What kind of source is that??? You said you were an engineer? I would guess you learnt something about trend lines... If you start drawing a trend line from an anomaly (1998 was exceptionally warm year due to other factors) it messes everything up.

Furthermore if the trend line between 1998 and now is flat that suggests that we are actually warming. This is because what used to be considered uncharacteristically warm (1998) is now the new normal.

I don't care if you agree with climate change or not but at least use sources that aren't complete garbage.

Batshit Bob isn't capable of doing the calculations/extrapolations. If you look at his history of posts, he has an endless supply of pseudo/junk science articles from fringe websites to support is meager understanding of science. He's a sanitation engineer and doesn't understand math, statistics or the scientific method.
