A whole generation has not known any statistically significant warming. Could more generations be without? (via Junk Science)
(Reuters) The IPCC reiterated that a warming trend is “unequivocalâ€, and some effects would last far beyond the lifetimes of people now alive, such as heat penetrating ever deeper into the oceans.
In other words, the oceans ate their warming, which is very convenient (but doesn’t explain why this didn’t happen during the previous spikes during the Modern Warm Period), and they aren’t quite sure if the current pause will last for several decades (such as the late 40’s through the late 70’s) or longer, but they need a way to Blame Mankind in order to get some of that sweet sweet taxpayer money.
BTW, Ace notes that the NY Times finally realizes that taking Michael Mann’s tree ring based “hockey stick” was a mistake.
