The puzzle: why have rising temperatures been on a ‘Twenty-year hiatus”?

DEBATE about the reality of a two-decade pause in global warming and what it means has made its way from the sceptical fringe to the mainstream.

[norwaypinesavage]

"Research by Ed Hawkins of University of Reading shows surface temperatures since 2005 are already at the low end of the range projections derived from 20 climate models and if they remain flat, they will fall outside the models’ range within a few years.

Actually, temperatures are ALREADY outside the models' range. The only model with similar temperatures to current is the model where CO2 emissions are frozen at 2000 levels. Since that didn't happen, current temperatures are below ALL models.

...because scientists with agendas about Global Warming have been lying?

“...because scientists with agendas about Global Warming have been lying?”

Expand that to progressives and the UN and you’ve nailed it.

30 to 1 ratio of record cold temps to record warm temps.

“why have rising temperatures been on a ‘Twenty-year hiatus”?”

There was no period of rising temperatures. There is no hiatus. There were a few years in the 1990’s when the El Nino effect caused mild winters in North America. Since that time temperatures have been stable. There has been no global warming whatsoever since the 1990’s.

Global Warming theory is nothing but a fraud.

We’re 10 days into spring and mornings are still in the low 30’s in the Northeast.

Global warming is a bunch of BS.

Cue up the return of The New Ice Age, we are all going to die.

I know, I know, it's been done before; but, now we have a whole new generation to scare.

I remember the Time Magazine cover story on the New Ice Age, back when I was in my 20's.

Fool me once --- not happening again.

“We’re 10 days into spring and mornings are still in the low 30’s in the Northeast.”

Hickory, NC was 29 this morning, 13 degrees below “Normal”.

Yesterday’s High was 11 degrees below “Normal”.

In Sylva, NC it was 19 yesterday morning, 16 degrees below “Normal”, but they are 1000’ higher elevation.

why........WHY?!!!!!!!
ARGH!!!!

Well, they went up for a while, and then they went back down. See? It’s not global warmning, it’s Climate Change. Get with the program.

Very interesting. 1/4 of all CO2 put into the atmosphere by humans since 1750, was put there between the years 2000 to 2010. Yet, temperatures were flat. That right there is proof positive that atmospheric CO2 increases now have no affect on temperature. Simply because we have reached the saturation point for its affects. More CO2 now will just cause more plant growth.
