Good graph. Shows we have been in the Pleistocene Ice Age for the past 2.5 million years. These are chilly times on earth.

Thanks! We’re on list to glass-in lanai before May. Will still look into gutters though.

Greenland getting warm and probably melting? No worry. Most of the population of Florida would be below sea level.

During the last Interglacial Warm Period (the Eemian) the oceans were 15 to 25 feet higher than today. So more sea level rise is completely natural. We should expect that to happen because we are still thawing out from the Little Ice Age. Fortunately, the Villages is above 60 feet ASL, and we won't have to drive so far to get to the coast.

Buying Greenland WOULD have been a great idea. The US has historically profited when it had a frontier to exploit (and minerals like Lithium and others would have been helpful).

But, those times were NOT caused by MAN and their habit of expelling excessive CO2 gas. Very different situations!

Gee whiz, I wonder why the graph of temperatures today is headed STRAIGHT UP? That could NOT POSSIBLY have anything to do with mankind, CO2 production, and Global Warming?

Didn't Javier play 2nd base for the Yankees in 1975?

Strangely, it is only recently (last 10 years) that Coeur d'Alene has gotten expensive due to re-location by Californians. The Villages have become very expensive in the last 5 years also.

True that! All the world's oceans are raising at an increasing rate. Tell your children NOT to buy Florida coastal property. In fact, due to increasing heat tell them that they would be better off in North Carolina.

You decide. Here is his book ...

PAUSE is in the title of the article, but the "trend" line is negative (or slight cooling) ... The New Pause lengthens to 8 years 9 months – Watts Up With That?

Good question. Can you explain why it went straight down just before it went straight up?

Once again confusing people with facts. Your point does not fit the narrative so it will not be acceptable.
