Greenland’s Melting Ice Nears a ‘Tipping Point,’

By your own statement (#278) if we continue as we are warming will only be 1.0C by 2100. I doubt we'll even warm that much.

Your posting sattelite data, and even using that, we're at least 2 deg C. Temperature averages (actual measurements) are more reliable.

Extend that line - and you get about 0.8 to 1 deg C over 40 years. That would be between 2.5 deg C and 3 deg C by 2100.

As SD pointed out, warming since 2000 = 0.1C per decade = 1.0C per century. I suspect it will be even less.

I notice how you cut out my comment. Nice try!

The global temperature is already around 1C above pre-industrial levels; another century of warming at 0.1C per decade would make it 2C.

Irrelevant.

They say what Tim likes, so they are certainly legitimate.

They must have just forgotten to put their name and address on the website.

Definitely not a Russian front site. No way. I mean...it looks totally above board.

Welcome to Deniers for Hire, where we debunk anti-science propaganda and expose the activists who produce it. For far too long, industry-funded NGOs, junk scientists and crusaders posing as journalists have lied to consumers about biotechnology, medicine and energy to advance their political agendas.

Union of Concerned Scientists – Deniers For Hire
 
In cheerier news, it looks like ITN and his sock are forever banned finally.

No more fake fallacies, no more hearing about how ‘we cant measure the temperature of the earth’, no more hearing about how all the scientists in the world dont understand the laws of thermodynamics and the Stefan Boltzmann law....

The Hadcrut4 temps are ~.88 C so far, but the rate of warming has slowed so it will likely be ~1.9 C by 2100, assuming we do not make additional improvements.

That's the title of the page. They are bashing UCS. Are you saying that the page is controlled by "Deniers For Hire"?

I don't bother with anonymous junk on the web. Seems that site qualifies as anonymous junk.

Actually, I believe you added that line after I copied your post. Doesn't matter. It's still wrong.

Still within the Paris goal without changing anything. And as I said earlier, we're in for flat or declining temperatures for a lengthy period anyway.

Look at the slowing!

Please explain if 98 out of a 100 scientists think its happening thats 98%, please explain your mathematics.

And when were 98 % of scientists ever asked their opinion one way or another ?

Sigh. No, that is not within the Paris goal. The Paris goal is to limit warming to less than 2C overall, not by 2100. If the global temperature is 2C above pre-industrial temperatures and still rising in 2100, then we have not met the Paris goal.

And no, there is not evidence whatsoever that the rise in global temperature is slowing. That is simply wishful thinking on your part.

Playing fast and loose with the data. In the last 5 years, there has even been one month with anything below .6485. The warming is accelerating. Better factor that in Professor Longview.

You do understand that warmest and warming are two very different things, right?
Stating that no month in the last 5 years has been below .6485 is irrelevant to acceleration.

But there is evidence the temperature was already 2 degrees higher in the past. The world continues... The sky didn't fall...

Not only that, but it would be the maximum temperatures that we would need to worry about. Not the average.

Slowing since 2000.
