Is he against just radical terrorists, or all terrorist?

Is he against white supremist terrorism?

2015 clearly has the warmest surface and ocean temperatures on record, for both raw and corrected data. Given the delay for the El Nino heat to spread toward the poles and up to 5 miles into the air, record temperatures for the lower troposphere are probably only months away.

Now above the troposphere, the stratosphere has been cooling, as predicted by the AGW climate models. So interpolating between the warming lower troposphere and the cooling stratosphere I expect a layer with little if any warming

.

Yeah, that’s it. The middle troposphere must be pretty stable.

So to claim “No warming in X years”, how long before deniers cherry-pick data for the middle troposphere?

Floating around the web and frequently repeated here, is a mis-quote by Ottmar Edenhofer of the IPCC. Out of context it makes it look like the IPCC’s objective is global wealth redistribution, and that climate change is a good excuse to justify it. The actual oringinal quote came from a German article that was then translated and misrepresented by a British climate denier with dodgy financial backing. The original German can be found on line, and the meaning has been twisted.

My overview of Edenhoffer’s views, after reading more about him on Google and Wikipedia is:

The science of global warming is sound and not controversial among scientists whose job it is to estimate the truth. By adversely affecting the whole planet, the rich countries have already confiscated some of the wealth of the poorer nations. That is a transfer of wealth.

And if some people must leave oil and coal in the ground, or get taxed to cause CO2 reduction, then that also is a transfer of wealth. This is defacto wealth redistribution. So the problem goes far beyond the science of global warming. The issue is not just the environment. It becomes an economic and political problem.

It is amazing to watch, to see how complicated the model output is!

(it is just CO2 distribution, not as complicated as temperature, vapor, and climate, but it gives an idea what the climate modelers are capable of.

They list records for each country.

The highs are more recent, the lows are less recent.

It claims, contrary to Galileo and Copernicus, that the Sun and stars go around the Earth. Does that mean the science is not settled?
