NASA: new record 12-month global temperature will be set in 2010

[wtmusic]

"NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) has released a draft paper 'Current GISS Global Surface Temperature Analysis.' It is a must read for warming junkies, but, as James Hansen notes in an e-mail, 'it is too long for popular use.' So Hansen offers 'some of the main conclusions,' as well as a description of a rather shocking hack of the GISS website (all of which is reprinted below). The first conclusion is:

Contrary to popular belief, global warming has not stopped nor has the rate of warming even slowed down in the past decade (Figure 21).

The paper predicts a new record 12-month global temperature record, and says the calendar year (2010) is likely to set the global surface temperature unless “El Nino conditions deteriorate rapidly by mid 2010 into La Nina conditions” . NASA notes:

This new record temperature will be particularly meaningful because it occurs when the recent minimum of solar irradiance (http://www.pmodwrc.ch/pmod.php?topic=tsi/composite/SolarConstant) is having its maximum cooling effect.

We. Are. Running. Out. Of. Time.

1. Anybody who doesn't believe Gobal Warming is real, go buy some coastal property

Right fucking now.

2. Let's see if I can predict the "skeptical" response

"These people can't predict next week's weather. What makes them think they can predict a whole year in advance?"

3. Yep, I predicted this:

I suspect this decade will be yet another one where temperatures rise again, and then they'll level off around the 2015s. Then rise again, etc.

4. Ugh, fucking denialists using "FOIA" to hack peoples accounts. Fucking disgusting.

6. No kidding.

What is their fucking problem? Do they still really think there's a conspiracy, or they just can't admit they're wrong? :grr:

[joshcryer]

7. They're delusional. They look for any small thing to prove the conspiracy.

They're as bad as NASA conspiracy guys.

9. At least the NASA conspiracy guys are entertaining

I'll take the Face on Mars over the Face on James Inhofe any day.

11. Love it!

"the Face on James Inhofe" :rofl:

5. Volcanoes. Yeah, that's it.

You scientists wanna say it's all my fault. Well it's not my fault. It's volcanoes. And solar flares. You guys think you're so smart. You think the sun's always the same, but it changes, see. It pulses. And that causes volcanoes, see. This happens all the time. It happened 6000 years ago. That's what killed all the dinosaurs. So there's nuthin'to worry about, see? You science quys think you can scare us and we'll give you all our money, but it's not working, see? Lalalalala, I can't hear you.
