None of the vaunted climate change models predicted the pause, but were still supposed to have absolute faith in the models and their masters.
Just taking a nap for 100 or so years.
Though it would seem that the global warming that was predicted by the brotherhood of the hockey stick is not happening, there is still danger in denying that the profligate use of the earth’s resources will have some adverse effect somewhere down the line. So maybe we should plan for a sensible future, but only without all the drama and self flagellation. I don’t believe that it is necessary drive bicycles and eat dirt.
We have maybe been given a reprieve to get it right.
This effect has been seen more recently when the Pinatubo volcano erupted in 1991. The normal amount of sunlight reaching the Earth's surface was reduced by roughly 10% leading to a decrease in global temperatures of about 0.7 F. Even the feared hole in the ozone layer reached record levels. Yet there was no climate tipping point and things have settled back to normal patterns.
The global warming dogma that molecular level increases of CO2 in the atmosphere caused by human industrial activity will warm the climate to a tipping point resulting in a catastrophic heating are total bunk. While CO2 levels have increased from a variety of sources there has been no global warming, but measurable global cooling for almost two decades.
