1998 Revisited

To help support Climate Denial Crock of the Week

One of the enduring myths of climate denialism is that global warming
stopped sometime in the last decade. I see it in the blaring headlines of pseudoscience websites, in comments on my videos, even some of our most distinguished journalists have been taken in.

I love your clips greenman. Just out of curiousity, is there any way in which we could measure el ninos/la ninas going back hundreds of years. If we have what do they say. If not, would it be possible that changes in the ELSO (el nino osciliation) could be causing the warming as opposed to CO2, or the chance that maybe increased CO2 triggers bigger el ninos. Just something I want to throw out there. Keep up the good work!!!

@metsfreak4life

oscillations are just that - oscillations. they go up and come down. there is evidence that ocean heat is increased, so each el nino has a bigger sink to draw on.

instrumental records uniformly show warming over the last 150 years, and reconstructions are pretty clear that temps are higher now than they have been in 2000 years or so.

We know why temps have varied in the past, and we know none of those drivers are now active, leaving greenhouse gases as the only answer.

@greenman3610 thanks it just would have been awesome if we could chronicle every single el nino over the last hundred of years but yes there is ample evidence what caused these warm waters in the past is most liekly not causing them now. and I expect the next el nino to occur in the fall of 2012 coinciding with what the mayans considered to be the end of the world as we know it. itll be very interesting to see what happens there and what happens years from now when skeptics finally accept AGW

@metsfreak4life

I'm not looking for quetzalcoatl to show up in 2012, but with another el nino, and potentially a peak solar cycle, it could be a hot year indeed.

Have you revised & updated this one recently, Greenman? 

[greenman3610]

@Astrostevo

not exactly, but if you take a look at some of the more recent ones, I continue to expand on more of the same developments.

@greenman3610 like fuck leaving greenhouse gases as the only answer what about the suns output. You must have invested in a solar company Mr bullshitman oh a Mr greenman

@PissedFechtmeister

I am communicating the mainstream position endorsed by every mainstream scientific group on the planet. The planet is warming unequivocally, and the evidence comes not just from human measurements,but also from changes in natural systems that are consistent with warming.

[PissedFechtmeister]

The counterargument to current global cooling is (correctly) based on people cherry picking 1998 as a starting point for their trend analysis. Yet Greenman cherry picks a few months of warmth to claim that warmING is still happening. There's been no warming trend for the past decade.
