FX is here to tell us about a slight negative trend in winter surface temps in parts of North America and Siberia (boreal, defined as between 30 and 60*N).
He wants us to admit that this outweighs all other evidence of global warming. Says he's dying of brain cancer. What say guys, should we play along out of sympathy? Could be kind of fun, maybe.

Hey, we should lock his account and change his password. And his email address.
Large warmer than normal air pulses progressed from China northward over broad sections of Russia and Siberia throughout the month. These pulses harmonized with persistent high amplitude Jet Stream ridges over Eastern Europe to draw much warmer than average temperatures northward.
By early April, these conditions had translated into 70 degree (Fahrenheit) values for some sections of Siberia, where the annual fire season had an ominous, very early start for the Amur and the Baikal — Russian regions that are typically still locked in ice this time of year.

So one month counts if it is warmer, but 15 years doesn't count because it is not warming!
Science mutherfuckers!!!

NB I make no claim as to statistical significance, appropriateness of 15-year timeframe (that's Jerome's choice), or quality of Excel's linear fit. Just showing the data.
Let me throw in some anecdotal evidence too then. Every month of this year so far has been at least one of the warmest in a century, I'm pretty sure all of them have been in the top 5 at least and at least one of them the warmest in over a century. Also it has rained so little (and I suppose Switzerland has had so little snow) that the Rhine/Waal has dropped to the 2nd lowest level I have ever seen, and the one time it was lower was in a very hot and dry Summer, Spring is usually pretty rainy.
Excellent piece on how the 2°C limit on temperature rise is becoming more and more unattainable with every year, and the many ways governments are failing to get it right.

lol @ the scary predictions comparing the human body to the earth
Seriously guys, if they are using that nonsensical (and you know it is) analogy, you know they are full of shit.

tl;dr: The Antarctic ice sheet is collapsing, which could trigger ten feet of sea rise.

does not mean that dramatic sea level rise happens tomorrow. There is a limit to how fast glaciers and ice sheets can move, and the Science paper emphasizes that the entire process may take several hundred years and possibly as much as a millennium.
Longer than the timescale that matters to politicians (the next election) and to capitalists (enough warning to sell my shares). Therefore, nothing will continue to happen.

Dr. Lennart Bengtsson: 'We cannot yet separate well enough the greenhouse effect from other climate influences.' - 'Although the radiative forcing by greenhouse gases (including methane, nitrogen oxides and fluorocarbons) has increased by 2.5 watts per square meter since the mid-19th century, observations show only a moderate warming of 0.8 degrees Celsius...high values of climate sensitivity, however, are not supported by observations...Thus, the warming is significantly smaller than predicted by most climate models...since there is no way to validate them (models), the forecasts are more a matter of faith than a fact.'

So your retort is that he is saying it is not that bad yet!
LMAO!!!

The science from a well respected award winning climatologist that worked for the IPCC was not accepted because it was "less than helpful" to the climate cause.
Any way you look at it, that is not how science works.
