Climate Stuff

  • GISS's data says last month was the warmest November in their records: +0.74°C. That's a lot higher than RSS or UAH and perhaps a bit suspicious, or maybe that they have better polar coverage.
  • GISS also said that 2010 was the warmest meteorological year (Dec 1 - Nov 30) in their records: +0.65°C above the 1951-1980 baseline. (2005 is in second place.)
  • If a country is inundated by rising seas, does it still exist?

GISS has the coldest baseline period, so one would expect their measure of temp anomaly to be higher. That doesn't mean they are measuring warmer temps than UAH or RSS

Monopoly rent-seeking is threatened by rising seas.

The people themselves can just move.

Where?

And how would it feel if it were your home being eliminated?

People move all the time, particularly ones in houses by bodies of water with variable water levels.

Being a nation is just a form of monopoly rent.

Only if you insist on maintaining that is there a difficulty.

As with most of what you write, this is bullshit.

So then, you would have no problem moving to Bangledesh tomorrow if you home were being destroyed today?

rhardin: You're another troll only interested in causing trouble, not in a honest contribution to the discussion. You won't be posting here anymore either.

One wonders if there is any sort of study that looks at quality of low-rent partisans on comment boards.

Best,
