I've come to the conclusion however that you're right. On the internet anyone from a 12 year old delinquent with a computer. To those with all of the best qualities of human behavior. Each can have the same say. Repetitive statements via posting of information so fundamentally, fatally flawed. As to lead you to believe that they are an uneducated 12 year old. Who takes comic relief from wasting your energy and time. Warrants blocking. As such I've followed your actions. Unfortunately, some posters are impervious to killfiles.

olofscience 420 #136 January 12, 2022 If only there was a way to take temperatures all over the world, subtract them from a 30-year average temperature (say, 1951-1980) then average the differences, then plot it per year! Then we don't have to argue about a couple of weather events. But that's impossible, because the troll can't handle numbers... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed, however the dire predictions have failed to materialize. In some cases, the opposite of what was predicted has happened.

You can ignore the rest of the media and just go straight to NASA or the NOAA's webpages. But please ignore brent's "re-interpretation" of the NOAA's articles. They're readable enough and you don't need him to break it down for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, there's not much doubt that the droughts and fires are caused by that slight rise in temperatures. I mean, get the temps in the far north a degree above freezing and the permafrost melts. And then burns. Which is happening in Russia right now. Or get the temperature up two degrees (which is about where we are now) and exactly the same rainfall that gives you just enough water now is not enough, due to snows melting earlier and water evaporating from the ground.

Except that is not what is actually happening “On average, total annual precipitation has increased over land areas in the United States and worldwide (see Figures 1 and 2).

They are a part of nature; as are, in fact, pandemics. But consider -- the tide is small, right? Yet its impact on some places is huge, simply because of the geography (think of tidal flats, or the Bay of Fundy). Same thing for a small change in temperature. And that's just the obvious. The more insidious changes are the ones that you don't think about, because "they've always been there." Things like the Antarctic ice sheet. No, it's not all going to melt next year, or even by 2050. But in parts, once some of it starts to melt, some of the ice sheets will disappear -- the sheets on land, not the shelves that are already in the water. That's why all the worry about the Thwaites glacier. Kind of like a glass of water -- once you start tipping it, once it reaches a certain point, it's going over unless you catch it, and even then some water is spilled. We don't have hold of this glass, and we're tipping it. Wendy P. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

olofscience 420 #150 January 14, 2022 Also from the source link: Quote Gridcells lacking sufficient sampling that month are left out of the averaging There's no way to check their calculations because they don't show it - but it already seems some data was left out. It's also telling that their graphs start at 2015 now, because 2016 was such a hot year that it masks the warming trend. What happened to 1998? Not that he would know how to answer these questions (barely knowing how to put two numbers together) so checking this source's calculations is wayyyy off his ability scale.
