I was taken by the pop-up that arrived when I tried your link... the one saying "anyone can create an online newspaper... it's easy and free"! :mrgreen: (I kid you not member Locutus)...
thanks for moderating the discussion
no worries; however, as I said... your energy/hostility would be better channeled in a positive direction. My (repeated) suggestion would be for you not to take direct challenges to your unsubstantiated statements/claims as a personal affront; rather, you should see them as an opportunity for you to better inform both yourself and the board membership of your vast assortment of "alternate theories" of warming... of cooling... or wherever you hit your dartboard that particular day.
The argument over the hottest year isn't significant. What is significant is the warming trend, which continues. What is significant is that 2014 was so warm despite it being an ENSO neutral year (no El Nino). 2010 and 1998 were moderate to strong El Nino years. We also had a positive Pacific Decadal Oscialltion. If the PDO is coming out of its negative phase, we can expect a few warmer years.

Now I won't say 'told you so', but have you noticed how the argument changed slightly? They are actually talking about statistical tests now. :smile:
If we wait a few years we'll find even more, older elk sh¡t in glacial plateaus and ponder how they got there?
I heard one today that makes even waldo look somewhat smart. Truther I was talking to said we have to quit burning carbon fuels and move to alternative (unspecified) sources of energy. I asked him what was the point of leaving oil and coal in the ground if it was soon going to be obsolete. His answer? "WE have to save it for future generations".
The Sound Of Settled Science
Peer-reviewed pocket-calculator climate model exposes serious errors in complex computer models;
The paper, Why models run hot: results from an irreducibly simple climate model, by Christopher Monckton of Brenchley, Willie Soon, David Legates and Matt Briggs, survived three rounds of tough peer review in which two of the reviewers had at first opposed the paper on the ground that it questioned the IPCC's predictions.
When the paper's four authors first tested the finished model's global-warming predictions against those of the complex computer models and against observed real-world temperature change, their simple model was closer to the measured rate of global warming than all the projections of the complex "general-circulation" models...

In a critical year for action to prevent runaway climate change, one would hope the issue would rank high on chief executives' list of business risks to worry about.
So it comes as a shock to discover that climate change appears so low on their list of concerns that professional services group Price Waterhouse Coopers did not even bother to include it in its global survey of business leaders.
