Adding to what I just said......

A few years back the only measurements needed for the global warming discussion was temperature. Now they would like to blame hot, cold, wind, rain, snow, floods, droughts, storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, and all weather events on global warming. So for any meaningful argument sake, they must provide all these numbers accurately. It should not be up to me or anyone else who enjoys the great tool of energy for the purpose of living comfortably. Yet Spot, who has not really said goodbye, wants me to run a landscape business on battery power. "if I learn to adapt, it should have no effect on my bottom line". Ha! Idiot. I will miss him if he decides it's too dangerous to post here due to the possibility of some dude in California flying over to England to rough him up a little over an air temperature disagreement.

Okay...let's consider this line of thought:

What are you averaging? Temperature? Precipitation? Type of prevalent air mass movement? Cloud cover? Temperature variation? The effect of seasons? Air pressure? Wind speed and direction? Surface visual range? Type and frequency of storms?

All of it....and to get those averages accurately there would have to be recording stations like every 20 ft across the globe....and it would STILL be a question of accuracy. Think about the "climate" in your own home, which is regulated by thermostat. I have a well insulated 2004 built home and it can vary 2-3 degrees depending on which part of the house I'm in. How many recording stations in Antarctica? And Greenland?

How do you describe the type and frequency of storms when considering a whole globe?

How do you describe the humidify of the whole globe? Are you including the surface air only? How high is the 'surface' air? What about higher in the troposphere? What about the stratosphere? The mesosphere? The thermosphere? How do you describe a 'top' to the atmosphere?

How about precipitation? The source of that precip is evaporation from some water source. That source could even be plants, such as you get in the rain forests. Do you subtract that from the rain gauge? How could determine how much to subtract? What about virga?

How do you even consider temperature, when that temperature might be of the air, or the ocean, or deep underground, or high in the sky? What is the temperature? Just the surface? What about the typical weather station thermometer located several feet above the surface? It might be located on the roof, or on a post out in a field. What about the temperature underground? How deep? The atmosphere? How high? ALL of these are part of the average temperature of the Earth.

Let's consider your own home thermostat. As you know, the thermostat is a thermometer. But it only knows the temperature at the thermostat itself. It doesn't know the temperature in the attic, the basement, the bedroom with the door closed and the window open, etc.

In other words, it's not even possible to determine the temperature of your house.

Thermostats are simple relay switches. They don't have to be accurate. They are typically located in a hallway where there is good airflow and work well enough for a rough average assuming doors are open, windows, are closed, outside doors are closed, appliances turned off, etc. Like the outside, you must decrease any source of steeper temperature gradients in the home for the thermostat to be an accurate reading of the temperature of the entire home.

Antarctica has a recording station at each station any nation put down there. Even the cruise ships that visit have thermometers on board.

But Antarctica is the size of the United States plus a good hunk of Canada.

You see, even 'climate' is not an easy thing to define quantitatively. It's a purely subjective term. No theory can be built on a subjective term, since it must necessarily start from and be based on a void argument.

No theory, scientific or otherwise, can exist based on a fallacy.

Hence, no branch in science called 'climatology'. There are no theories there. There are nothing but religious arguments there.

All agreed. You are simply making my point better than I did.

For the record, I was thinking 2 meter observations, which is where it will become uninhabitable for mankind.

I think most people would consider glaciers that have an elevation over 10,000 ft. or 3,048 meters that extend further south than the 47th parallel to be a significant variation. Most of what you're saying is needed is being unrealistic.

And since you are saying global climate, this means that if the same points of reference are used then over a period of decades changes in those temperatures can be observed.

Meteorologist have recorded local weather for over a century in which snowfall, rainfall, etc. have been recorded. And since it is global weather that you say I don't think happens, it is only the trend that matters.

Why localized areas won't matter is because the area around the Aral Sea has less rainfall than it did 50 years ago. That sea has about dried up because of human activity. This also slightly increases global temperature.

And GasGuzzler, by observing the different temperatures in your home and comparing those temperatures to the outside temperatures, etc. might be something some of the people in here would find of interest. It might help them to better understand that the global climate also has many regional climates as well and it is the over all net effect that is global warming or cooling. Our planet does have a long and slow cooling period which maybe in the next 1 or 2,000 years might be starting.

Global warming is about one thing - Mean Global Temperature. Not rain fall, not snowfall in the mountains, not the thickness of ice packs or any of the rest of that. Those are separate variables that they have tried to convince you are somehow connected to MGT.

So when I said that I would welcome it (and it's implied threat) he said that I would be crazy because he might bring a gun. He actually believed that I would show up to something like that without a witness. And since several people I know that could act as witnesses are retired cops they carry too. Let him bring a gun. If he showed it he could be arrested or shot. If he didn't he would discover that I NEVER start fights. I just end them.

That is a rather common idea among Environmentalists. I have gone to speeches at Stanford University in which the speaker actually said that to an entire audience composed mostly of Master's degrees and higher. These people who think this believe that if people were being eliminated that it wouldn't include them. Think about that for a minute.
While quite a lot of environmentalists DO want to kill off people, they don't specify who (just so long as its not them...THEY are the 'enlightened' ones).

Satellite observations can actually measure down to cm^2 though it's not necessary since square miles is more than sufficient.

So the Ice Age did not end ? Once again your logic is perfect as your philosophy only allows you to know anything. This is funny because GasGuzzler believes that you know what you are talking about.
