The debate on Man-made Climate Change, aka Anthropogenic Global Warming, has been raging for a couple decades now.
The establishment media has told us repeatedly in recent years that there is consensus among 97% of climate scientists that global warming is real, and that it is caused by human activity. For many people, this appeal to authority has been convincing, and they lash out at any opposition calling them ‘climate-deniers’ or worse.
Recent data has emerged that casts major doubt on the general consensus. So how could 97% of the world’s climate experts get something like this wrong?
Most people assume that the scientific community acts purely in a non-biased way, using methods that have been standardized across the board. So much faith has been put into establishment science, especially by the left, that to question any of the findings is akin to heresy.

“From 1998 to 2013, the rate of global mean surface warming slowed, which some call the “global warming hiatus.”
This completely contradicts Karl 2015 which states the warming rate stayed the same or slightly increased over 20th century rates. And ALL the graphs (NASA, NOAA, GISS) were changed to reflect Karl’s new “science”.
“Natural variability plays a large role in the rate of global mean surface warming on decadal time scales.”
If Natural variability “plays a large role” that also contradicts everything climate scientists have been stating for decades.
If it “plays a large role” in slowing the warming, then it also “plays a large role” in hastening the warming.
Well, this has nothing to do with the US, but the ONLY thing I've seen that makes any sense, is the plume of soot from China and India (visible from space) which drifts over and settles on the icepack.
The Sun shining on the black soot causes the snow/ice to melt. But that IS NOT "global warming"...just pollution.
The whining green-weenie/RATs need to take their protests over there.
I wish that guy up in Fairbanks would resume his Al Gore ice sculpture work. My favorite was the one that had a hose connected to the exhaust pipe of a pickup truck, making Al’s mouth spew toxic fumes.

Government funding.
Uh oh. NASA realizing Trump will expose the AGW hoax and they are re-positioning themselves to say “See, we never SAID it was absolutely true.”
Jackoffs.
Those are President Trumps research grants now, and you can bet he is going to be giving those grants to climatologists who will expose the AGW hoax with real science that accounts for the sun’s affect, and not continue this lie.

I’m not tired of winning!
The opinion piece states no references for its claims.
It’s a disservice to espouse a valid opinion and not cite any referable data to support it.
They trusted Nate Silver's models?
More cowbell!
The shortest answer is that they are not the experts. Science is incredibly political, and is very different than sports. In sports whether you are good at what you do or not is generally very evident. If you hit home runs, throw touchdown passes, score soccer goals in every game, etc., it's evident and irrefutable. In science, if you network well and ‘sell’ your positions well enough, you can politicize yourself to credibility. A few years ago a scientist-director from Amgen organized a group of scientist from that company to try to replicate the results of ~60 high profile scientific studies published in the ‘best’ scientific journals. This group found that only 6 of these studies could be replicated. These are studies published in the ‘best’ scientific journals. If only 10% of studies published in those journals can be replicated, what does that say about the state of science?
No doubt that incompetence plays as big a part as greed. These people don’t have to produce any tangible goods to put food on the table, just “learned” opinions.

The scam has been well known for some time. The surface data has been played with to make it look like warming is taking place. Raw data and satellite data do not establish a trend. The climate models have no established operational capability and don’t agree even with the manipulated data.

Where could the heat gone? The bottom of the Ocean? This claim has come up before and has been refuted.
Nothing we didn’t already know.
