If we've met I don't recall the occasion. Welcome to HotWhopper. You may call me Sou. Or Ms Sou if that makes you less uncomfortable. <br /><br />I'm not sure where you think you read the word "catastrophic". Perhaps you are confusing our fine establishment for WUWT. (Can't think why - they are chalk and cheese.)<br /><br />Your opinion about global warming is noted. Misguided, not consistent <a href="http://news.stanford.edu/news/2013/august/climate-change-speed-080113.html" rel="nofollow">with science</a>, but noted. By the way, I suggest in future you use the Oxford English definition of <a href="http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/stable" rel="nofollow">this word</a>.

Perhap...I'm happy to put a name to my comments. Perhaps the owner of this blog could follow suit?<br /><br />I was amused to see that in trying to de-bunk a comment about the lack of warming since 1997, you use a graph which shows plenty of warming since 1880. In fact, the 2 datasets you use in your illustration show warming of 0.07 and 0.04 deg C/ decade since 1997. Whether or not such a precise level of warming is exactly caused by the planet's 6 billion human beings, it hardly represents "catastrophic" warming, and can rightly be described as "stable". Not many 17-year periods have a smaller trend, either up or down, unless you carefully select them by looking at the graph.<br /><br />You correctly point out that since 1997, only 2 years have been colder. Since 1998, only 2 years have been hotter. Therefore 11 out of the last 15 years have been within the variation of that single year, also implying that there's not much change in annual temperatures since the late 90'sR Barracloughnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-13694550991100144772014-01-12T10:26:43.475+11:002014-01-12T10:26:43.475+11:00Dear Anonymous,

And, indeed, as Watts has. In other circles the Protocols of the Elders of Zion is similarly legendary.<br /><br />"Mythical" is more appropriate, except for Watts, who is, believe it or not, a real person.

Then, from 23rd to 27th: hovering about normal. Then, while other ice breakers were getting problems, new 'heat' there rising to anomalies of +10° C or over. Apart from from a cooler day 2nd of January that continued first week of the new year.<br /><br />Revisionists will never look at this. Too inconvenient. Too hard on the hare brains to understand something about, e.g., wind, ice pack let alone Ekman. Or why there is a bit more sea ice around Antarctica in the first place. <br /><br />There's irony in mirrors.<br /><br />cRR Kampenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07571285063752477448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-15678378291181159982014-01-10T22:34:16.757+11:002014-01-10T22:34:16.757+11:00Indeed.

They have no grounds for rejecting the science so they are forced to hash, flog and rehash the same tired denier memes over and over again and then repeat. This week WUWT even revisited the stolen emails. It's four years or so since deniers were found to be barking up the wrong tree on that score.<br /><br />Science deniers haven't been able to fabricate fresh myths in years unless you count Russian steam pipes causing global warming, or sudden outbreaks of UHI disease at remote airports. I guess they picked on this particular ship rather than other ships and ferries that have been trapped by ice in recent years because it carried a scientific expedition.<br /><br />So predictable, that lot, aren't they.Souhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818999735123752034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-56894742644899304902014-01-10T21:33:51.669+11:002014-01-10T21:33:51.669+11:00"By my count Anthony Watts has now posted mor..."By my count Anthony Watts has now posted more than twenty articles about the Australasian Antarctic Expedition"<br /><br />When scientists who promote global warming have their ship trapped in polar ice in the summertime, you have to expect more than average coverage of the story. This is not something unique to WUWT.. the entire blogosphere has been making the most of this ironic spectacle. Whether you like it or not, Turney's summer of angry ice will become legendary in the sceptical community.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
