“Nothing to do with hot air flowing over cold air?? I think you need to do some research/reading up on basic physical geography my friend..” -deeznuts
There it is, his whole argument. It does not address the fact that the entire global temperature has gone down, not just moving cold air around “spatially”. Where is the warm air then? Just a simple empty post complete with rhetorical question, no evidence or logic offered, then a declaration of victory. This is why you warmies are lousy debaters. You appeal to those who already agree with you, show yourself as an idiot to anybody who comes into this argument with an open mind, or skepticism.
Who are you trying to kid deeznuts? Us your yourself? You made a statement, you apparently can’t coherantly defend it.
If it is a case of cold air being forced down from the poles due to displacement by warmer air, then the global temperature would not have fallen as it has. Here is a hint, temperature is defined as average energy, it dropped. If it is what you said, the average temperature would not have dropped.
Your argument would make sense under the following conditions. If the average temperature of the earth was rising, it would still be possible for it to be bitterly cold in Saskatoon, but it would be unusually warm someplace else in the northern hemisphere. That is possible, and that is the point that the scientists you quote are making. Critical thinking is not your strong suit, is it?
Using Wackopedia as an authority at the end there was a nice touch too. Did you get that link from google scholar?
Tim: I’m sorry, I don’t quite follow your statements. What’s my whole argument? The statement “hot air travels over cold air” is a small process within the context of climate/physical geography…that’s it. Check it out for yourself.
“Weather occurs primarily due to density (temperature and moisture) differences between one place to another. These differences can occur due to the sun angle at any particular spot, which varies by latitude from the tropics. In other words, the farther from the tropics you lie, the lower the sun angle is, which causes those locations to be cooler due to the indirect sunlight.[6] The strong temperature contrast between polar and tropical air gives rise to the jet stream.[7] Weather systems in the mid-latitudes, such as extratropical cyclones, are caused by instabilities of the jet stream flow (see baroclinity).[8] Weather systems in the tropics, such as monsoons or organized thunderstorm systems, are caused by different processes”
“Surface temperature differences in turn cause pressure differences. A hot surface heats the air above it and the air expands, lowering the air pressure and its density.[14] The resulting horizontal pressure gradient accelerates the air from high to low pressure, creating wind, and Earth’s rotation then causes curvature of the flow via the Coriolis effect.[15] The simple systems thus formed can then display emergent behaviour to produce more complex systems and thus other weather phenomena. Large scale examples include the Hadley cell while a smaller scale example would be coastal breezes.”

Please show me a primary source that shows global average temperature dropping. It can drop due to modifications in our atmosphere…ie. differences from year to year in cloud cover, amount of air particles, changes in land use, changes in solar radiation, changes in the atmospheric content, and fluxuations in all the millions and millions of processes happening all over the earth.
