LATEST GRAPH SHOWS A COOLING WORLD
This report contains the latest graphs of global average temperatures up to 2008, with the corresponding graph of CO2 levels overlaid for comparison. Alarmists are still desparately trying to prove that the world is still warming up, but the evidence is steadily stacking against them.

I'm no alarmist, but I do know that periodic La Nina events in the Pacific Ocean lead to cooling. There was a moderately strong event last year that has managed to keep global temperature below record highs. A 5 year running average is a better measure since it tends to smooth out the oscillations. There is a good chart on my blog.
ReplyDeleteUnless there is a significant volcanic erruption, record global temperatures will be established within the next year or 2.
Have oceans stopped acidifying too?
ReplyDelete@Tim: And who put the acid into the oceans in the first place? Where are the original specifications indicating the recommended level of acidity?
ReplyDeleteTim has brought up the mythical acid oceans argument which is debunked here. I will post this article as a main item shortly - thanks Tim.
ReplyDeleteDerek, I didn't say 'acid ocean'. I said 'acidification', as in the pH is decreasing. I understand that certain rocks dissolve and keep the ocean alkaline (>7 pH), but the relative rate at which these processes happen is the issue. The drop in pH is measurable.
ReplyDeleteBen - CO2 reacts with ocean water to create different compounds, increasing the number of hydrogen ions. We emit a great amount of CO2 that would not otherwise be there. Life forms have evolved at a certain pH level, and rapid changes may affect them. We depend on the ocean, so this will affect us.
