Where can I find similar graphs for other areas and altitudes?

You are a little behind the times with your pick for propaganda Joe. Im as conservative as they come, also been using florescents for much longer than they've been mandated. We are on to using LED's quite a bit now. The average home today uses 60% less energy per s.f. than in 1990, we shoot for 70-75%. It is all about controlling consumption for affordability. Waste not, want not.

Rick, Ron, and The Chief, are trolling, or are completely snowed by big money.

I don't know for sure, Coz, but from what I can tell all three of those guys are far from well off financially, and don't have any big money coming their way!

Trolling?

Well, yes, the Chief readily admits to trolling and considers it good personal entertainment, he has said he intentionally does so just to get emotional responses, he likes playing here.

I suspect Ron and Rick are not trolling but honestly believe what they post and are absolutely not amendable to being convinced otherwise, regardless of any mountains of opposing proof and facts.

Does any here know anything about noctilucent clouds and specifically why they would be presenting themselves in lower latitudes than usual this year? Or anything about earths geomagnetic field and atmospheric effects See links below.

Ed:
...however, there are many sites that provide local temperature time series... Chiloe often uses them in plots (look up thread)

A good general source for long-term, quality-controlled weather station data is the US Historical Climatology Network,

The Arctic melt season is kicking into gear this month, lots of eyes watching the ice to see what happens after last year's record-shattering attrition.

Here is a correction for my noctilucent cloud link. Very interesting critters, usually associated with a solar minimum, but this should be the max year of the eleven year schwabe cycle.

Yeah Ron it takes organics and increased cosmic ray bombardment, which is what would happen with a lessened solar magnetic value during a minimum in the 11 year cycle or the onset of reduced activity of a longer solar cycle such as the Dalton or Maunder minimums, or maybe a reduction in earths geo magnetic field.

LOL, Chief, that spike is the last pixel column on the graph, and you are able to tell that temps will hold steady and drop?

Whoa! You should work for the psychic network.

No comment on global ocean heat content? How come it's not steady?

Well guys i checked the sunspot numbers and they are up to 78.7 for the month of May, thats beyond the projected smoothed max of 66. So does this rule out the suns magnetic flux in formation of the early and lower latitude noctilucent cloud formation? Anyone no the cause of this anomaly?

Pay attention to levels of CO2 that have never happened before in man's history, Chief, because CO2 is well correlated to temps, as your graph shows. Only the last few pixel columns covers the industrial age.

The ocean heat content blue line is also rising, and no comment from you.

But why would we want to revert to no ice periods (and all the disturbances associated with it) if we can avoid it?

I knew the Chief would crack.

No ice (and the associated impact) is the present and avoidable danger, not 6k of ice in 2/3rds northern hemisphere. (

Here is a couple links. The first submitted for peer review which claims the ozone depletion holes are responsible for the lack of warming in the southern hemisphere till at least 2050-we all be dead by then of course. The second paper was just published and claims the ozone depletion holes are the reason for the 0.6c global temperature rise of the late 20th century. The first link brings you to a page showing all the authors works, click on the third one down. Both papers provide new perspectives both pro and con on CO2 forced warming.

I know that gal in your post above Bruce. Helped to install her as mayor to replace the former crooked 2 term mayor who was looting the town and standing in the way of sensible development. She is nothing like you like to portray.

All politicians are made up persona's. Every one of them. She got trashed but then decided to laugh all the way to the bank. Currently resides in arizona and will probably take a senate seat from their, i imagine, if old num nuts gets out of the way.

I have been doing my own impromptu polling in my repeated travels about the country and i would say it is a lot more than 46%. Most people think it is a joke and chalk it up to crooked politicians, corporate and the wealthy's greed, and job security for the platoons of graduates of the environmental sciences. A sad, sad commentary on the state of our corrupt civilization.I even talked with a couple australians, germans, indians, and brits who all seemed to concur on the buffoonery of it all.Now, did you read those papers whose links i posted?And yes excuse me, i thought you were talking about percentage of belief in CAGW.The election of 2008, as many elections these days was decided by platoons of undocumentable democrats as well as the ignorant, innocent, insecure and of course the die hard party hacks. Come to think about it if the other team would of won it would have been by much the same constituency. Some choice we have now days.

So true Ron. Glad you brought this to everyones attention. Let's hope the few true CAGW believers on this thread take the time to read, then independently take the time to reach the inescapable conclusion-CAGW is "forced science fiction" designed for the purpose of enriching the few while pilfering from the many.

That column Ron pasted was from an article in "The New American," which is a publication of the John Birch Society.

Ron, this is why no one takes your claims seriously. Your arguments and "facts," when you bother to cite them, usually come from raving right wing crap sources.

The John Birch Society?

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Ron, alternative views are vetted where they should be vetted: by other scientists through the peer review process.

You seem more comfortable seeking out facts that support your worldview in right wing paranoid rags.
