As for the OP, he only demonstrates his willful ignorance, cold records are already accounted for in the projections, the denial is indeed in telling others that scientists never discussed this before, and what is worse is that people like FX just admitted that he has no time to check what scientists reported on regions still seeing record cold events in a warming world. > **[News | NCAR & UCAR News](https://news.ucar.edu/)** > [@](#): > > AtmosNews takes a lighthearted look at an unexpected analogy, explaining why some people call carbon dioxide (and the other greenhouse gases) the steroids of the climate system. Statistics and extreme behavior are involved, whether we’re talking about baseball or Earth’s atmosphere. NCAR scientist Gerald “Jerry” Meehl explains why. Thanks to Jeff Masters, Anthony Broccoli, and other colleagues who have introduced the “weather on steroids” analogy to the climate science community. That video and many variations on that explanation were reported many times before, and I even posted it before IIRC even in a thread where FX participated. Hey, I have no problem when people decide to show all others what a big willful ignorant they are. ---

The ‘it was cold today, therefore no global warming!’ argument is the stupidest possible argument on the subject, and now you are either being a dishonest little twerp to ignore **Finagle** ’s post, or you literally don’t understand what an average is. ---

The thread is about how global warming is fucking things up. Nobody said there wasn’t any global warming. Don’t be dumb. ---

> [@Finagle](#): > > If you’re willing to base your assessment of current climate \* change \* on a single data point or even a single summer’s, then why weren’t you running around like Chicken Little a year ago? Did you somehow miss last years media frenzy? Over the disastrous global warming caused heat wave? And superstorm Sandy? And the drought? And tornadoes. And the record number of Hurricanes. And how the arctic almost melted away? And the fires? We know global warming is happening because of the heat. And the cold. And the drought. And the flooding. And the storms. And the lack of storms.

This a common problem with idiots: they can’t tell the difference between irony and the lame sarcasm commonly displayed by 13-year-olds. Anyway, **Finagle** got you. I assume you’ll keep bumping this thread with quotes for another five or six pages, though. ---

> [@FXMastermind](#): > > Only a real moron calls somebody a moron. Says the guy that claimed to have me on ignore. 😛 Beside showing all that you only have kindergarten replies, you are only showing all that you can not even reply to what Gerald “Jerry” Meehl explained, the fact is that cold records were still expected while the number of heat records is increasing compared to the cold ones. So listen, just put me on ignore like you told everyone you had me and I can continue to post showing all what a willful ignorant you are, hey, I’m easy. 🙂 ---

So I think at this point FXMastermind is trying to claim that he was just making fun of the global warming deniers? Or… that he was trolling for fun in MPSIMS? I’m really confused here. ---

So there you go. Record heat wave in Alaska this year. Does a summer of record heat in one place prove that the whole Earth is trending warmer? If it doesn’t, then why would a summer of below average temperatures in another place prove that the whole Earth is not trending warmer? ---

[In other news:](http://www.motherjones.com/blue-marble/2013/08/leaked-report-ipcc-fifth-assessment) > [@](#): > > Even though more than a month remains until an official release, Reuters is now reporting on a leaked draft of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Fifth Assessment Report. The report, the first in six years by the international body, is considered the definitive scientific take on climate change (although it is sometimes faulted for being too conservative, and quickly becomes out of date). > > Previous IPCC reports have made news for a variety of reasons. The 2001 report, for instance, declared it “likely” (e.g., a 66 percent probability; explanation here) that most of the observed warming that the planet has seen is caused by humans. The 2007 report upped that assessment to “very likely” (a 90 percent probability); and now, according to Reuters, scientists are giving us a 95 percent confidence in this central conclusion of modern climate research. That appears to be the chief headline that will be emerging from the IPCC this time around. > > Another bombshell reportedly contained in the draft: The IPCC will now label the phenomenon of sea level rise “unequivocal” and increase prior estimates of projected sea level during this century. ---
