Last March was the “hottest” on record (ROFLMAO.) But this March global temperatures are running below normal. Apparently the irrefutable scriptures of the chosen religion have been tainted by blasphemers.

The irrefutable physics of global warming

The laws of physics do not surrender to opposition. For the past 35 years global warming has unfolded as predicted by science

By Stefan Rahmstorf

According to the worldwide temperature records maintained by NASA and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), this April was the hottest April globally, for at least 130 years. The past twelve months have been the hottest 12-month period since measurements began.

That is what the data from weather stations and ships shows. But if you prefer satellite data, the picture is similar. Satellite data shows this March to be the hottest March on record, with April ranking second-hottest; whereas surface data has it the other way round, with March the second-hottest and April the hottest.

He blames asthma on oil?

Instead, people should focus on immediate benefits from investing in green technologies, including improved health, economic growth, consumer savings from efficiency, and reduced dependence on foreign oil. He said on health, there are about 100,000 premature deaths a year that can be linked to oil use.

“Think about what it means that in the Central Valley of California, one in six children has to walk around with an inhaler. I know we can change the debate and win the debate,” he said. “We can’t talk about global warming, because people can’t relate to that.”

How many billions of people would die if the oil supply got cut off?

Always shocking to learn that climate is cyclical.

if the satellite warming trends since 1979 are correct, then surface warming during the same time should be significantly less, because moist convection amplifies the warming with height.

This is a key point which is normally ignored by alarmists. GISS proponents often claim that they correlate well with UAH (which they might have done until ten years ago) but as Dr. Spencer points out, GISS shouldn’t be matching satellite data. It should be a lesser slope.

Check out this classic example of distorted logic :

To those of us living in Boulder and surrounding communities, it may come as a surprise that many people remain unconvinced that the use of fossil fuels is the main contributor to current climate change

An example of what happens when such concentrations are too high can be seen by looking at our planetary neighbor, Venus: the Venusian atmosphere is more than 96 percent carbon dioxide (compared to 0.038 percent on Earth), and the temperature can reach 460 C, which is hotter than your oven can get. On the other hand, the planet Mars has a very thin atmosphere is quite cold at -63 degrees C (-81 F). Venus, Earth and Mars are often referred to as the “Goldilocks” planets. Venus is the porridge that is too hot, Mars is porridge that is too cold and Earth is just right.

Mars also has 96% CO2 in its atmosphere and is brutally cold. The reason Venus is hot is because of the high atmospheric pressure, not the chemical composition of the atmosphere.
