Never fear- We will now be faced with the prospect of "global cooling". The same "global warming" loons will claim that man made CO2 is causing the cooling and will seek the usual "remedies":
To be fair, it says the the United States is in a cooling trend, but not the world. US cooling is not global cooling, and global temperatures have at best been staying mostly flat, and at worst rising slowly.
So yeah, the PLANET is not cooling. So this thread is absolutely awful. I'm hoping by pointing this out, we can all let this thread die.
Assuming that this temp plotting for just the past 10 years and only the past 10 years is correct, it should be pointed out that the United States does not represent the entire globe so therefore it is bunk. FYI, the USA takes up less than 2% of the total land and water mass on the planet. You cannot lump the US and the globe in the same mix. Sorry.

Hmm, since the US is cooling, and is a part of the planet, and global temperatures are staying mostly flat, and the worst rise is slow (all of this your admission), we can safely conclude that the planet is not warming either.
Seems like we should let the referenced post die instead.......to be fair, that is.
So, according to climate-change denier Anthony Watts, climate change isn't happening.
That is all.
I'm not familiar with Anthony Watts. Does he say the climate isn't changing or that man isn't causing the change? Just curious.
