NOAA: 2014 is shaping up as hottest year on record[W:199]

Re: NOAA: 2014 is shaping up as hottest year on record

Well, for one, those mountains aren't the same place on the globe as they were 30 years ago. The plates are moving and they may be located in a place where 40 feet to the west or south makes a difference. There's probably a whole lot more blacktop in the area than there was 30 years ago, blacktop collects and reflects heat pushing weather higher up the mountain (that's what happens when warm wind strike a mountain range). Could be your memory isn't what it used to be, Have you checked old Almanacs going back thirty years to see what actually happened?

Those mountains would have moved a maximum of 29 centimeters over the course of 30 years. You really should brush up on your plate tectonics.

Snow lines moving up in altitude, as well as tree lines, and the retreat of alpine glaciers is happening in almost all mountain ranges across the globe.
 
Re: NOAA: 2014 is shaping up as hottest year on record

Just a little something to foster debate on the forum :argue



Then we have yet one more reason, too many Americans don't believe the science


"See, I told you warmists - it's not getting any hotter, in fact temperatures have dropped slightly." say far too many clueless folks who for some reason think their personal experience is good for the whole world.

I call bull****, no way it's been warmer. I know my area it certainly hasn't.
 
Re: NOAA: 2014 is shaping up as hottest year on record

You are argung with one of the few remaining pause deniers in the warmist camp.even the hard core warmists like Trenberth and Schmidy have have given up on that one. LOL

I wonder if you can see the "trends" in this graph a little more clearly. Warming has not stopped at all.

The Oceans have continued to warm also....
Water stores an immense amount of heat compared with air. It takes more than 1000 times as much energy to heat a cubic metre of water by 1 degree Celsius as it does the same volume of air. Since the 1960s, over 90% of the excess heat due to higher greenhouse gas levels has gone into the oceans, and just 3% into warming the atmosphere (see figure 5.4 in the IPCC report (PDF)).

Globally, this means that if the oceans soak up a bit more heat energy than normal, surface air temperatures can fall even though the total heat content of the planet is rising. Conversely, if the oceans soak up less heat than usual, surface temperatures will rise rapidly.In fact, most of the year-to-year variability in surface temperatures is due to heat sloshing back and forth between the oceans and atmosphere, rather than to the planet as a whole gaining or losing heat.

The record warmth of 1998 was not due to a sudden spurt in global warming but to a very strong El Niño (see figure, right). In normal years, trade winds keep hot water piled up on the western side of the tropical Pacific.

Re: NOAA: 2014 is shaping up as hottest year on record

I've read your posts.
You haven't demonstrated much reason to trust you.

The guys who are educated and spend their professional careers on this stuff say it was warmest vs. Some anonymous dude on the net that's either too lazy or incompetent to find a link to his claim.
You only have 130 years to work with, I have thousands.
Greenland didn't get its name being snowbound. Chew on that awhile.

Well, when you look at the long term stuff, it looks worse.

Seriously? Was that with a Fahrenheit or Celsius thermometer?
Coming out of an iceage....yup it has been getting warmer,
with or without man.

Thanks for the nonsensical response. I know I could count on one, but I really am impressed you pulled all the stops out this time.

It's pretty easy to claim there has been no pause when you post a graph that stops immediately after the pause began. You do know that even the most hard core climatista scientist has admitted there has been a 15+ year pause don't you??? Here's a more up to date graph that shows the beginning of the pause, even though it does not show it completely.

Not really. The oceans are so vast that they can absorb almost limitless amounts of heat. And this is only to 2,000 meters while the ocean is many thousands of meters deeper, but the NOAA buoys only measure to 2,000 meters.

Get back to me when it can be proved that it really is AGW.
Until then it really is nonsense and politically motivated.
 
Re: NOAA: 2014 is shaping up as hottest year on record

The continuous US constitutes less than 5% of the world's surface, so what is your point??

Who was recording the world's temps back in the early 1900s?
 
Re: NOAA: 2014 is shaping up as hottest year on record

We have temperature records back to the 1900s. More importantly though, we also have various proxies that we can go back much farther with. Why would you be so arrogant to think that something has occurred to you that has not occurred to climatologists that spend their life working in their field?

Not all climatologists agree.

My point is that those methods and gauges are not accurate enough [or in enough places] to make sound judgments when were talking about such a small variance.

The vast, vast majority of climatologists do agree though.

If these proxies were so good, why did Mann and Jones dismiss tree ring proxies in the late 20th century because they did not conform to their preconceived theory that temperatures were rising. This was the source of "hide the decline" where Mann added surface temp readings onto tree ring proxies without disclosing it in his paper.
 
Re: NOAA: 2014 is shaping up as hottest year on record

The GISS average before the November data is 64.9,
So both Nov and Dec would have to come in higher for 2014 to be the hottest year in the GISS.
RSS has reported Nov 2014 as below 7 of the last 14 years.
What is interesting, is the sudden divergence between the GISS and the RSS.
 
Re: NOAA: 2014 is shaping up as hottest year on record

If Wikipedia said it, then it must be true.

I'll admit that Wiki has gotten a tiny bit better since they booted William Connolley. He deleted everything on all the Wiki climate pages that dared to be skeptical of AGW.

The entire article is sourced and footnoted.

Sure. mr . science denier.
Here's triplesuper warmist Gavin Schmidt devoting a whole paper to the pause in global warming. ( or as he euphemistically calls it - a slown-lol)
http://www.nature.com/ngeo/journal/v7/n3/full/ngeo2105.html

agin for the umptennth tiime- why are all these warmists writing articles and papers about the ein global warming if there isn't one?

Re: NOAA: 2014 is shaping up as hottest year on record

Of course it is, sourced and footnoted to support the favored theory.

It is sourced and footnoted to point out the level of consensus on AGW, that basically every major scientific society and organization on earth accepts the theory.

In the end its all neither here nor there as its not like we are going to do anything about it.
