Fitting that the second hottest year should follow the coldest year, globally.

Rubbish!  2009 was the fifth hottest on record, not at all the coldest. Where do you get this stuff from?

If CO2 is the reason for the warmer global temperatures as claimed, why are the winters getting colder?

Do you read nothing? Winters aren't getting colder, we are seeing record tempretures globally.

Thermal inertia states that the winters should also be getting warmer

Honestly, think my boy.  There is still natural variation. For example...

The overall long-term warming trend is 0.16C. In the last 10 years the rate decreased slightly, due to natural variation. That’s the trend, long term, regardless of season.

This year saw a weaker El Nino, and that fizzled out to be replaced by a La Nina cooling event.

So scientists expected this year's temperatures to be substantially lower than 1998 - but they are not. Within the bounds of statistical error, the two years are likely to be the same.

Events like El Nino, and El Nina are responsible for considerable short-term variation. Winters in the long term, over many decades on average, will be warmer, but there is still short-term natural variation.

It means therefore that CO2 is not causing global warming, but in fact some other mechanism, is (e.g. the Sun).

The sun Has a profound effect on weather., especially in the Northern hemisphere. Of course it does, and there have been many occasions when graphs show a correlation between increased solar activity and temperature. However... records over decades show clear examples of temperature change that’s not accounted for by solar activity.

So Big Oil are responsible for the freezing temperatures and the snow fall?

No, natural climate variability is. Come on, you understood plain English, you're winding me up now.

 

The freezing temperatures, like last years freezing temperatures, are a local phenomenon, a short-term phenomenon, a result of natural climate variability, due to factors like ocean currents, solar activity etc, etc. 

Global warming is measured over decades, not this winter, and not last winter. Globally, the 2010's were hotter than the 90's, the 90's were hotter than the 80's, etc. Fact! Within those decades there will be natural, short term variability.

The mega powerful oil companies have been attempting to sabotage climate science for decades. You are capable of reading and interpreting everything I typed above, so don't wind me up Pointy. Don’t ignore the links, don’t ignore the facts.

Stop deflecting from the real issue that the argument for CO2 causing global warming is bogus. It is dead.

Wow! Thats quite a bizarre statement isn't it, considering the enormous consensus that it's happening? And decade after decade of record high tempretures

 

How can providing you with the answers, real scientific answers, to all of your questions, countering every claim you make... be deflecting the argument?

 

Time and time again, you make the same claims, time and time again I give you the answers, you don’t counter any of my arguments, all you do is ignore them.

 

And now you categorically refuse to consider the role the oil companies play in discrediting climate science. How come you don't put the same effort into investigating the oil companies attempts to discredit climate science, as you do researching the garbage the denialists spout???????????? 

 

You don’t have to be a genius to understand how much the oil companies have to lose, as a result of measures to combat climate change. It’s common sense. The actions they have taken are FACT! Not pseudo science and invention like the denialists.

 

Scepticism is good, scepticism works, scepticism is a big part of the scientific method, and scientists are sceptics.

 

You on the other hand are a denialist! You deny, despite having your arguments countered by fact.

 

Oil is running out, but for some strange reason they can't say that, so they're deflecting and saying the planet is warming

 

And the above is a prime example of my point.    Numerous times I have pointed out to you, how no one has ever denied we are running out of oil. It’s one of the reasons behind the logic of reducing fossil fuel use. Energy security is another. Have you not seen the numerous articles and TV documentaries on such things?

 

However... despite the fact the politicians, and researchers all freely admit, and agree that oil is a finite resource, and we should conserve it... it doesn’t negate the veracity of MMGW.

 

 

Just look at the behavior of people when they said there was a fuel shortage,

Imagine now that they're told oil is running out

 

Sorry, but that’s laughable.    People are aware that oil is running out, it’s freely admitted. What planet have you been living on? How many links to such admittance would you like me to provide? Since I have been a child, they have been admitting that oil will run out.

 

As for "society going into melt down if we are told", that’s nonsense. We have been told, and society isn’t going into melt down. There is a huge difference between “you won’t have any petrol for your car for two weeks” a threat that is imminent. And “oil is gradually running out and will run out in 2-5 decades time. Human beings don’t worry about what happens way into the future... precisely why many aren’t bothering to change their habits and help combat climate change.
