Tom Karl Fails Seventh Grade Math

More than 300 months since the planets temperature was below average

By Associated Press, Published: June 28
WASHINGTON — The world’s climate is not only continuing to warm, it’s adding heat-trapping greenhouse gases even faster than in the past, researchers said Tuesday.

Indeed, the global temperature has been warmer than the 20th century average every month for more than 25 years, they said at a teleconference.

In seventh grade, students typically learn the equation of a line  y = a*x + b where a is the slope and b is the offset. They are independent numbers. You can’t solve for a knowing only b. a could be positive, negative or zero.

Are some climate scientists actually as dumb as they pretend to be?

    lol, well, you didn’t say you were suppose to use tricky remedial algebra! But here is some,

    “The indicators show unequivocally that the world continues to warm,” Thomas R. Karl, director of the National Climatic Data Center, said in releasing the annual State of the Climate report for 2010.”

    Since 2002 all 4 data sets are either flat lining or decreasing. They’ve gone from being deceptive to flat out openly fabricating information.

    I have a 12-step program to help guide Tom Karl and his fellow CACA’s (Catastrophic Anthropogenic Climate Alarmist) with communicating Catastrophic Anthropogenic Climate Change to the public. Here goes:

    Step 1- Stop lying, lying by omission, exaggerating and emoting.

    Since the Wirth/Hansen kickoff in 1988, I do not see any attempt at conquering step 1.

    As long as this “warmest year ever” and “warmest decade ever” crap is out there, the MSM will continute their brainwashing program to convince everyone that warming is continuing full steam ahead.

    Also to say that we are “deniers”, implying we are irrationally denying the “facts” being spoon fed to us by the MSM. It’s easy for a layman to buy into this, if they don’t have the time and interest to check it out themselvers.

    Most people don’t want to believe that their government and their media mannequins are telling blatant lies to them. But for whatever reason, the truth seems to be winning out at this time.

    Tom Karl is one of the primary reasons the NOAA should be defunded and disbanded! TOTAL WASTE of taxpayers money! A private weather service could do pay as you go and do a much better job as they would be paid for accuracy!

    My first year Calculus prof once forgot his own name. Maybe basic algebra is not Tom Karls long suit, maybe fogging a mirror is about all his qualifications run. As long as some form of politics is involved, a brain dead hamster could get a job.

    I think he is trying to combine a number of factors. Unfortunately, he ignores the most important factor – temperature, cherry-picks data for sea-level, and it seems to be a complete puzzle as to where the data for the Greenland ice-sheet melt is coming from. I suspect from somewhere where the sun doesn’t shine.. even in summer.
