Isn t the Earth actually cooling?

Posted at: 2015-03-12 
Sadly the denier point of trying to make claims about "Global" climate change by referencing regional weather, usually the US in Winter, is an old and worn out ploy that seems to fool few, but those who want to be fooled.

Of course had you in this "research and going onto many different sites" looked at the global data you might have found the massive hole in these cooling claims.

The simple fact that 2014 is (on the year to date data) currently the warmest year on record warmer even than 1998, a year which was boosted by by the strongest El Nino of the last 100 years. 2014 had, by comparison, only the beginnings of an average El Nino, yet with only 2 months to go, has been even warmer.

So I guess it comes down to whether you want to take the word of pretend geologists like jimbo

or the actual data http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global/201...

The sad thing about jims answer is he seems to not even understand how he is demonstrating his own lack of understanding of what is being asked as he waxes on about long term core cooling that happens on time scales that are pretty much irrelevant to the current issue of climate change.

If jello knew the first thing about science he would know that Putin has dissolved the over 200 year old Russian academy of science, which has placed the Russian scientific community into chaos, so we may indeed see more denier comment from Russian scientists which will have about the same credibility as Putin's claims he is not invading Ukraine.

P.S. I wonder if jello still claims the top of Everest is the same atmospheric pressure as Mars as he once did on this site, sadly this guy demonstrates his own lack of understanding of even basic science.

Of course before Putin took this action the Russian academy had a pro AGW stance and many of it's scientists had either done their own research or collaborated with international groups on papers on climate change

Despite the falsehoods some in here will state and the propaganda you read online, no the planet is not cooling. Surface temperatures, on the other hand, are warming at a slower rate due to what is known as the PDO and associated ocean currents. Scientists thus far have not been able to pinpoint where exactly that excess heat is being stored in the PDO cycle but, according to observations taken from satellites, the heat is currently in the system and remaining there.

As you can see temperatures have continued to warm. Most data sets even show warming during a neutral or negative PDO cycle.

PDO Index: http://jisao.washington.edu/pdo/img/pdo_...

ENSO Index: http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/enso/mei/ts...

The next rapid phase of warming, more rapid than now, will occur when the PDO turns positive again which affects the ENSO. This usually last somewhere between 20 and 30 years. Thus far it has been about 16 years since it went from positive to negative which occurred in the largest ENSO on record in 1998.

Despite this, 2014 is set to become the warmest, or near warmest, year on record and all the warmest years on record have occurred in 1998 or later in all data sets.

As a geologist, I can assure you it is cooling, certainly over geologic time periods. We are much colder than we were 10 million years ago, 100 million, a billion etc. The earth is a giant insulator and still retains some original heat and it also has some radioactive decay, but yes, the earth is cooling. The earth's magnetic field are theorized to be from convection currents in the liquid outer core which are a consequence of cooling. The mechanisms for plate tectonics are a consequence of cooling. Those who insist the earth isn't cooling aren't geologists IMO or they aren't very good geologists. That doesn't mean we can't have some minor ups and down from the atmosphere but IMO the evidence indicates we have been generally cooling for over 6000 years which was the Holocene Optimum, the warmest period in the current interglacial. It was probably warmer in Minoan period and pretty similar a thousand years ago. It has been generally warming in a minor way for about 300 years since the Little Ice Age.

Added, You will notice the climate clowns don't like actual science. Facts aren't in their wheelhouse. You will also notice that these deniers of science pretend the world is warming in spite of hundreds of years of geologic evidence piled up. They talk about physics yet seem clueless that plate tectonics and our our magnetosphere are products of cooling. When they focus on CO2, they can't see anything else.

No, the recent cold winter weather is in the lower 48, which is less than 2% of the Globe. The temperature of the whole globe is warming, as seen in thermometer and satellite data, and sea level increases. Averages over several years are what count, but 2014 is on track to be the warmest on record. Your article on cooling was a bogus summary of the data.

There is no debate among real scientists that Global Warming has paused and by some estimates the pause has occurred for 18 years. The last ten years of satellite observations looks as if the planet has cooled slightly, but the noise from El-Nino complicates the question of is the globe currently cooling or is it just in some equilibrium state caused by natural variability.

When looking for evidence of global warming, there are many different indicators that we should look for. Whilst it's natural to start with air temperatures, a more thorough examination should be as inclusive as possible; snow cover, ice melt, air temperatures over land and sea, even the sea temperatures themselves. The key indicators of global warming shown below are all moving in the direction expected of a warming globe. http://www.skepticalscience.com/global-c...

Yes you're right, and many Russian Scientists have been saying this for years. The difference between the Russians and NASA, is that NASA gets money specifically to study so-called "global warming". If they prove there's no warming, they get no money. Russians don't have this conflict and are correct at a greater frequency

Looks like it, right? Actually the Global Warming theorists explain that loss of ozone and other effects of Global Warming will cause summers to be hotter and winters to be colder.

However, In my humble little mind, I know the solar system goes through periods of heating and cooling long term, and I suspect we are just in a normal cycle - warmer or colder. It's ok, we'll know the real truth in a couple million years.

If you like confusing statements CO2 and NO are praised as the Earth’s thermostat and are responsible for the reflection of some major solar flares, yes I know anyone can say that, why believe me, simply because it was NASA who made this claim. But the confusion comes when people are insisting CO2 is responsible for Global warming and still want to put a price on Carbon. I am afraid there is a word for this…. ‘SCAM’. And our Governments are buying into this scam, hard to believe they are running the country really. http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/sci...

As reported by Principia Scientific International (PSI), Martin Mlynczak and his colleagues over at NASA tracked infrared emissions from the earth’s upper atmosphere during and following a recent solar storm that took place between March 8-10. What they found was that the vast majority of energy released from the sun during this immense coronal mass ejection (CME) was reflected back up into space rather tha

n deposited into earth’s lower atmosphere.

The result was an overall cooling effect that completely contradicts claims made by NASA’s own climatology division that greenhouse gases are a cause of global warming. As illustrated by data collected using Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry (SABER), both carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitric oxide (NO), which are abundant in the earth’s upper atmosphere, greenhouse gases reflect heating energy rather than absorb it. http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/sci...

“Carbon dioxide and nitric oxide are natural thermostats,” says James Russell from Hampton University, who was one of the lead investigators for the groundbreaking SABER study. “When the upper atmosphere (or ‘thermosphere’) heats up, these molecules try as hard as they can to shed that heat back into space.” http://www.naturalnews.com/040448_solar_...



Check out the jet stream. It's colder behind the trough and much warmer behind the ridge. That's why Alaska is warmer than anywhere in the northern tier of the lower 48. As the Jet stream meanders east this will reverse.

I have been doing research and going onto many different sites about something that has been on my mind. On Tuesday, November 18th, 2014 all 50 states dropped to 32 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. Then I realized something. Lots of people say this has something to do with global warming but then I was like wait: how is this global WARMING when the temperatures in many different places and countries are going down? Then I came across an article that talked about a 30-year cold spell and that the Earth is actually cooling instead of warming. So I m just wondering what do you people think this is?

Note that the core is becoming hotter,but not the lower atmosphere.what is happening is sudden changes and fluctuatuations in temperatures around the planet.the cooling of all states was the direct effect of ice melting in the north(warming north pole).the underground is become warmer but the lower atmosphere has abnormal weather patterns.

no cooling. the planet is still warming.

realize that the USA is about 2% of the earth surface and there will be regional differences while the average of the whole planet is still warming.

get used to it, the climate HAS changed.

No. The Earth is warming, that causes climate change. Some areas actually do get cooler; you have to look at the entire globe to see the warming.

It's something called the SEASONS. I learned about the seasons in grade school. As I recall we used a flashlight shined at a globe. You might want to look into that.

When people refer to climate change, they don't always mean that the Earth is getting hotter. A lot of the time it means that the Earth is going to experience more severe weather.

IT is all BS to cover up the pore global economy. If you talk about the weather you are not complaining about the your lack of money and the economy. It is the global economy that is cooling

there is no global cooling. check nasa or any university library.

2014 is likely another hot breaking year.

if you need to use google search try the site:edu or site:gov filters. it will give you universities and goverment sites like nasa.

Why is it that people who believe all scientists in the U.S. are liberal conspirators are also willing to believe that (unnamed and unenumerated) Russian scientists are correct and not part of a conspiracy?

no

Actually, the regions depend on duration on the sun.

Not according to my Garden, but I am far from the Gulf stream

Global warming is surley happening as warming is not always treated as something getting hot. It means there is something that we have to worry about. Climate is changing drastically and I can tell this as Few years ago I wear jackets and hoodies in November but now I am raomaing in just a Tee. That clearly means something is changing. And the news you are talking about is true but US has a moderate climate and a single day of snowfall cannot decide its getting coller.
