In your world, it seems BAD news, no matter how short in duration, is climate change but GOOD news is only weather:Stoaty said:Reg, we have talked about this before, but clearly you haven't understood: weather involves short term fluctuations, climate is an average over a period of 15-30 years. I have presented the data showing that each decade has been hotter than the last globally. That means that the world is warming, it hasn't stopped. That's why we just had the hottest March-June on record globally. I can't make it any simpler than that. Your denial of the data and cherry picking some arbitrary point to count from means you either don't understand that random variations in temperature (weather) is not relevant to climate or you have an ulterior motive (probably political) for denying what is happening.RegGuheert said:What is not happening is the world is not warming this century.
[Other denialist falsehoods snipped]
Perhaps I should rephrase what I said. The world has been in a cooling trend for over a decade. Most likely, that cooling trend will accelerate as the sun comes down from the second peak of its current cycle.Stoaty said:I have lived in Southern California all my life. We are in record territory. Most likely we are experiencing the early effects of climate change:
You can deny the current cooling trend if you wish.
