Fears that the findings will encourage deniers of man-made climate change:
Scientists working on the most authoritative study on climate change were urged to cover up the fact that the world’s temperature hasn’t risen for the last 15 years, it is claimed.
A leaked copy of a United Nations report, compiled by hundreds of scientists, shows politicians in Belgium, Germany, Hungary and the United States raised concerns about the final draft. Published next week, it is expected to address the fact that 1998 was the hottest year on record and world temperatures have not yet exceeded it, which scientists have so far struggled to explain. The report is the result of six years’ work by UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which is seen as the world authority on the extent of climate change and what is causing it – on which governments including Britain’s base their green policies.
But leaked documents seen by the Associated Press, yesterday revealed deep concerns among politicians about a lack of global warming over the past few years. Germany called for the references to the slowdown in warming to be deleted, saying looking at a time span of just 10 or 15 years was ‘misleading’ and they should focus on decades or centuries. Hungary worried the report would provide ammunition for deniers of man-made climate change. Belgium objected to using 1998 as a starting year for statistics, as it was exceptionally warm and makes the graph look flat - and suggested using 1999 or 2000 instead to give a more upward-pointing curve.

World's top climate scientists told to 'cover up' the fact that the Earth's temperature hasn't risen for the last 15 years
U.S. taxpayers probably pay for the majority of this cover up through the UN and other groups.

And yet I still can’t talk to a person under 30 about the global warming fraud without being called an ignorant denier. They have been brainwashed very well. Not that there aren’t freepers under 30 that reject global warming, but out on the street, I can’t find any.
These people need to be lined up along side of a ditch.
There are a lot of stupid people around.
Just this morning our local postmistress informed me that she was afraid of what Russia will do with the Syrian chemical weapons if they get their hands on them. In her twisted thinking, Russia is technologically advanced enough to become the second nuclear power on the planet but has never managed to produce chemical weapons of their own.
I just smiled and excused myself.
its the international religion....
“looking at a time span of just 10 or 15 years was ‘misleading’ and they should focus on decades”
Sure. How many are old enough to recall even two thirty year weather cycles? It takes that many (or a lot of paying attention to your elders and a few decades of your own) to realize the cyclical nature of weather on even such a small scale.
I won't even touch on the hubris involved in thinking we can have a serious effect on the weather short of producing our own near extinction level event.

I bet if you started telling kids that leprechauns lived beneath the Earth with the Morlocks in public school they’d believe it if you invoked the name of “science”!
“There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact.”
Mark Twain
Even more so when your “science” is made up to push a Socialist agenda.
hide the decline in algore’s behind.
Temperatures are down slightly.
In this, the year when Arctic ice was to disappear, there is a record amount of ice in the Arctic for this time of year.
No wonder these people think the Earth is warming — their pants are on fire.
