No matter how much Cult of Climastrology members want to Deny it, no matter how they want to create excuses, it’s real. Oh, and no matter how much Warmists want to attack the messenger, Christopher Monckton of Brenchley
(Watts Up With That?) One-third of Man’s entire influence on climate since the Industrial Revolution has occurred since January 1997. Yet for 224 months since then there has been no global warming at all (Fig. 1). With this month’s RSS temperature record, the Pause sets a new record at 18 years 8 months.
The hiatus period of 18 years 8 months is the farthest back one can go in the RSS satellite temperature record and still show a sub-zero trend. The start date is not cherry-picked: it is calculated. And the graph does not mean there is no such thing as global warming. Going back further shows a small warming rate.
Other data shows a slight, very, very slight, warming trend. Which, let’s face it, is to be expected during a Holocene warm period.
This data in no way means that warming hasn’t occurred, nor that more warming won’t happen in the future. What it does show is the complete failure of Warmists talking points and computer models. That is the point in showing this. Skeptics do not believe that there hasn’t been warming. They don’t believe that there can’t be more warming. Our debate is over causation, not warming. If, per, CoC talking points and computer models, the Modern Warm Period warming was mostly/solely caused by Mankind, there should not be any pauses. Nor would there be a need for all the excuses.
Oh, and Warmists would actually act like this is a crisis, taking extreme measures in their own lives, rather than demanding taxes and more and more Government control.
