Oh, cosserat,
So I should just go with the crowd because of the proportion of people on SmartPlanet who deny global warming? Yeah, that's real scientific. I prefer to listen to the real scientists who are active in the field to form my opinion on scientific subjects.
Here is the graph you presented to SmartPlanet readers to back up your position:
http://www.thetruthaboutclimatechange.org/tempsworld.htmlWhere is the downward trend in your graph for the past decade? When is this downward trend going to start? The ups and downs of your 11 year mean may track well with the AMO but the long term trend is still upward. Otherwise the low of the AMO in the 1970's would have matched the low in the 1910's. When is that upward trend going to reverse?
I enjoy the beauty of the world immensely and hope to help keep it that way. In a couple of weeks I'll start a 3 week trip rowing down the Colorado River at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. I expect it to be an intensely awesome experience.
I think it's you who needs to join the real world. The physics is on my side.
