    Don't you think it would be better for you to get some discipline, and get some skills so you can get a well-paying contract?
    Might also improve your general low level of logic, knowledge and reasoning at the same time.

    The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consulafft, at Bergen, Norway.

    Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far North as 81 degrees 29 minutes.

    Soundings to 3,100 metres show the Gulf Stream still very warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have completely disappeared. Very few seals and no white fish are found in the Eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts, which have so far never ventured so far North, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds. Within a few years it is predicted that, due to the ice melt, the sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable.

    Feck me. Your argument is "its cold outside so warming must be wrong".
    And then there's ex-poly boy Dim quoting articles he doesn't understand.

    You two are either imbeciles or trolls.
    Either way, not worth bothering with.

    Strange coincidence that as the sun goes quiet the temperatures get progressively colder.

    Thank you.
    I'd like to say the same to you, but in all honesty I can't since your contributions have been complete crap.

    On nonstationarity and antipersistency in global temperature series - K[]rner - 2002 - Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres (1984–2012) - Wiley Online Library

    Keywords:

    atmospheric temperature;
    solar irradiance;
    time series;
    nonstationarity;
    antipersistency

    [1] Statistical analysis is carried out for satellite-based global daily tropospheric and stratospheric temperature anomaly and solar irradiance data sets. Behavior of the series appears to be nonstationary with stationary daily increments. Estimating long-range dependence between the increments reveals a remarkable difference between the two temperature series. Global average tropospheric temperature anomaly behaves similarly to the solar irradiance anomaly. Their daily increments show antipersistency for scales longer than 2 months. The property points at a cumulative negative feedback in the Earth climate system governing the tropospheric variability during the last 22 years. The result emphasizes a dominating role of the solar irradiance variability in variations of the tropospheric temperature and gives no support to the theory of anthropogenic climate change. The global average stratospheric temperature anomaly proceeds like a 1-dim random walk at least up to 11 years, allowing good presentation by means of the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models for monthly series.
