Global cooling.

[bellisarius]

Well, that's 'climate change' too, right?

Article.

I opened this thread expecting it to be about the grand solar minimum, which would have been a much more intelligent topic than this tripe.

I know when I need some reliable information about the global climate the first person I ask is a hedge fund manager.

“That's not to say that a two-year stretch of cooling means that global warming is a hoax.”


You can stop reading after this.

Investor's Business Daily:

Investor's Business Daily (IBD) is an American "newspaper" (with associated website) that (obviously) covers mostly financial, business, and investment news. Its op-eds are, similarly, chock-full of Ben Steinery along with numerous denialist hit pieces, astroturf, and mouthing off by bottom-of-the-barrel wingnuts (e.g., Brent Bozell) in a way that makes the op-ed pages of The Wall Street Journal look like the Daily Worker.

Their editorial cartoons can get very nutty,[1] and their anti-environmentalism can reach astounding heights.[2] At times, they venture into full-on, balls-out conspiracy theory territory when it comes to global warming, including accusing NASA and NOAA of conspiring to manipulate data[3] and fabricated the now popular denialist talking point that James Hansen is a shill for George Soros.[4] (Oh, can't forget Climategate, of course, they were all over that.) This is even less surprising when you notice that they let lobbyists and PR reps for denialist think tanks like the Heartland Institute and the Competitive Enterprise Institute and experts for hire like Michael Fumento pen their bullshit all over IBD's pages. There's the other usual anti-environmental nonsense as well, including DDT denial and second-hand smoke denial.

both February 1998 and February 2016 were peak El Niño months so the record declines are starting from high peaks

Your link is not "Investors Business Daily" it is a link to the idiotic "rationalwiki" where you got the words you posted without attribution.

Reported.

You couldn't be a bigger bitch if you tried.

Yeah but people who link rationalwiki are asshats.

Yeah but people who link rationalwiki are asshats.

Especially people who post officious rationalwiki quotes like they mean something without identifying the source.

Especially ironic that he is using rationalwiki, the most partisan site on the planet by design to impugn a fairly mainstream source whose partisanship is baked in by appealing to and being written by actual investors which would be self-selecting population of relatively high (financial) net worth individuals.

Remember when IBD claimed that Stephen Hawking would have died if he'd had to live under NHS health care? Quality journalism right there.

People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn't have a chance in the U.K., where the National Health Service would say the life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless.

 

[Feminist_Dazed]

Ish and President Cheeto both fail to understand the difference between climate and weather. Sad!

 

[bellisarius]

Data from NASA and Huntsville. Expecting morons to be able to read is asking far too much.

Why pick February as your start point?

 

[Rokk0n]

Yes there is a difference between all available data and that which MSM chooses to
report.


Anyone who thinks that data released by NASA & other reliable sources is
not analyzed by market strategists, doesn't know anything about investing. That person doesn't have any common sense. Global cooling - there is a hedge fund for that!

Science and reason are its only partisanship. RationalWiki is your friend.

 

[HisArpy]

Are you saying that NASA and Co are now saying the planet is cooling off and we're headed for another ice age?

Fuck that, where's my fur coat? And PETA can suck my balls.

 

[RobDownSouth]

My personal little bitch Queerbait is doing his best to deflect attention away from the fact that NotIshmael posted an "article" that was actually an editorial that used cherry-picked information to support a preconceived conclusion (or "conclussion" in Ish-speak).

 

[von_Bismarck]

Lol. It's the perfect Ismale site.

Overall, we would rate Investors Business Daily Right Biased based on right leaning economic and market positions. We would also give them a High factual rating on strictly investing and market news. However, editorially IBT is clearly a Questionable source with promotion of right wing conspiracy theories and numerous failed fact checks.
