Global Warming - Contradicted again

[Don]

More peer-reviewed science contradicting the warming-alarmist "scientific consensus" was announced yesterday, as a new study shows that the well-documented warm period which took place in medieval times was not limited to Europe, or the northern hemisphere: it reached all the way to Antarctica.
...A proper temperature record for Antarctica is particularly interesting, as it illuminates one of the main debates in global-warming/climate-change: namely, were the so-called Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age merely regional, or were they global events? The medieval warmup experienced by northern Europeans from say 900AD to 1250AD seems to have been at least as hot as anything seen in the industrial era. If it was worldwide in extent that would strongly suggest that global warming may just be something that happens from time to time, not something caused by miniscule concentrations of CO2 (the atmosphere is 0.04 per cent CO2 right now; this figure might climb to 0.07 per cent in the medium term).

I opened my pool last week (before March 15th)! This was the first winter I bought my eight year old son a sled (and his first winter without snow).

I never really bought into global warming, but now I think I may like it better - I don't know about 350 years of this. Can't afford the pool chemicles.

How much has the temps risen

The temps are 0.6 degrees since the low temps of the mini ice age (1850 till present). Almost all of that happened from 1850 until 1938.

From 1938 until 1979 we saw 0.3 degrees of decline. Then temps went upward by 0.4 until 1998. From 1998 until present we have seen a slight decline of about 0.1 to 0.2 depending on which algorithms you settle on.

If we go from 1938 until present we are about zero increase. !998 and 1938 were just about tied as far as temps go. We have not seen those highs again since 1998, although some new algorithms are claiming we made a mistake on satellite temps in 2005 and that was also a tied year for temp. with 1998.

The best answer is 0.0 degrees C.

I do not know who put this information on Wiki.answers but it does not jive with other web sites I have checked and I have checked a bunch of them.

Here is one quote:

"The decade 2001-2010 was the warmest since records began in 1850, with global land and sea surface temperatures estimated at 0.46 degrees Celsius above the long term average of 14.0 degrees Celsius (57.2 degrees Fahrenheit)," said the World Meteorological Organisation.

Nine of the 10 years also counted among the 10 warmest on record, it added, noting that "climate change accelerated" during the first decade of the 21st century.

The trend continued in 2011, which was the warmest year on record despite La Nina -- a weather pattern which has a cooling effect.

The average temperature in 2011 was 0.40 degrees Celsius above the long term average, said the WMO.
