The Paris Accord is about CO2, not pollution. Christ, what is it with you fanatical green-eyed zealots? Is it really too much for you to comprehend that CO2 is not pollution (as in air pollution/smog) as it's F*CKING invisible and odourless. The F*CKING picture is SMOG. Not CO F*CKING 2...

Oh dear. Someone else who doesn't understand the difference between pollution and CO2. CO2 is invisible, colourless, odourless gas. What you are looking at is pollutants, not CO2. Maybe you could do with undersanding more about what CO2 is and is not, as you clearly do not know.

That's the issue. Obama didn't drive it through; it was an executive order. So, as the new POTUS, he can issue another executive order. Nothing big business can do IMO.

Anyway, I'm outta here now. Too late for me :)

It was how far back they could go always from the start date. Yes, if there was a peak in a certain year, but by regressing further this was eliminated, then the premise is still valid, as over that 18 year period from the 'current' start date, there was no warming, just peaked and troughs...

But this is the problem with global warming. There was a period of warming of about 20 years, then a hiatus of 18 years and now a blip due to the large El Niño. 1979 was the end of a cold period - just think about the effects in the Arctic from the cold period. What will have happendee to...

Let's see how well they are doing based on projections and measurements shall we? With respect, it's not 'settled science'. Science is never settled, nor should it ever be. It should never be scared of being questioned and challenged, but the whole Global Warming is cult like IMO.

You may have stated your position which you are entitled to hold. That doesn't mean to say it's correct. It's your opinion and the opinion of articles which you have read. Regarding the hiatus, it was not choosing 1998 as a start point, the start position was the current date (and this of...

The point is that the end point of the chart shows a deviations of 0.2c from the average temperature from 1981 to 2010. And this is vey different to the chart which you posted. This is from UAH who produce one of the 5 global temperature datasets. This and RSS are satellite not land based...

Using the UAH dataset - satellite records. Which, if you think about it should be more accurate than land based measurements. Why?, I hear you ask. Well, 70% of the planet is ocean. Of the remaining land mass, 9% is Antartica so not exactly a lot of thermometers there. Then of course there's...

No, the hiatus was based on, how far back in time could you go from the current date with no discernible warming, so how can the start date of the current date be cherry picking? The hiatus was only broken by the big El-Nino.

When oceans warm, this reduced their ability to absorb CO2. The oceans have warmed over the end of the last century and CO2 levels have increased. The principle of science is that you produce a theory and then you test your theory. If your theory is wrong, you maybe revise/reconsider and...

I beleive that the different expected in global temperature from the implementation of the Paris Accord is 0.05c. I'm sure others will have a different view which they are entitled to, but I hate it when the attacks are vitriolic just because someone has the audacity to question the...

I used to be a big believer in Global Warming, but I am not convinced of the impact by man. I read a lot on WattsUpWithThat, but it is a skeptical site, but some of the posters are very knowledgeable about a huge range of subjects. What I like is that they will engage in debate and not ban...

This will be interesting.
