Global Warming for Dummies

[pjclarke]

There is indeed evidence that there was unusual medieval warmth in Northern Europe, and Greenland - but no evidence that it was anything more than regional, and no evidence at all of a global and synchronous warming such as is happening now.

And Japan and China, with the Cherry blossoms... Guess that makes it regional in all the regions that kept records, on opposite sides of the planet and these flakes would have you believe it didn't occur in the areas that didn't write anything...

HSE are hysterical about white asbestos, as they are about many things. It is in their interests to be, normal organisational behaviour. There's quite a bit of white asbestos floating around naturally in the air, and just about anything in the concentrations that are harmful are also going to be bad for you.

But keep up the troll, it is mildly entertaining.

Difficult to believe that when Europe and Greenland are both warm over a period of a couple of hundred years, it was local (it was weather was it?). So was the atlantic cold then? (the Atlantic is a fairly big place), and for the Gulf Stream to be warmer wouldn't the source also be warmer (Mexico) and what about Canada? Did the prevailing Westerlies suddenly give up the ghost and funny local climates appear?

Looks to me a global phenonemenon

The Big Brother approach of rewriting history, after a climate scientist discovered it, is quite incredible.

oh and the West of Canada was warm....and maybe the pacific? (The pacific is a very big place)

I am sure that readers here are familiar with the concept of uncertainty ranges or 'error bars'

Only since studying the "science" behind AGW.
Funnily enough, I cannot recall Mr Gore admitting to any level of uncertainty. He was quite specific in his claims, particularly relating to things like Arctic Ice and its impending disappearance.

PJClarke = Phil Jones

Now that he has some spare time on his hands he fills his day trolling forums trying to boltser support for AGW

Only since studying the "science" behind AGW. :

The idea of one of the top 5 retards on CUK "studying the science behind AGW" has just made me lose coffee over my screen.

Senior scientists at the Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology (WITG) has rejected the Global Warming Theory and told that the Himalayas are quite safer zone on earth, where Global Warming has no role in controlling the conditions.

With the US Republican opposition party moving towards full rejection of AGW Sad that the UK will be left on its own, smothered in wind mills, trying desperately to save the earth.

Left on it's own creating hundreds of new carbon taxes purely to finance Gordon's perpetual tax and spend frenzy.

Smothered in windmills that we have to import

Labours green credentials don't extend to actually manufacturing the damn things

Well, most of the land mass (and land is just 30% of the surface, remember) is in the NH, so that is where we have the richest source of historical and proxy data.

But, ice cores in the Antarctic and corals in the Pacific indicate that when it was warm (though not as warm as the last half of c20th) in Europe and Greenland, it was cold in the SH.

Besides which, spot the logical fallacy ... it was naturally warm in previous centuries, therefore recent global warming is not manmade....
