  i'm not a us citizen but i can't see how this stupid comic about another issue relates to global warming other than for populist propaganda. another 2 cents: let's distinguish global warming and climate change. the two relate like temperature and co2 do.

    You've got to be joking. You don't see how a comic about a character denying the increasing heat surrounding her relates to people in the real world denying global warming exists?

      the world has yet to see evidence that warming or cooling is NOT a "feature" of the ever natural climate change.
      - coffeedan 13y ago
        that's great, but what's the "other issue" that you say the comic is about, if it's not about global warming (proven or not)?

You can't measure global warming on 10 year scale. There are a multitude of other factors such as sol's 11 years cycle and Earth wobble that can counteract global warming or manifest a cooling down trend over short time intervals.

What the article is doing is this: http://oi42.tinypic.com/1z2d9o6.jpg http://oi42.tinypic.com/1z2d9o6.jpg If you cherry-pick your time periods, you can lie to people about the overall data while making individual statements that are each true or sort of close to true. "no temperature change from 1970 to 1975!" "no temperature change from 1980 to 1985!" And so on. Articles like this should be deleted from Hacker News, along with the users that post them.
