STOCKHOLM Scientists working on a landmark U.N. report on climate change are struggling over how to address a wrinkle in the meteorological data that has given ammunition to global-warming skeptics: The heating of Earth's surface appears to have slowed in the past 15 years even though greenhouse gas emissions keep rising.
For years, skeptics have touted what looks like a slowdown in surface warming since 1998 to cast doubt on the scientific consensus that humans are cooking the planet by burning coal, oil and natural gas.

Just wait until you see the econazis’ botched math trying to explain why the oceans dropped 7mm in 2012.

A bunch of government grant cases pouring over noisy data hoping a few runs through a 2-pole political filter will smooth it to their liking.

Exactly.. Al Gore compares climate skeptics to anti- abolitionists, racists, homophobes, and alcoholic families. Gravy train won't last forever..

O all the hoaxes levied on the American people by politicians, next to Obama, global warming has to rank a close second.

which is measured over decades and centuries.
And those are the same decades and centuries you ignore the cooling in. What, two or three catastrophic ice ages (and famines) in the last 200 years? Where did those fit in the model?

So the actual data from the past fifteen years is a “statistical mirage” and a “quirk”. Yet the computer models that don’t match this data are “settled science”. And to top this all off, the attempts to address these errors come from governments, not scientists. This is a drowning man grasping at straws. Actually, it’s a drowning man grasping at razors.
