Gene's Footnotes

I have never been impressed by the messenger and always inspect the message, which I now understand is not the norm. People prefer to filter out discordant information. As such, I am frequently confronted with, "Where did you hear that...." Well, here you go. If you want an email version, send me an email.

Still: No Global Warming.

As you likely recall, there is a common acceptance that we are entering a little ice age as the solar activity is abnormally low.  Of course, this acceptance does not settle science as the U.N. says it has a vote of scientists who said it is settled: we are warming, er, changing. Ignore the man behind the curtain, Dr. Mintzer denies he agreed with the U.N. though they claimed his as a true believer. So, he doesn't exist.

If you don't have time to listen to NPR talk about warming/change for hours during unrelated shows, take five seconds, here:

oops

The warming spike of 1998 was averaged out by 2001. If one had free money from the government, one could look into the impact of eruptions in 1997: Monsterrat (goodbye condo), two in Japan (one in 1996), one is Alaska, for starts. The sea eruptions are significant.  Anyway, since then, absolutely not warming. The trends seem to have a greater lifetime.

There are those who will argue the trend from 1997 is not a valid predictor because of the time frame.  Thank you, now you understand your prior fallacy.

If you want to be ignored by some annoying true believer, send this graph. The person will forget you exist for a few months.  Then, all will be forgotten. They will have some new religion to follow.
