If one of you missed it:
Global Warmiing is real and it is happening now “TM”.
I had to to laugh at the TM part.
Just in the beginning of the video.

Comparing global mean temperature to data from just one location is not valid. If you want to refute SkS refute this:

Very funny, I liked it.

Still looking for the Goldilocks Line
Such an awesome tool to get true believers to lower their guard a bit and be exposed to some real data.
Ok, so global warming is real and happening when global cooling, which is also real, is not happening, according to the graph I wasn’t supposed to look at.

Overlaying global temperatures on a time series of the temperature from one location? You’d have much bigger anomalies in the recent era if you used a time series that matches the location of the longer time series.

Loved it.
I am wondering how they got Dana to narate this?
I had to stop laughing before I could type this. Bravo!!
Priceless.
ROTFLMAO
BEST EVA!!!!!!

Well, we can start with this:
Global average temperature since the last ice age (20,000 BC) up to the not-too distant future (2100) under a middle-of-the-road emission scenario.
What does “NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE” mean? It means it hasn’t happened yet. It is projected to happen. You have to accept the premise that CO2 drives warming for that to work. Otherwise, the temperature, you know “actually has to warm up”. The fact that its’ been stagnant for the last 17 years means it better hurry up and start actually warming in order to make the amount of projected (not the actual amount of warming).
Didn’t even show the REALLY scary part… if you zoom back just a little farther where the temperature drops 5C and New York is covered by a mile of ice.

Don’t need to refute it. Marcott himself said that the last vertical part of the plot was not robust (and it was not on his PHD thesis).
But you’re right about comparing global data to data from one area.
CO2 pollution did this. No science. No pseudo-science. No religion. No superstition, No nothing, just babbling morons.
Felix:
Willis here plotted Marcott’s input proxies, none of which show a hockey stick outside of noise:

Yet mathematician Mike Mann actively promoted this mere artifact result that the study authors promoted to the NY Times as a “super hockey stick”:

I thus refute the whole of alarmist climate science peer review and policy advice and thus the whole of alarmist climate science, using your own reference.
I have to say it again:
It sounds like someone took control of Richard Alley’s computer while he was trying to explain his thinking to followers.
Strange that most people don’t know we actually live in an ice age right now. A warm moment, an optimum but ice age.

The reason that those proxies have no hockey stick is because they all end well before 1955 If you look at the supplemental data you can see the column that has years before present (present is 1955)
this is the same error that the author used when making this “humor” video.
I started watching this and went into “Gobsmacked” mode, then I started laughing, and laughing some more. Each switch to the longer time-frame graph brought on more hilarity! The “Think of the children” comment floored me!!
Abso-bloody-lutely BRILLIANT
Felix is almost as dopey as jai mitchell. Here is the long view of global temperatures. Notice where we are today.
The planet is now in a protracted cool period. It could warm up by several degrees, and still not reach average temperatures. Thus, the entire alarmist scare is based on nonsense.
