12th warmest February on NASA's 130-year Northern Hemisphere Record
 
12th warmest February on NASA's 130-year Northern Hemisphere Record


In the real world,
outside the fossil fuel industry's spin and lies,
global mean surface temperatures continue to rise.
Please see:

These hemispherically averaged temperature data come from NASA,
http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/tabledata/NH.Ts.txt
They represent the results of tens of millions of readings
taken at thousands of stations covering the lands of the Northern
Hemisphere over the last 130 years. Yes, the data are corrected
for the urban heat island effect.

The Mean February temperature over the last 130 years is 14.000 C.
The Variance is 0.32528.
The Standard Deviation is 0.5703.

Confidence of nonzero correlation = approximately
0.999999999999999999999 (21 nines), which is darn close to 100%!

The month of February in the year 2009,

The most recent 149 continuous months, or 12 years and 5 months,
on this NH.Ts.txt data set are all above the 1951-1980
data set norm of 14 C.
There are 1550 months of data on this data set:
-- 790 of them are at or above the norm.
-- 760 of them are below the norm.
This run of 149 months above the norm is the result of a warming
world. It is too large to occur by chance at any reasonable level
of confidence. A major volcano eruption, thermonuclear war, or
meteor impact could stop this warming trend for a couple of years,
otherwise expect it to continue.

February 2009 (in the Northern Hemisphere) is cooler than February
1981. No warming in 28 years (this is nearly equal to Roger's magical
30 years to establish a climate trend.

But wait. There is more. No significant increase in the February
Northern Hemisphere average global temperature, since 1935.

That is 74 years with no significant global warming. When is this CO2
and methane going to start having some effect?

Roger, are you brave enough to post the data for the Southern
Hemisphere. Only posting the Northern Hemisphere data is cherry-
picking.

12th warmest February on NASA's 130-year Northern HemisphereRecord
 
Hmmm 12th warmest in the last 130 years? Shoul I be worried?

Nope ! Not at all.

Two things:

First, assuming that their info is correct, and I have some doubt,
12th warmest is not saying much.

Second, The last 130 years??? That is a very very short time span
when you are discussing Paleoclimatology. It's like yesterday. Or not
even that much. More like a few hours ago.

Nope! Mr. Right gets it wrong, even when he

Can't you calculate the numbers for the Southern

Yet, you fossil fools conclude that there
is a current cooling trend from less than
a decade of data. So then, 8 years is
enough for a fossil fool to claim a cooling
trend, but 130 years is not enough for
mainstream science to conclude a warming
trend. LOL!

Yet, you fossil fools conclude that there
is a current cooling trend from less than
a decade of data. So then, 8 years is
enough for a fossil fool to claim a cooling
trend, but 130 years is not enough for
mainstream science to conclude a warming
trend. LOL!


The presumed cooling trend is caused by cherry picking of AGW deniers.

This has got nothing to do with cherry-picking.

This has got to do with precise mathematical definitions.

I was always taught that warming was defined as an increase in the
temperature.

What we have here is a decrease, or no change in the temperature.

Have AGW Alarmists now redefined warming, to be either an increase, or
a decrease, or no change, in the temperature.

When there is no significant increase in the average global February
temperature in the Northern Hemisphere, between February 1935, and
February 2009, then AGW Alarmists need to explain how this is
consistent with warming.

Is natural temperature variation bigger than the amount of warming
from AGW?

Accusing me of being wrong, without explaining the facts, proves that
you have no scientific rebuttal.

Until you provide a scientific rebuttal, we will assume no change in
temperature over the last 74 years.

But wait. There is more. No significant increase in the February
Northern Hemisphere average global temperature, since 1935.


Could someone provide one of those famous line graphs on this
subject? Another hockey stick, maybe?

Roger has essentially acknowledged in his original post that February
2009 ISN'T the hottest February on record in the northern hemisphere,
but only the 14th hottest. So Roger's post isn't talking about peak
temperatures -- about points on the chart that may prove to be
outliers vis a vis the general trend.

Roger is implicitly making an argument about the general trend, and
indicating that the February 2009 data fits into that trend.

Your point about hotter February temperatures occurring in 1981 and in
1935 may be relevant if you can show that Roger's trend is invalid.
If you're just showing that yep, there was an amazing spike in the
temperature in 1935 and then again in 1981, but you can't link this up
with a trend, then you haven't disproved Roger's point.

Which you must be intelligent enough to understand, Mr. Right. The
fact that you don't even mention this in your post suggests that
you're just engaging in cheap, bogus rhetoric here.

Your larger case against AGW may or may not be valid; the fact that
you're cheerfully trying to hornswoggle everyone in this post doesn't
prove that your side is wrong. But you ARE trying to hornswoggle
everyone with this comment about possible outlier temperatures in 1981
and 1935.

Yeah. That's obviously one of the main problems with the case for AGW

It's hard to make any kind of argument based on such a small data

Both of the posts below constitute CHANGING THE SUBJECT.

Can we get back to debating Roger's post and its implications or non-
implications for the world, please?

I don't think the IPCC or even the Heartland Institute is going to
concern itself much with Q's argument that "Mr. Right is always
wrong," nor with Mr. Right's counter claim that "Q has nothing
intelligent to say."

Neither James Hansen, nor Fred Singer, nor John Christy, nor the
famous Al Gore is going to publish any books on "Q versus Mr Right,"
either.

Do you guys want to get back to debating / discussing "global
warming" ?

You guys claim one or two hot summers in Australia is

If Tucson Arizona has record hot day, you guys mention it in this

if you guys can use one or two hot summers in Australia, why can't
we use eight or ten years?

And those are just year by year, not over long periods of time. But
you guys feel it is evidence.
However, the funny thing is, if Alaska and Canada have a record cold

I've studied the subject a little, skimmed through the Fred Singer/
Dennis Avery book on it.

The gist of the Singer/Avery argument as I understand it is that in
1983, when environmental thinkers already were starting to warn
against the perils of "global warming," and when Keeling's data on CO2
levels at Mauna Loa observatory were already becoming known, somebody
came up with an alternative theory of "inevitable global warming every
1,500 years" based on the notion that overlapping climate trends
triggered by sunspots could somehow combine to generate long swings in
climate conditions, without any influence by industrial CO2 emissions.

It's kind of an interesting theory, but I think it fits into the
ABCD's of climate change Denial as most of you guys practice it: The
answer is ALWAYS "Anything But Carbon Dioxide."

Paleoclimatology as I have briefly examined it indicates that there
have been wide swings in climate conditions in the past, many or even
most of them brought on by factors other than rising CO2 emissions.

However, it's only in the past 200 - 300 years that there have been
rising emissions of industrially generated CO2, due to human societies
digging up and burning fossil carbon that has essentially been
"sequestered" underground from the global carbon cycle for tens of
millions if not hundreds of millions of years.

QED: mainstream climate science notes that industrial CO2 emissions
are a NEW factor in the global climate machinery, and the implication
is that this new factor should have, and is apparently having, a
number of important effects on the climate that are independent of
those generated by some of the older factors that generated previous
ice ages and periods of warming.

I have no problem with Deniers like you when you point out --
correctly, as far as I can see -- that past climate changes have
largely been drivien by Milankovitch cycles, changes in the earth's
albedo, changes in solar intensity, etc. Most of the climate
scientists and climate science popularizers that I've read have agreed
with this.

What seems absurd to me, however, is your insistence that these non-
CO2 factors must be the ONLY factors currently capable of inflencing
the climate. And when you call attention away from Roger's post about
February 2009 temps in the Northern Hemisphere to focus readers on
Paleoclimatology, I think that's what you're basically doing.

You're clearly fairly well informed about Paleoclimatology - probably
much better informed than I am, I would guess.

But what kind of willfully ignorant fanatic can ignore the Keeling CO2
data and recent climate trends towards "global warming" while focusing
exclusively on the Paleoclimate, I wonder?

From my perspective, anyway, you're just ignoring the proverbial
elephant in the room. I imagine because you own a piece of the
elephant, or would like to.

What does adding "of the socialist left/lib persuasion" add to the
validity of your post?

The last I checked, Hansen was a liberal Republican; I believe a few
years ago he was a fan of John McCain. Al Gore is pretty obviously
not a socialist, but a rather moderate Democrat -- moderate enough to
serve in the Clinton administration at a time when the Clintonites
were helping the Republicans to deregulate the banking industry.

"Socialist" is just the Denialist swear word of choice, isn't it?
It's just another way for Denialists to engage in ad hominem attacks
on people who follow the mainstream climate science.

Why do you guys engage in this cheap, obviously false rhetoric, I
wonder?

Obviously it plays well with American libertarians and many American
conservatives -- the dumber ones, the ones who have never spent much
time learning what "socialism" actually means.

But even if your argument from Paleontology is correct -- which I
strongly doubt -- you're weakening it by coupling it with an ad
hominem argument based on a lie.

Why do that, if you think your argument from Paleoclimatology is any
good?

12th warmest February on NASA's 130-year Northern HemisphereRecord
 
if you guys can use one or two hot summers in Australia, why can't
we use eight or ten years?

You're a liar marcodbeast.
And everyone here that has been following the posts now know
that you are a liar.
Or else you just don't follow threads here very well.
Which one is it?
It's all here in this groups archives.
AGW Alarmists implying that the hot weather in Australia was
because of Global Warming.

But, I wasn't discussing Paleoclimatology.
You just tried to change the subject, again.

It's like yesterday. Or not
even that much. More like a few hours ago.


Yet, you fossil fools conclude that there
is a current cooling trend from less than
a decade of data. So then, 8 years is
enough for a fossil fool to claim a cooling
trend, but 130 years is not enough for
mainstream science to conclude a warming
trend. LOL!


And you are trying to establish a climate trend from 130 years out of 12000
years?

How foolhardy you AGWs are.

(Yes, this is from your AGW bible "Wikipedia")

Do you AGW folks really believe, that we reach a +0.6 °C increase at the end
of this century?
Look at the graph, it points at -0.25°C at that moment.
Adding 0.6°C means +0.35°C at the end of this century, which fits to a
temperature 8000 years in the past.

If you really believe this, you have to accellerate your warming by a factor
of 80 to reach your guessed goal in one century.

Oh... merely... it doesn't look like that.



The latest graphs from GISS don't seem so bad if a fifteen
year period 1935-1950 is compared to the ten year period 1993-2008.

About 0.3 degrees, and I believe beginning to use digital
with decimals has to produce a good part of that.

doesn't work, it can be viewed with

and clicking on the "Show Map" button.


But even with the millions spent on this vain effort to show
a crisis, unless a person just happened to be in a location where
the _weather_ was colder than hell in the cold years, it would be
very difficult for anyone to notice any change because of the wide
range in daily temperatures at any location.

The wide range of daily record max high is recorded, but
the daily record min high is hard to find, and it is the spread of
these two data that makes the temperature a non-issue.
