2014 was a summer sizzler: Earth's hottest on record

here is the quote from our article... its not the air over land its the blended temperature.
We all know the oceans are warming...
here is the quote...from you article above...



"Data released by NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies on Monday shows that August 2014 was the warmest August worldwide since the instrument record began more than 130 years ago.

The latest data from NASA's Global Land-Ocean Temperature index -- you can see the full record here-- showed that last month was the top-ranked August, with an anomaly of 0.70ºC above the 1951-1990 baseline temperature average."

Lol, take it up with NASA.

You're correct. I did not look at the article, because it is immaterial with regard to the question of whether anthro CO2 is affecting climate in a significant way. I just now looked at the article and I see I was entirely justified. Folks, a 0.7 deg increase (without any error limits by the way) for August is entirely meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

I am a scientist. Most of the rest of you are not. I understand that, and I accept things as they are.

These guys are real scientists as opposed to what you pretend to be.


American Physical Society

"The evidence is incontrovertible: Global warming is occurring. If no mitigating actions are taken, significant disruptions in the Earth’s physical and ecological systems, social systems, security and human health are likely to occur. We must reduce emissions of greenhouse gases beginning now." (2007)8

You are just a fool. Like Murray Salby. You still don't know that CO2 is a the world's most important greenhouse gas. The level of which largely regulates earth's temperature. One would think a "scientist" like you would know that.

These guys are scientist also.

American Meteorological Society

"It is clear from extensive scientific evidence that the dominant cause of the rapid change in climate of the past half century is human-induced increases in the amount of atmospheric greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide (CO2), chlorofluorocarbons, methane, and nitrous oxide." (2012)
 
Tom Harris, the executive director of the International Climate Science Coalition, along with Bob Carter, the head of the School of Earth Sciences at James Cook University in Australia, in a recent New York Post commentary flatly stated that“There is essentially zero evidence that carbon dioxide from humanactivities is causing catastrophic climate change.”

They noted that the Earth’s sea level is not rising in any significant fashion, “averaging about 1 millimeter per year” and that “satellites also show that a greater area of Antarctic ice exists now than any time since space-based measurements began in 1979. In other words, the ice caps aren’t melting.”
 
The self-proclaimed experts at theInternational Climate Science Coalition have today launched another fanciful flight into the realm of climate denialism and United Nations conspiracy theories.

The ICSC, headed by Tom Harris, a former Canadian energy company public relations consultant, is trying to grab media attention with a new report written by the who's who of the climate denier conspiracy bunch. The report, Climate Change Reconsidered II: Physical Science, is part of a series published by a Chicago-based front group for the oil and tobacco industries called the Heartland Institute.

I really hope mainstream media does not fall for their trickery again. After all, it is pretty well known by now that Fred Singer, the lead author on the International Climate Science Coalition's report, was an apologist for the tobacco industry long before he got into the business of denying the basic science of climate change. The other authors of the report, Bob CarterandCraig Idso, have equally shaky backgrounds when it comes to the science of climate change.

To give you an idea of just how shaky, look no further than Craig Idso. DeSmog discovered last year that Idso was getting paid a whopping $11,600 a month by the Heartland Institute - not exactly the most reputable source of information when it comes to a globally important issue like climate change.

Interestingly, the press release put out today by the ICSC makes no mention at all of the Heartland Institute's role in funding and publishing the report. Perhaps because of that nasty Unabomber billboard, even ICSC is afraid to be associated publicly with Heartland?

This report goes so far as to actually make the absurd claim that, “CO2 is 'the gas of life'. The more CO2, the more life.” Yes, and water is also vital to life until you find yourself drowning in it.

In an effort to dupe reporters into trusting these “climate experts,” this anti-science outfit even named itself the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC), mirroring the official science body, theIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

This is the same small group of people who claim a grand conspiracy by the United Nations to take over the world. This echo chamber of climate denial attempts to prop up non-experts in the hopes of grabbing a few headlines before journalists figure out they have been fooled by conmen.

The only story to be found in this latest salvo by the International Climate Science Coalition and the Heartland Institute is whether anyone in the press will actually fall for this nonsense again.

Thought I'd throw this out in the interest of "balanced coverage" of this climate issue. It is documented that there are more than four thousand scientists worldwide, including myself, whose position is that there is no evidence so far of an effect of CO2 on temperature that is outside of normal temperature variance. These scientists represent the entire political spectrum.

Be wary of attempts to associate a scientific position with crackpot political thinking. The only thing that matters in the long run is the science, not opinion polls, not name calling, just the science. When someone engages in name calling, or attempts to impugn an individuals' scientific position on the basis of politics or personality, rather than engaging in discussion of the science, ignore them; they contribute nothing of value to the discussion.

Well you must some kind of stupid then. Or just a plain ol' liar. CO2 is the earth's most important greenhouse gas and we have raised it's levels by 40%. Hansen has little to do with it as much as you want to make the argument about one person.

Again, you are a fucking lying moron.
