Meh, just measure long enough and you are going to see those tails of your standard normal distribution fill up slowly.
Weird how all the hot tails fill up after 2000 and all the cold tails filled up before 2000.

#72Maybe that'll make them rethink drilling for more oil and gas there.
Alaska has its own sovriegn wealth fund, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Permanent_Fund, which is largely funded by oil drilling. It pays out a dividend to residents every year. Threatening that, even slightly or indirectly, is probably political suicide.

Same copy paste on every climate change post is starting to feel like tedious spam at this point. I see from your history it's the only thing you have ever posted on HN.
Complaining about posts that are trying to raise awareness of and find solutions to climate meltdown feels a bit like criticising a fire alarm for disturbing your sleep. Calling this "spam" implies the poster hopes to profit from his actions. In this case, the poster literally wants to save the entire planet.
Well I'm no groth hax0r like OP, but it shouldn't be too difficult for them to sit down and write an actual comment. Like you just did, and like I'm doing right now. Who cares if a lazy spammer has a heart of gold?

#75There was me thinking the city occasionally travels towards the North Pole but never quite gets there.

#76If any mod could edit the title to be "90°F" that would be great, it took me longer than I'm willing to admit to understand what it meant :)
Looks like some mod already did that.
Great ! now rest of the world can't understand.

Good remarks, good sources. Still would like to see if there is no naturally sinusoidal tendency in the slightly longer term, i.e., are we just going into another Medieval Warm Period? [0]

Sure, whatever. Honestly, I'm tired of arguing with denialists. Really, I do hope that it turns out you're correct and know better than almost every climate scientist on earth. At this point irrational hope is about the only hope left, so sure. Let's say you're right. Everything is fine. Natural cycles. Whatever.
>I'm tired of arguing with denialists I don't think that guy is denying anything. He's merely stating that the earth has gone through drastic changes _many_ times in the past. What makes this change the final one before earth is incapable of sustaining life?

Bringing with them tons of changes to the climate, the kind which would kill billions from famines, floods, tornadoes, heat, lack of potable water, etc, in our hugely populated modern world.
>What makes this change the final one before earth is incapable of sustaining life?
We don't merely want an Earth "capable of sustaining life". We want an Earth capable of sustaining us, the whole 8 billions, and not a hellhole of environmental disaster, famine, decertification, and so on.
I could not give less fucks if cockroaches and wolves, e.g. survive, but billions of people are wiped out...

It's not that it's inherently a bad question, I just feel like it's been answered a lot. https://xkcd.com/1732/
