The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is out with a new report showing that the last twelve months – from May 2011 to April 2012 – are the warmest twelve months ever recorded with an average temperature 2.8-degrees above the 100-year average.
And already in just the first four months of 2012 – the average temperature has been 5.4-degrees above the long-term average – also the hottest such period since recordkeeping back in 1895. Unfortunately – lawmakers beholden to big oil are paid to ignore the data.

Ever Recorded translates to: in the 150 years we have been recording. Which accounts for .00000003% of life on earth. With measurement starting at the end of the Little Ice Age.
Just for context of course... oooo 2.8, run for the hills..

So you are admitting that the national debt, the current economic crisis and the general welfare of the United States has absolutely nothing to do with President Obama and the Obama administration? I mean he's only been in office for 3 years and that cannot possibly be a long enough time frame in order to make any meaningful measurements of Obama's effectiveness.

Interesting analogy. But it fails in that he has use 3 of his alotted 4. or in this case 75%. Seemingly in Non Earth Climate terms, plenty of time to assess.
It is a flawed measurement because it didn't measure the Last warming period.
No Cap, what you are saying about climate change is that even though there's mounds of factual data staring you in the face, you can deny it because you need a massive amount of facts across a long time period in order to prove cause and effect. 3 years is not nearly enough time to prove cause and effect of the Obama administrations policies according to that way of thinking.
Give me a thousand years worth of Obama policies and then I'll have enough data to determine if it indeed has anything to do with the current situatiion.
Sounds kind of ridiculous doesn't it.

No the claim of global warming is. It the hottest it's ever been. Which false. And the Warming is unprecedented, Which is also false. We have only a mere fraction of actual instrument readings. The rest is proxies.
Is it hotter than it's ever been since they started keeping marginally good records. Maybe. If you really woulfd like to see how we keep this record.... I suggest at least looking at. http://www.surfacestations.org/ And gaze upon the wonder that is our climate monitoring system.
It doesn't matter that it's hotter than it's ever been. What matters is they have proof that carbon emissions have a large effect on global warming. They have factual proof of this. I am sure that somewhere in the earth's past it has been warmer than it is today. What matters is what were the effects of the planet's high temperatures. Cause and effect is what matters at any given time. If we wouldn't have pumped so much crap into the atmosphere over the past hundred years (cause) the planet wouldn't be warmer than it should be right now (effect). Science trumps ideology every time.
Would you take a pill that cured the flu... but one of the side effects was death?
Is there man made global warming on Mars?
Of course not.
But Mars is getting hotter. Why is Mars getting hotter? I would suggest that Mars and the Earth are getting hotter because the big fire ball in the sky we call the "SUN" is getting hotter.
I think we should use solar, wind, water, bio, EVERYTHING that's safe and cheaper because it's the "smart" thing to do.
What I can't align myself with is that the SAME people who push for global warming are the SAME people who push for MORE WAR, MORE LAND GRABS, AGENDA 21, MORE OPPRESSION, MORE KILLING! It's not a logical, peaceful movement. It's a movement that's headed by antisocial psychopaths.
Now if one looks at what else goes along with the ride of buying into global warming... one should start to ask questions.
Think of it this way...
Would you take a drug that would cure the cold... but the side effects are death?
Of course you wouldn't!
Tell me why I should be on board with this movement? I would love to be doing the "right" thing. I have studied these guys behind the global warming movement... have you?
If you haven't, please do so.

Come on Fletcher. We've recently had about 8 fires that started from lightning strikes where I live. Mother nature was responsible for that , not man. Therefore it would be silly to believe that man could start a fire with a match.
The earth has had changes in temperature many times over the milinia due to natural occurences therefore it would be silly to believe that man could do anything that would affect the temperature of the earth. You ask me to study the guys behind the warming movement. I'll ask you to study the science behind the warming movement.

Ooooo they have Actual proof that "carbon emissions have a large effect on global warming" ..... Would you be so kind as to share this actual proof?
So how do scientists know that today’s warming is primarily caused by humans putting too much carbon in the atmosphere when we burn coal, oil, and gas or cut down forests?

That is just one reliable source. Of course I don't expect you to believe any of it. As the post title says. You can just plug your ears and humm. Problem solved.
What is the Ratio of man made Carbon to Natural carbon in the atmoshere? Nobody is disputing that atmoshereic CO2 is rising.
Here is your problem with models.... Garbage in Garbage out. Models have yet to accuratly predict the future. or in this case come even close. No model predicted the last 10 years, as CO2 rises the Global average temparature remained Stagniate. No model can account for Clouds nor other natural feedbacks that we don't even know yet. Hopefully your curiosity lead you to look at the surfacestation project which of course casts doubts that we even can accruately determine average Global Temparature to the 10th of a degree.
Well that's a new one. Don't you love when scientist use words like "likely"
None of that is proof. That is supposition.
Exactly what I said. :(
