re: #336 Cineaste

There seem to be some real divergences between the expected outcome of Svensmark’s theory and the observable data though. Again, I really am not well versed in this area, however the concerns seem reasonable. What seems to show up in several of these theories is that sometime in the last 40 years the earth started accelerating its warming in a way that defies almost any of the natural models for ‘natural’ warming.

Ten years ago, this seemed to fit. But we’ve had little if any warming over the last decade and now the recent temp rise doesn’t seem quite so dramatic. If things don’t pick up in the next decade (given a surely big rise in CO2) the lack of correlation between CO2 and global temp will be significant.
