WUWT:An updated list of at least 29 excuses for the 18 year ‘pause’ in global warming

Ya call that a list?
Where’s George Bush?
I also liked from the comments. “The dog ate my global warming”.
Part of the problem is that the 6:00 PM TV sound bite watcher has been so brainwashed over the last couple of decades that it will take the same amount of time to put this huge scam to rest. And by that time the people control freaks will be on to some other scam.
Many people don’t know the source of the warmists’ highly successful ‘the science is settled’ campaign. i.e., don’t worry about facts, just create your own reality.
This document is interesting – note the date – 2006. Also note that the quotation marks around ‘facts’ are in the original.
TREATING CLIMATE CHANGE AS BEYOND ARGUMENT
“Much of the noise in the climate change discourse comes from argument and counter-argument, and it is our recommendation that, at least for popular communications, interested agencies now need to treat the argument as having been won. This means simply behaving as if climate change exists and is real, and that
individual actions are effective. This must be done by stepping away from the ‘advocates debate’ described earlier, rather than by stating and re-stating these things as fact.
The ‘facts’ need to be treated as being so taken-for-granted that they need not be spoken. The certainty of the Government’s new climate-change slogan – ‘Together this generation will tackle climate change’ (Defra 2006) – gives an example of this approach. It constructs, rather than claims, its own factuality.”

“Where’s George Bush?” Jamie
The worm has turned, but nobody noticed. Hillary praised GW for his Aids work in Africa (She said it made her proud to be an American) The Democrat think-tanks must have realized that demonization has hit a brick wall and nobody cares. Hillary has hit a new reset button. Next thing they will bring back smoking parlors & celebrate traditional Marriage. drill baby drill! F&&K AGW..Seal the Border!
Republicans better wake up or they will end up with another “Stuck on Stupid” McCain!
After some research to find out what causes climate change. . .
Two primary drivers of average global temperature have been identified. A simple equation, using only them, very accurately explains the reported up and down measurements since before 1900. The coefficient of determination, R2>0.9 (correlation coefficient = 0.95). The equation provides credible estimates back to the low temperatures of the Little Ice Age (1610). The current trend is down.
R2 = 0.9049 considering only sunspots and ocean cycles.
R2 = 0.9061 considering sunspots, ocean cycles and CO2 change.
The tiny difference in R2, whether considering CO2 or not, corroborates that CO2 change has no significant effect on climate.
The coefficients of determination are a measure of how accurately the calculated average global temperatures compare with measured. R2 > 0.9 is very accurate.
The calculations use data since before 1900 which are official, accepted as valid and are publicly available.
Solar cycle duration or magnitude, considered separately, fail to correlate but their combination, expressed as the time-integral of solar cycle anomalies, gives excellent correlation. A solar cycle anomaly is the difference between the sunspot number for a year and an average sunspot number for many years.
Everything not explicitly considered (such as the 0.09 K s.d. random uncertainty in reported annual measured temperature anomalies, aerosols, CO2, other non-condensing ghg, volcanoes, ice change, etc.) must find room in the unexplained 9.51%.
The method, equation, data sources, history (hind cast to 1610) and predictions (to 2037) are provided at http://agwunveiled.blogspot.com and references.
What? No 97% CONSENSUS???
While I’d normally be on board with your theory Dan, your failure to weave “paradigm shift” into your dialogue to me, just negates the whole thing.
The climate thieves lose more of an audience for their lies every year.
Most governments after billion dollar boondoogles are waking up as well to this Socialist money transfer scam.Instigated by the inept corrupt UN.
the comments vary. some things that I consider facts are, climate models are not accurate. the planet has been cooling. CO2 is not a pollutant. CO2 is not a greenhouse gas. if CO2 levels are too low we will die. living, air breathing beings produce CO2, all of them. we have to stop accepting non-science as science.
30. We never knew or cared about the climate. That was never the point – power and money was. Now we’re all rich/tenured/famous/cool, and can say “we must put a price on carbon” with a straight face, so now, what difference does it make? Ha ha we win; tag you’re it.
It is not a theory. It is a calculation. The calculations use data since before 1900 which are official, accepted as valid and are publicly available.
CO2 is called a greenhouse gas because it absorbs electromagnetic radiation (EMR) at wavelengths 14-16 microns (a small part of the total EMR being emitted from earth surface; nearly all in the range 5-50 microns). CO2 has no significant effect on average global temperature because the absorbed energy (most of the EMR is absorbed by water vapor) is mostly immediately (in less than 0.1 microsecond) thermalized heating the air close (90% within less than 200 meters) to the surface which then rises in plumes that soaring birds and sail planes know about. The only effect that added CO2 has is to cause the absorption/thermalization take place slightly closer to the emitting surface.
