Read why Global Cooling does not exist

A lot of denialists claim global cooling. I won’t say which ones, as quite frankly they’re crackpots and in my opinion intellectually and morally bankrupt as they’re holding back the rest of us from saving the planet (from ourselves, you’ll note).
ClimateFeedback over at Nature.com has a really good post about why this is a furphy.
Skeptical Science posts on this also, here, showing:
Meanwhile, the very excellent Greenfyre has a really funny satirical post on how cherry picking data can give you any result you want. He follows the denialist’s way of cherry picking and comes up with the following graph for May 2008.
With global temperatures dropping below freezing by the end of May we undoubtedly experienced huge crop failures and mass starvation.
Things got worse with temperatures continuing to plummet to -80 C by the end of June. Obviously by this point humanity and most life on earth was dying off. Humans undoubtedly went extinct in early July, and by mid to late July Earth was a frozen, lifeless ball comparable to Neptune.
I checked my idea against the ‘Denier Climate Theory Credibility Score’:
- Did I cherry pick unrepresentative locations and trivially short time spans? Check!
- Did I misrepresent the data I used? Check!
- Did I misuse analytic tools to get the results I wanted? Check!
- Did I not cite sources for data, methods, etc? Check!
- Did I dismiss the real science as flawed, corrupt or distorted rather than deal with it honestly? Not yet, but I will.
You see, the one flaw was how had this had been kept from everyone? How is it that summer 2008 never came and we went extinct instead, yet there was no mention of it in the main stream media?
Going back to the Denialosphere I quickly had my answer, a global conspiracy!
Obviously meteorologists and weathercasters would continue to claim that summer was coming because who needs a weatherman if you already know each day is just going to get colder? They were just trying to ensure their funding and jobs.
