    New report: Global Warming stopped 16 years ago

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencete...-prove-it.html

    The world stopped getting warmer almost 16 years ago, according to new data released last week.



    The figures, which have triggered debate among climate scientists, reveal that from the beginning of 1997 until August 2012, there was no discernible rise in aggregate global temperatures.



    This means that the ‘plateau’ or ‘pause’ in global warming has now lasted for about the same time as the previous period when temperatures rose, 1980 to 1996. Before that, temperatures had been stable or declining for about 40 years.

    A few years ago, another forum, largely liberal, I reported Judith Curry's pointing out BEST data showed 12 years of virtually flat temps. The libs jumped all over her, saying she was unqualified and making things up. They cited Richard A. Muller as shooting her down as a crank. Turned out she is a more than qualified climatologist, chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology, member of the National Research Council's Climate Research Committee, awarded by the American Meteorological Society, and, at the time, co-chair of the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature (BEST) project with none other than Muller who had actually praised her work, said it was true, and only cautioned, along with some other climatologists, that they should wait 15 years to make a determination.

    It's now 16 years.

    The latest Durban Conference on Climate Change practically told the climate alarmists to take a hike.

    While there's no denying man has some effect, the sky is simply not falling.

    This is what happens when people depend on models for their data. Models are only metaphors.

    Right, computer models are only as strong as the data entered into them. Even Mann admits that the models are flawed. Well if they are flawed why are you saying that they are correct?

    It's why they're models - they're projections, estimations.

    If the science were absolute, it would be fact.

    That and the hypotheses they represent and test, and the exaggerations of the media!

    It's always fun to watch tea baggers attempt science by misreading newpaper articles.
