March 2015 and first quarter of year warmest on record;
Arctic sea ice extent smallest on record for the month of March

The globally averaged temperature over land and ocean surfaces for March 2015 was the highest for the month since record keeping began in 1880. The year-to-date (January–March) globally averaged temperature was also record high.

Hopefully we can stop with the "but the earth stopped warming in blah, blah, blah year" now.

The point here is, it has not stopped warming.

What my real fear now has become, we've gone past the point of no return, we're screwed, but there isn't quite the quality of data to prove it satisfactorily to the still skeptical people, the deniers, yet even though we're beyond it.

I'm not entirely certain you understand what an incredibly stupid comment that is. Yes, the planet has had more CO2 and it's been hotter, but not in recent history and certainly not with the global human population at the current levels.

It would be like saying the state of California has gone through bigger droughts so everything is going to be okay and not to worry about it. Well, no, that's a stupid comment.

If we've gone past the point of no return and we're already screwed, wtf does it matter? Why are you afraid of their denial?

I stay out of these debates, even though I am succumbing to temptation now, because I truly believe we are powerless to do anything to change the world's weather, climate, etc. There are too many variables in play. Too many countries do not care, think China. And...

Biblical eschatology does not mention global warming until after the Great White Throne Judgment. Then God destroys the earth by fire. That is over 1K years from now.

Pay attention to the Mideast. That is where the final signs, for our generation, are to be discerned.

Regarding science matters, you'd be better served by reading a physics book as opposed to the "good book". The sun has about 5 billion years left; earth will go kaput when it begins to enter "red giant" stage.

Religion can give you personal peace, but unfortunately has no effect on the process of nuclear fusion or gravity.

When you have a relationship with the Christ, and I believe I do, then the path is to see all from His perspective. It is of course a work in progress for the pilgrim. It is all about receiving life and increasing awareness.

Eternal life is not about time. Time and space become one, or so the scientists here speak, it is receiving an endless supply of life.

Paul. Here is a more credible statement. "After a lengthy delay it appears the earth is warmin again."

I don't think denying the empirical observations is useful. When it's been said for a decade that the temperature isn't increasing because it wasn't is denial ism at its finest.

When my wife is sleeping I say she is sleeping. When she wakes up it doesn't mean that she wasn't sleeping or that saying she was sleeping isn't incorrect. A little honesty. Just because the Holocaust isn't going in right now doesn't mean it didn't happen.

You can relax, Pail. We are not past a point of no return. We are not screwed. Indeed, we could reverse globak warking by next year with a few billion dollars and aircraft. But since Geoengineering is being ruled out, not even the most ardent alarmist actually believes that the end is anywhere near.

As it stands, human population, longevity and health continues to improve. Look at it this way: when weather and climate get tk the point where people start dying and stuff then we can start to consider how bad is. But since the warmer it gets the more people are around andiving. Longer an healthier and larger then I can't see how screwed we are with it. M

I read what is posted. Nothing more, nothing less.

If a person is attempting to post "ironically" or "sarcastically" and yet the post is taken at face value as opposed to subtextually, then it is the fault of the writer, not the reader.

well, february 2014 was the coldest feb on record here, and march 2015 was the coldest march on record. Winter lasted 5 months, starting 3 weeks early, and spring started late. Temps were about 6 degrees celsius below 'normal' whatever that is. So I'm not too worried about global warming.

As for your drought, at some point you guys stopped building dams to store water, but your population has continued to increase. Now you're even taking dams out. That isn't going to help...

If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme. Otherwise he'd already be dead.

Enough of the red herring. Tell me when I ever argued that the globe is cooling.

I said globak warming paused. When something stops calling it doesn't mean that it is gaining altitude. And when the earth stops warming it doesn't mean it is cooling.

The warming paused for almost twenty years. Any warming was statistically insignificant. .02 Celsius over 18 years doesn't make me shit my pants at how drastically it is heating.

I stopped growing taller in about 1992. Must mean I shrank a foot since then, right?

================
Nationally, it's been one of the warmest winters on record
Doyle Rice, USA TODAY 11:09 a.m. EST February 17, 2015

While it's been a rough winter so far for people in the north-central and northeastern U.S., both December and January were actually warmer than average across the country overall.

The U.S. is having its sixth-warmest winter on record, according to data from the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), which has records back to 1895.

For the first two weeks of February, while chilly weather enveloped the northeastern U.S. and record snow buried New England, practically the entire western half of the nation was seeing phenomenal, record warmth.

How warm? So far this month, there have been 4,074 records set for warm temperatures —- mostly in the West — and only 236 records for cold temperatures, the NCDC reported.
====================

But hey, it probably snowed near you.

Negative. You are making false equivalencies.It isn't warming meant it wasn't warming. It didn't mean it was cooling. Period.

If that's the best you have then you aint got much. Fact is Fact no matter how it is characterized.

Yep. Fact is we have recently had record low Arctic ice and record warm years globally, but NOT the reverse.

>When something stops calling it doesn't mean that it is gaining altitude.

Right. But when something continues climbing - just more slowly than it was climbing before - it's also not correct to say "it stopped climbing" just because it's not climbing as fast as you expected it to.

>The warming paused for almost twenty years.

Warmest years with anomaly:
2014 .69C
2010 .66C
2005 .65C
1998 .64C

If you really want an actual pause backed up by empirical measurements (rather than political spin) go back to 1943. From 1943-1966 there was a real pause, backed up by the data. Over 20 years!
