I still hav'nt got an exact answer to my question - If the sun was turned off/disapeared, how long would it take for the Earth to cool down to an average of zero degrees celsius. Seems an easy question of those with a complete understanding of climate  |
What does that have to do with anything related to AGW?

Trouble is the REAL WORLD (thats where I live) is getting cooler - the temperature is not going up like the "hockey stick" graph claimed it would. I want to see some due diligence done before we go off on some economy destroying fancy.

Among my many debates with so-called global warming "skeptics" (oh, how I hate how they refer themselves as one since they clearly are not...), this is by far the most common "rebuttal". It's getting quite old too
Global warming refers only to the rise in
average global temperatures, not localized events. The atmospheric temperature of the Earth has risen by over 1 C over the past 120 years, and is predicted to rise by alot more this century (3-5 C). And they correlate so strongly with CO2 data that it is just plain silly to believe that it couldn't be the cause.
