A couple weeks back, cold weather was proving anthropogenic climate change from you refusing to go vegan and keep your home set to 59F. Now
Warm weather helping experts prove climate change
Last Tuesday was the warmest recorded day in February for Cincinnati, with temperatures reaching upward of 79 degrees.
This breaks the 72-degree record set two years prior, according to the National Weather Service.
This past week, winter weather across the nation has undergone abnormal patterns. Many eastern states reached temperatures well into the mid-70s.
These warm winters are increasingly becoming the norm. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 2017 was the third-hottest year on record, with 2015 being the second and 2016 being the first.
With current EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt decreasing regulations on fossil fuel industries, some are becoming more concerned about climate change issues. Man-made climate change has become a divisive political topic and some are reluctant to relate these patterns to global warming.
Do you know what this proves? Nothing. It neither proves that it’s mostly/solely man caused nor mostly/solely natural. It doesn’t prove that it could be any percentage. It simply proves warming. Which has happened many times during the Holocene (and other points during Earth’s history). But, it doesn’t matter to Warmists, because they have a non-science Narrative
As global carbon emissions continue to rise, so does the correlation with rising temperatures.
“Global carbon production is higher than ever, and we’re not stopping — we’re emitting more than ever,†Ray said.
First, if you’re writing “carbon emissions”, you’ve left the realm of science and gone to politics. It’s carbon dioxide. Second, what did previous warm periods correlate with? They weren’t driving fossil fueled vehicles back during the Roman Warm Period. This is all unhinged, cult-like dogma from people who mostly won’t give up their own use of fossil fuels and reduce their own carbon footprints.
Cold weather: “Weather is not climate, you denialist ninnies!”
Warm weather: “ZOMG THIS TOTALLY PROVES CLIATE CHANGEZZ!!!!!!!”
Let’s not forget that US contributions of CO2, insignificant as it is as a “greenhouse gas”, have been DROPPING, unlike most of the rest of the planet.
Are we supposed to force other countries to drop theirs? Wouldn’t that be evil imperialism?
Which does the Loony Left (BIRM) prefer?
Um, no. Zachriel pointed out long ago the use of “carbon” in this context is a synecdoche, a figure of speech in which a part is made to represent the whole, for example, “Houston won the World Series last year”. Of course, “Houston”, a city in Texas, did not the win the Series (look another synecdoche!), but the Astros, the major league team (another synecdoche) there did.
Are you genuinely puzzled seeing “carbon emissions” instead of carbon dioxide (CO2) or methane (CH4) emissions?? Really?
Willful ignorance is repeating the same thing, when you know the truth.
Tell us more about the Roman WArm Period. LOL.
It’s been cold as a witch’s teat here in the southwest. Must be an ice age coming. Or La Nina.
It’s been 40 degrees above average in the Arctic. In February.
My mistake. Sorry. It’s 50 degrees warmer than average, not 40. My apologies.

No one observation “proves” that CO2 is causing the Earth to warm. It’s the consistent accumulation of evidence that makes it reasonable to accept that CO2 is causing the current period of rapid warming.
It’s also reasonable to assume that since there is no evidence that C02 causes warming in a convective atmosphere (like the one we have on Earth) that the ignorant angry little black fella is full of shit.
William Teach: First, if you’re writing “carbon emissionsâ€, you’ve left the realm of science and gone to politics.
It’s a synecdoche, a type of metonymy.
William Teach: It simply proves warming. Which has happened many times during the Holocene (and other points during Earth’s history).
The Earth’s surface is warming. We know that anthropogenic emissions are the primary cause; from first principles (Arrhenius, On the Influence of Carbonic Acid in the Air upon the Temperature of the Ground, London, Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science 1896), and from observations of the mechanisms involved (Meehl et al., Combinations of Natural and Anthropogenic Forcings in Twentieth-Century Climate), and from energy balance models (Journal of Climate 2004. Also Huber & Knutti, Anthropogenic and natural warming inferred from changes in Earth’s energy balance, Nature GeoScience 2011.)
z,
You are back. And, you are wrong.
The kiddiez actually posted that a few weeks ago on another site.
Can you spot the error(s)?
*The kiddiez never replied.
Notably, we cited three scientific studies. You waved your hands.
So kiddiez, can the Earth only gain or lose heat radiatively?
Is that based on your flawed understanding of the basic physics of heat flow?
Kiddiez?
Wait, I thought that was caused by global cooling….settled science. https://realclimatescience.com/2018/02/science-cold-is-the-new-hot/
