BF2S Forums Yes! Global Warming Is Over!!!

lol, its always been a natural cycle, man influenced global warming is way-overhyped.

Woot!!!!  But wait..  I had a gad zillion carbon credits... NOOOOOO!!!!

Or perhaps the the Gulf Stream and such like are beginning to shut down due to all the fresh water melt from global warming. From a pessimistic view, anyhow.

Day After Tomorrow! ARGH!

don't fly helicopters to Balmoral castle (whatever its proper spelling is lol)

I guess you missed the idea that global warming is an increase in the average temperature over a period of time.  So there are ups and downs, but the average is rising.  One small drop does not indicate cooling, unlike the warming trend which is over years and decades.  Some of the info you've posted shows a warming trend over a century.  One year with a marginal drop in no way spells the end of global warming.

No, it doesn't, but a drop that is nearly larger than the net increase of temperature is hardly 'marginal'.  Unless you consider the temperature rise 'marginal' also.

I never knew it started, must of been before my time...


Say thousands of years ago.

Oh zhe climate, its a natural wonderful thing. I think humans and our ways have attributed to many things concerning our climate, but nothing compared to the natural forces of mother nature. That said i wish to post something I found today to add to zhe discussion. Looks like pretty sound scientific evidence prevails, IMO. So READ IT DAMMIT

Twelve-month long drop in world temperatures wipes out a century of warming

Over the past year, anecdotal evidence for a cooling planet has exploded. China has its coldest winter in 100 years. Baghdad sees its first snow in all recorded history. North America has the most snowcover in 50 years, with places like Wisconsin the highest since record-keeping began. Record levels of Antarctic sea ice, record cold in Minnesota, Texas, Florida, Mexico, Australia, Iran, Greece, South Africa, Greenland, Argentina, Chile -- the list goes on and on.

No more than anecdotal evidence, to be sure. But now, that evidence has been supplanted by hard scientific fact. All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASA's GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously.

Meteorologist Anthony Watts compiled the results of all the sources. The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C -- a value large enough to erase nearly all the global warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year time. For all sources, it's the single fastest temperature change ever recorded, either up or down.

Scientists quoted in a past DailyTech article link the cooling to reduced solar activity which they claim is a much larger driver of climate change than man-made greenhouse gases. The dramatic cooling seen in just 12 months time seems to bear that out. While the data doesn't itself disprove that carbon dioxide is acting to warm the planet, it does demonstrate clearly that more powerful factors are now cooling it.

Let's hope those factors stop fast. Cold is more damaging than heat. The mean temperature of the planet is about 54 degrees. Humans -- and most of the crops and animals we depend on -- prefer a temperature closer to 70.

Historically, the warm periods such as the Medieval Climate Optimum were beneficial for civilization. Corresponding cooling events such as the Little Ice Age, though, were uniformly bad news.

So there ya have it. Records are meant to be broken. GG Mother Nature. GG.

Natural cycles will continue with or without our input, the natural cycle will go up and down in a pretty similar way as in history. The problem is that our pollution of the atmosphere will boost the effects, generally moving the average over which the variations take place to a higher value. The global temperature will go up, down, stagnate as before, but will average at a higher value. When the natural cycles hit peaks, those peaks will be significantly worse. Those peaks have historically been catastrophic with our help they will be worse. The link says the recent cooling is due to a reduction in solar output, which may be true. In which case this ISN'T in any way proof that man-made global warming isn't occuring. It's a seperate natural event that is obscuring the trend.

Nobody has ever found any way to deny that adding CO2 to the atmosphere will increase the temperature of the planet. Unless you can disprove this then man-made global warming is still alive and well and continuing.

All this really shows is how most people debating the issue simply have little idea about what they are talking about. If you think this proves that we aren't causing an increase in global temperatures, you don't understand the issue.

U made me lawl srsly u actually made me lawl lulz

I'm still down for cutting pollution levels..just because we can.
