Climate and Weather

My wife and I have operated a business (actually, several businesses) for 20-some years now. For the first couple of years, we used her retirement savings and my paycheck to finance things. Then it turned profitable and expanded into 4 times the space. Running a small business is a 24-7 operation for her - I was happy to "retire" into the role of babysitter and technical support as needed, and providing a sympathetic ear when she was getting screwed by competitors, customers, employees, and city bureaucracy. She now has retrenched to a level she can operate her remaining business (real estate broker) from home (and car, and laptops, and cellphones).

But it hasn't made us bitter. I still volunteer at the high school soccer games (no more club or league meetings now that my kids aged out). My wife has been cooking all week for the free morning meals at her church. For years she was an international ambassador for NAR, setting up training and recruiting seminars around the rim of Asia from Taiwan to Dubai. She organized an effort to build housing for victims of a typhoon in the Philippines, coordinating money from NAR and local fundraisers (over $20k last week), construction of houses from old shipping containers, and land donations from the mayor of the worst-hit city. Yesterday she was appointed interim Chairman of the Board of a new public health clinic, tasked with finding permanent board members (usually that means people with money) and a professional executive director, who will recruit staff.

If she becomes as bitter as you act, I'd move in with the kids.

Well good for you Magoo....you are blessed.
Magoo, blessed as you are, you are also wrong. I'm not bitter. You have no idea what you speak of.
Ask anyone who knows me...I'm far from bitter...I am blessed.
I have two smart, extremely talented, beautiful daughters, I have family & friends who love and enjoy my company.
I've been blessed to have lived & grown up in Camarillo. (I have friends that I see from the first grade.) I've made a great living and had a successful business doing what I love.
I now build dialysis clinics all over the country where I meet wonderful people and the facilities make life so much better for those who need dialysis to survive.
You claiming I'm bitter typifies why you are called Magoo....
Once again Merry Christmas Magoo.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Luntz

"...the term “climate change” was in fact promoted by Republican strategist Frank Luntz, who suggested using it because it’s less severe (“frightening”) then saying “global warming”

"Although Luntz later tried to distance himself from the Bush administration policy, it was his idea that administration communications reframe "global warming" as "climate change" since "climate change" was thought to sound less severe.[19] Luntz has since said that he is not responsible for what the Bush administration did after that time. Though he now believes humans have contributed to global warming, he maintains that the science was in fact incomplete, and his recommendation sound, at the time he made it.[20]"

Why did Earth’s surface temperature stop rising in the past decade?

November 8, 2013

Editor’s note: Updated June 4, 2015

New analysis through 2014 shows that temperature is once again rising at about the same pace as it did over the second half of the 20th century. PRESS RELEASE.

Using the data that were available at the time (through 2012), the last climate report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded that there had been no statistically significant increase in global surface temperature from 1998-2012.
 
Report: Obama Admin Fires Scientist for Being Too Forthright With Congress
12/21/2016 8:00:00 AM - Leah Barkoukis

This is how the left deals with truth tellers, so why would I believe any of the made up BS these 97% of lying scientists say?


A top scientist at the Department of Energy was fired for not toeing the Obama administration’s line regarding climate science, a new congressional investigation found.

Emails unearthed during the investigation “show a sequence of events leading to a premeditated scheme by senior DoE employees ‘to squash the prospects of Senate support'” for the radiation act, a move that lawmakers claim was meant to help advance President Obama’s own climate change goals.


The report released by Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas), chairman of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, alleges that DOE officials withheld information from Congress and fired a top scientist at the agency all to advance the Obama administration’s climate agenda.

The myth of no warming since 1998 was based on the satellite record estimates of the temperature of the atmosphere. However, as discussed in the video below by Peter Sinclair, even that argument is no longer accurate. The satellites show warming since 1998 too.


There's also a tendency for some people just to concentrate on atmospheric or surface air temperatures when there are other, more useful, indicators that can give us a better idea how rapidly the world is warming. More than 90% of global warming heat goes into warming the oceans, while less than 3% goes into increasing the atmospheric and surface air temperature. Records show that the Earth has been warming at a steady rate before and since 1998 and there is no sign of it slowing any time soon (Figure 1).



Figure 1: Land, atmosphere, and ice heating (red), 0-700 meter ocean heat content (OHC) increase (light blue), 700-2,000 meter OHC increase (dark blue). From Nuccitelli et al. (2012).

Even if we focus exclusively on global surface temperatures, Cowtan & Way (2013) shows that when we account for temperatures across the entire globe (including the Arctic, which is the part of the planet warming fastest), the global surface warming trend for 1997–2015 is approximately 0.14°C per decade.


Ultimately, every part of the Earth's climate system is warming, and has continued warming since 1998.

Its ok to have disagreements on what the climate s doing, and where it will go in the future.
As a matter of fact, its healthy.
The earth has been in a mini warming cycle since the 1880s, within a larger interglacial, which started roughly 10 tp 13 thousand years ago.
I believe we are at, or near the top of the "mini" warming trend, and will see things cool off eventually.
Hopefully, we are nowhere near a sharp decent into glaciation, as that cycle based on the historical record, is a statistical certainty.
Historically speaking, warming=good
cooling =bad

What about this poor, poster bear of the alarmist left?
He is not digging the warming trend.

That website doesnt help your case.
Its not skeptical of anything other than true skepticism.

Yes.
Im answering as if I were talking to espola because Im a wise ass.
Why would you only care about white bears?
Im sure there are black and brown bears that deserve at least as much sympathy.

That's funny, you know me, I only care about whitey.
I thought a pipe fell on your head for a minute.
