		<description>It seems that CO2 goes up and down during the year.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://wmbriggs.com/blog/2008/04/21/co2-and-temperature-which-predicts-which/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;William M. Briggs&lt;/a&gt; says there is reason to think that CO2 lags temperature by about a year.</description>

		<description>Joseph: ok, I know little of statistics.  But have various questions:  What are you using to get temperature?  What exactly are you saying?  I was under the impression that CO2 emissions have gone in only one direction: up.  Whereas temperature goes up and down.  Why would temperature go down when the rate of CO2 increase goes down, and what does this mean for CO2 sensitivity?</description>

		<description>Hi. How would you address my &lt;a href=&quot;http://autismnaturalvariation.blogspot.com/2008/06/anthropogenic-global-warming-is.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;residual correlation analysis&lt;/a&gt;? Specifically, I&#039;ve found that temperature fluctuations lag cummulative CO2 emission fluctuations by roughly a decade throughout the last 150 years. I can say this with statistical confidence and then some.</description>

		<description>Rick:  I&#039;m referring just to the UAH and RSS data, a graph of which I &lt;a href=&quot;http://wattsupwiththat.wordpress.com/2008/02/06/uah-satellite-data-for-jan08-in-agreement-with-rss-data/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;already linked to&lt;/a&gt;.

Looks inconclusively noisy to me.  You could probably argue all manner of trends.</description>

		<description>This pretty well sums it up.. global warming is a manufactured crisis. 

Rob: What satellite data? Please provide a link. I thought global temperature had stayed even or slightly decreased in the last ten years. It&#039;s also interesting that the past few months have been cooler than normal on a global scale at about the same time the sun decided not to get the next cycle cranked up when scientists predicted it would.</description>

		<description>Patrick:  Sorry your comment was smitten.  Good question.

That warming is happening: satellite data that showed a convincing trend.  Maybe we&#039;ll have this in ten years or so.

That it is caused by human activity:  more tricky as we only have one planet so it&#039;s unprovable.  I&#039;d be convinced if there was unprecedented warming, I don&#039;t think we&#039;ve seen that yet.  Better understanding of the climate would help a lot, e.g. if climate models starting making accurate predictions.</description>

		<description>The idea that carbon dioxide drives climate just can not be reconciled with the historic record.  It is possible, even likely that a temperature increase will produce a rise in CO2 levels but the converse on which the entire panic is base is supported by the underlying data.  

To put it in simple terms, in the past much higher CO2 levels did not cause large scale warming so why would anyone expect todays modest levels to have some big effect.</description>
