Global warming not slowing - it's speeding up Posted on 12 March 2014 https://skepticalscience.com/global-warming-not-slowing-its-speeding-up.html Update: Global Ocean Heat and Salt Content Data distribution figures for temperature and salinity observations, temperature and salinity anomaly fields for depths 0-2000m, heat content and steric sea level (thermosteric, halosteric, total). Temperature anomalies and heat content fields are detailed in World Ocean Heat Content and Thermosteric Sea Level change (0-2000 m), 1955-2010, pdf (8.1 MB). The same calculations have been extended to keep the fields current and include fields of salinity anomalies, and steric sea level components. Explanation of differences in heat content between published work and online values is outlined in the notes (pdf, 4.2 MB). https://www.nodc.noaa.gov/OC5/3M_HEAT_CONTENT/index.html
having been a trader I am well aware we all have filters and biases. but when we are using imperfect measurements that are being adjusted and the temperatures near cities are going up but not the ones in the country. And we are grafting instrumental measurments onto tree ring, ice core and other imperfect proxy data... which has to be standardized and homogenized to and adjusted to fit instrumental data... (basically very good guesses with large margins for error. I wonder how anyone is so sure that we are warming outside of natural variation. So I think your frogs in the pot could actually just be frogs who jumped into a pot to get govt grants and handouts.
The basic chronology (not meant to be all inclusive): CO2 models show warming the pause/hiatus occurred where did the heat go? speculation it went into ocean and they didn't realize this would occur scientist did research to prove it went into ocean Scientist baffled - several peer-reviewed papers demonstrating that heat didn't go into ocean Then new paper came out that measured water from intake of ships that is heated by engine to try and prove that the heat went into ocean Many peer-reviewed papers show that the missing heat did not go into ocean New paper comes out that adjust the shit out of the data to show that there was no pause newer paper comes out that shows there is an ongoing pause Back to where is the heat? Most of the climate change alarmist do not want to admit and can't comprehend that the models are wrong. The study that was just published that I posted earlier was written by climate change scientists/alarmists. It illustrates that there was a pause and that the models were wrong. So, there is this never ending cycle: observations prove models incorrect search for the missing heat new study adjust data to goal seek models newer study comes out showing pause and that the models wrong
Q Isle de Jean Charles, Louisiana, US The 29 remaining homes on Isle de Jean Charles in southeastern Louisiana are sinking into the Gulf of Mexico. The island, which is home to members of the Biloxi-Chitimacha-Choctaw and the United Houma Nation tribes, has already lost 98% of its land since 1955. At the start of 2016 the US government awarded Louisiana a grant of $92.6m, of which $48m was to relocate the people of Isle de Jean Charles to higher ground. The residents are in the process of deciding where to move to, with three sites billed as potential front runners. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2017/06/5-places-relocating-people-because-of-climate-change/ UQ https://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/press/press_releases_media_advisories/2016/HUDNo_16-006 Q State of Louisiana: The State of Louisiana will receive $92,629,249 in NDRC funding to support its Louisiana Strategic Adaptations for Future Environments Program (LA SAFE). LA SAFE seeks to protect coastal wetlands in and around southeast Louisiana, retrofit communities to withstand increased flooding risk, and reshape high-ground areas to maximize their use and safety. The NDRC funds will also enable a tribal community on the Isle de Jean Charles, which has experienced a 98 percent loss of land to 1955, to relocate to a resilient and historically-contextual community.

Have you looked at a map to see the location of Isle de Jean Charles? Do you think that it can simply be do to erosion? That is not a place that anyone should live. The situation at Isle de Jean Charles has nothing to do with carbon based fuels and CO2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_de_Jean_Charles,_Louisiana Until 1953, when the road that connects the island to the mainland was built, the tribe could only commute inland by boat. Due to the road traveling through open waters, it was extremely susceptible to flooding and erosion, and frequently became uncrossable. In the 1940s, companies began offshore oil drilling projects and dredging near the island, which contributed to the erosion of the island and island road.[11] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coastal_erosion_in_Louisiana Coastal Erosion in Louisiana is the process of steady depletion of wetlands along the state's coastline in marshes, swamps, and barrier islands, particularly affecting the alluvial basin surrounding the mouth of the Mississippi River at the foot of the Gulf of Mexico on the Eastern half of the state's coast. In the last century, Southeast Louisiana has lost a large portion of its wetlands and is expected to lose more in the coming years, with some estimates claiming wetland losses equivalent to up to 30 football fields per day. One consequence of coastal erosion is an increased vulnerability to hurricane storm surges, which affects the New Orleans metropolitan area and other communities in the region. The state has outlined a comprehensive master plan for coastal restoration and has begun to implement various restoration projects such as fresh water diversions, however certain zones will have to be prioritized and targeted for restoration efforts, as it is unlikely that all depleted wetlands can be rehabilitated. The process of coastal erosion is the result of various factors, particularly the blockage of traditionally occurring deposits of fresh water and silt from the river caused by man-made levees which have been built up and down most of the river over the last century, which now impede the river's ability to replenish its southernmost alluvial plains which are constantly dependent on the infusion of the river's once plentiful deposits which usually occurred during annual high stage floods in the springtime, the kind of which the river-levees now serve to buffer against for the protection of residents, livestock, and property residing in regions adjacent to the river throughout the Mississippi River valley. The deterioration results in the death of fresh and brackish water plants historically part of the ecosystem, which are not only a vital feature of the wetlands' topography, but also serve to capture silt, and thus are needed to build up and sustain marsh structures. As fresh and brackish water plant habitats recede, salt water from the Gulf of Mexico further encroaches, killing off more non-saltwater plants, thus further eroding pre-existing mud formations which these plants had once supported. Other factors exacerbating coastal erosion in Southeast Louisiana include the presence of canals and navigational routes dug though marshes and swamps, often to accommodate logistical needs of the petrochemical industry, as well as the previous practice of logging, all of which have allowed the incursion of saltwater (saline) from the Gulf into previously fresh and brackish water plant habitats. While land subsidence is dominated by Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA),[1][2] sediment compression is next factor further compounding the problem.[3] Sea-level rise attributed to global warming, though not a root cause, is also lately more often considered a contributing factor.
We Just Passed Prince Charles’s 96-Month Deadline to Save The World From ‘Ecosystem Collapse’ Posted By Michael Bastasch On 10:05 AM 07/09/2017 In | No Comments Prince Charles warned in July 2009 humanity had only 96 months to save the world from “irretrievable climate and ecosystem collapse, and all that goes with it” caused by unchecked consumerism. Saturday marked the 96-month deadline the Prince of Wales set, meaning that, according to Charles, humanity has run out of time to avert “an environmental crisis.” “We face the dual challenges of a world view and an economic system that seem to have enormous shortcomings, together with an environmental crisis – including that of climate change – which threatens to engulf us all,” Charles said in a 2009 speech at St. James’s Palace in London. Charles is a fervent environmentalist and critic of capitalism, which he sees as “an enormous cost to the Earth.” In his 2009 speech, Charles claimed humanity needed “coherent financial incentives and disincentives” to to avoid environmental catastrophe. The prince has argued global warming has already impacted society, claiming man-made warming was the “root cause” of the Syrian civil war. He also backed the Paris agreement on climate change that U.S. President Donald Trump vowed to exit in the coming years. Ironically, Charles’s calls to check consumerism have been undermined by his own lavish lifestyle. His summer residence in Scotland, for example, is the sprawling 53,000-acre estate of Birkhall where he’s attended by dozens of servants. “Despite his attack on the materialism of the modern age, the Prince has been criticised for his own indulgences, including dozens of staff to run his homes and hundreds of thousands of pounds spent traveling around the world. While his private estates on the Duchy of Cornwall generate record profits his tax bill was lower than the year before,” the UK Independent noted in 2009. Regardless, Charles has joined the ranks of prophets of doom who set deadlines to avert a global crisis. “But for all its achievements, our consumerist society comes at an enormous cost to the Earth, and we must face up to the fact that the Earth cannot afford to support it,” Charles said in his 2009 speech. “Just as our banking sector is struggling with its debts – and paradoxically also facing calls for a return to so-called ‘old-fashioned’, traditional banking – so Nature’s life-support systems are failing to cope with the debts we have built up there too,” he said. “If we don’t face up to this, then Nature, the biggest bank of all, could go bust. And no amount of quantitative easing will revive it,” Charles said, predicting humanity only had 96 months to avert catastrophe.
