So you deny that there is any such thing as trend lines in statistical analysis?

Here, maybe this will help.

Reminds me of the stock market techies who use charts to invest by. Oddly, it kind of works as enough of them believe in it to make it work.


and the real players take advantage of the herd and make the real money.

they learned Pavlov's lesson and learned how to apply it.

Re: What happened to global warming ?

I suspect that recent "cooling effects" (though It's been the most consistently F'n hot summer I can remember in 45 years of life) are due to the lull in the 11 year sun cycle and massive cooling due to the polar ice caps melting.

With the Earth continuing to warm under these conditions, I hate to think what will happen when the sun cycle goes into Hot mode and the Ice gaps are gone.

any thoughts at all?

You've also never hear of statistical analysis using linear regression?

Obviously you don't. Otherwise you would disagree with cherry picking temp data starting in 98 to somehow disprove global warming.

What i provided was the long term data, showing the actual long term trend of warming. In this data anybody with eyes can see the short term variability, i.e, periods of plateau or cooling within the longer term warming trend.

its been shown that the hockey stick guy cherry picked a start point for his graph for effect as well.

No, that has not been shown at all.

Why are you guys avoiding the topic all of a sudden?

The truth appears to be debateable.

We also just exited a la nina (masks AGW) phase and are entering an el nino (is enhanced by AGW).

I just provided the facts. The data shows quite clearly that the long term trend is warming. What is debatable about that?

Re: What happened to global warming ?

GW deniers,

I am truly interested in your explanation of certain facts that need to be confronted in order to substantiate any hint that GW is not present.

If we are not experiencing GW why are the ocean temps increasing?

Not to mention, why are ocean temps increasing when the Ice caps and glaciers are disappearing and melting at alarming rates not even imaginable 5 years ago? Shouldn't the ocean be cooling if the Ice decided simply to melt on it's own?

Why are the Ice caps and glaciers melting so rapidly while the sun is in it's "cool mode"?

The sun is at it's coolest, the Ice caps are melting rapidly and the oceans continue to rise in temp. Why?

its not possible for it to fail to get warmer if CO2 increases, it did (CO2) but it did not (warm).

man made global warming is unproven IMO. I accept that you do not agree.
