Measurements demonstrate that they are wrong.<br /><br />The average global temperature trend has been flat since 2001. No amount of spin can rationalize that the temperature increase to 2001 was caused by CO2 increase but that 25.9% additional CO2 increase had no effect on the average global temperature trend after 2001. <br /><br />Without human caused global warming there can be no human caused climate change.<br /><br />Average GLOBAL temperature anomalies are reported on the web by NOAA, GISS, Hadley, RSS, and UAH, all of which are government agencies. The first three all draw from the same data base of surface measurement data. The last two draw from the data base of satellite measurements. Each agency processes the data slightly differently from the others. Each believes that their way is most accurate. To avoid bias, I average all five. The averages are listed here. <br /><br />2001 0.3473<br />2002 0.4278<br />2003 0.4245<br />2004 0.3641<br />2005 0.4663<br />2006 0.3930<br />2007 0.4030<br />2008 0.2598<br />2009 0.4022<br />2010 0.5298<br />2011 0.3316<br /><br />A straight line (trend line) fit to these data has no slope. That means that, for over a decade, average global temperature has not changed. If the average thru September, 2012 (0.3526) is included, the slope is down. <br /><br />See, with 88% accuracy, what really caused the warm up during the 20th century and what caused it to stop warming at http://climaterealists.com/index.php?tid=145&linkbox=trueDan Pangburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898549182266117774noreply@blogger.com
