My child has been growing for 14 years. He just happens to be shorter today than he was seven years ago.

Well, but you only measured him once. Maybe tomorrow he’ll be 40′ tall. You never know with these things.
In accordance with AGW Logic – There is a hidden tipping point that once reached will result in runaway growth!
I just drew a trend line: by 2100 my child will be over 35′ tall, and his schoolbooks will weigh almost 750lb.
When he went to elementary, the school was only 1200 metres from the house. By middle school that number had grown to 8300 metres. This means that by the time he is 400 years old he’ll be going to a school in Monticello, Kentucky.
OMG. You should apply for a government grant to research this. It has profound implications for policies in all sorts of areas: housing, transport, education … possibly even climate!
That reminds me of the Mark Twain quote from ‘Life on the Mississippi’:
‘There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact.’
Oh, and forgot to add – “It will be worse than we thought”, “women and children will be hardest hit”………
It’s just the Trenberth effect, Steve.
Your son has been secretly sequestering his “missing growth” in his – - – - uhhhh – - – ummmmm – - – BVDs
Once he reaches the tipping point, KABOOM!! It’ll be like Jack and that beanstalk
Nope, not going to say it.
I remember reading that analogy somewhere before that some greenie weenie used to try and make a point for their consensus, you know like the analogy the green weenies use about doctors and consensus to try and make their point for their AGW consensus.
You forgot to add the 3 mm per year, um, thingy.
Your son’s lack of increase in height is still consistent with growth. Growth can result in being tall, no change in height, or being short. However, No matter what it’s still catastrophic.
An article by ‘conservative’ Michael Gerson just appeared in the WPost: Climate and the Culture War. Looks like bullshit to me, at a quick glance. We might want to go there and call him on his baloney. It is the worst when so-called conservatives start towing the liberal line.
Anyway, at one point he said something about ‘mandated lifestyles.’ So that gave me an idea for a comment, which I’ll repeat here:
If he is shorter now than he was 7 years ago, I think he should STAND UP!
Well then Steve give the kid some encouragement instead of “cutting him down to size”.
It’s the Urban Height Island effect – you have to add a bit on to compensate for it, as GISS and USHCN appear to do with temperatures.
