Happy to help Jack. WUWT readers you have less than 30 minutes h/t to John Goetz
FROM CNN’s Jack Cafferty:
As the debate continues about global warming, the month of December was the 14th coldest in 115 years in the United States… and some scientists insist the earth is entering a cooling trend.
- Wind chills brought temperatures in the Dakotas to 50 degrees below zero, while record cold in parts of Florida is damaging some of the orange crops, and South Carolina called an early end to shrimping season.
- Parts of Canada have seen actual temperatures of 30 below zero… And freezing temperatures and record snowfalls are pounding parts of Asia and Europe too.
- Britain has experienced the worst snowfalls in half a century.
- In India – it’s estimated at least 100 people have died due to the cold temperatures… with dozens more killed in Bangladesh.
- In China and South Korea, heavy snow and unusually cold weather have brought chaos to travelers – blocking roads and trains, canceling flights. After one recent blizzard in Beijing – officials had more than 300-thousand people clearing the streets.
Meanwhile some of the world’s top climate scientists suggest this winter is only the start of a worldwide trend toward cooler weather, which could last for 20 to 30 years. They base their predictions on changes in water temperatures in the oceans.
The scientists say much of the global warming in the last century was actually caused by these oceanic cycles when they were in a “warm mode”… as opposed to the current “cold mode.” They suggest there will be cooler summers ahead too.
It’s the kind of research that could undermine lots of what we’ve been told about the warming of the Earth being caused only by man-made greenhouse gas emissions.
Here’s my question to you: How has this winter affected your belief in global warming?

This rush to judgment was an indication of their arrogance.
One such unknown, CFCs, has recently been indicted. (See below.) The case the author makes is at least as persuasive as the case against CO2. Therefore, a scientist would (or should) say that expensive CO2 mitigation measures are unjustified at this point, and that we should wait and see if temperatures begin to fall in accordance with the CFC-did-it theory, right? So why aren’t they saying it? Chicken?
It seems once trapped into an ice ace, there is a add-on effect, like a trap. Maybe it is the ice and snow reflecting the sunlight, hence no heat on earth for long periods of time.
I am now more and more convinced that we are entering a cooling period.
I noticed another turning point here at 2003 at the most recent solar post here:

This coincides with the cooling period envisaged by Easterbrook:

But now…which one of the three roads to take? Is there anyone who can figure that out?
PS: on my first quote, note the line with the smoothed monthly values, it shows the tipping point at 2003.
47 deg. and buy at malwart raining on Jan. 25th in upstate NY. buy at malwart, No wonder you all think GW is a hoax (I still think he was, bought to you buy a corporation near you) Now I see why 3rd grade science buy at malwart was so hard for all of the Right, buy at malwart they’re still waiting to be told the answers to the test. buy at malwart. Have a great day, God is a happy face for, buy at malwart, you
