In 2008 we learned that deniers only need about 12 months of a cooling trend to start talking about global cooling and I remember the claim that 12 months of cooling from the start of 2007 to 2008 had wiped out over a century of global warming - the drop in monthly values was about 0.7 degrees, which was close to what was typically claimed as the long term trend in those days.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10991158238881697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-64430467956300956872015-11-26T19:26:44.863-05:002015-11-26T19:26:44.863-05:00On first glance Ewert missed the change btw NOAAs ...On first glance Ewert missed the change btw NOAAs GHCN v2 and v3 in 2011.<br /><br />http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/updates_v3/EliRabetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07957002964638398767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-28792525046555617462015-11-26T16:28:55.375-05:002015-11-26T16:28:55.375-05:00This is like something straight out of Denial Depo...<i>This is like something straight out of Denial Depot!</i><br /><br />No Lars, the stuff at Denial Depot is more believable than Prof. Ewert's plot.

This will mean the temperature is dropping as i predicted, starting on December 3 2015, thus making 2016 the coldest year in the last trienium. Extrapolation of the cooling tendency I am predicting leads to 2017 also being cooler than 2015. At that time we must start a campaign to save African elephants from the coming little ice age.
