World on course for hottest year since 1880


www.telegraph.co.uk
The world is on course for the hottest year since records began in 1880 after record-breaking temperatures in four of the first six months of the year, according to meteorologists.

It's getting hotter because of this:

Same correlation.

For whatever reason, less sunspots means hotter weather.

Given methane is 25 times more potent than CO2
www.noaanews.noaa.gov...

And given all the high level of methane, and vapours still being released by the Gulf Spill, I wonder if the spill could have anything to do with it?

Or is another hottest year on record, plus natural methane production (already being accelerated by recent warming) just a coincidence? The funny thing is that sudden rises in global temperature, (caused by accelerating methane release) have almost certainly triggered ice-ages in the past i.e. to the point where so much ice is being melted, that it shuts down the gulf stream, and therefore brings a chill to the global weather system.

1880 is when they began recording reliable temperatures.

That's not right is it? The maunder minimum was a period of very few sunspots, which coincided with the mini ice age in the graph you showed. The correlation works the opposite way round from what you said.

Maunder minimum

I shall go check the graph. That might be the wrong one.

thanks for the heads up.

EDIT

corrected.

The last hottest records they claim was when solar activity was lower.

Yup ,.. what Karilla said
I just dont understand why people cannot understand or maybe I should say differentiate the causes of a warmer planet..
The planet is getting warmer
all the glaciers are receeding
what is there to argue

Since when does such a natural source such as a cow cause global warming? THats the most rediculous thing i ever heard...Say it out loud it sounds rediculous.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, can't remember which edition, stated that the civilization on Earth collapsed due to cow burps and farts.

Methane gas is a more potent green house gas than CO2. Combine deforestation for cattle pasturing with the cow burps, you get not just a double whammy, but something more like a quadruple whammy.
