**Heating degree days** Here's a chart that gives a good indication of the 'warmth' of the weather. We have been getting warmer since we pulled out of the very cold 1800's. The recent warm cycle gave us a break in the heating bills, and now we are going back to the 1800's. Or, you could look at the chart anyway you want to.

@hasmis This is a perfect example of how uneducated you are on the topic... wow...

A HDD is a measure of the amount of energy it would take to keep a space warm... Lower HDD represents **hotter** weather..

Literally what you posted is proof of global warming, but because you completely misunderstood the graph you thought you were cherry picking something that debunked global warming... funny that.

It is so bizarre to see someone actively cherry pick to support an absurd scientific conclusion and even when they realize they were reading the chart upside down and proves they were wrong you will, I am certain, continue to try to justify your nonsense.

@freemo Ok, so you are weighting the main part of the graph over the end. I don't discuss charts because they are a great debate. The key here is that the end correlates exactly with the end of Arctic ice volume curve. Because of the general vehemence, I just present these charts, and I go with charts that were once accepted generally, before they turned bad.

@hasmis No I am saying the **entire** graph shows very clearly that the earth has consistently went through global warming from 1900's onward. The begining middle and end all show consistent HDD decreaing (which is equivelant to consistent warming since the 1900s).

@freemo An excellent point, but one that wasn't followed in the early days of fighting for global warming. At that time, the end of the curve was very important, mainly the 'hockey stick' inflection. I am being intellectually honest and am perfectly qualified to show long-standing geophysical charts.
The world is turning cold, as part of cycles that have gone on since the beginning. I consider two predictions to be solid -- that the Pacific equatorial belt will not warm up this year or next, and that the UK will get the full Arctic flow that was over Siberia this winter, and was unreported.
Since I am getting some support here, I will maintain a Scientific argument (according to the rules of the Scientific Method) and will provide entertainment for the masses. I get no money, fame, or gravitas by putting out and unpopular hypothesis. I am worried about you popping a vein in your head....

@hasmis The of of the curve is important,a nd it is a hockey stick... that curve however starts around 1900s (industrial era).. so you are far too zoomed in to see it. Which is why, as expected and in total agreement with the claims you see consistent global warming and no hockey stick... get the same graph starting a few hundred years back and it will be quite noticable.

@hasmis Attached is the hockey stick... notice quite clearly it begins around 1900...

This is why its rediculous your arguing for anything in this debate.. you are so extremely uneducated in even the basic statements that its hard to take you serious on any level, and makes you discredit yourself to be this uninformed and yet to still have a strong opinion.

@freemo As a Canadian, the most important point about the hockey stick is the curve of the blade. The shaft is just straight. Using your logic, the shaft is going down before the bend. The original hockey stick of 1999, ends at the first hook.That is what I am talking about on the weight of the end of the curve. The current curve has the hockey stick pointing down.
As for qualifications and intellect, on the Internet, I am a dog. I have no gravitas and cannot be an expert witness in a court of law. I am the King's Fool in these discussions. But what is your role?
