I don't know, I've seen what temperatures have been in the past decade in Europe and I can tell that it doesn't get any hotter, in fact, it could be getting colder. Can anyone show some statistics supporting the global warming?
Edit:
I know how to google myself but I am asking people to get a little more involved and not lay out facts out of memory. I thought I could make a good discussion on the topic but kept getting hostility for some reason.
> According to different observational records of global average annual near-surface (land and ocean) temperature, the last decade (2008–2017) was 0.89 °C to 0.93 °C warmer than the pre-industrial average, which makes it the warmest decade on record. Of the 17 warmest years on record, 16 have occurred since 2000. The year 2017 was one of the world’s three warmest years on record together with the years 2016 and 2015.
> The average annual temperature for the European land area for the last decade (2008–2017) was between 1.6 °C and 1.7 °C above the pre-industrial level, which makes it the warmest decade on record. In Europe, 2017 was colder than the previous 3 years.
What exactly is "the pre-industrial average"? does that correspond to the Little Ice Age? why is that a good reference point, or baseline for comparison?
100-200 years is pretty fast when compared to how slowly climate moves in one direction or the other. Also those 100-200 years are the same in which human instrialization took place.
Measuring temperature in a global scale is a very daunting task and it is open to interpretations by negationists and reactionaries, but you can look for pictures of the last 30 years in the North Pole. The Arctic is going to be open to navigation soon.
You can also ask the climate experts, we have to rely on them, and the vast majority of them are predicting a similar effect.
First you yourself start talking about "the last decade", and now one or two centuries isn't long enough.
You also say you think the last decade seemed colder, the reply you got was that 16 of the 17 hottest years since recording began were after 2000. But you ignore that part of the reply.
You are working for the forces that want to stop our mitigation of the problem, you are the enemy.
People who are stirring up discussions and ignore the answers have an agenda, they are trying to make it look like there is still serious disagreement about the existence and causes of climate change, because they want to hinder mitigation.
It is no use to try to win them over, that's not why they're arguing.
Calling someone "the enemy" doesn't help people decide who to believe. Belief about scientific topics like global warming should be based on facts not in-group/out-group thinking.
