I must apologize for increasing the Earth's temperature. Once Spring comes, I'll cut back.
Wood is not fossil fuel and burning it has little effect on the climate....

I burn those bags you get from the supermarket. They burn up real easy and they're free!

Using "Notalotofpeopleknowthat " and you expect people to take you seriously.
And you expect a politician to fix this for you?

The people reporting on the temps are the same people that predicted a 95% probability that Hillary wins.

Two satellite datasets agree: The Pause lives on: ‘No warming for the last 18 years’

RSS Confirm 2016 Is Tied With 1998 As Warmest Year

the margin of error is 0.1C, so statistically 2016 is tied with 1998 as the warmest year in the satellite record. The fact that there has been no warming for the last 18 years is a massive blow to the credibility of climate science.

Do you have a peer-reviewed paper on this analysis that we can look at?

Haha, I don't gnash my teeth at all. I am perfectly fine with the findings of the American Geophysical Union, the Nation Academy of Science, the Physical Society, the US National Research Council, The Royal Society of the UK, and many other professional science organizations, all of which concur with the position that humans have impacted global climate.

Really, the AGW ship has sailed and those who are still complaining are looking kind of lame with their whining. Kind of like those who still think the earth is flat.

No, of course he doesn't....

Richard Lindzen is one of the approximately 3 percent of climate scientists who believe the human influence on global warming is relatively small (though Lindzen is now retired, no longer doing scientific research). More importantly, he's been wrong about nearly every major climate argument he's made over the past two decades. Lindzen is arguably the climate scientist who's been the wrongest, longest.

That ship actually sank some time ago.

I've no idea what you are talking about. But I'll make a guess since you asked.

Your topic simply states this is the 3rd hottest year in potentially 150 years of weather reporting. I believe you attempt, to imply this means that
  • Global warming exists based on a NY Times article.
  • That humans are responsible for this global warming.
Why didn't you just state that if this is what you believe? However I'll point out this is hardly the scientific method. But it's exactly a parroting of the social theme of the day pumped out constantly by the MSM.

Is this what you were looking for? Because it's hardly anything more than that.

Why is the earth heating the last 100 years?
It won't change many habits, and certainly not stop the couple of billion people working towards a first world lifestyle.

Imagine another billion refrigerators and air conditioners.

If the AGW crowd really wanted to help save the planet, they'd call for severe immigration limits. The problem is that out of the two PC topics, helping immigrants trumps saving the planet.

Go ahead and push for a tax that will punish the poor while accomplishing nothing.
