IF GLOBAL IS WARMING WHY ARE THERE STILL MONKEYS???

CHECKMATE, LIBS

Maybe it's the Earth's... um, 'time of the millennia' if you know what I mean
Revelation 16:4, it is just a part of becoming an adult planet

The Titanic isn't sinking, my end is 20 feet in the air!

BUT ORATHAIC IT SNOWED TODAY IN THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS. IF GLOBAL WARMING WAS REAL THEN HOW COME IT WAS SNOWING? YOU CAN'T ANSWER THAT, YOU LYING LIBTARD.

2WL, it only works if LeonWalras does it. Otherwise the joke is dead.

and if it isn't - i say we kill it.

It is.

I believe global warming is real, but one hot year doesn't prove shit. It's all about climate. Hot and cold years happen without global warming too.

1911 Breaks Cold Record, Challenging Global Cooling Skeptics

By Octavious Daniels JAN. 16, 1912

Last year was the coldest on earth since record-keeping began in 1880, scientists reported on Friday, underscoring warnings about the risks of a new ice age and undermining claims by climate change contrarians that global cooling had somehow stopped.

In the annals of climatology, 1911 surpassed 1908 as the coldest year. The 7 coldest years have all occurred since 1900, a reflection of the relentless planetary cooling that scientists say is a consequence of changes in solar activity and poses profound long-term risks to civilization and nature.

"It is exceptionally unlikely that we would be witnessing a record year of cold, during a record-cold decade, during a age we would be expecting a cyclical return to the temperatures enjoyed in the Medieval Warm Period, if a more profound long term shift towards a ice age climate was not underway” George E. Gurll, a climate scientist at the Pennsylvania State University, said in a telegram.

Don't know what that was about from COct, but There was a belief that cooling was occurring related to snow cover in the early to mid twentieth, it was bad science. Doesn't mean that this is as well.

@ Santa

I was using the same data supplied in the New York Times article, linked to in this thread, that is used as the bedrock for the argument that 2014 was the hottest year. The source is "NASA; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration". If you consider that bad science we might as well give up and go home.

Hottest years since records were first kept in the 1880s?

What about the previous 8000 years??!?!!!111!

There are plenty of other available metrics to determine that those 8000 years did not experience the same effects that are occurring now.

@Jeff, tue records for the past thosands of years don't include global coverage; only individual ice cores and tree trings (which give indirect estimates of local climate conditions)

You can say what happened locally in many case - but no lt that the whole globe was hotter or colder...

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that my Young Earth creationism joke fell on deaf ears.

Aren't jokes supposed to be funny? :p

What is really surprising is that bo didn't notice, and played right into your hand.

It wasn't that good to be fair..

Um yeah I don't get it.

*sigh*

bo - Jeff was making a joke which was partly based on an assumption that the earth is only 8,000 years old. Some people believe this. Jeff was indirectly implying that those people are quite ignorant - similar perhaps to the wilful ignorance of people who believe that humanity is not damaging earth's climate, causing dangerous warming.

Ok?
