twenty-year-hiatus-in-rising-temperatures-has-climate-scientists-puzzled

gee I wonder what that means?
The fact that global surface temperatures have not followed the expected global warming pattern is now widely accepted.

Research by Ed Hawkins of University of Reading shows surface temperatures since 2005 are already at the low end of the range projections derived from 20 climate models and if they remain flat, they will fall outside the models' range within a few years.

"The global temperature standstill shows that climate models are diverging from observations," says David Whitehouse of the Global Warming Policy Foundation.

"If we have not passed it already, we are on the threshold of global observations becoming incompatible with the consensus theory of climate change," he says.

Whitehouse argues that whatever has happened to make temperatures remain constant requires an explanation because the pause in temperature rise has occurred despite a sharp increase in global carbon emissions.
gee where have i heard all that before?

It amazes me at how hard the "true believers" keep trying to deny the facts and find excuses to keep on believing.

and?

Oh right....

you got nothing.

how about you refute some things he wrote?

No? How unusual for you.

BTW Garnaut is a what?
Flannery is a what?

Well for starters boxy some are just plain Wrong!!!!

Are you going to deny Garnaut is an economist and Flannery is more often than not Wrong and also not a Climate Scientist.

Some one informed me today that "global warming" is actually "axial precession." Had no idea what he was talking about so simply gave him a knowing nod.

Yes that obviously has a bearing AiA, but it is a long cycle. Just another parameter in the complexity of the Earth's climate.

Turns out the forecasted warming is spot on.

The climate forecast published in 1999 is showed by the dashed black line. Actual temperatures are shown by the red line (as a 10-year mean) and yellow diamonds (for individual years). The graph shows that temperatures rose somewhat faster than predicted in the early 2000s before returning to the forecasted trend in the last few years. Photograph: Nature Geoscience

You should be panicking then considering these guys also predicted in 2005
The first results from climateprediction.net, a global experiment using computing time donated by the general public, show that average temperatures could eventually rise by up to 11°C - even if carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are limited to twice those found before the industrial revolution. Such levels are expected to be reached around the middle of this century unless deep cuts are made in greenhouse gas emissions.
A guess if you make enough predictions you may eventually get a result right...still doesn't explain why warming has stopped despite the increase in CO2 output.

All this prediction proves that it was at the lower end of the scale of the myriad of wannabe Nostradamus's that were making predictions while searching for grants and funding.
