    That's great, but what does your polluted river have to do with climate change?

    Why not? That's good to four significant figures. That will do in most cases. But actually it was Indiana and you should do some further reading on the topic, and allow knowledge to destroy one of your biases against the south.

    Your need to do some further reading on this. It is not nearly that simple.

    It's unfortunate that so many people in Africa died of malaria, because the DDT that could have been supplied to them, might have been stolen and diverted to agricultural use. Which of course would have fed more people.

    How about the 1930-40 mean? Is it unusually hot compared to that? How about compared to 10,000 years ago?

    Ok, are you saying .04 degrees makes something go from normal to unusually hot?

    You obviously only looked at the headline and didn't even read the summary.

    Democrats love climate change because it allows them to create all sorts of socialist authoritarian solutions, and cast anyone who doesn't support them as a denier who is just as evil as someone who refuses to admit that the holocaust happened.

    That statement is exactly correct. Just as correct as saying pi is exactly 3.14 or 3.14159265.

    The input of excess heat has not paused. Have you had a look at the heat content of the oceans lately?

    They feel the same to me.

    3 would actually be accurate and correct. 4 is just wrong in every sense.

    Yeah, NASA now says they oopsied, and are only 34% certain that last year was the hottest, by .01 degree fahrenheit which is much smaller than the margin of error for the calculation.

    No, it's like doing 1000 DNA tests with 95% certainty of results and then finding out they were all wrong when the chicken starts laying eggs.

    I wonder how they will feel about their lifestyles in 100 years, when they have to keep buying longer and longer snorkels just to get around in the non-tangible seawater surrounding their homes?

    Do you have any idea what a snorkel is, or how it works? Have you ever used a snorkel? If you can't understand the physics of snorkel use, how can you possibly make the judgement that anthropogenic warming is real?

  17. Re:More proof on US Senate Set To Vote On Whether Climate Change Is a Hoax · · Score: 1

    I don't see how that's relevant. Neither the analogy or the premise pertains to the story. No one has submitted a bill declaring that CC is not real. In fact the opposite has occurred.

    It most certainly can. Select the global warming option in the "more" pulldown at the top. Select Stuttgart on the map as the city, and select the range of years with the slider. Stuttgart has seen quite the cooling trend over the last 15 years, Niederstetten even more so.

    Hmmm. The data I see for Karlsruhe does not affirm your statement. I certainly see a cooling trend in the last 15 years for January. You can see it all at weatherspark.com.
