   If you were standing on the stern of the Titanic, not too long   
   after it hit that iceberg, you could scream "Omg! The ship is   
   flying up out of the water" and ACCURATELY predict that the   
   stern could soon be observed with the naked eye to be rising   
   up, into the sky. And, indeed, observations & measurement   
   would confirm this startling fact:  The stern is rising out   
   of the water!  The only conclusion one might make, or so a   
   complete idiot like you could argue, is that soon the ship &   
   all onboard would be high above the clouds!   
      
   The simple fact -- and it is simple and it is a fact -- that   
   at it's very foundation, climate hysterics is 100% based on   
   comparing the Holocene to itself, and then claiming that it   
   doesn't match.   
      
   WORSE:  It's comparing a tiny, cherry picked sliver of the   
   Holocene to itself, and claiming it doesn't match.   
      
   This, at a fundamental level, is unforgivable stupidity.
