2.4C warming by 2020

A press release for the Food Gap study was carried by EurekAlert!, the news service operated by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) ,

American Association for the Advancement of Science--No longer credible!
 
Just found link at a site discussing this issue this morning. While it's not particularly related to this thread topic, I figured I just go ahead and link it anyway.

Abstract:
A recently published estimate of Earth’s global warming trend is 0.63 ± 0.28 W/m2, as calculated from ocean heat content anomaly data spanning 1993–2008. This value is not representative of the recent (2003–2008) warming/cooling rate because of a “flattening” that occurred around 2001–2002. Using only 2003–2008 data from Argo floats, we find by four different algorithms that the recent trend ranges from –0.010 to –0.160 W/m2 with a typical error bar of ±0.2 W/m2. These results fail to support the existence of a frequently-cited large positive computed radiative imbalance.

Damn. I really wish the folks who call me ignorant had something to say. It's too bad they can't school me.

You're really no different from them. You just believe every single thing you read on the OTHER side, and post every link you find.

It's almost indistinguishable, actually...

Are you still a believer, Onceler ? :palm:

Earth Day Predictions, April 22, 1970

"We have about five more years at the outside to do something."
-- Kenneth Watt, ecologist

"Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind."
-- George Wald, Harvard Biologist

"We are in an environmental crisis which threatens the survival of this nation, and of the world as a suitable place of human habitation."
-- Barry Commoner, Washington University biologist

"Man must stop pollution and conserve his resources, not merely to enhance existence but to save the race from intolerable deterioration and possible extinction."
-- New York Times editorial, the day after the first Earth Day

"Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make. The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years."
-- Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University biologist

"By...[1975] some experts feel that food shortages will have escalated the present level of world hunger and starvation into famines of unbelievable proportions. Other experts, more optimistic, think the ultimate food-population collision will not occur until the decade of the 1980s."
-- Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University biologist

"It is already too late to avoid mass starvation."
-- Denis Hayes, chief organizer for Earth Day

Except everything I post checks out. Care to cite anything that doesn't?
