"Contrarians" (I try to be nice) do not only not distinguish weather and climate, but also regional and global, 2D and 3D (sea ice), and science and politics.<br />http://friendsofginandtonic.org/page4/page9/page9.html<br />http://friendsofginandtonic.org/page4/page18/page18.html<br />Science is more complicated than "the models are wrong" or "climate has always changed". Many of their logical connections are "non sequitur".<br /><br />3. "Contrarians" use time scales favourable for deception: either the geological time scale ("...climate was different in the Ordovician...") or one since 1998...always creating something out of context.<br /><br />4. The latest trick is compressing the Y-axis of the t-T diagram (see above). Bob's homework will be adding the average Ts for ice ages and warm ages to his diagram.<br /><br />5. An example of 2.: climate is defined by 30-year intervals. Therefore, even if it is warming for 5 years, this may (but in this case isn't) part of a cooling phase. Anybody screaming warming has stopped in 1998 (which it hasn't), therefore global warming is over, is simply wrong.<br /><br />JürgenBrausehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14907069863897082600noreply@blogger.com
