[We now hear the latest from the steroidally augmented politically correct. At Brooklyn’s PS#169 the teachers have banned even the use of the terms ‘Christmas’, ‘Santa Claus’, ‘Thanksgiving’, and several others in school affairs as hearkening back to a time of error and religion. Adding to their decades long progress in neutralizing the American intellect, our educators are opening a second front to extinguish our culture and cultural values. How long until the Left establishes newspeak.gov, an online service for those who demand their daily prophylaxis against being insensitive, racist, homophobic, religionistic, discriminative, …, and foster proper gradations of inclusivity, balance, gender neutrality, global perspective, ecological sensitivity, celebration of transgenderism, … on our road to becoming the new Socialist Person (I almost said ‘Man’)?. gjr]

John,
Sorry to shoot down your newly found comfort in thinking there could be only one person who disagrees with the right wing slant of this board, but you are incorrect. I’ve never registered under any email address remotely close to the one you mentioned. There is another recent imposter (small case) jon, as well as jon.smith who may be playing around with that phony email address. Not sure what you heard from the host.
Thanks.LikeLike

“Jon”. I’d be perfectly happy to comment at a local left wing blog (and am here only after His Lardship made it impossible to post there) but unlike Rebane’s sandbox, none that I have found actually stay on point when someone outside their tribe rattles their cage. It degenerates to insults and other ad hominems.
In the meantime, whether or not your true name is Michael P. Anderson, unless you disavow being the Jon that was challenging me and others on the AGW front, you might favor us with an answer regarding the ridiculous “hottest year” claim and its relationship to measured tropospheric temperatures.LikeLike

Paul. Post your permit and exemption from the state. Otherwise I call BS.
Just because you make up a “faith”, does not mean it’s recognised by “the state”.
Nice try. Otherwise some group would be having orgies down at the river, or Empire state park for that matter as we speak.
(orgies, (in ancient Greece) esoteric religious rituals, especially in the worship of Demeter or Dionysus, characterized in later times by wild dancing, singing,,,etc)

Your confusion would be lessened if you would actually think about the last answers you got that you’ve been ignoring… yes, it got warmer in the last 140 years, but only the last 65 could be partially due to CO2 and since about 1998… the troposphere hasn’t warmed and that’s where CO2 driven warming would be coming from. You are conflating evidence of warming (Greenland melt, within natural variations) with the CO2 bogeyman that doesn’t fit with actual measured atmospheric temperatures.
No, the author of the piece on Greenland melt isn’t a flaming lefty… you are, “Jon” (or is it Michael P. Anderson, with Peeline himself as the dark horse alternate).LikeLike

It isn’t just UAH, “Jon” 9:38. The RSS satellite dataset and radiosonde/weather balloon datasets all correlate nicely overall and show “the pause” of the last two decades. Here’s the RSS data in black compared to IPCC-blessed model hindcast/forecasts in yellow
http://images.remss.com/figures/climate/RSS_Model_TS_compare_trop30.png
Read the actual paper… they’re not claiming what you think they are, or what the Guardian wanted them to be saying. The author of those pieces is
http://courseweb.stthomas.edu/jpabraham/ … BS/MS/PhD Mechanical Engineering, a professor of engineering at a university I’d never have applied to (nor, I suspect, would professor Abraham) with as much formal education in meteorology as I have… and he’s a charter member of the so-called Climate Science Rapid Response Team, a pure propaganda effort to throw mud on heretics. Please note I don’t consider “propaganda” to be purely negative, or indicative of falsehoods. It’s mostly just an indication that weaknesses of the point being made are kept under wraps as to not distract with the point of view they’re pushing on the reader.
The Guardian is not a neutral observer and provide hot-links to an unscientific climate activist site … not to mention the utterly false “consensus-97-per-cent” it is filed under. The AMS published the paper their Journal of Climate, and the AMS professional membership last year split 52/48 on whether the warming of the last century was predominantly anthropogenic or predominantly natural; hardly a 97% number which has been faked from a number of angles… in a show of hands, 26 vs 24 would be called by the chair as evenly split The AMS poll is the only poll of actual scientists I’ve heard of, in contrast to reading tea leaves or entrails by true believers, which is what the Cook/Oreskes determinations were based upon.LikeLike

“Jon’s” aversion to reading someone else’s bible illustrates the difference between Presbylutherans and Jehovah’s Witnesses. Walt, it helps to cite primary sources. Here is the same information direct from the AGU website.
https://fallmeeting.agu.org/2015/files/2015/12/Press-Release-NEW-STUDY-OF-NOAA-USHCN.pdf
To summarize over “Jon” holding both hands over his ears and chanting na na na na I can’t hear you na na na, if one narrows down the terrestrial temperature sensors to those that are both conforming to guidelines for siting and unmoved over the years of the sample,there is about half the warming than has been claimed in the US.LikeLike

“Walt, yes, I truly believe in human induced climate change. YES.

But only a bare majority of the scientists at the AMS think anthropogenic forcings are half or more of the warming of the last century… from all causes. CO2, other emissions, land use patterns, soot, other aerosols. Half.
You guys are on a downhill slope. The right wingers need to lighten up… the longer the “progressive left” drive costs up for no good reason, pounding down heretics wherever they are willing to stand up, the longer they will be laughingstocks once everyone can see the Emperor’s New Clothes.
