What exactly don't I get?

How much has it warmed? OK, lets make it easier; how much has it
warmed since 1998?

UAH MSU:
Temperature Variation From Average:
Lower Troposphere:
Global:
December 2009: +0.28 °C
Northern Hemisphere: +0.33 °C
Southern Hemisphere: +0.24 °C

Peak recorded anomaly:
February, 1998: +0.76 °C
Current relative to peak recorded: -0.48 °C

DECADAL TREND:
Global: +0.13 °C
Northern Hemisphere: +0.19 °C
Southern Hemisphere: +0.07 °C

Last update: January 7, 2010

I truly do not see the problem. Plus, there isn't a thing we can do
about it. This is what we call natural variation.

GISS used selection bias to corrupt the historical temperature
record. Can you imagine the uproar if Exxon had done this? Where are
the voices standing up for science? Too embarrassed to speak up?

GISS Global Near-Surface Anomaly:
December 2009: +0.59 °C

Peak recorded anomaly:
January, 2007: +0.87 °C
Current relative to peak recorded: -0.28 °C

Last update: January 17, 2010

And with all the fraud, this is the best warming they can
manufacture? Pathetic.

World's Biggest Emitters Sign Up to Copenhagen Climate Accord

Feb. 1 (Bloomberg) -- China, the U.S. and the 27-nation European Union
signed up to the Copenhagen Accord, giving life to the first
climate-protection agreement that contains numerical goals for all the
biggest greenhouse-gas emitters.

They were joined by Australia, Indonesia, Canada, Japan and India, according
to national governments and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change,
which is compiling the pledges. They had until Jan. 31 to formally back the
accord.

There is this requirement in the US Constitution about the US Senate
ratifying any treaty that the President may sign. Until then, it is
not legally binding.

That graph shows a peak of ice area at about 22 million square kilometers
in 1979 and again in 2008.

Not much of an argument for change, but it is an argument that the area
covered by ice doesn't change much with time.

It is as if to prove a witness didn't commit perjury, Sam quotes the
proven perjurer as gospel truth.

Then he can't figure out why people have a problem with it.

And when you point out to Sam that the ice age ended some 25,000 years
ago and glaciers have been melting since then, he can't see why that
debunks his post hoc argument that glaciers are melting so it MUST be due
to CO2 and it MUST be man made and it MUST be bad.

These illogical consistencies are pointed out time after time to Sam, and
his only reply is to be a damned poser. There is no explanation for his
compulsive and irrational behavior.
