After that, you're just another denialist. The irony of course is that the study did not investigate, prove or find that "global warming is real". It set out to confirm (or otherwise) previous estimates of past temperatures. It doesn't even define what "global warming" is, and nor has anybody in this thread. Take for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:In...ord_(NASA).svg The 5 year average global temperature was lower in 1963 than at any time since 1935. Was "global warming" occurring in (say) 1961? How do you know? What calculation based on temperatures (which is what was measured) determines if "global warming" is occurring or not occurring at some point in time? You see, a statement that a "Major analysis confirms x is real" is completely meaningless unless somebody defines exactly what "x" is, and neither the authors of the study, anybody in this thread, or yourself has provided a definition of "global warming". Can you tell us how we use a temperature record to determine whether "global warming" is occurring at a particular time? And if you can't tell us what the term "global warming" is supposed to mean, how can you possibly claim that some study proves it exists? |

Your science denialist tactic of asking the same questions over and over, ignoring the answers already given, might work with the peanut gallery on pseudoscience sites like that of Watts, but you're on a science forum here... way out of your depth. |

It's an increase in the worldwide mean temperature, due to increased levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. We know, from those measurements in Hawai'i, that the proportion of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased. If the worldwide mean temperature has increased, when you average out over things like the La Nina/El Nino cycle, then there is reason to suspect that AGW has taken place (the increase in carbon dioxide levels _is_ anthropogenic). Of course, one still has to eliminate other causes, but IIRC, sunspots have been going the wrong way to cause warming - we've had a quiet sun recently. John Savard |
