Climate Change skeptics? [ot]

El Nino bringos mucho caliente, no?

Answer the question that you and the others insist on avoiding.

The observed global warming of the past century occurred primarily in two distinct 20 year periods, from 1925 to 1944 and from 1978 to the present. While the latter warming is often attributed to a human-induced increase of greenhouse gases, causes of the earlier warming are less clear since this period precedes the time of strongest increases in human-induced greenhouse gas (radiative) forcing. Results from a set of six integrations of a coupled ocean-atmosphere climate model suggest that the warming of the early 20th century could have resulted from a combination of human-induced radiative forcing and an unusually large realization of internal multidecadal variability of the coupled ocean-atmosphere system.

Several climate models accurately simulate the global warming of the late 20th century when the radiative effects of increasing levels of human-induced greenhouse gases (GHG) and sulfate aerosols are taken into account. However, the warming in the early part of the century has not been well simulated using these two climate forcings alone. Factors which could contribute to the early 20th century warming include increasing greenhouse gas concentrations, changing solar and volcanic activity, and internal variability of the coupled ocean-atmosphere system. The relative importance of each of these factors is not well known.

Whaddaya know... Chiloe... not being an as#@&%e... again.

BS Ed. You scientists need to get off your doom loving asses and study adaptation measures, how and where to most efficiently use resources and alternative methods of procurring those resources. You give the engineers some workable solutions and they can take care of the details. We dont need to go backasswards to live in a healthy eco system

It's always fun to watch your shameless hypocrisy.

Moving on... why are you so butthurt over my El Nino comment?

You claim I'm parroting a talking point. From where?

Aren't El Ninos associated with warmer global temps? Hasn't an El Nino been anticipated in 2014? What's your beef?

Oh Chiloe. You're right. This is the same old dance. You chime in, acting like a self-righteous little b!tch. I give it back to you. And you get all haughty. Now, you're reduced lies.

Whatever it takes to defend the faith, right perfesser?

You set the tone. I'm just following your lead.

Okay if its true they are not outliers how about posting Hadcrut, RSS, UAH, then.
