| Global warming to pick up in next two years | |
| 2015-09-15 | |
 [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Man-made global warming is set to produce exceptionally high average temperatures this year and next, boosted by natural weather phenomena such as El Nino, Britain’s top climate and weather body said in a report on Monday.“It looks very likely that globally 2014, 2015 and 2016 will all be amongst the very warmest years ever recorded,” Rowan Sutton of the National Centre for Atmospheric Science, which contributed to the report, told journalists.

| #14 Rain is another mechanism that the earth uses to shed surface heat. When water evaporates it grabs latent heat from its surroundings. The water vapor rises and condenses to form clouds and rain which releases that latent heat. But now that heat is above the bulk of the insulating atmosphere where it then radiates out into space. |

| #13 Iblis, as long as it forwards the liberal agenda that is. |

| #12 El Nino is a (maybe the) mechanism by which the Earth's climate sheds accumulated heat. The bigger the El Nino, the more heat that is lost from the climate system to space. But this simple fact is clearly much too dangerous for public consumption. |

| #11 According to Joe Bastardi at Weatherbell, El Ninos typically cause a short-lived rise in temps followed by a greater and much longer decrease. Expect a lot of ululating from the usual suspects over the rise followed by much hand-waving and denial. |

| #10 The sort of prediction one only makes when one is convinced there will be no repercussions for being spectacularly wrong. |

| #9 If global warming picks up, does that mean global cooling will slow down? |

| #5 Don't spend any money on Developing any Third world countries, just send it to the UN for more wine and cheese. Why waste good money on developing countries and lets spend it instead on less plastic containers and no more Coal or Atomic Power plants. And get rid of all the cars and put plugs in the cows ass. Make Al Gore rich. The UN will tell us what to do and we all can be more like Mozambique. Ask Nancy Pelosi and Hussein if you have any questions. Its all about Hope and Change. |

| #2 Alarmist, but IMO nothing really new as I've said before that any so-called "MINI ICE-AGE" is at best an INTERIM OR TEMPORARY COLD PERIOD/HIATUS [ the Great Asia-Pacific "Slushy"] IN THE LARGER PICTURE ON STEADILY INTENSIFYING SOLAR OR SUN-LED HEATING OF THE EARTH THRU 2050 IFF NOT THE ENTIRE 21ST CENTURY. Again, the greatest single threat from our mighty OWG-NWO Govts-Perts consensus on GWCC + Related is that THERE IS NO CONSENSUS. |

| #1 Actually, I just got new woolies and have an affinity for fire places and cool weather. I may want it to cool down some instead. |
