So Al Gore's efforts and Gordon Campbell's global warming tax on gas in BC is working.

The planet is being saved .... now let's get back to those whales.

Actually, “An anomaly is any occurrence or object that is strange, unusual, or unique. It can also mean a discrepancy or deviation from an established rule, trend, or pattern.” (Wikipedia)

Seems that the graph is showing as though things are getting back to normal as opposed to anomaly.

Howeveh there is that thing about newspeak diktat from the ministry of truth.

It does also illustrate that all the talk about how the temperature has been lower since '98 is misleading since the gradual rise continued after '98 was spiked because of the el nino. So we'll see if the trend continues within a few years after the '10 nino. I'm sure the trend of global warmenists being annoying and ignorant will continue upwards in any case.

An Inconvenient Graph...

Been watching this every day .... but do not expect any zealots to change ....

This must be why I still have my parka hanging in the back door closet and the dog's heated water dish is still plugged in.

A wee wager MSM will ignore this.

The change in temperature is minuscule.
There may be a trend there but only a fool would make anything of it.
The politicisation of climate research is a disaster.

Real scientists may have to develop a new term for such phenomena like 'weather'.....

I dont believe for a minute that global temperatures can even be measured. The globe is a very big area, and how can a few staggered weather stations possibly measure temperature changes at all accurately!!!

The 1998 El Nino is such an anomaly as to suggest problems with the data itself.
Man-made problems, I suspect.

Staggered, I like it.
"We shot all the remote temperature stations that didn't register an increase because they were "staggering".

No doubt the Urban Heat Island temperature stations were especially hot during 1998 because of all the airconditioner heat exchangers they were located next to.
LOL

The tax monies are so desirous that even a fraud of such Climate hooey has to be defended like crack addicts their stash.
Even politicians aren't this stupid.
This was to get people to give up private transportation. By hook or crook Politicians can't get rid of their own tax addiction. Even if they lie.

I heard 'Pretty Boy Roy' Romanow state we were headed for doom if we don't act right away on green stuff.
NDP going for re-cycling on grain bags as their only platform in the Sask. election?

Remember the Ejakohforgetit volcano? Then we had a pitiful summer in Canada, wildfires in Russia, followed by a brutal winter, all at the same latitude. These couldn't possibly be related.

Nah, all this cooling proves Global Warming.

Don't forget that Google is now on-board to help fight those nasty "deniers". Good luck finding accurate search results on politicized science in the near future.

It if doesn't list falsification criteria, it ain't science. If they appeal to a higher power (ie a consensus that can't actually be proven) it's a religion.

The Liberals still believe in Global warming, it's in their red book along with cap and trade for carbon.

New to the blog and enjoying the different perspective. I would suggest that this graph is cherry-picking data and this video explains why:

Let me know when you get around to argue about the "scandal" that is Climate Gate and how Richard A. Muller is going to shed light on things so that I can burst yet another bubble. I know, I'm such a downer. Still, I do enjoy the perspective.

Yes Climategate cast nary an aspersion on the motivations and biases of human beings engaged in work that is very important unless it isn't important whatsoever if the data fail to uphold the heroic end-times narrative. If only that data still existed!

I enjoyed your perspective even more :)

The Liberals still believe in Global warming

So does Harper, tranio...so does Harper.

I work with people who steadfastly cling to the warmist religion, although they've changed to the "climate change" mantra. And it's all our fault. I got into a Facebook discussion with one that included links to all sorts of resources, including a paper that proves CO2 can't do what's being claimed of it, and it gets ignored, so you now how useful that effort will be. Because, you know, the science is settled, and all.

Later springs and earlier freezes? Not relevant. That's just weather.
