Climate Is Not A Straight Line

If climate was linear, the Earth would either be like Venus or Pluto. Why are people always force fitting straight lines?

It cooled until 1920, warmed until 1980, and has been cooling since.

    in 1900 the population of Washington DC was almost 1/4 million ~250,000
    in 1980 the population of Washington DC was almost 3/4 million ~700,000

    wonder if tripling the population has anything to do with it……you think?

    Cycles in climate … what a shocker!

    Climate is not an average! Climate is not Global! Climate is the study of regional weather variations which if extrapolated to a global climate loses all the important signals. Averaging Climate also destroys any useful information about the regional weather. A semiilliterate person in a farming community knows more about the weather than a good many of the current scholars studying climate.

    They use straight lines because all you have to do is choose your time frame carefully and you can show a warming trend.

    The assume all natural cycles have been swamped out by a little CO2, so straight lines are the rule, as the KNOW we are warming.

    I would love to see NASA’s ‘formula’ that ‘ adjusts for ubanization’. The same bunch that thinks negative feedback is positive probably adjusted in the wrong direction again.
