Not silly, ignorant. Unless you've looked at the data. If that's the case then you're a liar.

Yes, people can always count on me to give them the context you don't.

And global sea ice: Context, get some Walter.

Thirty years is the smallest period for defining climate. Here's an exercise for you. Take 30 years of climate data, say 1970 to 1999. Compute the trend plus a 95% confidence interval for your projection of that trend, and extend the line 12 years. Then plot the next 12.75 years of data, and see...

Can a class of students have an improving grade average even if one student performs more poorly as the year progresses? Of course. But for context, if you look at the last 33 years of ice gain in Antarctica, that amount is offset by just the last 5 years of ice loss in the Arctic. The net...

30+ years of sea ice data is plenty of evidence about the trajectory of those climates. As for the sky falling, the satellites are measuring that too: http://www.ufa.cas.cz/html/climaero/topics/global_change_science.pdf

Warning: Science context ahead So, as anyone can plainly see, the net global sea ice is down... The last 5 years of Arctic melt is equal to the last 30 years of Antarctic growth.

Off shore wind farms aren't on someone's private property. But maybe that could be a mitigation for those farms close to shore. Wind farm pays the royalties just like they would to farmers in PEI or Alberta, the regulators put the money in trust, and that goes to residents that can show a...

As Tropical Storm Leslie has swung by and heads towards Newfoundland, the storm dropped a lot of precipitation in Atlantic Canada, and is continuing to bring large downpours of rain. School were closed today and some people evacuated. Some pictures from the flood circulating today...

There's that conspiracy thinking peeking out again, and right on time! :lol:

Did you read the link? No names mentioned. But it's astounding really. So despite all the contributions science and technology have made in the past century, now we can all be jaded because the scientists have the temerity to conduct science without paying for it from their own pockets? How is...

Since this seems to be a point of contention...here's the published findings that have examined the field of views in climate research. 97.4% of publishing climatologists answered yes to the following question:Do you think human activity is a significant contributing factor in changing mean...

Yeah...I'm not going to pick up the bible and type it all out to you. Some of us remember the things we read. It's just funny that you brought up ignorance. You either never read Genesis, or you have forgotten and then decided to chide someone else for your own ignorance. :lol: I would counter...

Walter lecturing about ignorance? Hah! You never read Genesis? Genesis 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; Genesis 5:2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day...

Learn to read Walter. Your objections are a pile of crap.

Good thing I don't take directions from you, I'd end up in Northern Saskatchewan. Have you learned the difference between miles and kilometers yet?

No, it's not. Year to year variability is higher than the long-term signal in magnitude. Over long time scales the variability plus and minus a long term trend scrubs out. That's the very nature of an average in a time series with a trend plus noise. Some years will be above the average, some...

Reference for this ludicrous assertion? I think you are mistaken.

Climate projections have less uncertainty than projections of the next seasons weather. The chaotic components of weather don't have the same impact on long-term projections.

Heh, unlikely! But I figure you knew that already. ;-) Qikiqtarjuaq, Nunavut - 7 Day Forecast - Environment Canada
