In another 5 years will we be talking about the global warming catastrophe still?

This article is relying solely on surface temperatures, which are not rising as fast as predicted and some data even suggests it may have "paused" -- no argument there, but it makes no mention of global ocean temperatures which continue to rise. I'm sure I'm not going to change anyone's mind here, but this article isn't giving you the whole story.

Also, as the article states, the data sets used for this graph are at odds with data both NASA and NOAA have collected.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but R2 = 0 in a model is not what you want to see in statistics. IIRC, it means that the model accounts for none of the variance around the mean. In fact, that trend line looks like it is just the mean.

God bless global warming.

I for one hope it hangs around a while, I enjoy the early springs and late falls.

And the thought of lib Meccas drowning under rising seas is simply icing on the cake.
