businessanalyst:
The essential fallacy of blueshifts position is this. Although any trend has its little ups and downs (like the stockmarket for example) there is no denying that carbon production has gone up enormously in the last 10 yrs but the world temp went in the opposite direction. Fail.

Lol! First, can you even define a fallacy? Secondly, my link above showed that you are simply wrong about the last 10 years. Finally, you are ignorant. The standard understanding of climate tells us that the equilibrium temperature will eventually result in a 3 degree +/- 1.5 degrees celsius per doubling of atmospheric C02, i.e. its a logarithmic response. We are at ~390 ppm now and ten years ago we were at ~360. We don't expect to distinguish the response to this 8% change from normal variation over a 10 year time period.

Fail indeed.
