Make that almost 17 years, which is 35,740,800 times longer than 15 seconds.
90% of the students being forced-fed the global warming religion in public schools, have never actually experienced any global warming.

The more apt analogy is warmists arguing that their car has just stopped for 15 seconds when they can’t even prove that they have a car.
And it also doesn’t mean that the car is the reason the light turned red. Or green.
Who controls the traffic lights, controls the world…
RE: ” ‘no warming in 15 years’, like…”
Mandia feeling the need to analogize a negative to the provable statement ‘no warming in 15 year’, is like the Monty Python argument clinic sketch.
We’re paying him for these horrid analogies? And now he claims we didn’t pay enough…
The climate only warmed for 17 seconds between 1981 and 1998, but aside from that, there has been no warming since 1940. Would you spend several trillion for repairs because your car stopped at a light for 17 seconds?
Exactly . . . well said.
Scott Mandia . . desperately seeking stupid.
Heck, even when the warmists’ car was running it was doing about .2 miles/century.
Isn’t it a bit like having your call stopped through several lights,you can’t start it, and all the cars behind you are noisily venting their frustrations?
“Scott A. Mandia is Professor of Earth and Space Sciences and Assistant Chair of the Physical Sciences Department[1] at Suffolk County Community College, Long Island, New York, USA. He has been teaching introductory meteorology and climatology courses for 22 years. He received his M.S. – Meteorology from the Pennsylvania State University in 1990 and his B.S. – Meteorology from University of Lowell in 1987. In 1997, he won the State University of New York Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Teaching.”
Yes, he is qualified to read the weather on your local news channel. What is it with the State Penn?
This guy runs around in some kind of superhero get up fighting deniers.

What is an “AGW Prof”???
I always thought Professors were associated with a formal discipline.
But the standstill is about as long as the recent warming alarm.
Ouch. 🙂
Captivated by the CO2-causes-warming theory, the AGW alarmists continue to be mesmerized by the short-term warming trend of 20th century — a trend that just as easily could be explained by solar fluctuations or oceanic oscillations or even poorly sited thermometers. The Warmists continue to ignore geologically significant time periods.
As Alberto Miatello, independent researcher in the field of physics of the atmosphere/meteorology, observes:
“Before leaving the topic of climate, it might be interesting to examine the bigger picture. When the temperatures of the various warm periods of the current interglacial, the Holocene, are examined using data unadjusted by the current data handlers, it is apparent that, from the Holocene Optimum, Minoan Warm Period (WP), Roman WP, Medieval WP, and Current WP, each successive peak temperature has been lower than the last. This suggests that the Earth is slowly sliding toward the next glaciation and renders meaningless the alarmist projections of constant warming for 100s or more years and even a permanent warm state.”
The earth is getting cooler, not warmer.
I don’t know if these cooling and warming trends can be explained scientifically. The science doesn’t seem to be up to the task right now. There is lots of scientific speculation, though. The central eco-worrier argument is that it must be CO2 because there is no other explanation (that convinces them). That’s such a dumb argument it’s embarrassing. In traditional sceptical circles it’s a logical fallacy called An Argument From Ignorance.
Manidia’s car must have been a Fisker.
He should look under his bonnet. No Scott it is not a Mr Fusion in there it is an internal combustion engine which you have to fill with fuel.
Your climate car has run out of gas, Scott. The ocean cycle forcing has turned down, it caused about 40% of the temperature rise over the IPCC’s preferred period of 1906-2005. And the Sun is also losing her magnetic mojo, which caused another 40% or so of the temperature rise last century.
Which leaves just enough warming left over for CO2 to explain the rest if climate sensitivity is as Lindzen measured. Funnily enough this explains the temperature trajectory in the last couple of decades just about perfectly. Isn’t it just amazingly amazing?
Mandia follower’s getting free trip to Korea. And they make it sound all so logical…..not.
