At WUWT, one thing we pride ourselves in is helping visitors learn about the issues and the science, even if those visitors should already know what these things mean. Take for example, Michael Tobis proprietor of “Only In it for the Gold” and “Planet3.0”, both heavily pro-warming sites. Readers may remember Mr. Tobis from his famous F-word Fusillade.
Mike came to WUWT to ask a simple question, and of course, we are always happy to help him out.
Original comment asking to define “CAGW” here.
Honestly, I thought most everyone (especially the bloggers) in this debate knew this term, but apparently not. So, this post will make sure everyone does now.
CAGW is an abbreviation for Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming
For more abbreviations, see our WUWT Glossary Page

Seconded, you guys are good! Seriously, it’s actually stunning that Mr. Tobis doesn’t know the term. Good on ya for assisting him, and here’s hoping that he sees the light someday. Also, here’s hoping that one of the three people likely to be the President next term can pull us out of our nosedive….what am I saying?

Jeez, I thought it always meant “Church of Anthropogenic Global Warming?”

Part of the reply is wrong. Not runaway global warming which few think possible. It stops when the CO2, and perhaps methane, rise stops, and would only be runaway if there was a much larger source of these released from somewhere.
Cooling Ain’t ‘Green’, Watts!!!!

Honest. I am embarrassed.
AGW = Anthropogenic Global Warming.
CAGW = Computer Algorithmic Global Warming.
I didn’t even ever stop to think there were alternative definitions.

Carbon Attacking Good Weather.
The weather was always good, everywhere, all the time, before evil Carbon (which in today’s world means CO2) started on its rampage.
Sound like one of those late night TV video commercials.

He asked this on curry’s site 8-10 months back. He wants to craft an image of being professorially aloof akin to braniacs who can’t drive, etc. He’s being a douche.

Comments Are Great – (you’re) Welcome
Under this Administration, “CAGW” means: “Can’t Always Get Work”.
In fact, change the acronym to “CNGW” and it means” “Can Never Get Work”.
