Are we heading for a mini ice age?

...and here is another substantial paper, that describes exactly how the sun changes the climate:

Oh please, nothing there less than a decade old. See http://www.realclimate.org/damon&laut_2004.pdf

It is also very satisfying to see the books from AGW sceptics become best sellers.

Yeah, there are a lot of wishful thinkers out there. But books are not peer-reviewed. However if popular science is your thing, consider that the movie An Inconvenient Truth by Nobel Prize winner Al Gore, won the Oscar for Best Documentary and grossed $49 million ..... not bad for a slide show.

PJ.
You are right...I love you.

Now please will you send some of your warming up here to Cumbria?

It's bl**dy FREEZING up here tonight!!!.

If the temperature globally in the next n years goes up, the warmists will claim victory.
If the temperature globally in the next n years goes down, the warmists will say natural cooling is masking the man-made warming and will claim victory.
If the temperature globally in the next n years stays about same, the warmists will say natural cooling is masking the man-made warming and will claim victory.

If n < 10 they claim it's just "weather" so doesn't count.

If anyone points out any claim made in the past by the warmists as being incorrect, the warmists claim the science has evolved/moved on and claim victory.

There's no science to any of it, it's a disgraceful sham, backed by govts to raise yet more taxes.

And that's my final words on this sad subject.

If we replace "warmist" with "skeptic" isn't the result equally true?

Everyone knows that Schmidt is 'informed'

Everyone knows that 99.9999 of us are not 'informed'

Everyone knows that Scientists and schoolkids should show their workings

so... Schmidt...inform us


Schmidt does not want to show his workings.

I do not want to pay Schmidt salary any more

I do not want to listen to Schmidt any more

I want to be sceptical

Oh per-leeze. Schmidt makes a jokey remark in an internal email and you're all over him. He is the public face of the NASA GISTEMP project - 100% public domain code and data. When you can find him hiding any of the results in his peer-reviewed science (or any of the other several thousands of studies that underpin the concensus position) be sure to get back to us.

And what if every decade for half a century is warmer than the previous decade?

Are you a 'peer reviewer'?

I would definitely choose you, if I were Mr Schmidt...
