Hold on! Al Gore promised us that our Minnesota climate would be more like southern Illinois by 2010. Still waiting!
I grew up in Minnesota and I know for a fact that winters have not been as severe there as they were when I was young (notwithstanding this cold week). When I was a kid you would never have seen an opossum in Minnesota - everyone knew it was too cold and you'd have to go somewhere like, yes Illinois, to see one. Last time I was in Minnesota there were roadkill possums everywhere.
U.S. greenhouse gas emissions totaled 6,870 million metric tons (15.1 trillion pounds) of carbon dioxide equivalents. This total represents a 7 percent increase since 1990 but a 7 percent decrease since 2005...sounds like a wash to me.
......................... and from 2000 there has been a 10% decrease.
And so, if the culprit is man-made CO2 to all the ills that the left perceives, why have temperatures not fallen?
And because they have not fallen in response a reduction in man-made CO2, why in the world would you support MORE CO2 REDUCTION, when it has not worked for the last 18 years?
Perhaps........................................ just perhaps, the notion of man-made CO2 causing warming is incorrect. Just as in the Depression, when CO2 output fell 60%, there was an INCREASE IN TEMPS.
Now if none of this is making sense to you, you are right. It appears, as with a number of other inconsistencies, that the premise of man-made global warming is not correct.
Yeah these arguments are so foolish I feel sad for these folks. Course they see Trump say nonsense like this, and think "Oh hey, hes smart, I should repeat this!".
Yeah. no. no you should not.
Well, they don't have to believe in climate change is happening, they just have to adapt to it.
So in other words, you believe in "man made climate change" simply because it has to be true, and ignore the indisputable data that shows otherwise.
i.e. Demonstration of that which you make accusation.
If you write me an 1800 word essay on why an openness to learning and pursuit of self study - mitigated by logically constructed controls against bias - is vital to the acquisition of accurate knowledge then I will answer your previous question. If you want me to waste time and effort answering a question that you are then just going to ignore, only to post the exact same (most likely copy pasted) question a day later, you should be ready to waste at least as much of your own time in order to get said answer.

What a waste of bandwidth. The long-term trends are so slow, and so obfuscated by politics and people gullible to twisted scientific facts, that we will still be debating this 50 years from now, as we are battling (by then perfectly normal) category 6 and 7 hurricanes.

Where do you get this data and does it include all CO2 or just man made?
There is brutal heat in Australia at the moment. It is called GLOBAL warming for a reason, it refers the slow average temperature increase around the globe, not regional cold or heat waves.
The polar vortex is supposed to stay at the north pole but dwindling sea ice (from climate change) has caused the vortex to split in three places, and that's why it's cold down here. Polar vortex splits like this will become more common as climate change worsens.
That's right. In fact it substantially warmer in Alaska this week than it is in Chicago. But people in the Midwest think, it's cold here so it must be cold everywhere.
