomaly charts, and whether or not a year set a new record, are mental masturbation — some decades will have warming, other decades will have cooling, but record high average temperatures will occur regularly or irregularly while the Modern Warming temperature uptrend is in progress. . .

Like Foster and Rahmstorf, Lean and Rind (2008) performed a multiple linear regression on the temperature data, and found that while solar activity can account for about 11 % of the global warming from 1889 to 2006, it can only account for 1.6 % of the warming from 1955 to 2005, and had a slight cooling effect -LRB--0.004 °C per decade) from 1979 to 2005.
