The 17-year pause in global warming is likely to last into the 2030s and the Arctic sea ice has already started to recover, according to new research.
A paper in the peer-reviewed journal Climate Dynamics by Professor Judith Curry of the Georgia Institute of Technology and Dr Marcia Wyatt amounts to a stunning challenge to climate science orthodoxy.
Not only does it explain the unexpected pause, it suggests that the scientific majority whose views are represented by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have underestimated the role of natural cycles and exaggerated that of greenhouse gases.
The research comes amid mounting evidence that the computer models on which the IPCC based the gloomy forecasts of a rapidly warming planet in its latest report, published in September, are diverging widely from reality.
The graph shown above, based on a version published by Dr Ed Hawkins of Reading University on his blog, Climate Lab Book, reveals that actual temperatures are now below the predictions made by almost all the 138 models on which the IPCC relies.........

and make a good crop of sunspots before elections in 2016....
(PhysOrg.com) -- Sunspot formation is triggered by a magnetic field, which scientists say is steadily declining. They predict that by 2016 there may be no remaining sunspots, and the sun may stay spotless for several decades.
The last time the sunspots disappeared altogether was in the 17th and 18th century, and coincided with a lengthy cool period on the planet known as the Little Ice Age....and lasted 400 years.
Good luck surviving with no electricity and GE modified seeds.

Bond fire? What is this, the Weimarer Republic?
Oh, never mind...
That was a Bund fire.
I don’t boy the word “pause”.
Fiat currency is...fuel! Bond or Bund!
When the globe cools, the three fates shall consider our weird, whether the crackling fire be Bond or Bund!
if your program didn’t come up with the pause, then your historical data was worthless.
That’s great, we can use the USD by the wheel-borrow load....
What a tool!
“this would suggest that the models were not fit for purpose”
No, they were totally fit for purpose. Unfortunately, it’s for political purpose and not scientific.
You got it!
