What Bob Carter and Andrew Bolt fail to grasp:”… most of the extra solar energy trapped by the Earth’s slightly thicker blanket of greenhouse gases has not gone into raising air temperatures. It’s poured into the vast oceans (which contain about hundreds of times the volume of the atmosphere) … Indeed, it has been shown that about 90% of this additional energy has be used to heat water and about 7% to melt ice. Only about 3% is left over to warm the air. So we shouldn’t be at all surprised if air temperatures show the weakest response to the enhanced greenhouse effect – at least in the short term.”
Yes, the planet has kept warming since 1998
Yes, the data show the planet STILL keeps warming

NOAA: 2008 Fifth Warmest July on Record for Globe Also, the seven months from January to July 2008 ranked as the ninth warmest seven-month period for combined average global land and ocean surface temperature.
Top 11 Warmest Years On Record Have All Been In Last 13 Years
And the first six months of the year 2008 were the ninth warmest since record keeping began in 1880, NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center reported.
According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) the decade of 1998-2007 is the warmest on record.
2007 seventh hottest year since 1880
CLIMATE CHANGE IS NOT HAPPENING IT IS CLEAR TO EVEN STUPIDIST “LAYMAN” THAT SCIENTISTS JUST WANT MORE RESEARCH FUNDING FOR THERE LIBERAL RESEARCH THAT IS DESTROYING AMERICAS MORAL INTEGRITY

Gariba reminds me of the creatonist that use to post screeds like this on evolution blogs:
EVOLUTION IS NOT HAPPENING IT IT IS CLEAR TO EVEN STUPIDIST “LAYMAN” THAT SCIENTISTS JUST WANT MORE RESEARCH FUNDING FOR THERE LIBERAL RESEARCH THAT IS DESTROYING AMERICAS MORAL INTEGRITY YOU ARE ALL GOING TO HELL!!!!
I don’t think professor Carter has a problem understanding that the majority of the warming should take place in the oceans. I think those who continue to harp on pending doom from GHGs fail to comprehend the lack of warming the oceans are experiencing.

It astounds me that you are all missing the point here. Let’s review the LOGIC:
1) If the earth is warming up, then heat is being added… from somewhere!!
2) Think of a very hot object… oh I don’t know… the sun perhaps? i.e a GIANT BALL OF FIRE – A star… to put it simply
3) A blackhole is a star that has collapsed in on itself, under gravity… therefore it should be hotter than hell itself
4) Conclusion: The world famous blackhole generator – THE LHC – is responsible for global warming! Take that logic, scientists!
