Some jerkoff on the OPP prompted me to do just the teeeeeniest bit of searching and this is what 3 minutes got me.

All you folks who believe this "settled science" BS are political tools!

This is worth a listen, although some will refuse because it clashes with the narrative they've been programmed with.

I'll sign it when california gets sucked out by at least 30 miles because of rising temps,then and only then will I consider it. This has to be the biggest line of bull shit since Osama obama became our president

Nice short article from my news file..

It’s official: 2016 was the hottest year on record
2016 is a “data point at the end of many data points that indicates” long-term warming

It's official: 2016 was the hottest year on record
This article originally appeared on Climate Central
2016 was the hottest year in 137 years of record keeping and the third year in a row to take the number one slot, a mark of how much the world has warmed over the last century because of human activities, U.S. government scientists announced Wednesday.

2016 is a “data point at the end of many data points that indicates” long-term warming, Deke Arndt, chief of the monitoring branch of the National Centers for Environmental Information, said.

While the record was expected, the joint announcement by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration came in the midst of Senate confirmation hearings for President-elect Trump’s cabinet nominees, several of whom have expressed doubts about established climate science, as has Trump himself.

Many climate scientists, policy experts and environmentalists are concerned about the potential for the incoming administration to limit funding for climate science and roll back both national and international progress toward limiting the greenhouse gases that are warming the planet.

According to NOAA data, the global average temperature for 2016 was 1.69°F (0.94°C) above the 20th century average and 0.07°F (0.04°C) above the previous record set last year.

In NASA’s records, 2016 was 1.8°F (0.99°C) above the 1951-1980 average.

Each agency has slightly different methods of processing the data and different baseline periods they use for comparison, as do other groups around the world that monitor global temperatures, leading to slightly different year-to-year numbers.

But despite these differences, all of these records “are capturing the same long-term signal. It’s a pretty unmistakable signal,” Arndt said. Or as he likes to put it: “They’re singing the same song, even if they’re hitting different notes along the way.”

Several spots around the globe had record heat for 2016, including Alaska and a swath of the eastern U.S. The contiguous U.S. had its second hottest year on record, according to NOAA, but with the remarkable warmth experienced by Alaska factored in, 2016 would be the hottest for the country as a whole.

The first eight months of the year were all record hot globally; in NOAA’s data, they were part of an unprecedented streak of 16 record hot months in a row.

Of the 17 hottest years on record, 16 have occurred in the 21st century (the exception being the strong El Niño year of 1998).

While El Niño played a role in bumping up global temperatures during 2015 and 2016, the bulk of the warmth was due to the excess heat trapped by greenhouse gases emitted by humans over the past century, particularly carbon dioxide.

In 2016, CO2 concentrations also permanently passed the 400 parts per million mark for the first time in human history; during preindustrial times, that concentration was 280 ppm.

As example of how greenhouse gases have affected global temperatures, 2016 was almost 0.5°F (0.9°C) warmer than 1998, both years that experienced comparably strong El Niños. Even 2014, before the most recent El Niño emerged, was warmer than 1998.

Nearly 120 nations, including the U.S., have ratified the 2015 Paris climate agreement and committed to keeping the worst impacts of warming from materializing by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The agreement cites a goal of keeping global temperature rise “well below” 2°C (3.6°F) above preindustrial levels by the end of this century, with a limit of 1.5°C as a more aggressive goal.

To show how close the world already is to surpassing those limits, Climate Central has been reanalyzing the global temperature data by averaging the NASA and NOAA numbers and comparing them to a baseline closer to preindustrial times. That analysis shows that 2016 was 1.2°C (2.16°F) above the average from 1881-1910.

We have clearly passed 1 degree above preindustrial temperatures,” and likely won’t go below it without a major volcanic eruption (which tends to cool global temperatures), Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, said.

When we might actually reach 1.5°C isn’t clear, Schmidt said, and depends both on how quickly greenhouse gases are emitted — which depends on how quickly countries act to limit their emissions — and just how much additional carbon dioxide can be emitted before the 1.5°C goal is breached, which is still somewhat uncertain.

“We’re closer than we would like to be,” he said.

With El Niño gone, and a weak La Niña to start off 2017, this year isn’t likely to continue the streak and best 2016, climate scientists say. But even if 2017 is cooler than 2016, it will only be a very slight dip compared to the long-term warming trend — in fact, the U.K. Met Office expects that 2017 will still rank among the hottest years on record.

“It’s still going to be a top 5 year in our analysis. I’m pretty confident about that,” Schmidt said.

Now it's 98%. Yesterday it was 97%. Make up your mind which lie we should laugh at.

You like to pretend you know something so tell me:

What happens to global temps in advance of an ice event?

What happens to pCO2 in advance of an ice event?

C'mon, you like to pretend you understand science, so answer those 2 simple questions.

"Settled" science is absolute bullshit. Absolute!

I bet you didn't bother to go the website and read up on who these people are and what they have to say. I sense an attention span problem.

Here! This is short and you don't have to read.

Yes indeed.....THE CLIMATE DOES, IN FACT....CHANGE!!!!!!!

Al Gore has become a multi-millionaire by getting people to give him money to tell them that the sky is falling.

So.....send me money for telling you "pigs don't fly".....99.9% of rational scientists believe this without further research! Christians, atheists and a few muslims believe this to be a fact!

Amazing how the passage of a little time can alter the way information is...er...disseminated, eh? My own guess, not being an expert an all, is that humans have been acutely aware for millennia that the climate, does, in fact, change ( ). Their day to day existence depended on it, it's been one of the causes of mass migrations, depopulations, wars and famines since the beginning. Some of us still understand the purpose of a Farmer's Almanac. We were interested in history and paid attention. We liked science and were taught skepticism, method and deliberate thought. This isn't part of the reality of some ( ignorant, unthinking, inexperienced, spoiled brats...sorry! That just slipped out. ) people.

Point is: Climate change is no longer about climate change or they'd be having a global conferences about building seawalls, levees and desalination plants to combat the impending disaster.

How'd you do in science, Doc? I think what I liked the most was the hands-on thing. We had to learn at Robert E Lee High in J'ville, FL...but the best thing I learned from all of it was critical thinking. These yahoos read a headline, cop a feeling rush and then run with it, proclaiming its gospel truth (not that they have, NOR DO THEY WANT, an even rudimentary understanding of the subject) with the zeal of a TV preacher.

And once again tinymikey has proven his stupidity is surpassed by no others!

And 2016 has just surpassed the last 14yrs as the hottest on record!

I love you, too Raylan!

If you're capable of a teeny exercise in critical thinking, maybe you could answer my previous question. What record? In other words, in baseball they keep stats, right? You can go all the way back to where the stats begin, right?

So! This "record"...when does it begin, what does it say and what happened before then? Easy!

That should convince all the nitwits. I paraphrase it to mean the eminent takeover of our
country by the most hated and most terrifying United Nations. Why didn't someone fly a plane into that building?
