“Sometimes, we hear that global warming causes cooling. In this case, global warming causes global averageness. In all three cases, it is bad news.”

There’s no winning then. Cooling, warming, averageness – it all needs regulation by government. Just pay lots of fricken taxes and accept government domination of every inch of your life.
Climate is not weather.
Seriously if global surface temperatures stayed flat for the next 10 years, the warmists would be claiming (1) it’s consistent with their models; and (2) it’s warming far faster than expected.

Wait a minute…that’s what we hear people claiming now! Oh, I see what you did there…

The mantra if it stays flat is that the temperature is one of the warmest in the last x years and to ignore the fact that the temps aren’t going up.
I always though Luboš was way above averageness in his understanding of how climate stuff works.

Climate is not weather.
Neither is AGW, ‘Climate Change’, or whatever color of FUD is sloshed on it.
Weather, however, exists, and it will continue to be with us and to partake in the process of Climate instances.
Weather is the child of the current parent process known as Cimate.
Without children, the class is useless.
Now, for those who insist upon ignoring the weather, you get an F for the course of Climate.
The current models are sterile forms of Climate.
They produce no offspring (Weather).
Who are you going to believe, the model or what’s going on outside?
When I read the article, I thought the statement was a cracker!
Global averageness – a new midpoint for unstoppable global climate control.
You know Hadcrut could be exhibiting a new record soon? So your argument of ‘global warming ending in 1998’ will lose a little oomph.

Not outside my window. How’s it working for you?
Lubos’ string theory math makes my head hurt.
But I like him anyway. 😉
jwr: “Lubos’ string theory math makes my head hurt.”
His math is a little quarky.
Awesome quote, Lubos. A bit too long for a t-shirt, though.
And sorry for the lack of hat in your final s, I don’t know how to make those funny accents.

“Climate is not weather”.
So if we ended one, the other wouldn’t be impacted?
Show us your answer. we want tyo see the work on paper.

In tallbloke’s defense (not that he needs it); “The straightest distance between two points is a short line.”
Prove either of us wrong.
I believe in global flatness.
Gavin dear? Shall we go for a picnic on Sunday?…
You know? I mostly like you American dudes? But I hate how you call ‘maths’ math!
Color and harbor get me going a little bit too…
But, on reflection, you are mostly pretty good guys.
Keep up the good work!
Temperature up. Bad. Temperature down. Bad. Temperature steady. Bad. I give up!
I can see the headlines:
“Global temperatures are dangerously average”
“Scientists say global temperatures are more average than previously feared.”
“If this trend continues by 2030 temperatures will be average”
“Temperatures are the most average now since records began”
“Scientists go to the Arctic to prove that temperatures are average”
A sad story of what the cold can do but its blamed on climate change, the BBC is taking the snip, how dare they imply we should be spending our money on cutting CO2 by bringing AGW into the article when we could spend the money actually helping these people.
“Almost 250 children under the age of five have died in a wave of intensely cold weather in Peru.
Children die from pneumonia and other respiratory infections every year during the winter months particularly in Peru’s southern Andes.
But this year freezing temperatures arrived almost three months earlier than usual.
Experts blame climate change for the early arrival of intense cold which began in March. ”

Everybody in the UK this is your money they are spending to write these articles, is there anything you can do?
