    Excessive warming was not predicted by 2018. Personally, I have my doubts that we'll reach the 3C/century rates of warming. What if I'm wrong and the experts end up being right though?

    Good point. I forgot to add...

    5. Higher latitudes (especially in the NH) would warm faster than lower latitudes.

    Can you give me specifics about this claim because I don't know what you're talking about?

    I forgot to mention...I got 108 degrees of global cooling one day last summer. Sadly, I've only received 3.5" of global warming this winter.

    I get your point - you can't make Ms. Figueres' inconvenient fit of "progressive" candor go away so you're reduced to climbing down into your little sandbox and spewing ad homs in my direction.

    Congratulations, you lose! :beer:

    I realize that facts aren't your thing, Commissar Climate Change, but Christiana Figueres is not a "phantom socialist". Her official website, which is linked back and forth to her Wiki page, inconveniently (for you) mentions that she is a member of the Costa Rican National Liberation Party (PLN), which just so happens to be a member of the Socialist International:

    http://www.socialistinternational.org/viewArticle.cfm?ArticlePageID=931

    What a surprise to find this Austrian School Libertarian yammering about 'changing/transforming the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years'! :lol:

    People don't complain about global warming because its too hot in the city but because of global consequences of rapid temperature increase.

    You think climate scientists who have been doing this for decades are stupid and have been ignoring an obvious heat island effect? Actually they have studied it closely and found that the heat island effect barely budges their calculations.

    Like all the flat-earthers, you make up facts to suit your fantasies. If you know better than those who have studied the subject, publish - and get torn apart.

    The Seine may overflow. First thing the warmists claim for the cause is AGW.

    I am not is disagreement with those who know something about it, as you 'd know if you read anything relevant.

    Agreed but my biggest complain is skewed data and in many cases exposed manipulated of algorithm in several computer climate models.. There will never be any honesty in something this potentially profitable.

    NPR this morning. Of course you have to call people liars because the warmists make themselves look like idiots.

    Fundamentalists are very odd. They should stick to Genesis and learning which is elbow, which arse, not bother the world as if they were educated scientists.

    The only fundamentalists I see here are those tied to the CO2 centric AGW agenda that ignore all other inconvenient science resorting to calling them heretics in league with the devil.

    If true we have been in a warm era. Enjoy it. "Normal" for Earth is an ice age era. We are very fortunate to exist in this brief but enjoyable warmish period.

    "But in fact there have been many ice ages, most of them long before humans made their first appearance. And the familiar picture of an ice age is of a comparatively mild one: others were so severe that the entire Earth froze over, for tens or even hundreds of millions of years.

    In fact, the planet seems to have three main settings: “greenhouse”, when tropical temperatures extend to the poles and there are no ice sheets at all; “icehouse”, when there is some permanent ice, although its extent varies greatly; and “snowball”, in which the planet’s entire surface is frozen over".

    When I was a kid the Iceball Theory was popular, just like Climate Change/AGW is now popular in pop climate science, and we were all afraid we were going to freeze to death.
    I vaguely remember a play on TV about this that really scared me as a kid -- I guess somebody who was a pied piper like Al Gore must have wrote it.
