That sciencey stuff is truly inconvenient to Warmists
(Register) Figures released by the UN’s World Meteorological Organisation indicate that 2012 is set to be perhaps the ninth hottest globally since records began – but that planetary warming, which effectively stalled around 1998, has yet to resume at the levels seen in the 1980s and early 1990s.
The WMO figures are produced by averaging those from the three main climate databases: those of NASA, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the British one compiled jointly by the Met Office and the University of East Anglia.
The 2012 figure for the year so far stands at 14.45°C. If that were the figure for the full year, it would be cooler than 1998 (14.51°C) and most of the years since then (full listing from the Met Office here).
Warmists are attempting to spin
“We are investigating why the temperature rise at the surface has slowed in recent years, including how ocean heat content changes and the effects of aerosols from atmospheric pollution may have influenced global climate.”
In other words, they have no idea why Nature has decided to blow up the computer model prognostication.
So, given a mis-match between what the models say and what actually happens, they thing the WORLD is wrong?
Why yes, yes they do. And they are determined to find out why the world won’t cooperate.
Ok, where’d that warming go that we projected that was there? This must mean that our measurements were wrong since it doesn’t fit the models we prepared.
We’ll get around to fixing our models and data collection issues some day. Right now, I have another model of reality to create.
Going to have to stop back here again; the mental midgets seem to be MIA. Haven’t they been given their AGW talking points yet, on this one?
