Comparing everything for the last 11 years to one abnormal peak in 1998 is not very good data-analysis technique. If you pick either the preceding or following year, you don’t see a cooling trend.

So let's compare the last 11 years to the model predicitons of IPCC. What do we find? Useless models enginneered by useless sceintists showing zero correlation to the observed climate change while CO2 rises linearly.

In plain English they and their followers are FOS.

That's why models are refined over time. If we threw out everything from any theory or model that failed, we'd have thrown out Continental Drift and not gotten to Plate Tectonics, for example.

I don't believe these are good models. I don't believe we know nearly as much about climate change as these "scientists" would claim. I also believe many of the sceptics overstate their claims against climate change. Both sides are acting politically, not scientifically, and both sides have honest scientists...who are acting scientifically despite their personal beliefs in what is actually happening.

Disclaimer: I am biased against Penn State's Earth System Science Center because of interactions with some of its personnel in the past.
