Global warming 'pause' was a natural fluctuation, scientists say

What would an unnatural fluctuation look like?

[aimhigh]

Pause? The NW (Oregon and Washington) just had the coldest winter on record. Only one local news source had to guts to report that fact.

Human development should focus on ecological balance.

You guys, a natural fluctuation wiped out all global warming for 17 years!

That’s why we can’t see it! A natural fluctuation, you guys!

These idiots don’t realize what they just admitted.

Except that the models they rely upon for their alarmist projections failed to predict the pause.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Temperatures are still high by historical standards; but between 1998 and 2013 they were slightly below what climate models had predicted.

Congrats, UPI. Goebbels would be proud of you packing that big of a propaganda lie into one sentence.

Last winter was amazingly cold across much of the country - If the media didn’t have to support the global warming agenda it would have been one of the top stories of the year.

so was the last ice age

If there is warming it’s anthropomorphic. If there is cooling it is a ‘natural’ pause.

[beethovenfan]

SLIGHTLY below what climate models predicted?????? BS!

No it shouldn’t, newbie Troll

Humans should continue to focus on better/cheaper food, houses, transport and medicine - and a world free of over-mighty Government.

There were stories denying the “pause” just a while ago. Now the “scientists” rewrite again.

[Wuli]

Someone needs to remind the professor, the “pause” is neither predicted by or meets the models used by the “man made” global warming crowd, AND remind the professor that mere corellation (it is a cycle seen before) also does not explain cause.

The REAL fact is that the earth climate has been generally warming, with fits and starts, since the end of the last great ice age, and “industrial polution” or not is likely to keep warming no matter what humans do, OR NOT, as natural forces much stronger than human input dictate.

[Lee'sGhost]

Of course it was a natural fluctuation. The question is, why didn’t any of you or your models predict it...given that it is the same crappy models that you base your plans on for destroying the western world.

Freakin’ lying @ssclowns!

But..But Bob Beckel, on “The 5” last evening, said that June was the hottest month in recorded history (worldwide avg.).

You’re on the wrong site.

Except they cannot prove it. There is no “control” earth floating in our precise orbit, with the exact population of humans, but which uses no fossil fuels and contributes ZERO co2 emissions. So “science” does not actually know and cannot definitely quantify the precise amount of natural co2. Theirs is a best guess, based on who pays the most for grants.
