    Really? Yow. I look at that and it sure looks clear to me that the
    trend is pretty much upward over the last century. Although there's
    plenty of year-to-year and even decade-to-decade variability, the
    1950's seem to be right in the middle of that century-long trend.


    Right... its trending upward (by less than a degree) after having
    first trended downward for awhile, but before that upward, then of
    course preceeded by a bit of downward.... lather, rinse, repeat.
    Its cyclical, and its not driven by man's actions.

    Your question wasn't about cyclicity, the size of the trend, or about
    man's actions. Your question was "was there global warming in 1953?"
    Steve gave a pointer to the instrumental record and the answer to the
    question you asked is yes. Now you're changing your story and acting
    like the question you asked wasn't the question you asked. Dude, it's
    time for you to man up. You can argue about the cause, or what should
    or shouldn't be done, or what'll happen next, but only nut jobs look
    at the past data and say that there's no trend. Don't be a nut job.

    After reworking the faulty algorithm, we find that the 1930s was the
    hottest decade on record...

    the earth is currently undergoing a cyclical warming trend. It will
    trend downward again, too, regardless of what Al tells us and

    Looks like the War had a temporary impact. I remember seeing the fires &
    smoke from the bombing of Rotterdam oil refineries which must have been
    over 150 miles away.

    Right. It *is* thought the war had a temporary impact. Although CO2
    was increasing, war-related particulates (e.g., the smoke you saw) and
    aerosol pollutants increased even more. Particulates and aerosols
    block out some of the solar radiation so the net effect was transitory
    cooling. So this is more evidence that human-related activities (in
    this case, war) can affect global temperatures.

    Dude, you're exact question was this: "Did they have global warming in
    '53, too?"

    Anyone can look just a few posts up the thread and see it. Steve
    answered your question. Now you're shucking and jiving cause he
    answered the question you asked, not the question you think you asked.

    If you don't think of it as man-made, you can't use it as a tool for
    social change. If you don't understand that the leftist hysteria re:
    man-made global warming is a strategy to bring about social change
    that has nothing to do with the weather, YOU are the nut job. Sure,
    the earth is currently undergoing a cyclical warming trend. It will
    trend downward again, too, regardless of what Al tells us and
    regardless of what you or I do.

    Yow. You think the -->temperature record<-- is a leftist hysterical
    plot. That settles it. You're a nut job.

    Right... its trending upward (by less than a degree) after having
    first trended downward for awhile, but before that upward, then of
    course preceeded by a bit of downward.... lather, rinse, repeat.
    Its cyclical, and its not driven by man's actions.

    Your question wasn't about cyclicity, the size of the trend, or about
    man's actions. Your question was "was there global warming in 1953?"
    Steve gave a pointer to the instrumental record and the answer to the
    question you asked is yes. Now you're changing your story and acting
    like the question you asked wasn't the question you asked. Dude, it's
    time for you to man up. You can argue about the cause, or what should
    or shouldn't be done, or what'll happen next, but only nut jobs look
    at the past data and say that there's no trend. Don't be a nut job.

    I didn't ask the question 'has the earth shown a warming trend?'... I
    asked if there was global warming in '53. For you to see the subtle
    difference, you have to understand that 'global warming' in today's
    usage implies the unstated 'global warming CAUSED BY MAN'.
