And that's not why they adjusted the temps of some stations......for the umpteenth time. They did it to make the data more accurate. Do you ever read anything other than right wing propaganda? Do facts even matter to you? "Having worked with many of the scientists in question, I can say with certainty that there is no grand conspiracy to artificially warm the earth; rather, scientists are doing their best to interpret large datasets with numerous biases such as station moves, instrument changes, time of observation changes, urban heat island biases, and other so-called inhomogenities that have occurred over the last 150 years. Their methods may not be perfect, and are certainly not immune from critical analysis, but that critical analysis should start out from a position of assuming good faith and with an understanding of what exactly has been done." Judith Curry
There is no such person as Steve Goddard. That should tell anyone with a brain what he is all about. Of course, that still leaves you clueless.
So the bottom line is that the earth continues to gain heat at rapid pace and without pause. 90% of the earth's heat is in the oceans. And the heat of the ocean largely controls the climate and sea levels will rise about three feet in a hundred years.
There is no such person as 'futurecurrents'. I guess that should tell anyone with a brain what you're all about.
And the reason the fraud/whore "Steven Goddard" chose that name? Any guesses? Are the denier dummies smart enough to realize why? (rhetorical question, of course they are not) http://www.giss.nasa.gov/
The oceans have been gaining heat for thousands of years and will continue to do so until the next ice age starts. The process is not at all alarming. In fact, as I showed, it's stunningly slow. Whoa, this is quite a divergence from the usual cant that the climate is controlled by CO2! More of us would believe this estimate except that it came from the same people who blew the pause.
No, they have NOT been warming for thousands of years. They have been cooling - along with atmosphere - for the last thousand years until about 150 years ago when man's 40% increase in the important greenhouse gas caused temps to suddenly rise. One can clearly see this man made global warming on the following chart... And there is/was no pause in the heat gain of earth. At all. Zero. None. You really seem hung up on this "pause", like it's all you have. Like a typical deluded, ignorant AGW-denying righty.
Just how many times have the moderators told Futurecurrents to stop continually reposting this chart. He has posted it over 200 times.
