No, scrub that, even Cuba had better Internet than Port Douglas. For real.
It’s a good thing Al Gore ‘invented the Information Superhighway’ though /sarc
It’s a an embarrassment for our great country. The only thing that stops there being a national uproar is the fact that all our politicians are such a bunch of purile squabbling dimwits that they overshadow the other problems entirety.

You think a 3 or 4 day blip is going to reverse a steady dive since the beginning of the year? I now understand why you are immune to the comprehension of statistics.
Engarp,
Clearly it’s you who are arithmetically challenged.
Please see our host’s comment on his numbers in the middle of this month.
So much for “steady decline”.
You can’t handle the truth. Obviously. Nor do you have the least interest in apprehending it.
Just a suggestion: It might be a great thank-you to President Trump to have someone go through the postings on this site that just deal with whether or not he was going to pull out of the Paris Agreement, and choose some of the better supportive comments – as well as some of the negative – and pull them together with pictures and editorial comments into a nice book – hardcopy & electronic – and give it to him as a gift.
Meant middle of last month, obviously.
But expect similar numbers this month as well.
Sorry, Engarp, but you’re on the losing side of reality, history, truth, justice and the American Way!
Chimp, the “truth” is that a 14 day graph isn’t very good at showing long term trends. Try looking at 6 months or 12, you get a better handle on the trend. It’s the same reason the long term warming trend in our climate isn’t shown very well when you only look at the effects of the diminishing El Nino that has been occurring lately.
Engarp,
When I look at longer term trends, I see that the late 20th century warming was about the same as the early 20th century warming and much less impressive than the early 18th century warming.
There is no human fingerprint, hence the null hypothesis can’t be rejected, and there is nothing to worry about. Just enjoy all the added verdancy, thanks to man-made CO2. Mother Nature thanks us.

Alexa (I assume that’s what you’re referring to) doesn’t see all the activity here. WordPress does, and I log the total page view counter daily at my Guide to WUWT, see http://wermenh.com/wuwt/monthly.html
WUWT has averaged about 100K views per day for quite a while. I expect it to tail off as people become lose interest in CAGW, but Anthony’s style and light moderation has done a great job keeping viewers here.
I’m not sure what happened with the mid-May peak, my own site had a huge number of hits, mainly from search engines, too. Rather odd.
At any rate, please learn more about how WUWT is structured and the people who’ve been here for nearly its entire existence before you write us off. We’ll be here a lot longer than you.
A swing and a miss Chimp….
Comparing 2 weeks to 2 years is a 50:1 ratio
You need to compare 7500 years to 150 years to achieve the same ratio. (as we have 150 years of an instrumental record)

What proxy will you use?

All proxies show that earth has been cooling for 3000 to 5000 years, and continues to do so long term.

They don’t have to, all they need is the data they get from the tracking beacons. It’s the same idea when doing a random sample of “likely voters” in an upcoming election.

Actually, no “coward” is a description of an action, i.e. hiding behind a fake name, using multiple identities. Dictionary.com defines it: http://www.dictionary.com/browse/coward
noun a person who lacks courage in facing danger, difficulty, opposition, pain, etc.; a timid or easily intimidated person.
I’ll grant that [you] seem not to be easily intimidated, but that’s really only because you hide behind the safety of anonymity, or at least you think you do. There’s always an electronic trail.
“asshole” on the other hand, is defined as a vulgar noun. It’s a pejorative term.
noun, Vulgar.
1. anus.
2. Slang. a stupid, mean, or contemptible person. the worst part of a place or thing.
adjective
3. Slang. stupid, mean, or contemptible.
So, it’s actually you who loses the argument. If I had used a pejorative term, you’d have a point, but as it stands, you have none. You doubly lose for using multiple aliases here, which truly is the mark of a coward.
If you think calling someone a “coward” is not pejorative, please be advised that you would not want to meet me in a dark alley without a firearm.

Too funny! Had a work mate of mine here mention, in an alarming way, that Trump had pulled the USA out of the Paris agreement. I said, well the USA didn’t sign the agreement, only Obama as he did not pass it through congress, so it’s meaningless. Then I asked how much CO2 did he think was in the air. He said 20%. Kid you not! I said it’s 0.04% and only ~4% of that is due to us.
Warmunists are usually innumerate. One of them was telling me that the increase in CO2 from 300 to 400 parts per million was going to lead to disaster. I replied that there were now 4 molecules rather than 3 of CO2 per TEN THOUSAND. He looked stunned.
Yes… but at that level and with that level of contribution from us it still has an effect.
Sometimes things in small proportions do have an effect.

I’m afraid I don’t know how to spell a Bronx Cheer although I confident that covfefe ain’t it. Any way PFTTTTTTTTTTTTT! to the UN and the Paris Accord. It has become evident during my lifetime (stretching from the ‘resolution’ of the Korean conflict to the present day) that ‘UN’ stands for Unabashed Numbskulls, or perhaps Unimportant Nincompoops.
Thank you President Trump. You did the right thing and for the right reason. The science does not exist to support the Paris Accord.
Seriously, dead trees everywhere? Weren’t there studies just done on how much greener the earth is getting? Something about the increase in number of trees? Of course the spin on that was that it was bad. The climate change people are total fruit cakes. California is going to go with China on carbon agreements. I don’t think there is any clearer case of let me try to wrap my head around this one. I know, let’s crow about how China is going to scrap plans for 100 or 200 coal fired plants that are planned to be built…. but leave off that there are still going to build about 2000. And lets not mention that they stopped all wind and solar projects in the country. Oh, and to all the believers out there, you don’t think the kind of language that is being used about Trump and people that are skeptics, isn’t that close to hate speech? You’re calling me a criminal, on what grounds? Your over blown belief that the world is going to end? Which prediction that was made in 2001 ( or the numerous others made since) has occurred when you first started using that language? None. Not ONE. But my oh my, if a skeptic should ever call a true believer stupid or an idiot. Trump was elected to get us out of the Paris Climate scam. As if there was any debate about global warming. The science was settled as soon as the original records landed in a Denmark landfill.
By the way, thank you President Trump and all the many people who think climate change is a scam.
“And lets not mention that they stopped all wind and solar projects in the country”
But they didn’t. China is building solar and wind faster than ever.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/china-solar-power-output-increase-80-per-cent-three-months-renewable-energy-source-a7719021.html
“China electricity output from photovoltaic plants rose 80 per cent in the first quarter after the world’s biggest solar power market increased installed capacity”
(and you’ll note they are building it faster than the grid connections to use all of it)
and note this:
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/china-to-halt-construction-on-coal-fired-power-plants-in-15-regions/
“China will stop the construction of coal-fired power plants in 15 regions as part of its efforts to tackle a capacity glut in the sector, the country’s energy regulator said on Thursday, confirming an earlier media report.”
China is exceeding its Paris commitment…
“China is exceeding its Paris commitment…”
What, of not doing anything until 2030 ???
You do know they already had over 20% renewables, don’t you griff.
Or are you ignorant of that, just like you are of everything else.
Thankfully, China is going full ahead with coal fired power, not only in China, but in many other countries. doing the job the World Bank and IMF should have done.
India, Pakistan, Africa, Vietnam, Indonesia.. etc etc….. all making great advances in the installation of coal RELIABLE fossil fuel electricity.
No Andy… in stopping CO2/coal power stations before 2030.
China has cancelled over 100 power stations and banned new ones in 14 regions of the country.
India cancelled 13.4 GW of power stations in the last month (including 1 ‘ultra mega’ power plant). It won’t authorise any more new applications for new plants till after 2022 now.
Vietnam just signed a deal for a large onshore wind farm
Did you ever stop to think that perhaps those UNBUILT Coal Fired Power Plants were only planned so that they could be cancelled thereby giving China the appearance of doing something, so China COULD say “See, we do care”. The unbuilt stations were likely preplanned to be unbuilt.
Why do we have 2 entirely separate accounts of what China is doing? Mine is from NHK World from Japan.
I’m going to retract NHK World, it might have been Blue Ocean Network. Your quote on stopping the 134 coal fired plants in the 15 regions is exactly what I said. They are cutting back, but you are leaving off the 2000 or so that are still going to be built. And yes, there was a directive to stop ALL wind and solar projects in China. Perhaps your sources are confused.
All those nations that signed up for GDP income re-distribution will now have to figure out how to make a living on their own. Just like the rest of us. Call 1-800-Waa-Waaa.
I was honestly waiting for an argument. I really did read all the twitter nonsense all the way to the end, I thought there might be some rational discussion but it was all fluff, all the way down.
It was a silly idea to begin with. It had no scientific justification and it was not just economically damaging to the US, it was economically damaging to the entire world. With the exception of the folks on the down low doing the raking in, everyone in that deal lost.
To be perfectly honest, I never expected Trump to do this. The money is on the other side of the bet. He did the royal progress and apparently came up empty; no one was willing to put up. OK. Done. Form was honored. But really, I thought he’d cave. There’s a pretty big investment in AGT right now. It took serious brass balls to stand up against it.
Good for you Donald. This may very well be the beginning of your legacy.

Wow, the comment section on this one is so long I don’t know if anybody will ever read this or not, but here goes anyway.
A copy of the Paris Agreement can be found here:
https://unfccc.int/files/meetings/paris_nov_2015/application/pdf/paris_agreement_english_.pdf
On page 15, Article 28, we find the following language:
Article 28
1. At any time after three years from the date on which this Agreement has entered into force for a Party, that Party may withdraw from this Agreement by giving written notification to the Depositary.
2. Any such withdrawal shall take effect upon expiry of one year from the date of receipt by the Depositary of the notification of withdrawal, or on such later date as may be specified in the notification of withdrawal.
3. Any Party that withdraws from the Convention (i.e., United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) shall be considered as also having withdrawn from this Agreement.
On page 1, Article 1 (c), we find that the word “Party” means “a party to this agreement”.
On Sept. 2016 USA , former president, Obama, claiming his power in a sole executive order, entered the United States into the Paris agreement, WITHOUT any consultation or approval from the Senate to bind the USA for the required four-year period of the agreement, … in effect extending his presidential claim to sole executive order four years PAST his elected term, and disabling his successor from being a party to the party of which he claimed to represent in the agreement.
I’m no lawyer, but this seems to be a clear instance of overreach and attempted obstruction of a future president’s claim to the same exective power to properly commit his country to such an agreement with such a long period of commitment.
No senate approval was ever sought or received to commit the whole country to an agreement of such a binding four-year stay. There WAS no “party”, except a party of one named “Obama”. This alone seems to make the USA’s membership status in the agreement a limp … well, … you know.
A (surprisingly) good article about how the Agreement was crafted to not need Senate approval is at http://www.greenclimate.fund/projects/browse-projects . It concludes with:
Find it interestingly Hypocritical that Left considers Obama had absolute sole authority to sign the agreement (setting aside required Senate approval), while claiming Trump has zero authority to block entry of people from specific countries, regions, or states based on 1952 Immigration & Nationality Act (U.S. Law).
“Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate,”
PS: “I don’t know if anybody will ever read this or not,” — somebody did… 😉
“He may *by proclamation*, and for such period as *he* shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of *all* aliens or *any* class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens *any* restrictions *he may deem to be appropriate*,”
Now what about that wording is hard to understand? It says the president can keep any non-citizen from entering the country for any reason HE determines is appopriate. The decision is the sole discretion of the president.
The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals says the president can’t do the above. The law says different. The Supreme Court will overturn the Fourth Circuit if it upholds the U.S. Constitution. The law couldn’t get any plainer. The dissenting Federal judges have dragged in inappropriage laws in an effort to thwart Trump, for partisan political reasons.
If the Supreme Court does not overturn this ruling, then we are in serious constitutional and national security trouble.
The wording is so plain on this law that I would expect more than a 5-4 vote in favor of overturning.
The judges on the Fourth Circuit who overruled Trump’s travel ban ought to be removed from office for incompetence.
See, someone did read your post. 🙂
If I had the power, I would make Obama honor the financial commitments he agreed to using his own money now that he is a private citizen again.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to the left. Although they were surprised when Trump was elected. He said he would do this and he did. It was to be expected. The election in 2020 will probably surprise those that think their propaganda is working well with the masses.
I often wonder why Tom Steyer isn’t the subject of a RICO investigation.
Why, in reference to Steyer, hasn’t anyone gone through his previous record as a Hedge Fund operator, that made billions on coal contracts in Southeast Asia? I read a long treatise on his history, but , for the life of me, cannot find it. A true snake-in-the grass…Someone always looking for a buck, no matter who, why , or what it violates, as long as he is in control, and can manipulate said parties. And now, doing the same in California. Had it been Trump, it would still be spoken of, and held against him.
One small step for trump..One huge leap for humankind…
Now if only he would stuff anti Russian hysteria up their collectivist arse’s I might become a fan-:)
You should look outside the US. Seeing quite a bit of fake concern for the US economy and power. Still, no one in (mainstream) media is questioning why doom&gloom climate science fails to predict anything with its “theory” (hypothesis really).
The left can’t handle it when someone keeps a promise . Great job President Trump .
Hillary (if you believe her ) claims the Democrats were near bankrupt and she saved them .
The reality is people like Steyer propped them up and bought the agenda . A soulless empty agenda that
helped Hillary lose . A closet Green party running as Democrats and people saw through it .
The sheer arrogance and self righteous of Democrat bag men and Hillary threatening coal workers ?
Guess Hillary let someone else operate her mouth too .
All the predictable hypocrites have now come out of the wood work because their cash dispenser just got shut off .
I must admit I like the Musk pout the best .
He is no longer going to bless the President with his valuable time. Oh what a loss . But why would he? The public cash register just closed and that is a big problem .
$Billions gone in ‘renewable ‘ flame outs after they cashed tax payer grant checks . That’s never talked about .
Those days are over and so are the ” renewable ” companies relying on tax payers to make their business .
The government, on behalf of tax payers, should go after “renewable ” corporate welfare bums to recover the money they ripped off .
++++++ 1 billion…(tax free)
“I must admit I like the Musk pout the best .”
That is rather delicious.
The President’s actions does not stop individuals from taking their own actions to lower their carbon foot print. People can learn to exhale less often. If you think that using fossil fuels is bad them stop making use of all goods and serviced that involves the use of fossil fuels that includes any products transported by forms of transportation that make use of fossil fuels. If your home is connected to a power grid that involves the use of fossil fuels then turn off the main breaker and leave it off. Remember it is your money that keeps the fossil fuel companies in business. Fossil fuel use came to being only in the last 200 years or so. You can always go back to living the way people did more than 200 years ago. Try living on a subsistance farm with no connection to the outside world and see how much better the Earth’s climate becomes.
Or you could work on a steady switch over from fossil fuel to renewables over a reasonable period.
for example, the EU target is 80% renewable electricity by 2050.
But no nuclear.
us civilized folks understand the importance of having the power on all the time, not just when the sun is out and the wind is blowing.
And most of us understand that 100% of any renewable power used has to be backed up by always-on-standby reliable sources…meaning gas or coal.
Jackasses refuse to discuss things while including all of the facts. Sane people prefer to look at the whole story.
