Not true. In fact, the lion's share of the world economy is at stake if we precipitously cap the well--including pretty much every single thing we drive, fly, the crops you eat, the heat that keeps you warm--your job and the jobs of almost all your fellow citizens. YOU are the oil company. They drill at your behest. Because you asked them to--and are willing to pay for their products. To believe otherwise reveals a huge disconnect.

Yeah it's not like we've been told we must spend trillions to stop this non existent problem.
Oh wait, we have

"Conclusion: IEA scenarios are a more realistic projection of the global energy system’s current ‘baseline’ trajectory; showing we are far from RCP8.5 & RCP6.0. World currently tracking between RCP4.5 & lower climate change scenarios - consistent with 1.5˚ to 2.5˚C."

You're welcome to show an actual problem with the argument, as opposed to blaming warming which the empirical data in this case shows is not occurring.

It's so easy to fake things these days, like climate change and the moon landing.

Over the years, it has been determined that many measuring sites in Australia, as elsewhere, have been affected by urban heat islands. Some of those sites have been moved to better locations. This is far more common than sites moving from cooler rural locations to hotter ones. Therefore when temperature records are combined, they need to be homogenized. Here is a description of a typical adjustment made by the Australian BOM:
"An example of the adjustment process
Kerang in northern Victoria is one of the 112 ACORN-SAT locations. The site was moved one kilometre to the north on 18 January 2000, from a location in the town centre near the Post Office to a more open site in parkland.
This site move resulted in a drop in overnight minimum temperatures, particularly in the cooler months. The move, as is common for shifts to more open locations, had a larger impact on clear, calm nights (which are more likely to be cold, especially in winter) than it did on cloudy and windy nights. The adjustment procedure takes this into account (see below), with temperatures from the old site adjusted by 1.0 °C on the coldest nights in June, but only 0.2 °C on the mildest nights.
As a result of the adjustment for the move in 2000, average pre-2000 minimum temperatures were adjusted by approximately 0.5 °C, but extreme low minimum temperatures in the cooler months had a larger adjustment of between 0.9 °C and 1.2 °C. These adjustments result in the observed trends at Kerang being more consistent with other sites in the region."
This is not "a problem with the argument." The argument is ignorant of the basic facts and logic, which happens repeatedly when your all your facts are handpicked and partisan.
Incidentally, these homogenization methods were extensively reviewed by - and improved by - the work of none other than Anthony Watts. I suspect that he would prefer that you stick to facts and logic and not cherry pick data that fits your agenda.

What you posted is, in fact, a problem with the argument made. This is self evident, since you posted an attempt at rebuttal...consisting of an actual argument, not a non argument like the poster I responded to.
You're free to show where my argument does not stick to facts...which you have not done. You've not falsified one argument I made. Not *one*. You've merely added what you think is more info, but it does not address the fact that the *actual* temps measured were measured. You claim I'm 'ignorant' of basic facts and logic, yet another ad hom in your ongoing litany of them, but you don't show this to be the case.
All you've done is explain how data is manipulated in order to combine data sets. You did not address the claims I made about actual measurements.
And this speaks to the larger point here...Regardless of the adjustments made to suit temperature inputs for modeling, the results are *not* actual temperatures ever measured, and it is lying to represent them as such.
Further, if the heat island effects were implicitly measured in non homogenized data, you'd see the impact in the heat island effects in steadily rising measurements. And finally, if that were the case, the 'homogenization' process would cool the later measurements, not the earlier ones...because the heat island effects supposedly increase with time, not shrink.
As initially stated the data set of actual measurements over nearly 100 years of peak heat measurements shows no upward trend. You're pretty impressed with your own claims of cherry picking and ignorance, yet you've failed to show this is not the case. The idea that *real*, actual empirical measurements are some kind of problem shows something else is at work in your arguments.
Using homogenized data and claiming it is real in any empirical way in the real world is false. Not one molecule in the real world was *ever* influenced in any way by another particle at the homogenized temperature. Not one molecule of water vapor, not one molecule of scrub brush, not one molecule of CO2.
Warming or cooling data neither warms nor cools the earth nor shows a warming or cooling earth. It shows warmed or cooled numbers changed from their empirical actual measurement.
The cherry on top...admitting a widely attacked, non climate scientist *improved* their homogenization, thus the implicit admission that science nor judging it is solely the province of climate professionals, but is accessible to *anyone* using proper method.

I know damn well when someone is using slime to impugn people, and that's what you tried to do, now you're trying to walk back attacking someone who disagrees on mere science via implying very personal mental/psychological conditions.
You didn't need to inject that dig into the argument, it is completely irrelevant to the discussion, you pulled it out and did it to impugn. Intentionally implying that my arguments could be the result of a disorder was neither mistake nor accident.
Nothing is off limits when someone disagrees with you on something which should be a scientific discussion. Now that I know what the limits are, none, I look forward to proceeding on a more valid footing with respect to who I'm dealing with.

Nobody here can tell the Goat why he is wrong just that he is wrong and mock him like grade-schoolers. Anonymous grade-schoolers at that.
Unfortunately the science around global warming was spawned from the same vagina as the science used to manage our fisheries. Politics.....Now somebody pretend to be offended it will be the cherry on top.
