Thread: Any doubts about Climate Change?

Last month saw the hottest global November surface temperature on record, according to the latest data from NASA.

Of course, the global surface temperature is only one of many indicators the planet just keeps warming, as I wrote in my September post, “Faux Pause: Ocean Warming, Sea Level Rise And Polar Ice Melt Speed Up, Surface Warming To Follow.”

Now two new studies demolish the myth that warming — including surface warming — has not continued apace. Stefan Rahmstorf, Co-Chair of Earth System Analysis at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, discusses the first paper at RealClimate:

A new study by British and Canadian researchers shows that the global temperature rise of the past 15 years has been greatly underestimated. The reason is the data gaps in the weather station network, especially in the Arctic. If you fill these data gaps using satellite measurements, the warming trend is more than doubled in the widely used HadCRUT4 data, and the much-discussed “warming pause” has virtually disappeared.

But now it's back to normal , with a tepid summer and chilly winter coming .

You are so lucky. And can I get your address? There could be about 150 million climate refugees in the coming years because of rising sea levels and they’ll be lookin’ for a place to stay. Oh,.and I hope you have a large refrigerator, cuase they’ll be hungry.

I'm fine, fvck everyone else
