Obama Continues Global Warming Agenda

I understand that. (They do about as much thinking as I did when at a college party, having had a few too many, and a cute... or ugly... chick was caressing my thigh.) But I wonder how they react when their license plate registration jumps by $300/year for "carbon tax"... especially when they learn where their $300 ends up. I'm sure a few of them will go "Yeah man, that's righteous"... fantasizing that the tax money will go to the poor in those countries they imagine were "victims of greedy American capitalists"... but most of them will go, "WTF"?
That's the same Dick who predicted a Romney landslide win.

Some climate scientists, such as Professor Phil Jones, director of the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, last week dismissed the significance of the plateau, saying that 15 or 16 years is too short a period from which to draw conclusions.
Others disagreed. Professor Judith Curry, who is the head of the climate science department at Americaâs prestigious Georgia Tech university, told The Mail on Sunday that it was clear that the computer models used to predict future warming were âdeeply flawedâ.
Even Prof Jones admitted that he and his colleagues did not understand the impact of ânatural variabilityâ â factors such as long-term ocean temperature cycles and changes in the output of the sun. However, he said he was still convinced that the current decade would end up significantly warmer than the previous two.

DailyMail, CNSNews ..you don't get facts in the way of a good circlejerk!
"Firstly, the Met Office has not issued a report on this issue. We can only assume the article is referring to the completion of work to update the HadCRUT4 global temperature dataset compiled by ourselves and the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit.
We announced that this work was going on in March and it was finished this week. You can see the HadCRUT4 website here."

It is the second article Mr Rose has written which contains some misleading information, after he wrote an article earlier this year on the same theme.
As weâve stressed before, choosing a starting or end point on short-term scales can be very misleading. Climate change can only be detected from multi-decadal timescales due to the inherent variability in the climate system. If you use a longer period from HadCRUT4 the trend looks very different. For example, 1979 to 2011 shows 0.16°C/decade (or 0.15°C/decade in the NCDC dataset, 0.16°C/decade in GISS). Looking at successive decades over this period, each decade was warmer than the previous â so the 1990s were warmer than the 1980s, and the 2000s were warmer than both. Eight of the top ten warmest years have occurred in the last decade.

this great stuff ... we now have the climate guys... the very guys who rely on a very short term chart complaining when someone takes a shorter term chart.
here is a long term chart... and you can read what it shows for yourself.
