What is the cause of the rapid increase of temperatures since 1980?
This question is what the AGWers (folks that believe man has caused
global warming) call "global warming" but which I call "rapid increase
in temperatures since 1980" (RIITS-1980).  Pronounced "Rits 1980"

The below is an example of GIGO and the absurdity of modeling climate.
If we are to believe the press release, the albedo effect of planting
more trees will increase earth temperatures by 2F, or even 6F at
certain lattitudes.

"Quixote, why are your friends so secretive?"
"Without security we wouldn't have a functioning government,
Sancho."
"Because we need to keep national secrets hidden from the

Here's a list that nobody can dispute because it's from a reputable
publication (Money Magazine / CNN website) not some crank posting from
his basement (Roger Coppock).
Oh--it case anybody wonders--these are SUMMERTIME temperatures not year

By steady-state+zero-sum I mean that the amount of rainfall over the
entire globe is very much a constant (slight increases due to global
warming) coupled with a zero-sum distribution over the globe.
An example is better than a definition.

Over the northern Atlantic Ocean, clouds that often produce heavy rain
storms grew taller and were more frequent when plumes of pollution from
North America or dust from Africa's Sahara Desert were present.
However, when smoke from large fires billowed into the sky over South

Note the temperature differential between San Francisco, California and
San Rafael, which is less than 20 miles away:  91 vers 74 F.  Further
note the other nearby city temperatures.
It's proof of the power of convection--same thing can happen on earth.

WARMEST JUNE IN 127 NORTHERN HEMISPHERE YEARS!!
The fossil fools on this forum have run out of ammunition.
They are not only recycling old failed arguments, but they're
exhuming ancient debunked lies as well.  One sure sign of

A test shows underground CO2 sequestration to be a
very risky and highly impractical scheme.  It would be
simpler and safer, therefore, not to burn the fossil fuels
and create the CO2 in the first place.

What do July 10, 11, 16 & 21 have in common? Each spawned a new
hurricane in the Tropical Pacific Acapulco Hot Spot.
Tropical Depression 3E became Hurricane BUD
Tropical Depression 4E became Hurricane CARLOTTA

Could this be the next tropical "event"?
