The uptrend accompanying the Industrial Revolution began at the depths of the Little Ice Age (approximately 1700) and progressed with 32 year up trends and less steep down trends through the 20th century. It became known as Global Warming (GW) during the comparatively steep rise in the last quarter of the 20th century. <br /><br />GW ended before 2001. Measured average global temperature trend since 2001 has been flat (average of the 5 reporting agencies) and is 0.3 K less than 'consensus' predictions. That 0.3 K that didn’t happen is 40% of the total rise in the 20th century. Meanwhile, since 2001, the CO2 level has increased by 30% of the total increase 1800-2001.<br /><br />Two natural drivers of climate change have been identified that explain measured average global temperatures since before 1900 with R2 >0.9 (95% correlation) and provide credible estimates back to the low temperatures of the Little Ice Age (1610). CO2 change is not one of them.<br /><br />The method, equation, data sources, history (hind cast to 1610) and predictions (through 2037) are provided at http://agwunveiled.blogspot.com and references.<br /><br /><br />Dan Pangburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898549182266117774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-88434292704314692202014-08-03T13:03:27.992-04:002014-08-03T13:03:27.992-04:00The reason that the phrase “Global Warming Deniers...The reason that the phrase “Global Warming Deniers” is used is that the “Deniers” ignore demonstrable evidence, and fabricate stories and “facts” that are not true.<br /><br />For example, the claim<br />“No Global Warming For Nearly 18 Years”<br />is NOT true.<br /><br />Despite the fantasies of Global Warming Deniers, the earth continues to warm at the rate of 4 Hiroshima atomic bombs per second – running 24/7 - including the years from 1998 to present.<br />http://www.skepticalscience.com/4-Hiroshima-bombs-worth-of-heat-per-second.html<br />Earth’s Rate Of Global Warming Is 400,000 Hiroshima Bombs A Day<br />http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2013/12/22/3089711/global-warming-hiroshima-bombs/#<br />Four Hiroshima bombs a second: How we imagine climate change<br />http://phys.org/news/2013-08-hiroshima-climate.html<br />This measured/observed warming rate is via the Argo buoy system. http://www.argo.ucsd.edu/About_Argo.html<br /><br />2005 was warmer than any previous year.

When readings from sites that have been well sited for their entire "life" are looked at, such as the one in Orland, CA that is shown on their home page that has been well sited for over 100 years, we're cooler than the 1930s, and way cooler than the 1880s.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
