Sketch- most people here, like Mr. Bruce Kay, inhabit this thread primarily for entertainment purposes. Don't ever believe he would change in the face of incontrovertible evidence-he wouldn't, because it would spoil his humor at your expense. Just ignore him, although he comes up with some pretty funny stuff sometimes like "Chuffian Darwinism". Others on this thread like Ed and Chiloe are defending this crock of shet like their jobs depended upon it. In Chiloe's case it might well be, in Ed's case i think it is defense of his scientific brethern who are probably heavily funded, and therefore dependent, by the 77 billion dollars of federal largesse lavished on this scheme since 2008. Then, of course their is Base, a petroleum geologist who suffers from "John Muir with a jackhammer syndrome". Keep plugging along Sketch, what you are seeing and talking about is the truth.
Here is a release from Scripps Oceanographic about the Challenger/Argo data that Mentalcase is trying to distort.

Now, now Mentalcase, show a little more imagination than the standard hothead when exposed as pushing bogus data. The atmosphere has ceased warming, the heat is not hiding in the deep oceans, the rate of ocean warming is decelerating and with it the rate of sealevel increase from thermal expansion is slowing from the rise out of the LIA. Take your GRL paper and use it to wipe any of your orifices, since shet is oozing from all.

Rick, your links to the research abstract still do not say what you and your favorite bloggs say they do.

Meanwlile, back in the reality based scientific community, science like this look at fluxes in solar magetism and its effects on earths atmosphere. This is one of many looks at the underappreciated solar amplification effects driving changing natural atmospheric conditions and natural climate change here on Earth. In a few years, after complete self destruction of the weather wackos, these kind of studies will replace the hysterics as the new consensus direction of climate science.

Germany has reverted BACK and away from REMEWABLES and the GREENs are "Hoping" that the upcoming VOTE will assist them in bringing them back.
What does this even mean? Did they dismantle all their wind turbines or something?

I wouldn't call him stooopid. He just believes others are capable of understanding basic science and having intelligent discussions, despite the copious evidence that suggests otherwise.

Where denialist trolls come from:
per http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2013/10/russias-online-comment-propaganda-army/280432/
...
...
Now, it seems, we have an answer to where some of this acrimony originates. It's of course impossible to tell whose vitriol is genuine and whose is being bankrolled, but at least some anti-Western comments appear to come from staffers the Russian government pays to sit in a room, surf the Internet, and leave sometimes hundreds of postings a day that criticize the country's opposition and promote Kremlin-backed policymakers.
Russian news site the St. Petersburg Times describes the story of one woman, Natalya Lvova, who said she attended a job interview in August at a “posh cottage with glass walls” in a village near St. Petersburg:
“To my question about a technical task—what exactly should be written in the comments—a young guy, a coordinator, told me, briefly and clearly, that they were having busy days at the moment and that yesterday they all wrote in support of [Moscow acting mayor Sergei] Sobyanin, while ‘today we sh#t on Navalny,’” she wrote on her VKontakte [ed: a Russian social network] page.
According to Lvova, each commenter was to write no less than 100 comments a day, while people in the other room were to write four postings a day, which then went to the other employees whose job was to post them on social networks as widely as possible.
Employees at the company, located at 131 Lakhtinsky Prospekt, were paid 1,180 rubles ($36.50) for a full 8-hour day and received a free lunch, Lvova wrote.
A Russian journalist who visited one such comment-mill, the St. Petersburg Internet Research Agency, met with a coordinator who said the job was not unlike writing copy for a hair dryer: "The only difference is that this hair dryer is a political one."
The coordinator then provided an example of such postings, including several about Alexei Navalny, Russia's main opposition leader. “Navalny is the Hitler of Our Time," one said.
Others targeted the U.S.:
“Friends, wake up! America is not our friend, but really the worst enemy!” one blogger wrote. “Behind America’s smile and handshake, there is only its task of genocide and the complete destruction of our country.”
Paid, pro-government commenters aren't a new phenomenon in Russia, and similar practices are widespread in countless countries. In their Freedom on the Net report released last week, the NGO Freedom House said the strategy has been on the rise over the past two years, and is now rampant in 22 of the 60 countries the group examined. China, Bahrain, and Russia are at the forefront of this practice, Freedom House wrote.
But some Russian opposition journalists point out that this trolling creates a chilling effect on the few independent media outlets that remain in the country. Finding themselves drowned out by paid propagandists, as opposition activist Vladimir Volokhonsky told the St. Petersburg Times, everyday readers stop responding to news articles entirely:
“The effect created by such Internet trolls is not very big, but they manage to make certain forums meaningless because people stop commenting on the articles when these trolls sit there and constantly create an aggressive, hostile atmosphere toward those whom they don’t like. These include commentary systems on the web sites of every major media outlet in the city that the trolls began to occupy a long time ago and react to certain news with torrents of mud and abuse. This makes it meaningless for a reasonable person to comment on anything there.”
Judging from recent events, though, open, vigorous, and untainted online discussion is something Russia badly needs.
