Yes. We are seeing warming at 1/3rd the rate of the UN IPCC AGW models. That rate of warming is consistent with NATURAL effects due to solar magnetic variability and its effects on water vapor (a much more potent gas than CO2). This is a continuation of the warming since the end of the Little Ice Age. The following paper shows in Figure 7 how badly the AGW models are wrong;

The observed warming you are showing is consistent with NATURAL warming for the last 150 years. It is a whopping factor of 3 below what we would observe if CO2 caused water vapor effects that the UN claims.
You can call me any label you like, but you are not practicing science until you address the 3 satellite datasets and 7 balloon datasets that all show warming consistent with NATURAL causes. nb: the surface dataset is now 50% estimated and is completely worthless, but I'm sure you already know that, right?
The empirical data show the Transient Climate Response is 1/3rd the modeled value, down by nearly a factor of 10 from the modeled value a decade ago. The ECS is about half the modeled value. See Figure 7 of the following peer-reviewed paper:
http://www.iieta.org/sites/def...
Stop listening to people and look at the empirical evidence of the satellite and balloon datasets for yourself. The UN IPCC AGW Hypothesis is now falsified at the 95% level and the observed rate of warming matches the rate for the last 150 years where changes in solar magnetic activity cause the well-attested Little Ice Age and we've been warming out of it ever since. If you deny the 3 satellite and 7 balloon datasets in favor of the Lysenkoist Government position then you are an anti-scientific Flat Earther.
Buzz Aldrin (Second Man to walk on the Moon) and a lot of other astronauts are skeptical about the UN IPCC AGW Hypothesis:

You would think the doomsayers would be happy that the Earth was not being destroyed by modern technology. but no, they appear to want to cling to their apocalyptic delusion in defiance of the observed data.
ps. the surface data sets are completely worthless. Most people who cling to them don't know that nearly 50% of the data is now 'estimated' based on assuming the IPCC model is true. The surface data sets are no longer 'observations' according to the Scientific Method, they are in fact 'hypothesis'. The data are the satellite and balloon data sets.
That is the essence of identity politics gone bad
That has always been the purpose of Identity Politics, to balkanize a society into tribal groups that can be pitted against each other and played off by the globalist 'elites'. That was the whole point of pushing it by the Post Modernists and Cultural Marxists. They think if they destroy 'The Evil Patriarchy' (which is, Enlightenment Civilization based on Individualism and the sovereign Nation State) then not only will thermonuclear war be avoided but also the Collectivist utopia can be instantiated - overseen by the 'elites', of course. The "Ends Justify the Means" and destruction of Individual Liberty is supposed to usher in utopia, of course it always ushers in a dystopian nightmare where Individuals are slaughtered by their own governments and liberty dies at the hands of dogmatisms of what we would now call 'Political Correctness'.
Whenever a group bigger than the Individual and Family becomes more important than the Individual then individuals suffer. Look at all the democides of the last century, nearly all were by big Collectives and Identity Groups who persecuted Individuals. The only known antidote to this is Classic Liberalism where the Individual is the protected unit of society, and economic transactions are voluntary, not an Identity Group who can harm Individuals with involuntary transactions coerced with State force.
Thanks to all the tax livestock out there paying for this. The Government forces the innovative and industrious to pay up, and then hands lots, and lots of money as 'incentives' to companies like Solyndra, and to keep the solar schemes running (they generally are not sustainable without taking money from the citizens).
This is quite the Ponzi Scheme.
It might not be Year of the Linux Desktop, but it has been Year of the Linux Mobile for a few years. Plus Java too ('Anrdoid' is the friendly brand for what is, at essence, Google's 'Java'-esque system on Linux).
I personally have an iPhone and a Mac, but if you count Android as a Linux then Linux is nearly everywhere - from tony mobile and embedded to zillions of servers running all over the Internet.
It is great Bill Gates has worked out that the Linux+Java+mobile hardware combination is a winner in terms of usability and feature set. I'm not holding my breath for Richard Stallman to do the inverse.
This created an inertia in Microsoft's favor.
Bah! not "inertia" but *momentum*. Inertia is the apparent result of conservation of momentum. We often think of inertia as 'resistance' to change in momentum, but really it is just the label we use for the idea that momentum won't change without application of a force.
Actually, scientists in this field have stated that Demore's claims are factual in scientific terms, although they are heresy for the current Cultural Marxist/Post Modernist denials of reality.
What is interesting is the propaganda claim that Demore's views are "Anti Diversity". This is counter-factual. Demore wants MORE DIVERISTY, with Diversity of Opinion being the greatest among these. If you read his manifesto before the reposters of it disgracefull edited it you will see this is true. The editing of his manifesto is proof that the thesis cannot be refuted, they have to edit and present a strawman for people to get enraged about.
We are not headed for Nineteen Eighty Four, we are in it. The media work for the enemy of Free People. If you haven't realized this yet then you are working for the wrong team. History will not judge you kindly.
