Snow in Louisiana! That's why they say we should call it Global Weirding, instead of Global Warming.

Engineerdude,
I'd like to ask for a
link on this conjecture:
"The Earth has been cooling for the past several years...." from your post #1062. I've recently seen this sort of statement made casually, as if everyone knows about this. Maybe I missed something, but where does this come from? I thought the past decade had been one of the hottest.
I think there has been a slight slowing in the rate of increase of heating (sensible heat--as measured by temperature), but that was during years which saw a large reduction in global ice mass (latent heat absorbed).
Physical State/Latent Heat
The PDO is an interesting topic though, deserving of it's own thread (hint, hint).

But yes, what "cooling" are you referring to when you say the "Earth has been cooling for the past several years...."

p.s. ...and what about my comment on your experiment?
My belief in Global Warming is getting shaky
"CO2 would affect how quickly (or not) the room cools after the heat source is removed. It [CO2] wouldn't affect the temperature of the golfball."
